Charlie and I checked out of the resort and spent a number of hours in Bear. I bought a brand new gown and became it earlier than heading again to Sweetclover. The gown was blue with brief sleeves and hugged my curves. As I walked out of the dressing room Charlie eyes moved down my physique. He gave me a glance that mentioned he wished me. On the drive again, we talked and loved our time collectively. The nearer we acquired to the town, the extra actuality was setting in. I must return to work and cope with Eddie. I attempted to disregard the sensation but it surely was exhausting. We pulled up exterior of my condo within the early afternoon. Charlie walked me to the door.

By the point I completed preparing and had a fast chew to eat it was virtually time to go. I modified purses to a small bag and ensured that I had a few sleep potions in my purse.

His hand was grabbing at my physique. Panic set in. I kneed him within the groin. Eddie launched his maintain on me as he backed away from me bent in half.
