All rights reserved. I sat expectantly on the bed, waiting to hear the sound of Bethany climbing the stairs. Based on what she'd just told me down by the pool -- that she'd be up any minute to model lingerie for me and to give me my first blowjob -- my dick was an understandable steel rod in my shorts. Not that it was a particularly big rod, of course. After all, I was only 13, and anything but tall for my age. Yet so far, for whatever reason, my quite tall and busty neighbor, who happened to be a web model, seemed to be very interested in it ... or in me ... or both. As I waited, I wondered if I should just whip it out now, so that when she finally did arrive, it would be all ready to go. But before I had a chance to really consider this, I heard the sliding door downstairs slide open ... then shut. I heard the sound of heels clacking across the tile floor in the kitchen, which then became muffled when they hit the carpeting in the main hall. Closer the sound drew, down the main hall, up the stairs, another step, another step ... and then there she was, standing in the doorway. As always, the sight of her took my breath away. Bethany made a point of stopping in the entrance to her own bedroom, as if to pose. I could see now that the white high heels whose progress my ears had been following were in fact the ONLY piece of clothes she wore. The skimpy white dress that she'd stripped off before diving into the pool hung from one hand, while with the other arm, she leaned sensuously against the doorway, displaying the bright red fingernails I'd grown to love. Still wet from the swim, her long, firey red hair hung in loose curls that fell halfway down her back. Her long legs grew up out of the sexy white heels like smooth ivory beanstalks, joining at her mostly-shaven pussy, the hair of which was also a firey red. Around this, her hips curved healthily, especially in contrast to her very slim, very fit waist and torso. Like the hips, though, her chest was extremely healthy. Once more, I found myself transfixed by the sight of her massive 38DD breasts with their wide, dark pink nipples, the tips of which were the size of marbles. "See something you like?" Bethany asked. Only then did I pull my attention away from her amazing tits long enough to look up at her face. On top of everything else, she was quite beautiful, with soft features and vibrant green eyes that could launch far more than a thousand ships. She smirked seductively at me through bright red lipstick, and I felt my heart skip a beat. What had I done to deserve such a smile? "Do you even have to ask that any more?" I asked, half-blushing. "Oh, but it's so nice to hear the answer," Bethany said. She reached both hands up and braced them against the door jamb, supporting her weight on them as she leaned forward slightly, and set her melon-sized boobs to jiggling left and right. "Now be a good boy ... and answer me." "Y-yes," I said. "I do." "Do what?" Back and forth her tits went, like perfect fleshy pendulums. "I do see something I like," I said. "Oh? And what might that be?" She leaned back again, bringing her arms down, and stood tall, dropping the white dress in her hand to the floor. Slowly, gracefully, she began to cross the room toward me. "You," I replied. "I think ..." No, I thought -- keep it to yourself. Bethany stopped a few feet away from me. "Yes?" "You'll think it's stupid if I say it." She smiled. "But you'll never know for sure unless you do say it." "I think ... I mean, I might be ... in love with you." This brought a shine to Bethany's face that I hadn't seen before. One moment, it seemed as if she would smile, and the next, like she would cry. In the end, though, she broke out into a wide smile. "You are?" I just nodded, relieved that her reaction hadn't been to laugh. "Oh, Sammy. That's ... the sweetest thing I've heard in such a long time. Come give me a hug." As she held her arms open wide, I stood and went to her. With the heels on, our heights were different enough that her chest was more or less at my face level, so as I approached, it was as if her tits were a tractor beam pulling me in. They pressed warmly against my face as we hugged, and as Bethany ran her fingers through my short hair. One of her hard nipples kissed my cheek, and I wanted so badly to turn and put it in my mouth. "You can't imagine how happy you make me feel," she said. "Me too," I replied. "I've never been this happy ... ever." With this, Bethany pulled me just far enough away from her chest that she could lean her head down to kiss me. And kiss we did. A long, passionate, tongue-filled ecstasy, filled with more genuine feeling than a thousand words could ever have expressed. As we pulled our mouths apart again, her eyes were so heavy-lidded that they almost made her look half-asleep. "You," she said, "are an outstanding kisser." "I am?" Considering that she was the first girl I'd ever kissed, this was news to me. "Oh yes. You seem to be a natural." "You too," I told her. Bethany laughed a bit at this, as she slowly eased her body a step away from me. "Yes ... well. