La Belle et la Bête - (see OOC thread)

[Dirtydave1974]

The driver rammed his erection into Nara. With each hand he held the soft flesh about her hips. Her face was planted on the bed, hidden beneath a mass of red hair that spread out over her back and across the bed. She was thrusting her buttock back into his crotch in time with his.

Her cries of pleasure filled the room mingling his own grunts. The Driver could feel the tingling and heat building about his crotch. He was not far from his release. In that moment the animal was returned to it’s cage and his ladies training took over.

He was close, but so was she. Good. He renewed his movements, ignoring the stitch forming at the top of his belly. Her cries were increasing in pitch, with each movement of his hips. So too was the heat in his own privates. He needed to cum. He wanted to cum so badly. But he had to time it.

At last Nara reached crescendo and lost herself in her orgasm. A split second later the Driver pulled out from her and stroke his penis once, twice before spilling his seed onto her lower back and buttocks. His orgasm overcame him and it was like he was soaring through the air on some great wind. Leaving his body and this place behind him.

He collapsed onto the bed next to her. His chest heaving from the exertion. She was staring at him wide eyed, and confused.

“My mistress would be displeased if I left you with child,” he said. His arm snaked it’s way under her face, and pulled her body into an embrace.

Nara shuttered in pleasure as she felt him reach his own release. She wasn’t entirely sure what was on her back, but the sound of his moans made the pit of her swirl delightfully. So heady was her afterglow that she didn’t fully hear him when he spoke of the implication of his seed inside of her.

When he pulled her near him she sighed contentedly. He was covered in a sheen of sweat and she strangely couldn’t care less. Her hand moved up to his chest and caressed it, feeling comfort in his embrace. She was beginning to feel a little sore but chose to ignore it.

“Did I…did I do ok?” she asked, not entirely sure if she had performed as she should have. “Should I…should I bath you?”

 

[Sweetp4u]

Luna

Blank eyes stared off for the longest time, fingers venturing down to rub at night gown and crotch as the tingle were still there from watching the Driver and red headed lady through the peep hole. She should had stayed, should have enjoyed the vision through the hole to earn her own release. Instead, she was here trying to make conversation with a man she barely knew.

What were her duties tomorrow?

A good question, she had not thought to visit the Lady Dragoi and ask, as it was rumored the lady of the house was occupied with a new play thing. She could imagine what was going on across the castle at this very moment, quite clearly too.

Why was she not given permissions as the others were? Why was she not permitted to play with those in residence here at Dragoi? She would have to ask, someone. Perhaps her father knew the reasons for it?

Those blue eyes lift and studied her father carefully. Clean, neat and tidy. Proper and respectable. Truth be told, he frightened her a little. But she barely knew the man who was supposedly her Father. She saw no resemblance between them, she was fair and blonde with blue eyes and quite pretty. He was grey, older and quiet. Her mother was much like her, but her mother was a rather loose woman with fake morals that prevented the woman from enjoying life. Where Luna, well.. Chaste didn't come to mind, to say the least.

"I am sure it is much the same as it is every day." A non-answer to his question, but she had not the faintest idea what was in store for her on the morrow.

Perhaps her father was more than he seemed? Could not understand how this proper butler managed to get her mother into any bed, let alone out of all those layers of clothing to make a baby? Idle fingers tugged and toyed at night gown and bare flesh beneath as she hung to the chair. Was her father like the driver? Perhaps they were a lot alike? Still she could not imagine her father doing those things.

"Am I your only bastard, Father?" She ventured to ask, not too curious about siblings but more so if her father really did fornicate!

 

[Dirtydave1974]

“Did I…did I do ok?” she asked,

The Driver stared into her green eyes, searching them.

“It was very pleasurable, my pet. There is still much that you are yet to learn. Other pleasures to enjoy. But your training has only begun.” The Driver ran his fingers over her arm and then against the soft curve of her breast. “I will instruct you in many of these arts, but you will have other instructors as well. For there are pleasures that only a woman can teach another woman. But we will visit this in good time. For now, I have enjoyed you very much. Your choice to be my pet has further pleased me in ways you cannot even imagine.“

The Driver lay back ready to fall asleep. It had been a long day.

“Should I…should I bath you?”

