HypnoWho 
   
Part 4

     Her bedroom was empty.  Her bedside lamp was on and she had
draped a large red scarf over the shade; the room was lit in a dim
reddish light.  The curtains around her open French balcony doors
rustled in a slight breeze off the lake.  The white dress she had worn
was draped over a chair.  The bed had been turned down, the
bedspread and sheets were pooled on the floor at the end of the
bed.
     Thornton closed the door and walked toward the bed, looking at
her bathroom but the lights were off in there.
     "Lisa?" he called.
     "I thought you weren't coming."
     Lisa's voice came from his right.  He looked and saw her in the
door to the balcony. She was smirking at him, standing in a pose
that showed off all the curves of her young body.  She was wearing
a white lace bra, white thong bikini underwear with straps that rode
high on her prominate hips, the sheer white, mid-thigh hose which
he now saw had an elastic flower pattern along the top, and her high
heels still.  She looked like a slice of heaven.
     "Wild horses couldn't have kept me away," Thornton said as he
walked around to the side of her bed facing the balcony and sat
down on the bed.  "I love that outfit."
     Lisa ran her hands down her sides, over her hips to rub the top of
the hose.  "Mom picked these hose out.  And the shoes.  I liked them
so much I decided to leave them on."
     "I think you should leave them on.  In fact, I insist that you do. 
Now come here and let me feel them."  Thornton held out his arms
and the young vixen slowly walked into them.  Lisa stood between
his legs as Thornton ran his hands up and down her silk leggings.
     "You like my legs, Alec?"  Lisa asked as she parted her thighs to
let him explore further.  "I know they're not as long as mom's."
     "Lisa, I like these young legs," Thornton said as he ran his hands
up the smooth sides of her hips.  "I like the whole package. Darling,
you're a little sexpot."  Thornton leaned his head forward and briefly
kissed Lisa's tummy above her bellybutton.
     "Your hands are getting me excited," Lisa admitted.
     Thornton's hands had traveled up her hips and then went around
to grab her round ass.  Lisa had a classic bubble butt; it stuck out
like a shelf.  This contrasted nicely with her upper body which was
very petite.
     As Thornton's big hands stroked and kneaded her behind,  Lisa
put her arms behind her back and undid her bra.  She unashamedly
shook it off and cast it on the floor.  Her tits were a small B-cup in
size; perfect sloping half-moons capped by small areolae and hard
eraser-shaped nipples. Lisa put her arms around her stepfather's
head and leaned into him, offering a hard nipple to his mouth.  His
tongue lapped over it and then he sucked into his mouth.
     "God, Alec, that feels good," Lisa sighed as he suckled her
breast.
     Alec loved the feel of his stepdaughter's teat in his mouth.  Her
flesh was incredibly soft and he opened his mouth wider and sucked
most of her beanbag-shaped tit into his mouth.  Lisa pressed her
young body harder against him, obviously enjoying the strong
suction he was applying.
     Meanwhile, Thornton's hands kept up their exploration of Lisa's
voluptuous bottom. He pulled the string thong out of her buttocks
and his thick fingers slid around the lower swell of her ass and found
her little asshole.
     Lisa jerked as he slid a finger back and forth over her puckered
opening.  Alec was sure that none of her teenage boyfriends had
paid any attention to that erogoneous zone.  Next he ran his finger
further under and toward him, tracing a slow path across the flat
hairless region between her asshole and pussy.  Lisa could not
stand the delicious suspense and she pushed away from Thornton
to stand upright again, just out of his reach.
     Thornton could see she was immensely turned on.  Her mouth
was hanging open and her face was flushed.  Her little pussy was
sure to be sopping wet.  Thornton wanted that little treasure
exposed.
     "Turn around," he directed his new little strumpet.  "Turn around
and slowly pull down your thong."
     Lisa hooked her thumbs under the strings of the thong high on
her hips and spun away from him. Thornton was amazed at how thin
her torso was in profile; it looked like he would be able to put his
hand around her entire side.  Watching him over her shoulder, she
arched her back, pushing her fanny at him and slid the thong down
onto her thighs.
     "Beautiful.  Now I want you to take it down to your ankles. 
Slowly, that's it.  Bend way over.  Keep those legs straight.  Oooh,
you little cockteaser!  I can see your pussy."
