O-O-o A little about me. Blondie wasn’t my real name, but everyone who mattered had pretty much taken to calling me that. Up until this summer, I’...d looked like a kid. I’d done some growing up lately. I’d finally grown tits, at least and, while I was still the shortest girl in my class, I’d put on a few since May. Gotten a couple of scars too, which made me feel bad, you know? Like I was some kick ass ninja girl, ready to take on the world. Back in those days, I’d take on pretty much anyone.. Mahmoud gagged me with a cloth while the other tied my hands and feet to the arms and legs of the chair.“I warned you, Elijah. You will be untied after the Armityges have finished given their reasons for handing you over to me.” Eloise turned to Lillian, “and why do you hate Elijah Greenaway?”“Jack Greenaway took my maidenhead by raping me; he debauched and degraded me, and when his animal lust had been satisfied he sold me to a brothel!”I strained ineffectually at my bonds and tried, without. David came almost immediately afterward, unable to pull out due to Heather squeezing him tight as a vise.“What about me?” Amber’s brother Devin griped.“Look, sport, we’ll have that talk ... it was bound to happen, sooner or later. We have ... much to discuss. But as you can see, Heather and I have no secrets from each other,” I reassured my stepson as I put on some boxers.“Anymore,” Heather snickered, making David and Adriana chuckle as well.My wife, on the other hand, didn’t bother to get. That left me with Rachel, who turned out to be an engaging companion for the evening.I had admired her career from afar through the business journals, and was delighted to find her as sharp in person as I had imagined her to be. She was one of the rare CEO's who valued the investment the company made in its people, and had become quite creative in finding ways to deal with hard times that didn't involve laying people off. About two thirds of Rachel's employees were cross-trained in at least one.
