Rachel Markham’s exhausted breathing was slow and deep. She lay on her back in the damp bed, sweaty arm draped over her closed eyes, her raised knees shut tight with heels drawn back toward her ass. In the warm, aromatic loft bedroom she listened to “Roses from the South,” an 1880 waltz composed by legendary Vienna-born Johann Strauss II. The waltz was often played by the Vienna Philharmonic at the annual world famous New Year’s Day Concert that was broadcast around the world.
She heard the rustle of clothing, the ragged sound of a zipper and approaching footsteps muffled by thick carpeting. A deep, unhappy sigh sounded.
Rachel peeked out from under her arm at the husky, broad shouldered figure standing beside the bed with hands in pockets. Her bull Nate, GentlemanNate, looked down at her with a sad, unhappy frown. His sports jacket hung open and a tie was draped over his shoulder.
“You sure about this?” he asked in a surprisingly quiet voice. Normally his voice was firm and commanding as he was.
“We talked about this,” she replied.
“Yeah, but, are you sure you won’t change your mind?”
Rachel moved her arm to her forehead.
“Sweetie, like I said, I need a few months to focus on me, Burt, and Europe. Once I’m on track, well…” Her voice trailed off and she smiled.
She opened her knees and winced; globs of come leaked out of her sore pussy and ass. Nate smiled with self-satisfaction. She frowned, then a small, lusty smirk appeared on her face…
