You have started a good thing."I wept for many heartbeats, and then told him of Katherine's trials and my involvement in her travels, then the story o...f our dancer.He nodded, then explained himself. "I had heard some of your story and that of your women. That they are fierce and would fight for you speaks well of you. If you keep your spirit open to others the crones will pile good fortune upon you, yet you must not sway in your head nor heart. The way of a true chief is of the heart. A blessing. . Emma North was gay!” she looked at me incredulously, “You didn’t?” “No, I didn’t even if she wasn’t gay then... I’m thinking my batting average sucks.

That night I told the boss I wouldn’t be in for a few days, Natalie had agreed to do the same. Saturday morning while the sun began to show over the horizon, I threw some clothes in a bag, grabbed my two person tent, got in my car and drove to Natalie’s place.

Nothing else mattered.This time all she wanted to do was to play cards.Since the weather was dull, cloudy and windy, we stepped into my small room together with a deck of cards. My eyes were drawn to Karen’s ass as I showed her in. Underneath the mini skirt I could see a pair of saggy panties hanging down. I remember.