He sat up. Yes, a bath would be very pleasing. He nodded his assent and climbed out of bed, dressed and waited for her to prepare herself. Once she was ready they both walked barefoot through empty corridors. In and out of doorways and down a flight of stairs. The corridors were colder than the rose room, and the lighting gave them a very gothic feel.

The Driver was reminded of something, a decision he had already made about Nara. Something that would bind her further to him. He must remember to retrieve it.

“What of you? Was your experience enjoyable?”

He listened as she talked, until they arrived at the servants bathing room. The bath was filled, but the water was cold.
“Heat the water, my pet. Please be ready for my return. I shan’t be long.”
Without waiting for an answer, he turned on his heel and left her.

He strode through the hall to the door leading back outside. The frigid air bit into his skin and it had started to rain. The Driver pulled his coat around him and hurried barefoot across the grounds to his own quarters. He opened the door and rushed inside. His feet felt like ice, and he longed to rub them to get the feeling back. But he was eager to return to his red haired pet.

The stable boy had lit a candle for him. It was still burning, but now in a puddle of wax.

He searched through his cupboard until he found what he was looking for. A small leather strap, with a small hook at one end and a ring attached to the other, In the centre of the strap were two tiny golden bells which chimed cheerfully when he picked it up. He wrapped his fist around the strap and left his quarters.
He moved back across the ground and returned inside the castle.
He made his way to the bathing room, wincing with every step.

 

[scarlettnuit]

Nara blushed hotly as he told her that he would not be the only one to instruct her. The thought of another woman touching her, that she would be touching another woman, the thought was strange and foreign, but she did not want to upset him and thus said nothing. His words of praise made her glow, though why something so animalistic and simple could cause her any sense of joy went beyond her understanding. She had run away from home to escape the possession of one man, only to give into the possession of another. Perhaps it was all a matter of choice and perspective.

She drew her attention back to him as he spoke of a bath. As he got up and dressed, she picked up her discarded gown and put it on, not bothering to lace it and, instead, simply let it hang from her shoulders loosely. She followed him through the dark and drafty corridors, their bare feet barely making a sound as they padded through the halls.

She had been lost in the silent of their journey that when he spoke, she jumped slightly. Such a question coming from a man was a bit of a shock for her. However, the more she thought about it, for some reason, she supposed it would only be a shock if it had come from someone else.

She blushed hotly and thought about how to respond when they reached the bathing room. She tried not to smile like a simple girl but was unable to hide it. “I found it…quite satisfactory.” She told him, though her words were just the tip of the iceberg. To say she had been lost in a swirl of joyous ecstasy wouldn’t have been proper…would it?

He left her in the room and she began to heat the water as instructed. Before long she had the tub filled with hot steaming water. She suddenly heard a slight jingling and turned to see the Driver walking back into the bathing room.

“You look frozen to the core!” she exclaimed softly and began to undress him. Before he had a chance to argue she sat him on the side of the tub and rubbed his icy feel. Once they seemed to have some feeling back in them she ordered him into the tub, giving him no choice. Once he was in, she closed the door and let her dress drop to the floor.

She waited until he was resting comfortably and then picked up a sponge and began to clean him. She washed as the sweat and dirt from his labors washed away, revealing an even more handsome man than she had previously seen.

“Would you like me to wash your hair?” she asked, as she moved to do so.

 

[Dirtydave1974]

His clothes and the leather strap were left forgotten on the side of the bath.

The water burned his skin as he slipped into the tub. But it only took a few moments for his body to acclimatise to the hot water. His eyes were fixed on Nara’s naked body as she slipped into the large bath with him.

She ran the soap over his chest, his arms, his back and his legs. Each movement felt like the most intimate of caresses. He closed his eyes as her soft hand moved over his body. No one had ever bathed the driver like this before. Never before had anyone pampered him in this way. He lost himself in the intimacy and tenderness of her touch.

The combination of soap and flesh upon his skin was more than erotic. It was sensual. He lost himself in it, like going into a trance.

“Would you like me to wash your hair?”

Her voice woke him from the moment. But he nodded eagerly. He moved through the tub, positioning himself so that she was behind him, and had access to his scalp. When she moved towards him he could feel the softness of her breasts against his back.

Her finger moved through his hair, massaging his scalp. Every movement was a delight. If her previous attention was sensual then this was heavenly. The Driver let out a soft moan as Nara worked his scalp. He had never known that having a woman do this could be so pleasurable, so arousing.

