She stared at him. Slowly a smiledawned. “You did?” she asked breathlessly and then frowned. “Idon’t remember …. What did I say?”
“You said you wanted me tothoroughly court you,” he responded with a wicked chuckle, sweepingher off her feet and carrying her to bed.
Marilyn certainly wasn’t againstsealing the deal in the bed, but she had one caveat. “We aren’tmarried yet.”
“We are well and trulymated, however. You cannot back out now. I have thoroughly bredyou.”
The End.