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't heard that before. But then again, when you've got a body like mine, it's amazing how low men's standards can be." She grabbed her boobs and gave them a squeeze. "A nice set of tits really lowers the bar." "Well ... I can't lie ... you do have a nice set," I said, blushing again. "I'm glad you approve." She smirked at me, then winked. "And now, if you don't mind, I need to jump in the shower. The chlorine in that pool will destroy my hair if I don't wash it out." "Oh. Okay." This wasn't what I'd expected to hear, but I decided to roll with the moment. Bethany kicked off her heels, then started toward the master bathroom on the other side of the room. I waited for her to invite me to join her ... but no invitation came. Still, she didn't shut the bathroom door behind her either. "I won't be more than a few minutes," she said, while reaching in to turn on the water. "I just need to rinse off." Then she slipped in past the shower curtain and disappeared from sight. Somewhat disappointed that I wasn't in the shower with her, I stood there, unsure of what to do with myself. Glancing down at the floor, I saw the white dress, and picked it up. With a quick glance toward the bathroom, I stepped out of line of sight of the shower, and brought the dress to my face, inhaling deeply. Just as I'd suspected, it was highly concentrated with the scent of both Bethany and her perfume. There'd been nothing between it and her skin all day ... and the day had certainly NOT been a cool one. For a moment, I fantasized about what it would be like to be one of her dresses. Before I could put much thought into it, though, the shower went quiet. I abruptly threw the dress onto the floor, before she could see that I was sniffing it and conclude I was a freak or something. I stepped back into the middle of the room, just in time to see the shower curtain slide away and a wet Bethany emerge from it. "Sammy," she said. "Will you be a sweetie and get me a towel from the linen closet in the hall?" "Sure thing." I jogged out to the hall, and grabbed one of only a few towels there. Apparently, if she owned more than these, she hadn't had time to unpack them yet. Then I jogged back to the bathroom with it. When I got there, Bethany was busy running her fingers through her long wet hair, shaking it around -- I assume to detangle it or something. Whatever the reason, though, it had the effect of shaking her tits around as well, which needless to say made me and my erection very happy. "Thanks, baby." She smiled appreciatively. "You're welcome." I tried to hand the towel to her, but she didn't take it. "You know," she said, "I thought maybe you could dry me off. "R-really?" I asked. "Of course. Unless you mind --" "No. I mean yes. I mean I don't mind at all." Bethany giggled. "Okay then. It's settled." With this, she opened her arms, and held them away from her body. "Dry away whenever you're ready." "Um. Okay." I stood there stupidly for a moment, with the towel in both hands, unsure of where to start. My first instinct was to go right for the chest, and since she was facing me, this prospect was all the more inviting. Instead, however, I aimed a bit lower, and began by rubbing the dry towel on her dripping wet belly. It was firm, betraying the exercise she must do to keep it so flat. As gently as I was rubbing the towel, it still served to jar her body from side to side, with the yet-again enticing result that her boobs jiggled before my eyes. Of course, by this point, there was no avoiding drying them as well. So having played coy this far, I just dove in. Even through the towel, her tits felt wonderful in my hands. Soft and inviting. I spent as much time as I could justify on them, then moved up to her shoulders and out to each of her arms. Then she turned around, and I rubbed the towel all the way down the smooth skin of her back, past her firm round ass, and down her legs to her feet. As I was drying her ankles from behind, her legs slightly spread, I got an outstanding close-up view of the mound of her barely furred pussy. Then she turned around again, and I worked my way up the legs from her feet back to her belly. Along the way, I got another close view of her pussy, this time from the front, and began to feel light-headed. Taking a deep breath, I stood. "All done." "Not quite," she said, grinning. "You forgot the bits and pieces." "The what?" I asked. "Here. I'll show you." Bethany took one of my hands in hers, then directed it downward, between her legs. Gently, she placed it on her pussy. "Now rub the towel in," she said. I rubbed it lightly at first, as if petting it. "No no," she added. "A bit harder than that. Really dig your finger into the groove." I did as I was told, and found the groove between her lips with my middle finger, pressing the towel into it. Bethany moaned slightly. "That's it. Now rub it." Again, I did as she said, rubbing slowly, and the effect was instantaneous. She let out another moan, louder this time, as her hand draped itself over my shoulder and dug its nails into my back. "Yessss ... like that." Then she pulled me forward while falling back at the same time, and I before I knew it, she was pressed against the wall. Her eyes were closed, and the expression on her face was a bit dreamy. Assuming that Bethany would tell me to stop when