 

[scarlettnuit]

She happily moved behind him and used a small pitcher that was nearby to wet his hair. She was a bit nervous that she would do something uncouth, but decided to do what would be pleasurable for her to him. It seemed to be working thus far.

She took a small bottle of cleansing soap and poured a little into her hand. She then worked it into a lather on his head, making sure to massage and scrub his scalp, anything to hear the delicious sounds of his voice moaning. She had never really thought bathing to be an erotic act before, she supposed this was because she had never bathed with a man before.

She used the pitcher to rinse his hair, using the soft sponge to wipe away and suds from his forehead. She bit her bottom lip for a moment in contemplation of what to do next. She felt excited again, as he had made her in the Rose room and she wasn’t sure if she were allowed to make any moves. After a few moments of contemplation, she slowly reached down between his legs and began to stroke him.

“How is this Master?” she whispered in his ear as her other hand ran up and down his chest slowly from behind.

 

[Dirtydave1974]

The driver felt his pets hand snake around him. Without permission, Nara began to tug gently on his penis. Each movement of her hand caused him to swell and increase in girth. The driver relished her every movement as she returned him to erection.

“How is this Master?” Her hot breath tickled his ear, complementing the titilating movements between his legs.

His own breath quickened and he grunted and moaned in response to the pleasure that was building and sweeping through his body. His hands gripped her legs and he leaned back into her.

"You.. You... Should have...." But her hand was too much for him. "Permission.. Oh god..."

Bartholomew

.

Bartholomew was making the hot chocolate, aware that Luna his daughter was catching him. He turned to face her, her light night shirt suggestive of her small but pert uplifting breasts.

"Am I your only bastard, Father?"

"Luna.... Please do not use that term.... You know who both your parents are, though yes we were never in wedlock..."

He paused as he stirred the hot drink before turning to look at his daughter again.

"But to answer your question, not that I am aware off..... but why did you ask?"

He met her lovely blue eyes, her blonde hair scrunched into a pony tail, as she sat on a arm chair in his room, which doubled up into a 'living' room for them both.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Luna

This made her brows furrow together as she tried to figure out what bothered him about the simple truth?

"Well as you were never married, I AM a bastard." The word slipped effortlessly from her lips once more, almost in a manner most daring for him to react to it.

"I was told this many times, I will never marry a man of any station in life due to the low born circumstance of my parentage." Her smile widened, "But do not fret over such. It was a brothel for me or here, I think this is a much better ending to my mother's embarrassment.. Don't you?"

"and I only ask because I just can not picture my father being a father." She leaned a bit forward then to peer into the mug on the table, wondering if it were dirty or not? "Perhaps the good Lady will permit me to attend one of her parties some day.. When, of course, I have earned such privy." The orgies were something whispered about for entire years after one happened at Castle Dragoi.. it was, after all, how she came about.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

Bartholomew ignored her bait as he poured two cups of chocolate, pouring the hot liquid into two pewter tankards.

He offered Luna one and placed it on the wooden table in front of her as he faced her. listening to her little rant.

She was attractive, and had often wondered why His good Lady had not taken advantage of Luna.

"Perhaps the good Lady will permit me to attend one of her parties some day.. When, of course, I have earned such privy."

Bartholomew raised his eyebrows at his daughter's confession. She was pretty, attractive and quite intelligent, street wise. But he had never thought of her in a sexual mannner - in as far as Luna having her own needs.

He had spoken to her at great lengths when she was younger, but as her hormones kicked in, and her body developed, he had in part chosen to ignore her changes.

He suspected she wasn't a virgin, but until now they had barely spoken abut sex since she started menstruating, since she started to turn into a woman.

But of course like himself, and their good lady, every one has sexual desires...

He listened to her, and studied her eyes, trying to work out what she was thinking, wanting.

"Well Luna, I suspect that because you are my daughter, she has chosen not to seduce you; to corrupt you.... But would you like to be considered, seriously?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Luna

"Considered?" She had to think on this a moment, not quite clear to her when sex became something one had to audition for? "I am not so certain that I would want to entertain a lady." her nose scrunched up a bit at that thought.

