And as had become the routine, his hands went directly for his wife's belly. Laying there stroking her caused Stephen to quickly become erect. Even th...ough he then started kissing her inflated middle, Paige did not awaken immediately. Instead, it was Stephen's father who came out of sleep next. He saw what his son was doing and joined in."She's really beautiful, isn't she?" Paul said quietly as he kissed one side of Paige's belly."Gorgeous! Just gorgeous!" Stephen replied as he kissed the other. She's twenty eight now, and still runs around like a teeny bopper on a Friday night. She needs to start taking better care of herself, now that she's past her prime." Past her prime?", Terry chuckled, "Look who's calling the kettle black, you tasty tidbit. What's this I hear about you getting involved in a domestic dispute the other night?" Domestic dispute, my ass!", she exclaimed, "That crazy pimp bastard was about to cut that poor girl something bad - didn't leave me much choice." So you. .. years ago. I've no work contacts any more, I've been looking after Dad full time for a couple of years. No-one comes out this way, except the Vicar ... once a year. We're not members, but he tries to visit all his parishioners at least once a year. We're neither of us ... we're neither of us really ... churchy people."Well, that seemed to leave the ball firmly in my court. I was, you might say, painfully aware of the woman in my arms. I reminded myself she'd just been bereaved, there was no. There was laundry and dusting and polishing, sweeping and mopping, vacuuming. Occasionally they would have company over the night before and on those days there was always some extra work to do. Still, she had heard so many complaints from the other girls she worked with about the horrible, nasty homes they had to look after and she thanked her lucky stars every day that she didn't have to deal with anything like that.They were an older, middle-aged couple, who still made a handsome picture.