     Lisa had never felt as hot as she felt now.  She spread her legs
as far as the thong around her ankles would allow and ran her left
hand up between her legs.  Her fingers ran through the small tuft of
dark pubic hair at the top of her hardly noticeable outer labia, then
slid upward to tease her slick slit.
     Lisa heard Alec draw in his breath sharply and she became more
excited at the way she was turning on her illicit visitor.  All her
previous boyfriends had pretty much just jumped on her and got their
rocks off without much concern for her feelings or needs.  But Alec
was taking things slow, giving her pleasure.  Plus there was the
added excitement that she would soon be sampling some of the
good loving that her mother often got.
     Satisfied that she'd given her stepfather enough of a show, Lisa
straightened up and kicked the thong off.  She turned and walked to
Alec as he was pulling his robe off his shoulders.  She knew he had
a well-conditioned, muscular body but seeing it up close on her bed
was something she never imagined.  She stroked his strong
shoulders as he shook the robe off and pulled her to him.
     Thornton put his arms around his hot teenager and pulled her on
his lap as he kissed her for the first time.  She kissed really well and
he could feel her hands holding the side of his face as their tongues
snaked around each other.  Her knees had straddled his upper
thighs on the bed and he ran his hands down her back to grip her
soft asscheeks.  He pulled Lisa's hips against his body and felt his
thick erection become sandwiched between them. He felt Lisa mew
in his mouth as she felt his hard member dig into her soft belly.  She
broke their kiss and leaned back to look down between their bodies.
     "Mmmmmmmm, Alec!" Lisa said, looking down at the crown of his
cock. "Can you feel my pussy rubbing your shaft?  Mmmmm,
mmmmmm!"
     Thornton could indeed feel her wet crevice, way down low, as
she grinded against his immovable flesh monolith.  If she kept it up,
he'd blow his wad all over her.
     "Uhhhn, your pussy's hot, isn't it, Lisa?"  Thorton said as he slid a
hand up her undulating side and cupped one of her tits.
     "Yes, yes!" Lisa proclaimed, looking him in the eye.
     "You want me to fuck you, don't you?"  Thornton teased.
     "Mmmmm, yeah......I know you want to!"
     "You don't know how much. But first I'm gonna get you good and
wet, baby."  Thornton swung Lisa around his body and over onto her
back, sideways on her bed.  "Move back, that's it."
     Thornton had his willing stepdaughter scoot her ass backward
until she was in the middle of the queen-size bed.  Thornton rolled
over on his stomach, slid his hands her knees and pushed her legs
open.  Lisa rose up on her elbows and watched him crawl closer,
bringing his mouth toward her tender pussy.
     "Oh my God, Alec, are you gonna eat me?!"  Her voice was a
mixture of disbelief and wanton desire.  To show her support, her
legs dropped farther open to lay on the mattress.
     "Yes, I'm gonna give your pussy a good licking.  Then fucking
you will go a lot easier.  God, your pussy looks fucking perfect." 
Thornton placed his hands on her splayed thighs and blew air
across Lisa's gleaming sex.  The young girl twitched in anticipation.
     Thornton wasn't going to tease her any longer; he wanted to work
his tongue up her twat as much as she wanted him to.  He hadn't
had any teen pussy in over 25 years.  Back then he hadn't known
what to do with his mouth but he'd had a lot of practice since.
     Thornton scooted higher into her legs and laid his right forearm
on her left thigh, his right hand came to rest just above her pussy on
her flat, smooth tummy. Laying his left hand on her other thigh, he
dipped his head down into her lap.  His tongue flicked out and
landed at the top of her pink slit and burrowed into her small inner
labia.
     Lisa moaned. Thornton worked his tongue slightly lower and felt
the small nub of her clit.  He sent his tongue around and around it. 
Lisa whimpered and her thighs tried to close but he held them open
and continued his oral ministrations.
     "Mmmmmm, ah, ah, ah, mmmm!"  Lisa mewed as her stepfather
tongued her most sensitive, most erotic area.  "Oh, mmmm, mmmm,
oh Alec, Alec!"
     Thornton raised his head slightly, bringing his tongue off her love
button as he brought the fingers of his right hand lower to cover her
dewy pussy lips.  His fingers spread her lips and Thornton could see
the small entrance to her teen sexhole.  He ran his middle finger
down into the entrance and pushed it in slowly.  Her buttery passage
was surprisingly obliging.  It seemed to suck in his probing finger.
