hand, Tess seemed confused by the twins.  She told me afterward that in her dream Ally was not handicapped.  Her dreams make me uneasy.  She seems to know everybody without us telling her about them.  Jessie sat by her not saying anything.  Tiny and Nancy finally went home with the promise of coming back today to help out with lunch and dinner.  I noticed Tess never looked at Tiny.  They took Devan and Elizabeth with them.  Patches fell asleep on the couch.  Tess was up until one thirty.  She told me she usually sleeps in the day and is brought out at night.  I don't want to know this fuckin shit but she needs to get it out.  I'll take what I have to for her.  She stirs, I tighten my arm around her and she sucks in a breath.  "It's just me pretty Tess."
    She relaxes against me.  "A man is going to hurt you the only way he can."  Fuckin dreams again?
    "How?" I ask.
    "Through your family.  It's hot when he does."  She stops.
    "Can you tell me anything else?"
    "You always get your way.  He's going to take it away from you."  She's not clarifying here.  If anything I'm more confused.  "Patches will hurt too."  Fuck!
    "If you think of something else can you tell me?"
    "Yes."  She sits up looking at my crotch.  She reaches toward my dick.
    I grab her hand and hold it.  Fuck my dick jumps.  I put my other hand on her cheek moving her eyes away from my fuckin dick.  "You don't have to do that anymore."  I see Patches at the door.  "Being free means you give your body when you want to, not when someone else tells you to or expects you to.  If you want to thank people you use words to tell them, no one expects you to use your body.  When you give your body it should come from here."  I touch her heart.  "It should mean something in your heart." 
    Patches comes in sitting beside us.  "Tess, I want you to promise me you won't pay people by using your body.  I want you to promise no sex for three months.  We'll see how you adapt in your new life and talk about it in three months.  You have to learn how special you are and what a gift it is when you decide to give yourself to someone else."
    "Even you?"  She asks her eyebrows scrunched up.
    I laugh, "Especially us.  We want you.  Don't think that's not there, it will always be there.  You have to understand what you're giving us first.  It's important that you know how special that is.  We have time; we'll give you all that you need to get your head straight."
    She nods.  "Thank you.  I promise no sex for three months until I understand.  I don't understand now though."  She makes Patches laugh.
    "That's why you need the time."  He hugs her to him.  "If anyone makes you uncomfortable or asks for something you're not ready to give, you tell me, Kate or Rich."  She nods and Patches smiles at me.
    Fuckin hell, no sex for at least three months.  We hear the kids at the door.  I sit up so my dick isn't obvious.  They jump on the bed with us.  Tess laughs.  It sounds musical, her head thrown back, blonde hair trailing down her arched back, she’s fuckin beautiful.  That’s why they kept her so long.  Patches looks at me with a smile.  I get up and start breakfast.  The kids stay with Tess and Patches.  Since I'm fuckin hard again I'm glad they stay in there.
    Anita calls me, I'm surprised as fuck.  "Kate asked me to pick up Tess and get her some clothes and lingerie."  Fuck!  Not the fuckin picture I needed.
    "What time do you want that to happen?"  I ask trying to calm my fuckin raging hard on.
    "I'll pick her up at eleven.  I'll have her back by one."  She's smiling, I can hear it.
    "She'll be ready.  Patches will go along."  I tell her.
    "He doesn't need to, I can manage."  She's sounds put out now.
    "She was a slave, ate like a dog, slept on the floor, never had clothes.  Patches will be with her.  She trusts him and he'll make sure she doesn't lose it in the middle of a crowd for the first time since she's been
