p class="MsoNormal"Chapter 40 span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span- Jane's Flat/p
p class="MsoNormal"Jane sat in the middle of the floor, surrounded by pieces of something she was putting style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe radio in the corner played Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together.'span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Outside of her London flat, rain poured in the night style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe hummed along to the song and looked at the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""This makes no sense."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe heard a knock at the door./p
p class="MsoNormal"She carried the instructions over to the door and opened style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHer face lit up when she saw it was Lance standing style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Hello, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou didn't have to pop right style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI know you are a busy guy."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance shook his head and leaned down to kiss her lips style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Not at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou saved me from John and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAll of my thanks."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She giggled and invited him into her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe closed the door and rubbed his hands style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"And your text said you had met your style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHow can I help?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She groaned and shook her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI just can't think style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI bought this desk, and I can't figure out how to put it style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm usually fine with this sort of thing."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance took the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"'Brusali Desk from IKEA.'span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat language is this?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Exactly."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I always thought a Brusali was something you style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, apparently not."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"She turned and walked away from style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe laughed at how frustrated she had style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""I took everything out of the box and it's just style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI swear, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm not an idiot. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can usually do this on my own. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI feel bad asking you over here for this."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He shook his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanTell you style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou open a bottle of wine for us, and I'll get this sorted."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Jane nodded, "You don't have to tell me style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm ready to chuck that thing out of the damn window."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He laughed, took off his jacket, and tossed it on the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"It would be my duty to tell you that's not a wise move."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She groaned at his teasing and walked into the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe stood on a chair to reach two wine glasses in the top of the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSeeing how dusty they were, she felt style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe quickly washed them off under the tap and dried style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThen she looked around for something to open the wine bottle style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Gosh, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou are never this style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPull it together!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAye, aye, aye!"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe quietly told herself./p
p class="MsoNormal"Then she remembered where she had put the bottle style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe opened the drawer and after searching through the million things that she found in there, and questioning why they were there, she found style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Ah!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYes!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanMagnífico!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She opened the wine and poured two style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe carried them back into the sitting room where Lance sat in the floor, putting the finishing touches on the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe nearly dropped the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Was I in there that long?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance looked back at her and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"No. This didn't take style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt was rather simple."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sat in the floor next to him and sipped her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Says style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI couldn't figure those directions out."/p
p class="MsoNormal""That was step style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanToss them out."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe sat back and pat the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"All style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat else did you buy?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""That was style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can't believe you have already put that together."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe handed him the wine./p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I enjoyed style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThank you for letting me style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanCheers."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She giggled as they clanged their glasses together and took a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAs he sipped his wine, he noticed she was wearing a pair of jeans and brown tank top with a jumper pulled over style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHer hair was pulled into a braid that went down her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe didn't think he had ever seen a more beautiful creature./p
p class="MsoNormal"He stood up and looked style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"So, this is your place?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"It was a modest flat with a lot of natural style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe walls where painted a light blue and there was a bright red rug on the floor in front of the white, leather style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanA small telly sat in the corner with books sitting in front of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe radio sat on a shelf and played a song, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled and stood style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe studio is just through those style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, this is the side where I actually style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI wanted a desk so I would be able to do some work in here."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He sat down his wine glass and looked style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIs that where you want it?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe pointed to a spot that looked bare under a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled, " style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'll help you take-"/p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's light."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe insisted and carried it over to the place she had pointed style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe sat it down and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou can watch it rain style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat do you think?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Thank you so much, Lance."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"He returned her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"You are most welcome."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She walked over to the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Can you stay a bit?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanOr do you need to go back to work?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""John will tell me if he needs style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can stay."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sat down and sipped her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'd enjoy the company if you don't mind."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He walked over and sat down next to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'm happy to be here."/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Gosh. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPlease don't think I'm an idiot, Lance-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I don' style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanDon't think that about style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou said you haven't been able to think today?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sipped her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Oh, it's just been one of those style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI had these….screaming infants in my studio this morning. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanOh, they wound me up. I couldn't get anything of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanTwins. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanNothing made them happy."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance watched her as she style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanJust style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI thought of your poor mother with style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanGosh, how did she do it?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled, "We were style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanLike Arles."/p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanRight."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He shrugged his shoulders, "That's the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI don't style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPlus….she had….help."/p
