He recognized the voice and wasn't really prepared to deal with his friend today. Still, he knew that Jay wouldn't give up, so he turned and flashed him a small smile. "Dude!

I did get more workouts in to help relieve the frustration of not having Renee's body to enjoy.I started taking little. I knew I wanted to make love to her but wasn't sure how to go about it. I didn't want to push her or scare her in any way. She was strong on the outside but seemed very vulnerable on the inside.When I asked her about her love life she just laughed.
