Chapter 29 -She Walks Funny
I rode into Burney just after lunch bell had sounded, I unsaddled Barb and put her away and wandered down to see what Wini was serving for lunch. I saw her sitting at a table with several of the Kitchen staff. The usual mob at lunch didn't seem to be there it was mostly very young girls and grannies.
Wini saw me and waved me over to her. I walked over and kissed her cheek, "How is my favorite Aunty today?" I asked her.
She pulled the chair out next to her and patted it. She smiled wanly," I'm tired, Sarge kept me up all night and I missed breakfast." She sighed and smiled at me. "Fortunately the breakfast crowd was light and Maureen got the biscuits ready and fried up some bacon. Lunch is just lamb stew and biscuits. Rachel get Josh some stew will you?"
Rachel didn't look too chipper but she was smiling, nodded and went to get me some stew. She walked funny, with her legs spread a little too much and slowly.
Wini laughed at her, leaned over to me and whispered, "Rachael tried to screw all the Black Brothers who were at the Bath house last night. She says she sampled them all, at least a little. But I think it was Raule that makes her walk funny." Wini giggled and looked at me. "How do you feel this morning Josh? I saw you walk Astral and Lauren out last night."
"Your nieces wore me out last night. Wini, I've sworn off women because of the De Soto sisters." I whispered in to her ear.
Wini laughed, "How is your neck feeling? It looks like Lauren did the Puma on you." She looked at the bruises and patted my cheek. " We can't have you swearing off women Josh, there are too many of us who need you." Her hand stroked my neck where the teeth marks were.
"Wini, the De Soto women have worn me out. I made a pact with myself to keep chaste for at least three days, maybe a week. I need to eat and rest and readjust my bodily fluids." I smiled at her, "You can see I'm only a shell of the man you saw last night."
Rachael came waddling back with a bowl of stew and a plate of biscuits. She sat them in front of me, "Eat Hearty Josh, How about some milk to wash that down?"
"That would be very good Rachael, I hear milk is good source of minerals, I could use some minerals right now."
