A Sekkushiaru Roman
featuring characters from the anime "Sailor Moon"> Chapter 53 - After the Fight <
Mamoru set Usagi down on their bed, then reached down to remove her shoes and socks. His hands ran slowly up along her legs, sliding her skirt up as he went.
"Mamo-chan," she sighed, luxuriating in his loving caress.
"Yes, Usako?" he asked.
"I love you," she whispered, as he began to pull down her skirt.
"I love you," he said softly, dropping her skirt to the floor, then leaning up to kiss her lips. "You are the most beautiful young woman."
She smiled as he turned his attention to unbuttoning her blouse. "You are the most wonderful man."
"And all yours," he added.
She nodded, grinning happily. "That's the part I like the most."
He smiled at her happiness, and ran a hand softly over her abdomen. "And this?" he asked.
"Oh, yes," she sighed. "Carrying our child just makes everything perfect. I'm so glad everything has worked out the way it has."
He slipped his fingers into her panties and eased them down, slowly exposing the thin golden downy covering of her pubic mound. In just a moment, he slid her panties off over her feet, and tossed them aside.
She sat up and removed her blouse, then reached back to unclasp her bra.
He moved back up alongside his now completely naked future bride, still amazed at how incredibly beautiful she was, and knowing that he loved her more than anything.
"I think you're rather overdressed, Mamo-chan," she said softly, with a grin, again beginning to feel the arousal he had always been able to stir in her.
He nodded. "I was getting to that, my love."
She watched with anticipation as he kicked off his shoes, then slowly began to slide his shirt up. He smiled at her, turning away from her, still going very slowly. "Oh Mamo-chan, you're cruel," she sighed.
He chuckled softly, finally tossing the shirt away. "I thought anticipation made it all the more sweet."
"You're already so incredibly sweet, my prince," she said.
With a smile, he leaned down to kiss her, letting his tongue gently slip across her lips. "I'm glad you think so." He stepped back slowly, then reached down to pull off one sock.
"Mamo-chan," she groaned. Even though she was tired after their battle, a wave of nervous energy still surged through her, fueling a need for release in his arms.
"I love you, my beautiful, sexy princess," he whispered, now removing the other sock.
She sighed as he finally straightened up and unfastened his pants. With a very slow motion, he slid the pants down. Her own frustration mounted.
He stepped out of his pants, pretending not to notice her need. Standing there in just his boxers, he kissed her cheek, then stepped back. "Do you want a nap?"
She growled softly from the back of her throat and grabbed his arm. "Not right now," she said. She pulled on him sharply, sending him tumbling onto the bed. In an instant, she was crouched next to him, pulling his boxers off and tossing them away. "Right now I need the man I'm going to marry!" She spread herself over him and kissed one of his nipples.
He groaned softly as she sucked at him. "It's nice to be needed," he said softly.
She nodded, then swept her tongue over his nipple. Moving down, she kissed his abdomen, then took hold of his fully erect manhood, caressing it lovingly in her hand, and kissing his tip. As he groaned again, she took his tip in her mouth and sucked at it.
He sighed as he felt the soft, velvety warmth of her mouth enveloping him, and her tongue sweeping over him, while her hair spread out over them both like a cape of spun gold. Her hand continued to stroke his shaft with firm motions, only adding to the intense waves of pleasure sweeping through him. She pulled back, making a soft popping sound as his tip slipped out of her mouth. Her hand slid down to gently cradle his sac, her fingers caressing the sensitive spot just behind it, making his entire body stiffen in response. As he gasped, her tongue swept very slowly along his shaft, but stopping just short of the tip.
She grinned inwardly as she slid back down to the base of his swollen member to resume her loving attentions. His flesh was stretched taut, but was smooth and warm under her tongue, and she enjoyed the feel of him quivering with such pleasure. She pressed her fingertips just behind his sac once more. As he stiffened and gasped, she rubbed her tongue firmly around the base of his tip.
"Usako!" he groaned.
She sighed happily, sensing the pleasure he was experiencing, then took his tip back in her mouth. Her hand again took hold of his quivering shaft, while she licked and sucked his tip with passionate intensity. She loved this man more than anything, and wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with him and make a family together. Her lips rubbed over the base of his tip, bringing another groan from him. She pulled back, sweeping her tongue over his tip. As she popped it back in her mouth, she increased the speed of stroking his shaft. He gasped, and his entire body was seized in spasm. His penis thrust up, and she held it firmly in her mouth as his fluid poured out.