     The girl was obviously no virgin; the pregnancy kit meant she had
had someone up her pussy before.  He sank his finger in to the
second knuckle and began fucking her with it.  Lisa hunched her
hips to meet his digit.  He stole a glance up at Lisa and she had her
head tossed back toward the ceiling, her hands were trying to dig
into the firm mattress.
     "Mmmmm, oh, yeah....mmm, yeah...oh, Alec, I can feel your
finger in me!" Lisa whimpered as Thornton kept at it, getting the
young girl more and more excited.  His finger was slipping easily in
and out of her as her juices began to leek out around his pistoning
digit.
     Thornton pulled his finger out and brought his entire mouth down
on her slit and sucked up  the accumulated juices.  His tongue found
her slippery love tunnel and he wormed it inside of her.  He felt one
of Lisa's hands grab his head and he began to feverishly use his
tongue and mouth on her tasty cleft.
     Lisa couldn't take the skillful cunnilingus for more than a minute.
The heel on the shoe of her left foot began to scrape on Thornton's
lower back as her hips began dancing under his mouth. Thornton
ran both hands over her belly and grabbed her waist, trying to hold
her still as she writhed under his face.
     "ALEC, ALEC, ALLLLEECCCC! MMMMMMM,
OOOOOOOHHHH!"  Lisa screamed as her insides went topsy-turvy
and the world seemed to be reduced to Alec's tongue as her juices
gushed around it.
     Thornton let her juices coat his tongue and lips but he made no
effort to suck out any of the teen's lubricant.  He pulled his mouth off
Lisa's trembling crotch and rose to his hands and knees and looked
at his handywork.
     His stepdaughter was still out of it;  she'd fallen back on the bed
as her orgasm had taken her.  Her head was turned to one side; one
hand clutching a tit, the other thrown back above her head.  She was
breathing heavily; Thornton liked the way her ribcage appeared and
disappeared as she gulped in the forgotten oxygen.
     She was ready for him.  Thornton's prick was rockhard and eager
to feel the seventeen year old's snug cunt gripping it.  He crawled up
over his prone stepdaughter.
     Lisa had been revelling in the afterglow of the most powerful
orgasm she'd ever felt.  The light show on the inside of her eyelids
was beginning to fade.  She knew where she was again; on her bed
with Alec.  Marvelous Alec.
     She felt his lips on her sternum, kissing her there.  Then on her
lower neck, ooh, it felt so good.  His tongue traced the line of her jaw
back to her ear.  The feeling of his hot breath and teasing tongue in
her ear drove her wild.  It tickled but erotically.  She ran her hands to
cup his head and turned her face to his.  His tongue demanded
entrance to her mouth and she parted her lips to allow it in. 
Shamelessly, she Frenched her mother's husband as his weight
came down on her petite body.
     Alec broke their kiss and moved his mouth around her head to
work on her other ear.  Lisa gasped for breath as his weight was
being supported by her slender frame; she could feel Alec's hands
sliding down her hips.  Instinctively, Lisa moved her hands under his
shoulders and pushed up to relieve the weight on her chest. She
shivered as her lover's tongue began rimming her auricle opening
again.
     Thornton could feel Lisa's excitement growing again.  She was
digging into his chest with her small hands. Her left leg had swung
up and over his; her hose felt great against his skin. His hands
dipped lower and grabbed her sweet ass.  He slid further up her
body so that his shoulder nearly covered her nose.  He felt the end
of his throbbing cock press against the bottom of her mashed
buttcheeks and he shifted his hips upward and was rewarded by the
feel of her small, rubbery labia.  He pressed forward and his flared
head found her wet opening.
     "Lisa, relax, baby.  I'm gonna give it to you. I'll take it slow,
baby," he panted in her ear.
     "Mmm, yes, yes," Lisa mewed into his shoulder.
     Thornton bore his hips down into her and his wide crown pushed
past her snug entrance. Lisa's nails dug into his chest but she did
not cry out.  He stopped to let her get used to his unaccustomed
size. He imagined the lewd sight of his long man-size shaft sticking
in her girl-size pussy as he readied to bury it deeper.
     He thanked his lucky stars that he had gone to Europe to learn
the technique that was bringing him such untold delights.  He could
have his stepdaughter any time and any place he wanted.  But this
first time he would always remember.