p class="MsoNormal""With four, I hope it was a lot of help."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance nodded his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"It would fill a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanA complete style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe was style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, she was always style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can't remember a moment when I had to ask for her."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Jane looked back at him and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"She sounds remarkable."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He sipped his wine, and rubbed her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Arles had to get it from style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanRight?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She giggled, "I style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIs she still….."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He continued to rub her thigh, " style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe's been gone for a long style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSo, after the madness of the twins, did it get better?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She groaned, " style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAnd I managed to end the day with a really cross old style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI wonder why I got into this business."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I'm sure you got some lovely shots."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Of the old lady?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI could probably win awards with some of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAlthough, she won't be happy with style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt was so…ugh."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He could sense something was style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"What did she say?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanDid something happen?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sighed and sat down her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I….shouldn't even give it another style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, oh…she was just….mean."/p
p class="MsoNormal""What happened?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""She….was very excited to get her photo style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanKept telling me how happy she was that I was here to help her and such."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Yeah."/p
p class="MsoNormal""And then she realized I was the photographer, and not an style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe suddenly didn't want anything to do with style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe couldn't have gotten out of here style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanOh, it was terrible."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Why would she be that way?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""She's one of these….'Britain is for the British' style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou know?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He took her hand in style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'm sorry."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She fought back style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I've never experienced style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe was very cruel with what she said to me."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He took her in his arms and held style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"You've already given this woman too much of your thought."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She let him hold her, "You are right."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"He kissed her forehead, "What did you say to her?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sat up and shook her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I didn't know what to say."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He pointed at her, "Because you aren't like style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou didn't react to her insensitivity because you know there is nothing worse than bitterness, jealously, and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt is the thing that begins so many problems that will hurt so style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou kept your dignity and were true to yourself."/p
p class="MsoNormal""What an odd thing for a bodyguard to say."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He chuckled, "It is something all of us style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWe've seen style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHave loses from style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou did the right thing, even if you don't feel like it style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanTrust style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThis is something, I do know a little bit style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's something everyone struggles style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhen to draw that line."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sat up and shook her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'm style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm not going to spoil our evening with this. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAnyway, I saw you on the telly."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He chuckled, "Yeah, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYour telly is covered up with books."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She rolled her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat one is style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe one in the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou were at a winery in Napa?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled, " style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI couldn't understand anything the woman there was style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanTony said she was….ummm….Itish?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Irish, maybe?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""That sounds style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYes."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"She took his drink away from style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"How many have you had, Lance?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""What?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanDo you think that I am drunk?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Everyone in the world knows where Ireland style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanOr at least how to say it."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanUmm…."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""Maybe you just had a few?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He decided to go with that style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI probably need to stop."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She nodded, " style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou know, you can tell me whatever this is, Lance."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He sighed and propped his arm up on the sofa behind style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe couldn't help undressing her with his eyes./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Lance?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe put her hand on his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"He looked down at it and cleared his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"So, did you have anyone today that didn't drive you mad?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She propped her feet up under her and sipped her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanA lovely couple who needed passport style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThey were so nice, and going to Japan."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe teased him, "Which you have never heard of."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He laughed, "Of course I have."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Where is it?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""It's an island style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThey have great hamburgers there."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Hamburgers?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI've had style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPete Tyler's favorite hamburger place is style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm sure."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She shook her head and held out her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhatever, tell me about this winery."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He shook his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"There's not much to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt was just a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanJohn, Tony and the ladies ate and such."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I heard Mr. Stark's style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's amazing for Miss Potts."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Oh!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYes!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI had forgotten about that."