"Usako," he sighed, feeling spent.
She finished gulping down his flood, then took a breath, a smile of blissful joy on her face. "Oh, Mamo-chan," she sighed. "I love you so much."
"I love you, my princess," he said.
She kissed his tip once more, before moving up over him.
He smiled up at her, seeing her crescent moon shining brightly. "You are so beautiful."
She kissed his lips. "You are so good to me, Mamo-chan... and you make me so happy."
He enfolded her in his arms. "That's my job, Usako. A husband should make his wife happy."
"And vice versa, Mamo-chan. And vice versa."
"You most certainly do, my love," he said, enjoying the feel of her naked young body in his arms. "I couldn't wish for a better lover and mate."
She grinned, kissing him again. "Neither could I."
He suddenly tickled her ribs. As she cried out in protest, he rolled them both over, then slid down and seized one of her aroused nipples in his mouth, suckling it passionately.
"Oh, yes," she groaned, feeling her insides almost instantly coming to full boil. Just then, his hand brushed softly over her pubic mound, and a finger parted her nether lips. An intense burst of raw pleasure tore through her as he stroked her jewel, and she cried out wordlessly.
He swept his tongue around the tip of her nipple, then pressed his lips over it once again. She trembled beneath him, while his finger continued to probe gently within the moistness of her opening, lovingly caressing her hyper-sensitive jewel. His heart warmed as he felt her joy and pleasure through their link. He kissed the soft, smooth flesh of her breast, then moved over her to plant a kiss on her other nipple. As he drew back, he plunged two fingers deep into her channel.
"Oh, gods!" she gasped, her nerves set on fire as his fingers stroked her insides. His tongue rasped over her nipple once more, only adding to the exquisite pleasure she was feeling. Her hands swept over his shoulders and the back of his head as she was consumed with uncontrollable passion, totally at the mercy of his probing fingers. She gasped again, still amazed at how much raw pleasure this wonderful man could give her. His fingers plunged deep into her, then pulled back as he brushed her jewel once more. She cried out, her body shaking. His fingers slid into her yet again, and energy seemed to tingle along her every nerve. All at once, her entire body locked up in the full, overwhelming power of orgasm. "Oh, yes!" she cried.
He gently withdrew his fingers from her spasming womanhood, smiling as he gazed down at this incredibly beautiful young woman who was now his family and was carrying their child. An overwhelming joy welled up within him as the full impact of their victory hit him. He embraced her tightly and kissed her lips, thankful beyond measure that she had survived and that they would be together to provide a peaceful future for their child. "I love you, Usako," he whispered. "More than anything."
"I love you, Mamo-chan," she sighed breathlessly, aglow with pure ecstasy in the wake of her orgasm, and reveling in the feel of her future husband's body over her own. "I'm so glad I have you."
He nodded his agreement, not trusting himself to reply, but simply letting her know his feelings through their link. She smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling with purest love. Their lips came together, and his tongue slipped gently into her mouth, dancing slowly and sensuously with her own.
She moaned into the kiss, yearning desperately to hold him inside herself as her body blazed with an uncontained longing for him. He raised himself up slightly, their lips still pressed tightly together, and she immediately spread her legs apart, feeling him lowering himself between them. The tip of his manhood rubbed against her nether lips, and she groaned, hungering for him. She pulled at him with her arms, raising her hips to encourage him. In only a moment, she felt his hugely swollen tip spreading her nether lips open. Her inner muscles were already squeezing tightly, and she gasped as he pushed forward, spreading her wide. In just a moment, his incredible warm mass had sunk deep inside her, just where she so desperately needed him, taking her breath away.
He sighed with joy as he was again made physically one with her, as their souls had been one since their previous lives together. Her young channel held him very tightly. He rocked back very slowly and gently, falling into a slow rhythm.
"Oh, yes... Mamo-chan... Oh!... Oh, yes!" she gasped.
"Usako... so beautiful," he sighed.