     Thornton drove another inch of his boner in Lisa's velvety sheath,
then another.  The girl was taking it without too much difficulty.  She
was tight around him but that was just due to his size;  her
boyfriends probably would have slid right in.  Her forgiving flesh
gave way as he slowly packed more of his adult prong in her slick
hole.
     "MMMMmmm, oh, oh, Alec, mmmmm, yeah, so big, fuck, yeah,
give it to me!"  Lisa hotly encouraged her stepfather.  It felt like he
was driving a stake up in her loins.  The initial pain had weakened to
a dull ache but she knew this would be like her first fuck.  That had
started out painfully but ended in such an incredible feeling even if
the loser hadn't gotten her off.
     "Oh my God, Alec, I love it, more, more, oh shit!"  Lisa babbled
as her cuntal muscles flexed involuntarily around her guardian's
thick cockshaft.
     "Uhhhhnn.....Jesus!" Thornton groaned at the delicious feeling of
her sugar walls squeezing his manhood.  The woman-child had a
hot little pussy. He fed more of his shaft into her and felt the knob of
his cock press against the end of her cunt.  She had taken all she
could, about six inches.
     Thornton gripped her ass tightly and began slowly pulling his
buried phallus back out of Lisa. Her pussy sucked at his departing
member as he withdrew four inches, then pushed it back into her. 
Then he repeated the process and again, each time cramming his
girth faster into her oily depths.  Her strong hosed legs were mashed
against his moving hips and her nails were digging into his chest.
     The thought of blowing his wad was so tempting but he wanted to
see her when he went off.  Thornton released her pillowlike ass and
used his hands to raise himself up off her; his hands pressed down
into the mattress above her shoulders.
     Lisa's body was glistening with sweat of their forbidden sexual
exertions.  Her head was turned to one side and her hands had left
his chest to cup her adorable tits.  Thornton watched her twirl her
nipples with her manicured nails and he increased his thrusts,
unable to restrain himself.
     "Oh, mmm, mmm.....mmm, oh, oh," Lisa moaned with each hard
rabbit-thrust into her clutching sex.  She opened her eyes and
looked up at her stepfather.  He was staring down between their
bodies, watching his large erection heave in and out of her well-
fucked cunt.  She ran a hand down into the wisp of her pubic hair,
her finger searching for her clit.  Alec wasn't stimulating it due to his
inability to get all the way inside her.  Her fingers swept over the
hard button of nerve endings and also the top of Alec's stroking
prick.
     "Yeah...uhhn... that's good, Lisa.....uhhnn, uhhn ....grab it,
uhhn...Lisa, grab my dick, baby!" her lover instructed her.  Lisa
raised her shoulders and looked down her damp body. His hefty
cock was moving just beyond her fingers.  "Come on, baby!  Uhhhn,
just wrap your hand around it!  Uhhn, uhhn, yeah, oh yeah, that's it!"
     Lisa had twisted her body slightly so her hand could reach
around the midsection of Alec's busy cock.  She thrilled at the power
that seemed to ooze out of it; it was like grabbing a python.  The
skin was slack but underneath was hard, powerful muscle.
     Thornton felt like he had two more inches of cunt with Lisa's
delicate hand coiled around him.  Now he stroked into the
combination of her hand and tight pussy with lecherous abandon;
his swinging nuts slapped against the back of her gripping fingers
with a noticeable smacking sound.  He was fast approaching the
time when he was going to lose control.
     "Uhhhh, oh, yeah, uhh, uhh, oh Lisa, I'm gonna shoot! 
UUUUhhhh, Jesus, Jesus, Uhhh, Uuhhhhhh, here it comes, HERE
IT COMES!! UUUHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
     Thornton rammed hard into Lisa's hand and pussy and his eyes
crossed as his prick began to heave his cum deep in Lisa's tight
pussyhole.
     Lisa scissored her legs against Alec's contorting ass as she felt
his thick hose of a cock begin to deluge her bowels with his warm
cream.  It felt like he was pissing sperm in her.  He was crushing her
hand down on her clit and she corkscrewed her hand around his
jerking rod, the side of her hand rubbed her clit exquisitely.  She was
so close to getting off herself.
     "AAAAHHHHHH, AAAAHHHH!" Thorton wailed as each blast
flooded her pussy. He began moving his prick again, still fucking as
his essence continued to stream out of his piss-slit.  He grabbed
Lisa's jiggling left tit with his right hand and squeezed hard.
