The moment I had been waiting for finally happened. I waited five years for a kiss. But it wasn't just any old kiss. It was from Mr. Bates himself. I have never felt anything more sweet in my life. His lips tasted so wonderful like nothing I've tasted before. I can't stand not being married to him yet. I'd do anything for Mr. Bates. If I have to, I am willing to be his mistress and love him if that means we get to be together. I will do anything for that man. I love him so incredibly much. When will he be mine?