She slid a hand down over his back, pressing her fingers into his bottom, and pulling on him with his every motion. Her legs enfolded his thighs as she clung to him as tightly as possible, both within and without. As he moved, the fire within her grew ever stronger. His shaft plunged deep into her yet again, stroking her inner muscles, and sending intense waves of pleasure sweeping through her. Her free hand traced the strong muscles of his back as he moved. Already, she knew every slightest detail of his body under her fingers, just as she was intimately familiar with the feel of his manhood within and what he liked. Even so, as completely familiar as she was with it all, she knew she could never tire of any of this. Nothing made her happier than the thought of spending a lifetime with this man.
He kissed her again, feeling her tongue sliding over his lips. "Oh gods, Usako," he gasped, feeling the full weight of his emotions swelling up uncontrollably as he clung to her. He quickly pressed his lips to hers once more, and his motions took on an increasing desperation as he melded himself to this young woman who was everything to him.
"Mamo-chan," she sighed lovingly, holding him with her arms and legs. Her breath came in short gasps as he plunged into her still more forcefully. She loved the feel of it, wanting to remain conjoined just as much as he did. Her entire body shook, along with the bed beneath them, as his throbbing mass thrust deep inside her. "Oh, yes!... Oh!... Oh, gods!... OOOHHHH, YES!!" she cried, soaring to orgasm.
He hardly slowed down, continuing to be driven on by the power of his passion and his need. Expressions of purest love flowed between them through their link. As he looked down at her, he saw her crescent moon glowing still more brightly, and he was vaguely aware of energy flowing through them both. He kissed her lips, shifting position as he pushed into her exquisite embrace yet again.
She cried out as his penis rubbed her g-spot and his body pushed down on her. He slid back, almost immediately plunging forward once more, bringing still another cry from her. She clung to him tightly, able to do little more than just enjoy this incredible storm of passion and emotion pouring out of her mate. Like him, she also knew just how close a call they had had, and wanted nothing more than to lose herself for a while in his wonderful, loving strength and warmth. In only moments, his raw power carried her to climax once again.
He gasped for breath as he still drove himself on, desperately seeking release. Energy flowed freely between them, somehow keeping him going in the face of sensations and passion so powerful that he certainly would have already peaked. Her fingers pressed hard into his back and bottom, while his shaft sank deep inside her, and she cried out. Finally, intense spasms began to swell within him, leaving him struggling to maintain his motions.
She felt his penis swelling within her, spreading her still wider as it quivered and throbbed madly. He groaned as he plunged forward once more. Her head rolled back and she cried out as he climaxed, flooding her womanhood with his seed, and sweeping her to still another orgasm of her own. She held him in her arms as he trembled above her, and reveled in the feel of his spreading warmth as he emptied himself into her.
"Usako," he whispered, going limp over her.
"I love you, Mamo-chan," she sighed.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," he said softly.
"I never want to have to find out," she said, running a hand softly over his back.
"Neither do I," he agreed, kissing her cheek. "I love you so much... and I want you in my life forever."
She nodded with a smile. "Forever and ever."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kara was already asleep as Atana set the girl down on her bed. She had cried most of the way back up to their house. Rei gently removed Kara's shoes and shocks, while Atana slipped off her shirt. As Atana finished undressing their daughter, Rei retrieved Kara's Sailor Mars nightie and slipped it on her. The little girl lay on her side, her hands clutched at her chest as she slept. Atana crouched down next to her and kissed her cheek. Rei did the same. They both glanced back at the sleeping little girl as they moved out of the room and closed the door.
Atana drew Rei into his arms and kissed her. "I love you, beautiful."
"I love you," she replied with a smile. "So very much."
They returned to the living room and sat down together on the couch. He held her in his arms as she leaned back against him. As he held her, he knew this was just the way he wanted things to always be.
"What are we going to do now that Kara knows?" Rei asked softly.
He sighed and nodded. "That wasn't how I'd planned on her finding out."
"We were probably on borrowed time, anyway," she said. "When she took over controlling the sphere before we left, I saw the sign of Mars beginning to appear on her forehead."
"Really? Are you sure?" he asked, surprised.
Rei nodded. "Without a doubt... If my memories of the past are correct, Princess Rei started to develop her powers quite young."
"And I've been teaching her to use magic... which probably only accelerated things," he admitted.