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I've always thought they would be adorable style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAlthough, he doesn't seem like everyone thinks he is."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled, "How do you mean?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""He is polite-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Tony?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""He seems that way."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance laughed, "Tony is a good style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, I wouldn't say style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe was teasing me about having to drain the hot tub today."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Her eyes got style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Does he know about that?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I'm an idiot and I told him this style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI won't tell you what he said."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She covered her face, "Oh my God."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I don't understand why that thing doesn't have style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI mean…is that normal?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""For a hot tub?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI have no style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's the first one I've ever been in."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Well…. style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'll have to look at it and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanOh, and guess where I ended up tonight?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Where?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""South style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanUmm… hang style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPeru."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled, "Peru?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhy?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""It was a thing… style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanJohn had to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's….involved."/p
p class="MsoNormal""And classified, I bet."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanJane insisted./p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI probably shouldn't have told you that's where we went."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled, "I won't say style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI promise to forget it in five minutes."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He chuckled, "Five minutes, huh?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""That was close to where I'm style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat did you think?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""It was hot."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou know, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI don't style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhere are you from?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Umm….well…..not really anywhere."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Everyone is from someplace."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe reasoned./p
p class="MsoNormal""Well, they style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBut, my father, was a bodyguard like me and the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSo, we were always with him, other bodyguards, or our mother until we left for the Academy."/p
p class="MsoNormal""The Academy."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe repeated and sipped her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"That sounds….like a grand institution the way you say it."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He nodded, "Oh, it is."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Where is it?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He opened his mouth and couldn't find style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Well….that's style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThere is no name where it is."/p
p class="MsoNormal""What?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanLance, that's mad."/p
p class="MsoNormal""You know, it style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI've never thought about that until style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanUgh."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Peru, huh?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's where they have those lines on top of the mountains."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled and returned to rubbing her thigh, "Why are they there?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Some say it's giving instructions to people who visit this style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanMaybe directions to someplace."/p
p class="MsoNormal""And if you were making those lines, what instructions would you give to someone who isn't from this planet?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's a good question, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI suppose I would tell them to be style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanPeople here are style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanLike that stupid, old lady."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He rose his finger to make a point, "That you aren't going to think of anymore."/p
p class="MsoNormal""She can't even get on with style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm from here!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He smiled, "I see your style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou know, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI need to tell you something, I just…don't know how you will react to it."/p
p class="MsoNormal""You're not married are you?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI have never been married."/p
p class="MsoNormal"His bracelet beeped and he looked at the message on his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe watched as he closed his eyes and seemed to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe sat down her wine glass and leaned over to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe kissed his lips and felt his surprised style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe looked at her in shock and she style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""What are you doing, Lance?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe whispered./p
p class="MsoNormal"He grabbed her quickly and kissed style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe took off her jumper and tossed it to the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe was kissing her neck when his phone rang in his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe stopped and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'm sorry about this."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled and whispered, "It's alright."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He pulled the phone out of his pocket and put it to his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Hey."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She sat in his lap and licked his other style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe closed his eyes tightly and held her bum with his one free hand, "Yeah, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanNo. I'm not going."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She stood on her knees and took off her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanLance quietly style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe giggled at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""Ummm…. I'm sorry, what?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe asked Lewis./p
p class="MsoNormal"He looked back at her and ran his hand across her beautiful face, and down her chest./p
p class="MsoNormal"" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe's here."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She silently caught his lips with hers and kissed him./p
p class="MsoNormal""No, I'm not going to let you do that!"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe told Lewis./p
p class="MsoNormal""What does he want?"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe whispered./p
p class="MsoNormal""To speak to you."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled and took the phone from style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Hola, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat can I do for you?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance was lost looking at her breasts which her bra formed style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHis hands couldn't help but cup them style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""Yeah? How long do you think you'll be gone?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance ran his hands up and down her sides and kissed her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe grinned at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"That's very sweet, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThank style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHave a safe style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe's just here."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She handed him the phone and started to kiss his neck and ear style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"So, you're gone?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanArles is what?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanNo, if he's sleeping, just let him style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'll watch him, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's the reason I style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanGo and tell Licis to come see his nephew style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSend my regards to Summus and the Queen."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe ended by saying something in a strange language and ending the call./p
p class="MsoNormal"He laid his head on the back of the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I'm sorry. I need to go back style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanMy nephew needs me."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She rose her eyebrows at him, "A Queen?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"There's always a Queen in my conversations."/p
