RIO<br/><br/>For a few beats of my heart I thought we were going to see fists fly and testosterone splash out of everywhere but the pretty auburn-haired woman said the obvious things to calm the men down.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I don't beat around bushes, you know that!"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I gave Goran another surreptitious nudge. It was impossible to communicate with him like this, all I wanted was no trouble, it could drive these people away, then I'd have to face the Big Bosses. Ms. Andrews I could bear but when Senõr Arroyo got angry, being the focus of his venting was not a nice place to be.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"We're staying here."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>"Great!"</strong>I clapped my hands,<strong>"Thank you. We hope you have a lovely stay."</strong>Relief poured off me like sweat off Sally.<br/><br/>She turned to Goran. The big Swede was a thug and would flatten any male who threatened the farm but he was a big softie with the ladies. I bet he'd melt in no time if this curvy kitten turned on the charm and pushed her chest out.<br/><br/><em>Hm. A kitten. That <span class="bbc_u">would</span> suit her. Ears and tail and... yeah...</em>My perverted train of thought was broken by her speaking.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I could help you out if you've got beer. There probably isn't anything else to do around here."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><em>Nope. Nothin' much. Just milking the animals and of course we're a stud farm, so things get a bit busy and sweaty some days... you'll find out my sweet...</em><br/><br/>I smiled waiting for Goran to answer and after he'd spoken I made a suggestion.<br/><br/><strong>"The chalets are unlocked so go and settle in. I'll be around in a few minutes to put fresh linen out and tidy round. There's six of them so you can take one each or share, they each have two rooms, so feel free to spread out."</strong>
