I would appreciate a little feedback about this series. This story is best read after reading the earlier chapters.

The following Saturday, as Jason was doing my toenails, the kitchen phone began ringing and Jason brought it to me and resumed his position on his knees. It was Anne. And she was irate. I have always loved Jason's mother and we have never had an argument, so I guessed that perhaps Marilyn had shared something indiscreet with her mother. That wasn't it, but it was close.
"Alexis, how dare you teach my daughter to smoke! And cigars-you know how much I hate those vile things. Who the hell do you think you are? Lillie is only 18 and I won't have her corrupted by anyone. I am shocked at your transformation."
I smiled inside, wondering how pissed Ann would be if she knew how transformed I really am.
"Relax Anne. I don't believe that smoking cigars makes a girl corrupt. And, by the way, 18 is the legal age. Lillie is an adult. I didn't force anything on her. She saw the rest of us enjoying our cigars, and she asked to join in. Considering that her mother was there, and was also enjoying a smoke, it really is not for you to say. Sorry if this offends you, but that's the way I feel."
"What did you say Alexis? Marilyn was in on this too? I am now extremely angry at the both of you and I will have to end this call, because I am heading over to her house right now to give her a piece of my mind."
Jason returned and I chose my cigar, which Jason promptly prepared and lit for me. He knew not to say anything about my conversation with his mother, but I knew he was scared that things might have gone a little too far. He resumed painting my toes.
"Good job so far, my cute little slave. I think I might allow you some relief tonight."
"Thank you Mistress."
. . .
About 2 hours later, as Jason prepared dinner, the doorbell rang. Jason quickly put on sweat pants and a shirt, and answered the door. It was Marilyn and Lillie.
"We're in deep shit with my mother, Alexis." I haven't seen her this pissed in a long time."
"Tell me what happened, my dears."
Lillie spoke up first, with a smile.
"It was me, Aunt Alexis. I told Grandmom that I tried cigars at your house and that I like them. She freaked, saying stuff like it is unladylike and that decent guys would never want to date me. She was so mad that there was no point in arguing, so I just told her I was sorry she was disappointed but that this is now something that I love to do. And then I went back home."
"And that's probably when you got your phone call, Alexis," said Marilyn.
"She showed up at our house and just started yelling. When she smelled the cigar smoke in the house, she really freaked. I don't know what to do. On the one hand, I don't want to displease Mom. But on the other hand, I enjoy the changes of the past week, especially in the bedroom."
"Too much information, mother," said Lillie.
Marilyn reddened.
"Aunt Alexis, I hope you wouldn't mind if I borrowed one of your cigars. I'm in the mood and it might calm us down."
I summoned Jason to bring the humidor, and Lillie and I chose our sticks and Jason lit them for us.
"Care to join us Marilyn"
"Oh, what the hell, sure. I could also use a stiff drink."
I nodded at Jason and he took the drink orders and brought them to us, returning afterward to the kitchen.
Just then a car pulled up. Anne had arrived, and Marilyn and Lillie looked a bit frantic.
"Just continue what you're doing, ladies. You are adults, and you don't have to be afraid of your mother.
Ann gasped audibly as she took in the sight of us smoking our cigars.
