He would be taking me out to dinner. I smiled wickedly to myself as I appraised each piece he has bought for me. A truly beautiful matching white lace bra and thong, a very short caramel suede skirt laced down both sides, a very sheer white silk shirt that I could tell already would leave nothing for the imagination but classy in every way. I took my time in the huge roman bath, careful to pamper and prepare

    I still remember when I was seven years old and how my grandpa would come visit my grandma once or twice a week. I would be so happy to see him because he would always call me over and sit me down next to him so that we could watch the history channel together. We would sit there for hours and watch documentaries on everything imaginable. One documentary that I will never forget is one that we watched that was talking about how the Romans built the Colosseum and their aqueducts. That was when I first realized that I liked designing and how I liked seeing how buildings were designed and built.…
