Ho, ho, ho! Meerrrryyyy Christmas! Due to the gentle encouragement of several readers, I have posted another chapter. (those who were whining and chastising, well, you get to benefit from those of your colleagues, who were measured and encouraging in their manner. Ho, Ho, HO!)
To be fair, this one does not really have any smut within. It moves things along, plot-wise, a bit, and sets things up for Chapter 4. In Chapter 4, there is excitement, and some sex (not much). This story winds up being around 5 chapters, all told (so to speak...), and I see it concluding in 2 weeks. That is, chapter 4 the end of this week, and Chapter 5 the end of next week.
So, thank you all for reading, and Merry Christmas to you all.
