He looked at me quizzically. "I know your opinions on strict heterosexuals or homosexuals, Ken, but I'll let you know, I have never, ever met a fem who scares me as much or turns me on as much as a mel." I shrugged.

You can, especially since you're an unknown to her, but it's not likely to be advantageous. You're biggest problem is you're afraid of breaking her. Plus, as Vatare', much as I hate to say it, you've got some things to live up to." I nodded. He pointed out towards the field, where Ally had managed to steal second. "Look at her. She probably weighs more than you do. She's fast and she's strong. I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'd recommend going with the basic 'the bottom is never right' routine."

She's also one of the few people who can, with clarity, explain the dichotomy between SM and the discipline of the Fleet or Military mind. But aside from that, I'm looking at Ally's ears from here, and a lot of things are bothering me." There was a pause. "In the years she was with Cedza, she never once had her ears, or any other part of her, pierced. Her ears are obviously one of her most treasured possessions. |
