That said, it wasn't like there was no reaction from Kat and Laz. Kat was showing a little red on her cheeks with the blush extending down to her chest. That might have been caused by more than just the kiss however since Laz had gotten a bit stiff during the exchange and therefore caused a bit of perverted rubbing to take place. Not that either of them could help it.
After a few minutes of deep breaths and trying to regain their calm, Laz finally spoke up.
"How long was I down there for?"
"Mmm, I would say about 10 minutes," Kat thought and responded.
"THAT LONG?" Laz would have thought that impossible if someone had told him it happened.
Number 2 for the week. There might be 4 this week as I'm not sure I will get out any during the beginning of next week. Anyway, I can't say how many chapters are left, but we are actually nearing the end of the first volume. And what a crazy end it will be. The second volume should be a bit faster paced with more action, so stay tuned.