she wanted me to, I kept right on doing what I was doing. "Now ... drop the towel," she said, breathlessly. "Use just your hand." "Um. Okay." I dropped the wet towel on the floor. Naive as I might have been at that age, by this time, I realized full well that this was no longer about getting her dry. Little did I realize, though, that when my hand found her pussy again, it would be quite so wet. This was something I didn't remember learning in sex ed. Wet it was, though, and as a result, my finger slid easily into the groove between her now-engorged lips. "Ohhh, god ... yes," Bethany moaned. "That's it, baby. Find Mommy's hole." Wincing some at the grip of her nails in my back, I probed further with my hand, quickly found "the hole" she was referring to, and sunk my finger into it. Again, the effect was instantaneous. Her pussy was oozing by now, and a hunched-over Bethany was practically biting my back. "Now up," she said, "just a little. Find the --" But I'd already found it myself, without quite realizing what I was finding -- her clitoris -- which felt like nothing so much as a swollen and slippery nub. But as soon as my finger landed on it, I got my first lesson in just what a powerful button it was to push. In a split-second, her moaning went right off the scale, and transformed into a high-pitched "eeeeee" noise. Her thighs closed in around my hand and her body started to buck. Following my instincts, I continued to rub her clit for as long as I could until the grip of her thighs made it almost impossible. "St-stop," she said, through what almost sounded like a mix of laughter and tears. "Too much." "I'm sorry," I replied, quickly pulling my hand away. "No," Bethany said, pulling me into a tight hug. "Please don't ever be sorry for that. It felt great. It felt ... incredible. It was just ... sensory overload. I can only take so much." I thought back to the day before, when I'd had much the same reaction to her handjob, and this brought things into perspective for me. I smiled. "Oh. Okay, I get it. Like me yesterday." "Yes. Exactly." She grinned down at me. "Like that." "It was good for you then?" I asked. She nodded in a somewhat exaggerated manner. "Oh, yes. Very good." "Good," I said. "I want to make you feel as wonderful as you make me feel." "Such a darling, you are," Bethany replied, taking my face in both of her hands and kissing me hard. Once more, our tongues met, and intertwined. "Now," she said, "it's time for the lotion." "The lotion?" Bethany gestured around me, to the sink, where there was a huge bottle of skin lotion -- the kind with a plunger on top that squirts it into your hand. "I buy it by the gallons," she joked. "Oh," I said. "Where do you put it? On your hands?" She nodded. "My hands ... and my arms ... and my legs ... and ... everywhere else I have skin." "Everywhere?" I asked. "Everywhere. Why? Did you want to help with that too?" Was this a trick question? "Um. Sure. Of course." "Well then. Grab the bottle." With this, she winked at me, and slinked out into the bedroom. Holy shit, this is going to be good, I thought. It was going to be just like Jilly ... only better. * * * The summer before, when my best friend Kevin and his family had still been living in the house now owned by Bethany, a cousin of Kevin's named Jilly had come to visit for a couple of weeks. She was much older than us, in her early twenties, and normally lived out in California. She and Kevin's mother had always been very close, though, and so she apparently made at least one long trip East every year. While Kev's parents were off at work, she spent most of her time hanging out by the pool ... and Kev and I spent most of our time watching her. Jilly wasn't very tall, and not even especially pretty. She had a nose too big for her face, and often talked about how she planned to save enough money to get it fixed. While not what I'd call overweight, she also wasn't exactly slim either -- kind of thick all over, but still with an hourglass figure. Fortunately, this included a big chest, which explained our fascination with her ... especially whenever she had a bikini on. Many were the hours that Kevin and I would peer down from his bedroom window with binoculars or play Marco Polo over and over again in the pool while she was sunbathing. Afterward, I'd go home and jerk off, fantasizing about what it would be like to see her naked. For his part, Kevin claimed that he did see her topless several times during that couple of weeks. Once, when he "accidentally" walked into the bathroom after she'd stepped out of the shower, and twice more when he did the same as she was changing clothes in the guest room. He said he owed it all to the fact that his parents for some reason didn't believe in having locks on bedroom and bathroom doors -- in case there was ever a fire or something. My own closest encounter with Jilly, however, came on a day when Kevin wasn't home. It was a few weeks before school started, and his mother had taken the day off specifically so that she could cart him to some huge mall an hour away to go clothes shopping. He didn't know this until a few minutes after he woke up, however, and therefore neither did I. So when I arrived at his house late that