My wife wouldn’t miss me as she was out on a cruise with her sister. We had five days to play with each other. I turned off the engines of my car a...nd saw Lynne step into the garage from her house. I got out, and she closed the garage door. She walked over to me. I gave her a light kiss on her lips. She smiled. We embraced each other, and we kissed, and it turned passionate. There was one thing I loved about Lynne, and that is her smile. It always brightened up my day at work when the day was. "Gary, we haven't eaten yet, have you?" No, I was getting ready to when Cruz came over and ..." Great! Great! Would you like to eat with us?" Sure! That'd be awesome!" Wonderful! Let's go, I'm starving. Coming, Gretchen?" I am kinda hungry."Gary hopped up and pulled Gretchen's chair away as she stood up. Shesmiled at him, looking ever so slightly up at his eyes. I was right,just about an inch or so taller than her. Good."You guys go on ahead. I'll be right behind you."As Gary and Gretchen. I announced I was tired and going to take a taxi to the hotel. With that, I walked out alone. Of course, Pale Red was maybe 15 paces behind me.Getting in the backseat of the taxi with me, it turned out we were in the same hotel which was 25 minutes away. I arched my back and pressed my hip and shoulder into him. I turn my head and we start making out- hungry, demanding yet soft, deep kisses as his arms come around me. I was such a whore, with the freedom of anonymity and relative privacy.. She wasn't concerned about how much the men witnessed. Her assessment was that when those men saw Paul Elias' good fortune, it would give them hope for their own futures.Probably, she was absolutely right. If Paul, legless and jobless, could score a babe like Lois Silverthorn, well, Hell -- maybe anything was possible!Eight days later, Paul Elias, loaded down with instructions, prescriptions, appointments for follow-up medical treatments -- and parting kisses from Ophelia Parker and the other.