     "Oooooowww, oh God, oh Alec, mmmmm, your cum, mmmmmm,
I'm full, I'm full!  Please, oh please, make me come! Oooh, I'm right
there!"
     Thornton looked down at his tortured stepdaughter as his climax
ebbed.  Her slippery hand had left his shaft and she was rubbing her
clitty frantically, her ass jittering around his embedded stationary
dong.
     Thornton pulled his still twitching manhood from Lisa's soupy
pussy and brought his right hand back to fist it.  He positioned the
end of his cum-coated dick over her swirling fingers began jacking
off.  Several long slow dregs of pearly fuck syrup fell on her frenetic
fingers and raw teen sex. Lisa looked down at the lurid sight as
Thornton began rubbing his slimy cock-helmet on her clit.
     "Oh yes, rub my clit, Alec!"  Her legs fell off his ass and she
hunched her lap up at his semi-stiff erection.  Thornton pressed his
shaft down on her clit and stroked it back and forth. Lisa groaned in
pleasure.
     Her desire enflamed a fresh wave of lust in Thornton. He leaned
forward over Lisa and slapped his hands down on her slender
shoulders. The underside of his thickening organ mashed into her
sexy crotch and he began humping against Lisa's oozing slit and
sensitive clit. He was rewarded with sobs of delight from his young
lover.
     "OOH, God!  Yes, YES, ALEC!"  Lisa cried as her stepfather's
genitals carved into her tender slit and polished her excited clit with
more of their juices.  One second the underside of his glans was
banging into her clit and the next second his hairy balls were
squashed against it.
     "Come, Lisa! Uuhhh, come for me, baby!"  Alec ordered her as
he grinded against her.  Her hands gripped his forearms as she
humped back at him.  She was close, so close.  Thornton began
hurling his hips at her and Lisa's head tilted way back as a second
orgasm coursed through her straining body.
     "AAHAAHAHHAAAHHHAAAAAAHH!"  Lisa wailed in release.
     "Oh, fuck!" Thornton hissed as her hips began banging up at him. 
Her back arched as much as possible under his pinning hands and
her nails dug into his arms as she was overtaken by the ethereal
ecstacy.  The bedroom filled with the sounds of a trapped animal as
she writhed in total release under her new master.
     "God! You hot little bitch!  So good....so good," Thornton said as
he lay down on her unwinding body.  Their whole lovemaking had
taken less than twenty minutes; he swore to make the next time
much longer. He kissed her salty forehead and neck as his hand
roamed over her taut abdomen.  Lisa began crying and he held her
shivering body tightly to him until she could speak coherently.
     "I'm sorry, Alec." she blubbered.  "That was just . . . .too much I
guess."
     "Let it out, Lisa.  I thought it was great, too."
     "I'm glad.... I wanted it to be....God, I can't believe we did that!"
Lisa sighed as she wiped her tears away.  "I mean, before tonight, I
was never really attracted to you...like that."  Her hand traced a path
across his broad chest.  "I want it to keep happening.  Tell me this
isn't a one-night stand."
     "Lisa, I promise to come to your bed as much as possible. We
got the summer and your whole senior year before you go out into
the world."
     "That's not enough time," Lisa pouted. "Of course, I could go to
B.C.  Come home on the weekends...." she teased. "Or you could
rent me a one-bedroom off campus.  Oooh, think about that.  You
could drop by and help me break it in."  She giggled at the thought.
     "We'll see, we'll see. Right now I want you to go into the
bathroom and do some cleaning.  We made quite a mess.  On your
way back, bring me a washcloth and find some new sheets."
     "Whatever you say!"  Lisa promised as she kissed him and
headed for the bathroom on shaky legs, her round ass grinding
salaciously.
     Thornton lay back on the bed and thought, 'That's
right......whatever I say!'

                                ***********************
 
     The next morning, Dr. Thornton arrived at his office around 9:30
AM, a good hour late.  He'd forgotten to wake Stevie out of her
trance sleep and she had not woken him as she usually did.  Luckily
he had only an 11 o'clock appointment on that Friday morning. 
Even the emotionally distraught and the certifiably insane liked to
take long weekends.
     Nicole looked like she'd been to a beauty parlor before coming to
work. Her long fine auburn hair looked like she'd given it a thousand
strokes.  Her eyeliner and lipstick were more pronounced then
usual.  Her blouse showed a hint of cleavage and her black skirt was
short and skintight.  She looked like a fashion model.
     "Good morning, Alec."