morning, and nobody answered the doorbell, I didn't know what to think. I did the first thing that came to mind, and walked around to the back of the house. There, reclining in her usual lounge chair, was Jilly, wearing a somewhat skimpy two-piece bikini with a tropical print. She turned my way when she heard the gate squeak. "Hey, Sammy. Kevin's not here." "Oh. Where is he?" She explained, then said, "If you want to swim or something, go ahead. It's no big deal to me." "Thanks." I considered this, but wondered if it would be as easy to sneak peeks at her tits without the pretense of playing a pool game. Still, it was worth the try. "I guess I will." As always, I already had my swim trunks on under my shorts, so it was just a matter of stripping down before I was swim-ready. Once I did, I quickly jumped into the pool, before my rapidly growing erection had a chance to betray me. I swam a few laps up and down the pool, started to get bored, and quickly realized that it was going to be tricky indeed to make it look as if I was entertaining myself. While I gathered my thoughts for a new plan, I took a moment to rest, and placed my arms on the side of the pool closest to Jilly's chair. When I noticed that this put me only a foot or so from the water jet, I slowly moved myself to the left until I was directly in front of it. As both Kevin and I had done in the past -- although never with anybody sitting there -- I let the water blast against my crotch. It felt amazing on my erection, and all the moreso because I was able to stare at Jilly's bikini-clad tits. Her eyes were closed as she lay there patiently tanning, and I began to suspect that she might even be asleep. Several minutes passed, and I was on the verge of an orgasm when Jilly suddenly opened her eyes. Immediately, of course, I turned my own eyes away, and acted as if I'd been staring off into the trees. "Tired?" she asked, "or bored?" "A little of both," I replied, smiling awkwardly. My cock was nearly humming in my shorts, yet through sheer force of will and by moving my hips back a little, I was able to keep it from spewing. "Well, I have a project for you," she said. "You do?" I asked, perking up. "Yeah, I need some suntan lotion on my back. Do you mind?" "Um. Sure. Okay." As Jilly began to roll over onto her stomach, I realized that she meant for me to put lotion on her right now, and started to climb out of the pool. As I did, though, I became increasingly aware of my raging erection, and paused. Oh well, I thought, she has her back to me -- it's not like she'll see. Then I climbed the rest of the way out, and approached the lounge chair somewhat tentatively. "The lotion is there on the table," she said. Swallowing hard, I took the tube of lotion in hand, flipped the top, and squirted some on her back. "Wait," Jilly said. "Before you start, can you undo the string on my top?" "Um. Sure." Nervously, unable to believe my own luck, I reached down and tugged on the bikini's tie string. The knot gave way easily, and I pushed each end of it off to one side. Jilly then reached up and flattened it the rest of the way down, revealing to me the bulging side of one considerable breast. "Thanks. You can go ahead now." "Okay." I placed my hand on the warm pool of lotion I'd squirted out, and gently began to smooth it into the skin on her back. It quickly soaked in, however, and moments later, I found myself applying more. I started at her mid back, then worked my way down to her lower back, then up along her spine to her shoulder blades and the backs of her shoulders. All the while, my throbbing dick continued to hum with excitement as I stared at the portion of her boob that was revealed to me. When she didn't tell me to stop, I worked the lotion up to the back of her neck, then further up to the tops of her shoulders. When she still didn't tell me to stop, I decided to press my luck and let my slippery hand wander down to her sides -- further and further down. And then it happened. The anticipation and thrill of knowing that any second now -- unless she stopped me -- I was going to touch something I'd never touched before suddenly become more than my poor young dick could bear. At the very moment that my fingers brushed against the soft side of Jilly's left tit, my cock exploded. It was intense and awkward in a way that only an un-manipulated orgasm can be. For a few moments, I lost motor control, and quickly pulled my hand away, while waves of pleasure coursed through my groin and streams of cum emptied into my swim trunks. Still facing away from me, and seemingly unaware of what had just happened, Jilly said, "Thanks, Sammy. That's perfect." "You're very welcome," I replied. And without pressing my luck any further, I grabbed my clothes and scurried off for home. And up till now, that had been the best experience I'd ever had with lotion. * * * "Are you coming or not?" Bethany called from the other room. I shook myself out of my reverie, and grabbed the huge bottle of lotion. "Be right there." As I exited the bathroom, I saw Bethany sprawled on the bed sideways, grinning, one leg bent, giving me a clear view of her glistening pudenda. She patted the mattress with one hand. "Come to Mommy, baby." Smiling, I