He walked out to the beach and Tina walked over to me and asked if the nude thing bothered me she would remain in a suit, I didn't want to seem like a... prude and was kind of curious so I said don't be silly it will be fun. Well Manny looked at me with a pretty shocked look but didn't complain.Manny and I went out to the beach and joined them; I remember the rush I got from both seeing Peter nude on his back while I slipped off my towel exposing myself. Well the next few hours were interesting,. “But for all her fear she was… determined. She seemed to make it her personal vow to make our life at House IronWing work. She always told me we had to work very hard to repay Master Edwin for his kindness. She was graceful, and she was patient. She said Humans hated us because we frightened them. Because we were different. It wasn’t their fault, and we should try to be patient with them, and kind.” “She must have had a good heart,” Rael offered. “Yes. Well. Her good, tolerant heart got her. I suppose you're going to take me back." No, Jagati. We're not going back to Nepal. I'm going to protect you. I've no other purpose. It's what I am programmed to do."If he's expecting me to be touched he's in for a rude awakening."You know, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing about your duty, Bas. I know you're a computer program. I don't need a constant reminder of it." She shoved at his chest and tried to squirm out from under him.Bas stiffened and a soft moan escaped him. Immediately, Jagati. " I know," I said. "I just feel like I've been waiting forever and there's always one more thing, you know?" Yeah." Mark was brushing Chrissy's hair out of the sleeping boy's face, slowly and gently. "We'll get there though, all three of us. I promise." Hmmm," I sighed, smiling and just watching as Mark touched Chris and I loved them both so much that it almost hurt."I'm gonna call home later," Mark decided after we'd been quiet for awhile. "See what's going on back there." I hope we can go.
