She and I had been friends for several years and there was always this attraction that was too obvious to ignore. Both of us acknowledged this mutual ...interest but we never really took it much further than the occasional get together with some fairly heavy kissing. For one reason or another we just never took the plunge, never took our clothes off beyond my shirt lying on the floor, never went beyond a heavy petting session. We had expressed our interest and mutual frustration numerous times. " Hey Lefty! Is Tommy choking the chicken again?"Lefty reached across the space between the bunks and yanked Tommy's blanket off. "If he is, he don't got a woodie." Are you disappointed, Lefty? Do you want to see me with a woodie?" You callin' me queer, city boy?" Lefty stood up, but Tommy's bunk-mate Jimmy smacked him on the head. "Knock if off. Tommy's in love." Will you two can it?" Tommy complained. "You guys have your pin-up girls. I like this picture. I used to deliver papers to the guy. " There were huge sighs of relief on our end.That's all we needed to know. I was about to break the transmission when Chanah asked, "How much extra time did you have?" None at all, less than two minutes," Dalis replied, and with a quick nod between us we broke the link.Dodi and Michal looked puzzled, my other wives looked terrified. "Two minutes?" whispered Abigail. "The Holy! We came that close to utter doom?!"It had been a busy day for all of us. We retired to bed right after the conference.. What next? “I suppose you know why you’re here, don’t you?” Jeffrey Duncan was 60 and checking out vacation homes in the Hamptons and in Costa Rica. He was on his 3 rd , or was it 4th , marriage and was currently shopping for the next ex-wife. Apparently he bored easily. “No. I have a lot on my plate today so if you don’t mind, Jeff, cut to the chase.” I was just as tired as he was. The past year had been brutal but we’d managed to cut costs, increase revenues and even won an award or two.
