Melissa slowly stepped past Marcie. As she reached the door, she heard an odd noise and turned her head. Marcie sat with her legs splayed wide over th...e seat of her chair. Her back was to Melissa, but it was clear that she had one of her hands between her legs, moving softly. Faint, wet sounds came to Melissa's ears.Confused, Melissa let herself into Laura Bendon's office.The chestnut-haired woman behind the desk smiled and gestured to an empty chair. "Miss Hendell, I presume? Please, close the. "She smiled. "You can overdo anything, Tom. Like you and me."We were a little ways away from everyone else, she had pitched her voice low."Sue Ellen, it was good. But..." Yeah," she said with emphasis."Friends, though, right?" I told her.She reached out, and grabbed my arm with both hands, and twisted hard. "You better be!" Uncle!" I called, "I promise!"I went back to Elizabeth, who had put her nose in a book almost the instant I'd gotten up. Tony saw her mark her place and smile at me when I. I kissed her closed eyes, then the nose and paused a little with my lips touching her. It was not a kiss, but rather I made my lips slightly in contact with hers.She lifted her head trying to kiss me, but I took my head back teasingly. This happened twice, just then she opened her eyes, stared at me and gripped her fist over my hair. I smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. This time she was more fierce and bit my lips hard as punishment for teasing her.Meanwhile I undid her bra while kissing. There are enough women around this house, distracting you." Oh, woe is me, alack and alas, the life of a working man is never done. Stop laughing wench, this is serious, I'm feeling crook because I'm going to be a father; this morning sickness is the pits. It's okay for you, you've done this all before and it's like riding a bike. I don't care if it's three thirty in the afternoon, it's my tummy that's sick, not my watch."Gae went from a ball of nerves, worrying herself sick, to laughing.