"And now she expects us to get married right away," Rei observed.
Atana nodded. "Yes... She saw an image from our past that must have been drawn from my memories. It was our last time together on the Moon... and I'd said if you beat the Dark Kingdom, we were going to get married."
She closed her eyes, remembering that scene herself. A tear formed in her eye.
"Apparently, Shinozaki, Artemis, and Luna, managed to get Kara to understand that that happened in the past, but she doesn't seem to fully understand that what we said back then doesn't necessary apply now," he said. "But that is a lot to ask of a four-year-old... even a particularly smart one."
"That's true," Rei agreed. "And she is very smart."
He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "It still amazes me how much she takes after her mother."
She smiled and glanced back at him. "But she still has a lot of her father in her."
He kissed her cheek again. "I love having you here," he whispered.
"I love being here," she sighed. "I feel so much at home with you."
"I'm glad," he said. He slid his hands down and unfastened her shorts. "There's nothing like a quiet afternoon at home with the woman I love... Mrs. Magi."
She sighed happily as she slipped her shorts off. "A part of me is already wishing we could make it real," she said softly. "Especially after what we've just been through."
He slid his arms around her. "I know just what you mean, darling. I'd marry you in an instant if I could... but I also know we've just been through a pretty rough and emotional experience..."
She nodded. "I know... And that's probably part of why Kara wants us to get married."
"I'm sure you're right," he agreed.
As she again relaxed against him, he slid a hand up under her shirt, softly caressing the smooth flesh of her young breast. She moaned as her nipples swelled under his gentle caress.
"Let's go to bed," he whispered, his other hand sliding down inside her panties.
"Ohhh... You talked me into it, my love," she sighed.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Makoto lay naked on their bed as an equally naked Shinozaki carefully massaged her back.
"Oh!" she gasped, as he dug into a particularly tight muscle. "That feels good."
"I'm glad," he said softly.
"You are so good to me," she sighed.
"I try, Mako-chan... I'm just happy to have you back."
"I love being back with you," she said.
He continued to run his hands slowly but firmly over the bare flesh of her back. "I thought you looked incredibly beautiful in your princess form."
"Thank you."
"But I really like you like this," he added.
"Oh, you!" she sputtered.
She started to turn over, but he pressed his weight down on her, kissing her cheek. "I can't help it that the girl I love is so incredibly sexy," he whispered.
She grinned. "And the boy I love is very handsome... and quite sexy himself."
"As long as you think so," he replied.
Feeling him lift himself off of her, she moved again, reaching back to tickle him.
"Mako-chan!" he protested.
As she raised herself up, he quickly leaned over her, slipping his arms around her. One hand slip up to cup her full breast.
"Shinozaki," she gasped, still struggling. Her nipples swelled, and she felt a powerful arousal growing within her as their naked bodies rubbed together.
He held her firmly as she squirmed beneath him, his own arousal growing as well. She pushed back against him. As he rocked back, his erect penis suddenly slid between her legs, his tip rubbing her wet nether lips. Before he could even think about it, he found his tip sliding into this beautiful girl who was his best friend, lover, and soul-mate.
She groaned in both surprise and exquisite pleasure as her lover's manhood parted her nether lips. Needing only a moment to realize what had happened, she quickly pushed herself back against him, feeling his mass slide deep into her, setting her nerves on fire. "Oh, yes!"
He grasped both of her breasts, and began to move within her. Never had he done it this way before, and he moved cautiously. She cried out with obvious pleasure, pushing back hard against him. Rocking back, he quickly repeated the move.
"Oh, yes!" she cried. "So good... Oh!... Yes!" His motions were growing more forceful, plunging his shaft powerfully into her, and rapidly sweeping her toward her peak.
"Mako-chan," he groaned, fast approaching his own peak. He squeezed one of her nipples in his fingers while continuing to move with her, thrusting his quivering manhood into her.
"Oh, gods!... Yes, my love!... Yes!" she cried.
His body thrust forward powerfully, and his penis swelled against the constraint of her channel. He groaned as he felt his seed pouring into her.
She cried out as his climactic thrust swept her away in orgasm. His body trembled, and his penis continued to spasm inside her as he finished emptying himself.
"Oh, Mako-chan," he sighed.
