    Please, don’t do it.  I am practically begging you. I don’t think my body can take anymore of this. My core is entirely submerged and I fear that if I accept anymore, I will surely rupture.  My space is engulfed with the liquid that you are so intent on suffocating me with.

I don’t want to start all over again. I like it here.”Leanne, just shy of 36 years old, was fit and naturally beautiful. A single mother to Jamie. She had her when she was just 19 in a small town in Iowa. The two of them were never in one place for long. Leanne was a police officer and it required her to relocate every two years - mostly when life was getting comfortable for Jamie. Leanne joined the police academy when ...sgJone door
