Stephanie looked so beautiful, sleeping there bound with a white latex hood encasing most of her head. Both her ankles and wrists were bound together ...with leather cuffs and she had a white leather collar locked around her slender neck. For a moment, Jeff hated to wake her, but he needed to get her ready before he went off to the restaurant to meet with Michelle.Stephanie awoke as she felt the stranger climbing into bed with her and unfastening the leash from her collar. She had prayed that she. I tried to keep it down so the security guard and the maintenance guy would not hear but I told him that I was sorry and I knew it was hard on him.

Ilse had once told me that Bram and Naomi had never been to the beach before or had even seen the sea other than on television.I surprised all three of them by showing up on Monday morning and taking them all with me to the coast on the other side of the country.
