Maria Pavlova, Part 12
"Now," she said, "I can tell you're a bit disappointed that I'm wearing white panties today, but that doesn't mean you can't have any fun. It's just that you'll have to do it yourself, OK?"
[I asked her what she meant.]
"Just use your hands to stroke yourself to show me what you're feeling as you listen to the story now, OK?"
[Again, I wanted to protest, but looking at her, I was unable to protest and eventually I just nodded weakly.]
"Very good," she said in a sing-song voice, "Now, here's what happened next..."
[Again I beg the reader to remember that Maria was intentionally using "you" in her narrative to refer to her husband, Tom Swift. I now was sure she was telling the story in this way to intentionally confuse me, so I hope it does not confuse you!]