did as I was told. Before I could reach the bed, however, she asked me to stop. "This isn't fair," Bethany said. "You're wearing clothes and I'm not." "Oh. Um. Should I get undressed?" "Don't you want to?" she asked. "Sure. Of course. If you want me to." "Well, I want you to then. I want to see my boy naked." Bethany smiled. "Please?" "O-okay," I stammered, and set the lotion on the bed. Bethany leaned up, reclining on her elbows, and watched as I stripped off first my shoes and socks, then my t-shirt, and finally my shorts and underwear. My erection twanged playfully in the breeze. "Much better," she said, grinning wider than ever, and held out the bottle of lotion to me. "Now ... it's time to moisturize." I stepped forward and took the bottle from her. As I squeezed some into my hand, she teased at the underside of my balls with one of her red-painted toes. It felt great, but I didn't want to be distracted from my task. I grabbed the foot with one hand, and began to smooth lotion onto it with the other. "Starting from the bottom up, are you?" Bethany said. My slick hands moved to the other foot. "Is that okay?" "Oh, it's fine with me," she smiled, still reclining on her elbows, watching me. I squeezed out more lotion, and started on her calves. "You've got gentle hands," Bethany said. "Has anybody ever told you that?" She spread her legs just a bit as I progressed to her knees, and she seemed to shiver as I passed over the backs of them. "Not really." Arming myself with even more lotion, my hands found the tops of Bethany's firm thighs. By this point, I was leaning far enough forward that my dick sometimes brushed against her shins, and each time it did, a jolt of electricity went through me. It seemed as if I'd been hard for hours now. "Wait," she said, as I began to move higher. She took a moment to readjust herself on the bed properly, bringing her head to the pile of pillows. "There. Now why not just straddle my legs," she suggested. I climbed up onto the mattress, and planted my knees to either side of hers. "Like this?" I asked. "Yes, like that," Bethany replied, grinning. With her head inclined, she could certainly see my throbbing erection now, and made no bones about staring directly at it. "A much better view," she said. I blushed, slicked up my hands again, and continued where I'd left off. I rubbed lotion first on the outside of her upper thighs, then worked my way inward to the creamy flesh between them. I paused inches from her pussy lips, then -- armed with my recent memories of drying her off -- let my fingers plunge forward. "Oh, no no no," Bethany said, half giggling, closing her strong thighs around my hand. "If I let you start that again, we'll never get finished. Later, though. Definitely later." "Okay," I replied, and loosed my hand. I squeezed out more lotion and smoothed it onto her hips, then brought my hands together and rubbed them over her firm belly, into her belly button, and downward far enough to make her think I was going for her pussy again ... then stopped. I glanced up at her face and smiled. "Just kidding." While glancing up at her face, of course, I couldn't help but look at her massive tits as well. They were about as inviting as anything I'd ever seen in my entire life. I repositioned myself, so that I was now straddling her hips instead of her knees, and after fueling myself with more lotion, brought my hands to bear at the bottom of Bethany's rib cage. This was it, I thought to myself -- the golden moment. Upward, slowly, each of my hands slid over one her fantastic breasts. Up from the bottom, over the sides, over her marble-sized nipples, then back down again, between her cleavage. "Honey," Bethany said. "I don't think you understand just how valuable my boobs are to me. They're a big part of my career, after all. You really need to make sure you moisturize them as MUCH as is humanly possible." With this, she grabbed the bottle of lotion beside her, lifted it, and proceeded to squirt it onto her chest, over and over again, until it covered nearly half of the skin area. "Now be a good boy and rub that all in for me, would you?" "Y-yes, Mommy," I replied. It was official. I was truly in Heaven. I rubbed and fondled and squeezed Bethany sweet slippery tits for all they were worth, as she moaned in delight and sometimes joined her hands with mine. It was almost surreal. I knew I was really doing it, and I could feel the realness of her soft, perfect boobs under my fingers, but I didn't understand how this could possible be happening to me. How many times had I fantasized, how many times had I jerked off, thinking of a moment like this? Too many to count. Then, just as I began to believe the moment could get no more perfect, Bethany reached down between my arms and gently grabbed my cock. "Oh my," she said, teasingly. "This looks very dry to me." I had to remind myself to take a breath. "It ... does?" "Definitely. Maybe you could moisturize it with some of this extra lotion on my chest?" "Um. Sure." I scooped some of the lotion off of her tits, and began to reach down. "No, silly," Bethany said. "Not like that." Without warning, she grabbed my arms, and pulled me forward, while at the same time wriggling herself