"I do not find that thought appealing, but I have never given it much thought." her hand took the offered mug, not quite certain she wanted hot liquid chocolate but he had made it for her and there for, she would not be rude.

"Thank you." A small smile lift, a shy one as she darted her eyes to him and away. Again she looked at her father, studied him. He seemed stern at worst, kind at best but really very.. old! Certainly not that old, she had seen and been fondled by older men.

It must be her boredom making her think such silly thoughts.

She sipped rather loudly at the hot liquid, lost in her own thoughts before her mouth burst open once more and continued to ramble. "Men have better hands than girls." large groping hands.. Was a bit warm for chocolate, wasn't it?

"Mrs. Pembersham says that men are vile creatures.." A painting that hung in the west wing. "While the expression on her face would curdle milk alone.." again her mind wandered, trying to picture such a crow like thin woman as even remotely attractive. "No, I do not think I would enjoy the company of a girl at all.. Lacking vital parts and what have you.." No penis!

"Tomorrow shall I do your mending?" The subject shift just that quickly, nude crowish women forgotten.

 

[CFMB_fan]

Bartholomew

.


"Yes - considered...." her father repeating that word. "The Lady's orgies are generally by invite only."

He raised an eyebrow when she bought up the topic of same sex sex.

"I remember my fist bi experience Luna, it was spontaneous, and seemed natural at the time. When you have a number of sexual open people in a room with wine; anything is possible..."

He smiled and grinned at her hand comment. "well yes I guess our hands are larger, more suited for groping and the kneading of breasts...." as he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at his daughter's breasts.

"Well there are some men who are vile creatures, as there are females who are also vile. But if you are attracted to an individual, physically or mentally, why exclude them just because of their sex?"

His cock was starting to respond to the topic, talking, thinking about sex lways got Bartholomew hot under the collar, though now in his night shirt, he was cool and relaxed.

"And thank you Luna for offering to repair my clothing tomorrow...."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Luna

She really had no remarks at all to say to what she just heard her upright father just said to her.

"I..." Well .. damn. She drank more of the warm liquid, not really tasting it as she felt her face blush a little but her curiosity was getting the better of her. Perhaps she needed to sleep and... take care of her bodily urges lest she really start saying something she shouldn't to her father.

"It is late, I should retire." She hopped from the chair, nearly empty cup in hand. "Would you like me to carry your mug to the kitchen before I go?"

Her father, had sex with both sexes! And she thought HE was uptight? Now that was an image to carry about in her head. She almost opened her mouth and asked her if it was the Driver or someone else in the castle? Theeeen.... thought better of it!

She'd ask someone else!

Her smile grew brighter with her train of thought. She could ask around about her father's deviousness! That way he wouldn't know what she was asking and hearing, learning.. "I do not mind tending to your clothing, I do darn rather well.." She had few skills, clothing was one of them. Especially when one torn them off and tore them off others. It was best to learn quickly how to mend any tears or seam rips lest one become angry at the damages.

"I do think a recommend would be nice." She left it at that, saying no more as visions of perverted nude acts filtered through her mind.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.


Bartholomew grinned at his daughters look of shock at his revelation, his confession.

He watched her stand

"I do think a recommend would be nice."

"And before you ask, it wasn't here at the castle... it was a wild orgy Luna... but I will speak to the good lady and see what I can do about getting you an invite..."

Bartholomew stood as well finishing his hot chocolate..

"I'll take the cups back tomorrow morning Luna..."

He reached out and took the cup from her hand, his fingers touching hers briefly

 

[scarlettnuit]

She bit her bottom lip when she felt his hands grip her legs. There was something about the rough strength in them that made her sigh. She continued to explore different ways to move her hand around him, feeling some strange need to please him.

Hearing his moans made her throb between her legs. The warm water of the bath had eased her soreness from earlier, though she wasn’t sure she could handle another penetration. She instead focused on him and kissed and bit his neck and shoulders gently.

“I like pleasing you.” She whispered into his ear as she started to stroke him faster. “Tell me how you want to be touched.”

 

[Dirtydave1974]

The driver stretched his leg out as her small hand hammered up and down his pole. Each breath escaped with a moan from his mouth. His hips rocked involuntarily to her attentions.

“I like pleasing you.” She whispered into his ear as she started to stroke him faster. “Tell me how you want to be touched.”

