Martin looked very smart, in his Tuxedo, but Ian looked very suave, and incredibly sexy.Ian bought the drinks, and guided us into Ballroom. At our tab...le, Ian manoeuvred himself into the seat, next to mine.During the evening, he kept everyone entertained, with some very dirty jokes and stories. I hadn’t laughed so much, for a long time. He kept my glass topped up and every time I picked up a cigarette he lit it, for me. At one stage his lips brushed against my ear. He whispered, “I love watching. “If you try to cover your bottom, I will make your spanking twice as long.”He didn’t give her time to answer before the first swat landed. She jumped and hollered. She clenched her bottom hard and her eyes screwed shut. The second swat landed straight across on the other cheek. He spanked all over her bottom and thighs. By now, she had begun to cry. The tears ran down her nose and dropped onto the floor.Now he reached down and spanked the insides of her thighs. This caused her to howl and cry. "I'm not here to seduce you, you moron." she said wrinkling her nose, "For a start, you smell like a fucking sewer."I stood up and reached for a robe that was hanging over a chair."Don't put that on," she said quietly, "Or it'll stink as bad as you do."I sat down again and gathered my wits."Are there any cigarettes?" Sure, over there above the fire." Yeah, but I just happen to be naked." So do without, then." Fuck you." I snarled and she giggled as I walked across the room, stark naked and lit. But right now, all I wanted was for Bryce to leave. Leave the store.Leave my life. Forever."It's our baby," he said."No, it's MY baby," I said in quick return. "You don't get to throw theabortion card out there then act like you give a shit about it. I wantyou out of here. Now."Just then, a voice chimed in from behind me."You should listen to her."It was Mark, who'd finally emerged from behind the Genius Bar to helpdeal with this escalating situation. Only, looking at his face, I fearedhe would.
