Sneak Preview ...
Jimmy jerked back so hard his chair fell over backwards, causing his head to hit the floor with a dull thud. The pain was shooting and sharp. His eyes closed instinctively. He kept them closed until the pain in his head subsided a bit. Then, slowly, almost fearfully, he opened them.
Looking down at him, framed by a night sky and thousands of stars, was the beautiful, smiling face of Veronica Taylor. He could feel that he was no longer lying on a cold, hard floor. He was lying naked in the high grass. And Veronica’s naked body was lying partially on his as she looked dotingly down at him.
