THE GIFT

  A YOUNG WARRIOR WISHED TO PURCHASE A GIFT FOR A POTENTIAL CONSORT HE HAD BEEN SEEING. THE FEMALE HE HAD IN MIND CAME FROM A VERY HONORABLE FAMILY AND SHE DID NOT KNOW OF HIS PLANS TO ASK HER TO BE HIS CONSORT. HE DID NOT WISH TO ANGER HER FAMILY SO HE DECIDED ON A PAIR OF GLOVES WORTHY OF HER STATUS.

   ACCOMPANIED BY THE FEMALES YOUNGER SISTER HE WENT TO THE LEATHER SMITHS SHOP AND BARTERED FOR A PAIR OF BLACK LEATHER GLOVES TAILORED TO HIS SPECIFICATIONS. THE YOUNGER SISTER BOUGHT AN UNDERGARMENT WITH HER PRESENT CONSORT'S PLEASURE IN MIND.

   DURING THE WRAPPING, THE LEATHER SMITH MIXED UP THE ITEMS AND THE YOUNGER SISTER GOT THE GLOVES AND HIS POTENTIAL CONSORT GOT THE UNDERGARMENT. WITHOUT CHECKING THE CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE HE HAD IT DELIVERED TO HER WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: 

MARA, 

   I CHOSE THESE BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE HABIT OF WEARING ANY WHEN WE GO OUT. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR YOUR SISTER, I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE LONG ONES WITH BUTTONS, BUT SHE WEARS SHORT ONES THAT ARE EASY TO REMOVE.

   THESE ARE A DARK SHADE, BUT THE SMITHS CONSORT SHOWED ME A PAIR SHE HAD BEEN WEARING FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS AND THEY WERE HARDLY SOILED. I HAD HER TRY YOURS ON FOR ME AND THEY LOOKED EXCELLENT.

   I WISH I WAS THERE TO PUT THEM ON YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME, AS NO DOUBT OTHER HANDS WILL COME IN CONTACT WITH THEM BEFORE I HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

   JUST THINK HOW MANY TIMES I WILL BITE THEM IN THE COMING YEAR. I HOPE YOU WILL WEAR THEM WHEN I SEE YOU IN THREE DAYS.