"I love you," she said softly. "That was... just wonderful."
"So are you, my darling... Just wonderful."
He gently pulled back, slipping himself out of her. With a sigh, she lay down on the bed. He immediately lay down next to her.
"You liked that?" he asked, slipping an arm across her.
"Oh, yes," she sighed happily.
He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Are you still interested in that bath I offered you?"
Makoto nodded. "Sure. Just give me a few minutes," she whispered drowsily.
He kissed her again. "Of course, beautiful. I'm in no hurry."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Geoff relaxed in bed as his beautiful lover slept beside him. He reached over and softly brushed a strand of golden hair out of her face. His heart warmed as he gazed at her. Asleep, her youth was still most plainly evident. He sighed, knowing just how much he loved her, yet contemplating the future.
He knew that Atana and Rei had become engaged, while Shinozaki seemed to have at least hinted at his intent to eventually propose to Makoto. Still gazing at the sleeping Minako, he felt a yearning within himself to ask her to marry him. He had no illusions about being able to actually get married any time soon, but a part of him still longed to be able to make such a commitment to her. He hesitated, still recalling just how young she was. Although he was certain she would deny any suggestion that he was pushing her in any way, he was still concerned about it. Two of Minako's friends might be engaged, and one of them pregnant, but that didn't change the fact that Usagi and Rei were very much the exception among 14-year-old girls. From his perspective, Minako was just as much an exceptional young woman. Never had he known any other girls that age who were that mature and truly ready for an adult relationship. He frowned and shook his head as he recalled the groups of girls about that age he had encountered at malls both in Auckland and Tokyo. Only very rarely had he seen even the slightest sign of such behavior in Minako.
"I love you, my beautiful Venus," he whispered, kissing her cheek.
She sighed softly and shifted position, snuggling closer to him. He lay his head on the pillow next to her. It felt so perfect to have her there alongside him. Now that he had discovered such a simple, yet exceptional pleasure, he never wanted to do without it.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ami and Ryo sat together on a park bench in the small town near Atana's home. After a nap together, they had borrowed a motor scooter from Atana's garage and had decided to tour the town. They had parked the scooter, and bought ice cream cones.
"This is nice," Ryo said softly.
Ami nodded, taking another lick of her ice cream. "Yes, it is. Quiet time alone with the boy I love."
He smiled, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "I love you."
She moved closer to him, feeling him slide his arm around her. "I love you," she whispered.
They were silent for a moment. He then chuckled softly. "You know, this is much more fun than studying."
Ami grinned. "Much more fun," she agreed. "And Mom was afraid we'd spend all our time studying."
Ryo nodded. "But your mother already has a pretty good idea of what else we're up to. I don't think we need her knowing any more, my darling girl genius."
"Definitely not," she said quietly. "And you qualify as a genius too, you know."
"Yes. I know that," he said. "But we seem to do much better together."
"Even in studying," she said, giggling softly.
He felt a familiar warmth as she leaned her head against him, knowing she was absolutely right. She was unquestionably the best thing to ever happen to him, and with the help of her friends, they were both emerging from the rather introverted personalities of their youth. "I like the rest of it."
"So do I," she said, knowing that he had made her happier than she had ever been.
They sat together quietly, finishing their ice cream.
Several minutes later, a young couple walked along the street and into the park. Both were clearly of Japanese ancestry. Holding hands, the two gazed out at the view. The young man then pulled a camera from his bag. Glancing around, they noticed Ryo and Ami, and walked toward them.
"Ah... Excuse..." the man started to say, in heavily accented English.
Ryo and Ami both rose. "We speak Japanese," Ryo said.
The faces of the man and the woman lit up.
"Are you here on your honeymoon, too?" the woman asked.
Ami glanced at Ryo and flushed. "Uhm, no. We're not married."
"Not yet," Ryo added, squeezing Ami's hand.
Ami glanced at him again.
The man and the woman nodded.
"We would like to ask if you could possibly take our picture," the man said, holding up his camera.
Ami nodded. "We'd be happy to," she said, taking the offered camera. Hawaii was a favored honeymoon destination of Japanese newlyweds, who usually came on package tours and spent most of their time out of the hotel taking copious amounts of photographs for family.