     "Good morning, Nicole.  You are looking fine this morning."
     "I felt like wearing my club outfit today." Nicole said as she
walked around her desk, giving him a better view of her fishnet legs. 
"Do you like it?"
     "What do you think?" Alec said.  "Didn't your husband find it a
little strange that you'd be going to work dressed like this?"
     "He didn't even seem to notice. I think he may be taking me for
granted," Nicole admitted as she ran her hands up the lapels of his
jacket.
     "The man's a complete idiot," Alec said as he slid his hands
around Nicole's ass and pulled her against him.
     He knew where Nicole's sexual energy was coming from but he
didn't know where all his sexual desire was coming from.  Before his
trip to Europe, he'd maybe wanted to bed his wife twice a week.  But
now with his power to mold women to serve his every bidding, he
wanted to fuck morning, noon and night.
     'A man could have worse problems,' he mused as he started to
bring his mouth down on Nicole's.
     Suddenly the door to the suite opened and Dr. Heimler walked in. 
Nicole spun backward from Alec's embrace but Alec was sure the
old man had seen what was going on.  Nicole started to make
brushing motions on his lapels with her hands.
     "There, that got rid of it.  Good morning, Dr. Heimler!"  Nicole put
on her best face. "Dr. Thornton had some lint on his suit," she said
unconvincingly as she went back behind her desk.
     "Please Dr. Heimler, come into the office."  Alec motioned his
mentor through his office door and followed him in.  "I wasn't
expecting you this morning."
     "No, I was nearby and thought to drop in," Heimler said as he
sank down into the leather chair in front of Alec's desk.  "Next time I
will call ahead, of course."
     "Nonsense, you're always welcome," Thornton said as he went
behind his desk and sat down.  The old codger had seen them all
right.  Alec wasn't too worried.  The old man was a good friend and
trusted colleague.
     "I just stopped by to see how the new technique was working.
Have you used it yet in your treatments?"  Heimler asked as he
pulled a cigar out of his breastpocket.
     Thornton was about to make up something about Jasmine
Takagi's session. Maybe tell him he'd learned something about her
childhood or something.  But the lie died on his lips.  He suddenly
had an urge to tell his old friend about how he'd used the technique
on his wife.
     "Dr. Heimler, I've not used the technique in treatments yet. 
But.....I have used the technique.  What I mean to say is, I used it on
Stephana."
     Alec felt like a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.  He
had no thoughts about telling Heimler about Nicole. And definitely
not Jasmine.  Taking advantage of a patient like he had would mean
he'd be finished as a psychiatrist.  And he certainly would not say
anything about Lisa.  Sex with a minor, his stepdaughter.
     "On Stephana?  Whatever for?"  Heimler said as he leaned
forward.
     "Well, I hate to admit it but.....I wanted to change her."
     "Change her?  In what way?"
     Thornton hesitated, then pressed on. "I wanted to make her more
open to some things. Sexual things. Nothing weird, mind you.  Just
designed to heighten her enjoyment."
     The giant German sat back in his chair and pondered that for a
minute.   Finally he spoke.
     "Alec, I know I do not have to tell you that this could be construed
very poorly by others in our circles.  I know the temptation to use this
technique can be great in some.  It does not sound that you have
done anything to hurt Stephana.  I know you will use greater
restraint in the future, jah?"
     "Oh believe me, Doctor, I would never use it again outside of
legitimate treatments."
     "And I believe you, my boy!"  Heimler said as he stood and lit his
cigar. "I would not have pulled strings to get you into the Bern Clinic
if I thought you could not handle this new procedure.  Now I must be
off."
     Heimler made for the door in a cloud of blue smoke.  Thornton
saw his friend off and turned to Nicole who sat behind her desk with
a worried look on her pretty face.
     "Alec, I'm sorry.  Did Dr. Heimler see us?"
     "No. I don't think he did," Alec lied.  "I wouldn't worry about it.
Come on, let me see a smile.  That's better.  Listen, I feel bad about
missing the last Secretary's Day.  Why don't you make some lunch
reservations at that Thai restaurant, Pangaea, over at the Hilton. 
For two."
     "Really, Alec? That would be wonderful." Nicole beamed.
     "Make it for 1 PM."  Thornton said as he walked back into his
office.  He went behind his desk, picked up his phone and made an
outside call.
     "Yes, operator. The number for the downtown Hilton, please."