further down the bed. Before I knew it, my cock was poised directly between her amazing tits. "This is more of what I had in mind," she said. "Oh." Holy shit, I thought. "Um. Now what?" "Now baby," she replied, "you do what every good little boy who sees me on my website wants to do. You put your big hard cock between my tits ... and you fuck them. Here, I'll help ..." Bethany reached up and wrapped her soft breasts around my erection, her fingers digging into their flesh and her long red nails stark against her skin. "There," she said. "Now, just relax and do whatever feels natural to you." And I did. Slowly at first, I began to slide my steel rod between her slippery mounds. If not for the fact that Sasha had given me a blowjob earlier in the day, I'm sure I would have blown my load immediately. Still, though, even that didn't buy me much restraint. In and out, up and down, faster and faster, the sensation nothing short of incredible, I lasted for all of three or four minutes before I began to feel that familiar tingle. Then, suddenly, my thrusting became erratic, as the pressure built up in my balls. Before I even started to cum, though, Bethany released the grip on her tits, and instead reached up to grab my cock. Without missing a beat, she found my rhythm, and began to stroke the shaft with one hand, while the other cupped and fondled my balls. The resulting explosion was tremendous. Unable to control myself, and directed by Bethany's own hand, I blasted huge wads of milky cum not only across her tits, but onto her neck and her face as well. It was truly a sight to behold. Over and over, I painted a smiling Bethany with my hot jism. Like a thirsty child with a spray bottle, she even aimed my cock at her open mouth at one point and shot several jets of cum onto her inviting tongue, then swallowed it. Then she brought my tool back down again, and sprayed even more of it onto her chest. And just as I thought I was beginning to flag, the hand that was fondling my balls expertly found what in later years I would come to know was my prostate, and by applying pressure to it, seemed to urge another thirty seconds worth of cum out of me. In the end, though, teenager or not, prostate or not, I finally gave out. Once Bethany saw that I was spent, she loosed her hold on my cock. "Wow," she said. I took a moment to slide myself back, down her body, so that I could get a good look at what I'd just done. "Wow is right," I replied, almost wanting to laugh at what I saw, but restraing myself at only a smile. Bethany laughed. "I imagine I'm quite a sight," she said. This, of course, was an understatement. There were gobs of my sticky cum everywhere on her, from the chest up. "Sorry," I said. "Sorry for what? That's the best cum shower I've had in a long time." She glanced down at herself. "Look at all this sweet baby boy juice on me," she added, and used her hands to rub my slippery seed over her tits, concentrating it on her sensitive nipples. "I had no idea you could be so ... prolific." "Well. You kind of brought it out in me. You --" Just then, the most annoying thing in the world happened. The phone rang. Bethany glanced over at the bedside table, at the cordless phone with caller ID on the back of it. The number she saw there brought an odd expression to her face. "Sorry, sweetie. I have to get this one." Taking a moment to wipe her hand on one of the pillows first, she reached out and grabbed the phone. "Hello?" Pause. "Yes, Mom, I know it's you. ... Because your name shows up." She looked at me, and rolled her eyes. After another long pause, she said, "What do you mean she's gone? ... Well, maybe she just went somewhere else. Are you sure she didn't leave a note or something? ... I'm sure she's fine. She's a big girl, she can take care of herself. ... Look, I'd agree with you, if not for the fact that this isn't the first time she's done this kind of thing. She always pops up again. ... I understand, Mom. ... Yes, I know. ... I know. ... Look, Mom, I'm kind of in the middle of something here. Can I call you back later on? ... I know. ... Yes, I will. ... I will, Mom. I'm going now. ... Okay. ... Okay. ... Love you too." Shaking her head, Bethany hung up the phone. "Is everything all right?" I asked. "Yeah. My daughter apparently isn't where she's supposed to be." "Oh?" I tried not to look guilty as sin as I climbed down off the bed. Of course, I knew exactly where Sasha was -- or at least where she'd been a few hours ago. But I'd sworn myself to secrecy. "Where is she?" Bethany shook her head. "I'm sure I don't know. She's always been kind of a handful. That's why I let her stay with my mother. She seems to have better luck at keeping control of her. Usually." "Are you worried?" I asked, starting to put my clothes on. "Not really. She'll show up. She's probably just being dramatic. Staying at a friend's house or something. Letting my mother get all excited." While sitting on the edge of the bed, Bethany looked down at herself ... and laughed. "Well. I guess it's time to take another shower," she said. Again, I said I was sorry, but only half meant it. "Should I stay and --" "No no no," she replied. "Thanks for the gesture. But you need to get home for dinner.
