"Let me finish my cake first!" the squirrel exclaimed.<br/><br/>She did so, and licked her lips. "Yum! I hope you taste this good."<br/><br/>She stood up and sashayed across to Chris, tail swaying behind her head like a battle flag. She reached out, put her hands on Chris' shoulders, and slid him and backwards across the kitchen. "Now, you sit there and leave anything to me."<br/><br/>"Maria?" Foxglove looked a bit surprised.<br/><br/>The squirrel grinned over her shoulder. "I guess I've gotten over my nerves. If I'm going to do this, I'm darned well going to do it _right_!"<br/><br/>She dropped to her knees in front of Chris, pushed his legs apart and slid between them.