He turned his head taking her lips with his own. His kiss with filled with lust and his tongue fenced and jousted with Nara's. He sucked on each of her lips for a few moments, enjoying her. But then his placed his hand over her wrist and stopped her.

He stood up in the bath and turned to face her, his erection jutting slightly above horizontal. It swayed at the whim of gravity in front of Nara's face, before the Driver knelt and positioned his penis between her breasts. The Driver took Nara's hands and placed them either side of her soft pillows.

"Massage it, my pet."

 

[scarlettnuit]

She moaned softly at his kiss, the taste of him made her nearly dizzy. He pulled away and was kneeling before her. For a moment she had thought that she had done something wrong until it was made evident what he wished her to do.

She thought it an odd thing to do, but then again, she wasn’t entirely sure what normal was. She bit her bottom lip for a moment and then wrapped her breasts around his cock and began to move up and down on his shaft with them.

“Like this master?” she asked, taking a moment to look over his features before her eyes trailed down the rest of his body. “You have such an effect on me…” she confessed.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Luna

"As you will, Sir." Her smile was quick and bright, relinquishing the mug to his hand as she stepped back a bit. "Peaceful rest, Father." Her curtsy was prompt and half-assed but it was cold standing on the stones.

She vanished quickly to her small quarters and hopped onto the bed, under the blankets and blew out the small candle lamp all within a few seconds of saying good night. Rest would do her some good, or at least warm her up.

Not entirely forgotten, that rose room and happenings but she fell into sleep rather quickly, dreaming of orgies.

 

[papillon24]

"watch him, watch how I touch him and witness his desire to please me as he responds as he should."

Her eyes watched as Alina stroked him, playing him. A gentle touch led her to kneel next to him and she could feel the head of his body radiate against her skin, as if beckoning her towards him. She longed to touch him, but knew he was not hers to do so. His eyes widening as his struggle to withhold grew to be more of a struggle. She could see the panic in his eyes and it was maddening to just watch. She could not imagine what was running though his mind as he had to endure the sweet torture.

"Your prince was a stallion in bed, and he too craved you so, yet it is not allowed.."

She felt Alina come close, leaning into her to whisper the secret of her time with the Prince. The heat from her breath tickled her ear and send small goose flesh shiver up her neck. A small gasp rose from her lips as she learned the truth. She felt strangely arouse and yet a bit betrayed that Lady Alina had taken her prince to her bed. A moment stolen from her. A desire she had kindled for so long. This woman had had her moment.

"Learn from me." Her hand was pulled away from where she had rested them in her lap, pulling her from her thoughts and from her jealousy. She soon found her hand wrapped around his straining manhood. Her eyes widened, as she had never done such a thing. Instinctually she wanted to pull away but knew she would suffer punishment if she were to disobey the wishes of her lady.

"Gentle, coax his body to respond to your touch, milk his cock." Slowly and hesitantly she began to mover her delicate hand up along his flesh. She could feel it pulse and twitch in her grasp. Kiraz could feel the heat rise within her, but it was not the heat of embarrassment. It was that of wanting and long for something, and yet she did not know for what. She could not describe the feeling that rose within her as she brought her hand from base to tip, slowly, exploring every ridge and detail.

She watches as a clear drop of fluid formed at the tip. Lady Alina spoke to her, luring her in with the sound of her voice. Soon that clear drop was resting on her tongue. A soft hand came to rest on her cheek, puller her attention from the act she was performing to the stunning set of eyes. Soon lips came pressing hungrily at her mouth almost drawing a breath from her lungs. Her mind swirled as the description of what was to come. The words barely made sense. Kiraz tried to hold on to as much composure as possible.

As sudden as the kiss started it finished and a cool space opened up beside her as Lady Alina moved back to her newest acquisition. The count continued as she stole a kiss from his as well, focusing on his with such a gaze to almost make Kiraz jealous of the boy.

She continued to gently stroke him as she watched the two of them. Her lips felt empty for a moment.

"It is late.. Let go of his cock. Kiraz, you will report here after you've finished your morning chores, where you and Nicolae will bath from the day's labors. Then I will give lessons to both you and Nicolae on the aspects of love. Training in pleasure, if you will.."

Kiraz had released him, backing away slowly. The temptation to touch him more was too great. The desire to be touched again was even greater.

