Book Cover & Preview Text
I looked at her. Annie was dressed casually for a trip to the islands wearing snug fitting blue jeans and a turquoise colored polo shirt. She had just had her naturally curly, gray streaked, honey blond hair cut short at her favorite stylist so she wouldn't have to put extra time in caring for her hair after she returned from the beach. She looked absolutely beautiful for a woman in her early fifties. "Has it been five years since I've been down to the islands with you?" she said to me as I sat along side her in the aiplane to the islands. "It seems that the only time that I've been able to come with you is when one of the kids is taking your course for credit. Either we should have had more children, or this might be the last time that I'll be able to come down with you," said Annie , as she reached over to me and held my hand. "You know that you can come down to the islands anytime you want. I usually come to miss my skinny dipping partner as soon as I get down there," as I lifted her hand to my face and kissed it. "I knew that's all you want from me," she started to laugh and her hazel green eyes sparkled. "I become your sex slave once we get to the islands." "You're right, kid, But I tend to be more the slave when it comes to you," I said as I raised a glass of champagne that we had ordered from the busomy flight attendant. "Here's to you, kid, the true love of my life."
