Chapter 14: Courier

When the doorbell rang, Mary went to the entry and checked the viewer. It was a woman in a Federal Express uniform. Nude, Mary slipped on the robe she kept by the door and pressed the buzzer.

The woman walked up the path from the gate. She was good looking and red-headed. Her uniform had obviously been modified to fit her closely without appearing tight. Full breasts, narrow waist, slim hips. Her trousers followed shapely thighs. She had a lovely smile.

"Good Morning. Say, haven't I seen you at Still Waters?"

"Yes. I'm Mary. I spend a lot of time here, now. How are you? "

"Fine, thanks. This is for Mr. Chance. Will you sign for it? Number four."

"Sure. He's busy right now... Here you are."

"Thanks, see you again. Thanks for using Federal Express."

"Bye."

After the woman had closed the gate behind her, Mary hung up the robe and took the envelope to Ken.

"You had a look at the girl from Federal? She's a knockout."

"Yes, she is. Why?"

"I never paid her any attention when I was up at Still Waters. Today, she hit me like a club. Have you made a pass at her?"

"No. Not that I haven't thought of it."

"Mind if I do?"

"Okay, but do I get to play, too?"

"You bet."

"Good morning, Federal Express."

"Come on in," Mary said through the intercom and pressed the buzzer. She wrapped a towel loosely around her breasts and opened the door. The woman looked better than ever.

"Hi, what have you got today? And, do they let you tell your name?"

"I'm Iris. Just an envelope today. Sign here, please? Number two."

Mary took the pen Iris offered, and bent to sign the form. Her towel drooped deeply, exposing most of her side from her breast to her thigh.

"Sorry, just got out of the shower. Hope you don't mind."

"Not at all," Iris said, giving Mary a long and thorough inventory.

Mary straightened up, draped the towel over her arm. "Like the way your uniform fits. That's not standard issue, is it?"

Iris smiled. "Nope. Spent quite a while getting it just the way I like it. Here's your package. Thanks for using Federal Express. 'Bye."

"Good morning, Federal Express."

"Good morning, Iris, I heard your truck."

Iris walked through the buzzing gate with a package under her arm.

Mary opened the house door as soon as the gate closed. She was naked.

"Got a package for you, today, Iris. Here's the air waybill."

Iris took her time checking the form, looking Mary over carefully.

"What have you got for us, today?" Mary asked.

Iris hesitated, looked at Mary with an arch smile. "Uh... I need to have Mr. Chance sign for this one personally, Mary. Is he here, or should I come back later?"