"Yes Lady Alina." She stood and took a step back. "All I have in the morning is the market, and I will return after that.

She watched as the boy made his way to the pallet on the floor an her lady to the luxurious bed. She bowed her head gently and slipped from the room and back down to her quarters.

 

[Dirtydave1974]

Nara's body moved up and down. Her two breasts embraced his erection. The head of his penis would peek up at her, only to hide away a moment later. He rocked his hips in time to her movements. The sensation was not as pleasurable as her hands, or her being inside her. But the visual of her bosom wrapped around him, and the kinkiness of the act were their own reward.

After a minute of this, he pulled away and gave her instructions on how he wanted her to please him with her mouth and hands.

"Because this is your first time I will not climax in your mouth, but we may explore that on another night. When I am ready I will let you knows before I share my seed across your bosom."

 

[scarlettnuit]

She was hesitant at first but slowly lowered her head to do as he asked. She squinted her eyes closed, as if expecting an unpleasant taste, but as her tongue grazed his head, she found it to be not unpleasant at all. She slowly lowered her mouth lower on him and sucked gently, her tongue brushing the head of his cock with every pull up. She looked up at him, feeling a bit foolish, but trying to do as she was commanded.

 

[CFMB_fan]

The following Day - Bartholomew.

.


Bartholomew watched his daughter leave, her breast outline disappearing from view as she turned to leave the room.

Moments later, he too was in bed, cock in hand as he thought of his failed attempt at black mail, but he had been successful enough for hm to be an opportunist

He was vaguely aware of the goings on in the castle, but his thoughts concentrated on Kiraz, and unusually Luna, as a result of their chat, he desire to be involved in an orgy...

He woke early as usual, the sound of the chickens in the yard filling the room. He stood up, and restarted the fire, the ashes still warm. Less than thirty minutes later he was in the kitchen boiling water for the household to awake; supported by a lone kitchen hand.

 

[Dirtydave1974]

The world around them melted away to be replaced only by the warm sensation of the water and her touch. Her movements were timid, unsure. She was eager to please, but held back either because of inexperience and a fear of making a mistake.

But she was providing more than just physical pleasure, for the first time in years the physical delight that accompanied sex was joined with a deep sense of satisfaction.

There had been others, the lady Allina seemed to have an inexhaustible line of women, and occasionally men that were eager to be pleased. They came in different shapes and sizes. Some beautiful, some ugly, some plump, others rakishly thin, but all had belonged to Allina. Sometimes their needs were specific, other times they just needed a good fucking.

Few walked away dissatisfied, but they all shared a simple truth. They would have preferred to be with her. But not Nara.

Her lips and tongue bobbed back and forth, as her shy, green eyes stared up into his. Each movement was pleasure itself, building a new fire that raged and burned through his body.

"Gods woman, what are you doing to me?" He moaned.

Her hand had done it's job too well. Now her lips and tongue were heightening his passion. She moved back and forth driving him closer and closer. The familiar tingle started in his balls and he pulled out of her mouth before shooting his cream over her chest. He cried out her name as his orgasm overtook him, and then he slowly sank back into the warm water. His chest rising and falling in shallow breaths.

 

[scarlettnuit]

She was shocked at first as he pulled away from her and his seed landed on her chest. The exquisite look of pleasure made her heart race. She rinsed off her chest and then moved to lay on top of him in the warm water. She was confused about some of it but something about their time together made her feel incredibly close to him. It frightened her a little give that they had just met. She wondered if she was setting herself up for a grand hurt, but she decided to ponder this later. The eminent pain that might come from her actions was obvious, and for now, she wanted to bask in the warmth of their passion.

“I don’t know, to be perfectly honest.” She said sweetly in regard to him asking her about what she was doing to him, not realizing, in her innocence, that it was a rhetorical question.

She rested her head on his shoulder for a moment, enjoying the heat of his slick hard body against her soft one. She kissed his neck and then bit her lip a moment. She wasn’t sure if she was supposed to do anything and so decided to enjoy the moment and try not to think.

“I suppose I could ask you what you are doing to me.” She said and then took a slightly ragged breath. “I suppose you think me a low woman for allowing you to…you know, so soon. It was something I hadn’t even conceived…there was…it something about you, I can’t comprehend it.”
