Some time ago, a friend of mine invited my wife Madison and me to a camping trip. It was something of a big deal; some of his other friends planned the whole thing, and they were expecting a turnout of over eighty people.

Author's note: This story takes place following Holly's Winter and Cecee's Spring, but before Vicky's Fall and Oksana's New Year.

*** -- CHAPTER 10: Falling Roses -- *** SPRING (April 2003) "Uhm... hmmm..." The low moan was guttural in tone and partially muffled. Fitting, since my dick was blocking her windpipe a bit.