"Thank you very much," the woman said with a bow. "Over there, please?"
"Certainly," Ami said, returning the bow.
They moved over so that newlywed couple was standing beneath a small cluster of trees, with the ocean visible behind them.
Ami waited, with Ryo standing just behind her, until the couple confirmed they had just the right position. The man nodded, and Ami raised the camera. She adjusted the focus, and took several shots, knowing the couple would likely have numerous relatives requesting copies.
"Thank you so much," the man said, stepping toward them.
"You're welcome," Ami replied, handing the camera back.
"You are from Tokyo?" the woman asked.
Ryo nodded. "That's correct."
"I thought I recognized the Tokyo dialect," the woman said. "Masaharu and I are from Nagoya."
"You were just married?" Ryo asked.
The man shook his head. "About seven months, actually. But we couldn't manage the trip until now."
"Enjoy yourselves... and best wishes for your married happiness," Ami said.
"Thank you," the woman said. "And best wishes for yours, when the time comes. Do you have a date yet?"
Ami flushed again. She was about to protest that they were too young, but remembered Atana's spell, which made them appear as adults to this couple. "Ah... No. Not yet," she said. "It's... uhm, a... ah, a question of scheduling..."
The woman nodded in sympathetic understanding. "I know just what you mean. We both have large families, and demanding jobs. We had to wait over a year to find a date when both our families could all attend, and when we could get time off."
"Yes. It was a rough time for both of us," the man agreed. "But forgive us. We have already taken up too much of your time."
"That is quite alright," Ami said. "It was our pleasure to be able to help."
"Thank you so much," the woman said. "We must be going. Our tour bus will be leaving soon."
"Thank you," the man said. "Good bye."
"Good bye," Ryo said, as the man and woman turned, walking back down the street.
Ami leaned closer to Ryo. "So... not yet?" she asked. "Is that a subtle way of asking me something?"
Ryo flushed. "Uhm, well... I think we're both looking forward to that when we're older."
She smiled and nodded.
"But as for formally asking... I'd like to wait until we're both ready, and when I can do it properly," he said. "Do you mind that?"
She shook her head, then kissed his lips. "Not at all, my love."
"But I do intend to ask you," he said.
She smiled, then giggled softly. "Or I might ask you."
He kissed her in return. "I wouldn't object."
"I didn't think you would," she said softly, her happiness plain in her voice.
"Should we head back?" he asked.
"Sure," she answered.
Hand in hand, they walked back to where they had parked the motor scooter.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It was nearly dark when Tsukino Kenji finally made it home. Mass transit services were beginning to be restored to parts of Tokyo and some streets were being reopened, while the reports coming in had made it clear the earthquake had been comparatively minor. The strange heavy cloud cover had vanished about midday, just as suddenly as it had appeared. As he approached the front door, he saw that the house appeared undamaged, but he could see candles burning inside.
"Daddy!" Shingo cried, meeting him at the door.
"Hi, Shingo," Kenji said, giving the boy a hug.
"I'm glad you're home," Shingo said. "School was canceled today."
Kenji nodded. "You weren't hurt, were you?"
Shingo shook his head. "No. I'm fine."
"That's good," Kenji said, embracing him again. He looked up to see Ikuko standing there. "Did you have any problems here?" he asked.
Ikuko shook her head, embracing her husband and kissing him. "Nothing serious. One of the large windows shattered, but I got the glass cleaned up, and Shingo helped me cover the opening with one of the pieces of plywood you keep in the basement."
He nodded in understanding, having prepared plywood covers for most of the windows in the house for just such an emergency. It was an earthquake precaution his own father had insisted on when Kenji was growing up. "You're OK?"
"Of course," Ikuko said. "How about you?"
"I'm fine," he said, kissing her softly. "I'm just glad to be home."
She continued to hold him. "I'm glad you're home, too," she whispered. "The phones went out, along with the power... and the radio had only very vague reports of fires and gas explosions in the center of the city."
"Our building wasn't damaged too badly," Kenji said. "A few ceiling tiles came down in my office, but nothing serious... And the nearest fire was several blocks away."
She kissed him again. "I'm just glad you're safely home... you and Shingo both... And that Usagi is away from this."
"Yes," he said softly, again remembering how he had felt that morning.< To be continued >
