She reached up and tilted my lips to hers, kissing me softly, our tongues dancing teasingly together before she broke the kiss, whispering, ‘I’ll ...be right back, lover.’ She rose up and turned to walk out of the room. Without moving, I kept one eye on her, watching the way her luscious body moved in the moonlight as she walked into the bathroom. The door closed and I heard water running and almost of its own accord, my eye closed and I relaxed. I heard the door open and opened one eye again to. When Connie laid down with her head in Ted's lap and he affectionately stroked her hair, they could all read Cy's look. "We're not a couple or anything," Connie said. "At home, I could never do anything like this with my brothers. I like Ted and I feel comfortable with him. Now, I can show it."Just before they broke up, Cy could not help asking "Don't they really mind if we stay up like this?" The way I heard it explained is this," Ted answered. "The philosophy here is that we manage everything. And I'll want yoursucker print on the documents when I draw them up tomorrow," the Queentold her. She looked at me, and with joy in her voice said, "I wasafraid we would never be needing this little crown. Come forward,Daughter."Her throne was so tall that I didn't have to try the kneeling thingagain but just hovered in front of it, a bit lower than her, as she heldthe tiara over my head with both hands and gave a speech making mepromise TO ABIDE BY AND UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THE QUEENDOM OF. I don't want to hear that."She put her cheek on my chest. She asked softly, "Are you mad at me? I really hadn't planned this. I knew it could happen, and I longed for it to happen again, but I don't know what to say."I pulled her up my body and kissed her. "Angry, not hardly; crazy maybe, but not mad. You have to know what you do to me. I don't think I'll be able to hide the way I feel about you. I can't disguise it. I'll be so obvious, and I don't want to lose you or make you have to make that.
