I put on casual clothes and went back downstairs. I was about ready to make myself a drink when the phone rang. A woman whose voice was not familiar w...as on the line. “Sam, this is Valerie from the Pussycat Escort Agency. A friend of yours who wants you to have a very merry Christmas has asked me to send two of our most spectacular ladies to your home this evening. I am calling to say that I have reserved two truly delightful girls for you. They will be with you within the hour. I know that you. I was talking to the boys and I learned they were all nine years old and were powder monkeys, their names were Adan, Dario, Ernesto, Apolinar, Josue and Silvio. Three were born in Cartagena and the rest were born in Spain. They thought it was 1765 or around there because they had been sailing the ocean here for the last six months.Katia came onboard, and went below with Dorian. I offered to help, and they told me to stay where I was. They just wanted to explore this strange ship, before we sent. “Motherfucking, crack smoking, cock sucking, piece of fucking shit! God fucking damn it! Why’d I even fucking go in and check?”James just gave a wry smile. “Well, you wouldn’t have been able to avoid checking your spirit realm now and then.

If I’m not wrong, you developed greed?”Skay just gave a nod. “The moment I touched it I felt my need for knowledge multiply by an entire magnitude. It was like. “Don’t worry, I’ve a damned good idea what I’m giving up and no doubt I’ll have a few moments of regret, now being one of them.”I turned down a second glass of wine, a nice Sancerre, but I had to drive and besides, I had another eight bottles of the wine at home. We chatted about the usual mundane stuff for half an hour before I headed home.That kiss haunted me for the rest of the weekend. It was as if my body was telling me what an idiot it thought I was, other than that it was just a normal.
