......I awoke in a sitting position, my hands were tied behind my back and mylegs were tied to the chair. I was not blindfolded and found myself in as...mall room with a window and a small lamp located on a night table. Icouldn't see outside the window so for all I knew, I could be in Maine orIndia. After a short time a man entered the room. He was about 6 foot 5 200 lbs,fit, with blond hair and blue eyes. He surveyed me for a moment, walking acircle around me appraising me like a lion looks at a. He flipped the light switch off, shrouding the room in total darkness except for the lone bulb down the hallway. He closed the heavy steel door behind him and felt it click as the heavy locks fell into place.The locks would never be enough to stop someone determined, but they did keep casual strangers from observing that he had a convenience store hidden in his basement.He walked out of the adjoining room which, though dark, was visible in the semi-lit conditions. He noted the tables and. She said, "I think I am ready to make our relationship exclusive. No more dating other men. I'm ready to settle down with you. We'll talk about it more about this when you get home."That was good news but didn't have the impact I would have expected. I told her that was great news and that I couldn't wait to get home and make love to her. We talked for a little while longer then said our good byes.I turned out the light and laid back thinking about how Carla was gong to react when she opened. Even with the tour of the core town, I still arrived at the Downtown House an hour before Sylvia. While I drank coffee, listened to tunes, and charged my power cells, I sat on the sofa at the foot of my bed just looking out at the traffic ... It was proving to be a really good morning.I saw Sylvia ride by the window on her scooter. A few minutes later I heard her enter the townhouse through the rear door. "I'm up here," I said."I'll be down here taking care of business. Why don't you come down.
