Chapter 9
Anna McComb had come to the very same conclusion. There was nothing wrong with wanting to get fucked. It was the most natural of responses, an idea that came back to her again and again. Naturalness was what she was seeking now, sitting on the couch, waiting for the introductions by Al, thighs spread invitingly for the visitors.
The man and woman Al had invited stood very still just inside the door, both pairs of eyes trained on the delightful pink cunt gaping wetly at them. The man, a tall slim, blond, hair stylishly long, chin forcefully square, dilated his nostrils in anticipation. From the intentness of his gaze, Anna knew that she had made a favorable impression.
His companion, dark-tressed beauty that she was, had also given signs that she, too, appreciated the sight of Anna's open cunt.
She was high-bosomed, wearing a silken sheath to allow freedom to her ample knockers, and the long slim legs that showed from her miniskirt were well-proportioned. Anna felt a twinge of envy grip her momentarily, then shrugged it off. She, too, had charms for men to drool over.
"Karl Stem, Jean Farmer, I'd like you to meet Anna McComb." There was a flicker of recognition in their eyes at the sound of her name. "My sister-in-law," he added.
Al, too, had recognized the sudden lust that had leaped into their eyes. He smiled at Anna and gave her a silent nod. She was making quite a hit with them, gathering from first impressions.
"A bit of a family affair, I see," murmured Jean. "I'm glad to meet you."
"Me, too," echoed Karl. "From the lovely sight I'm gazing at right now, I think we can dispense with preliminaries and get into something comfortable."
"Like bare skin," said Jean, a broad smile spreading across her face. She had lovely, even white teeth, and an alluring smile that accented her beauty. And she had dimples.
The newly arrived couple began to undress and before long stood naked before Anna's admiring eyes. It was now her turn to show her appreciation for a delicious sight, felt cunt deep, enough so that she was aware of the fluttering of her pussy.
Karl first caught her eye. She had been impressed by the bulge in his pants from the first moment, and knew that it portended a well-endowed man. As he slipped off his shorts, the last garment that he stripped from his body, she stared in amazement. His prick, long and marvelously straight, jutted for almost ten inches from beneath his flat belly. Her mouth made an ever so tiny 0 as she stared with eyes that devoured the sight, and she heaved a great sigh of joy at the anticipated joys the massive dong promised. Above it blond crotch hair curled in wanton disarray, like savage undergrowth at the base of a giant tree. Even his balls looked large, capable of spewing forth rivers of scalding jism. Anna looked forward to tasting his fuck juice.
Jean was a statuesque picture of female beauty, and Anna felt twinges of surprise that she was so attracted to the sight of the dark-tressed beauty. She had never supposed that any other woman could stir such feelings of desire as Jean did. It had always seemed to her a primitive urge, a bit corrupt or debased, her wanting to have sex with another woman. Now, to her credit she felt, she found Jean appealing in a very basic way, understanding as she did so why the female form was such a desirable object for the male animal. She was no lesbian, but she knew the strength of the need for sexual contact with Jean. The silk-smooth skin, and the dark patch of pussy fur sent a shimmer of heat through her body, coursing out from her own juicing cunt and spreading all over her body.
Al took off his robe, and that left only Anna still clothed. She remedied that situation very quickly. The four of them stood poised and hesitant for a moment, as though waiting for a starting gun, and then Anna, drawn by the stiff prick jutting at her from between Karl's white thighs, moaned and took one tentative step towards him. It was the action that spurred them all on, driving Karl at her in reciprocal fashion, a fiery lust burning in his eyes, twin to her own passionate look.
Al turned to Jean, and before long they had toppled to the floor, his mouth seeking out the intimate places of her supple flesh, drawing tiny little moans from her slightly open mouth.
Anna dropped to her knees, and motioned Karl to the couch. She longed to taste his throbbing cock.
The hard rod swayed as he walked, beckoning at her with the purpled cock head, swollen with blood pulsing to it from one long vein that trailed along the underside of his dick.
"You have a beautiful cock," she whispered as he sat down.
"Thank you. But to me your winking snatch is the most gorgeous sight in the world."
He situated himself on the edge of the couch, so that his balls hung below the edge. The stiff shaft was immense, even longer than Al's, and the cock head had swollen into a miniature fist that frightened her with its size.
"I'm glad to see that you're not a timid woman, Anna," said Karl, gazing down into her angelic face. It fairly glowed as she stared at his huge rod, her tongue flicking her lips with saliva in anticipation.
"Timid women get fewer dicks than those who are not so timid."
"And you like dick?"
She puckered her lips and blew ever so gently across the cock head with her hot breath.
"I love it."
She bent forward and laved the thick cock head until it sparkled with spit. Then she licked the shaft until she was at its base. Her tongue warbled along the area where his cock joined to his body, flicking in snakelike snaps of her tongue, and then she traced the long blue vein along the soft underside of his powerful prong.
The sac of balls hung loosely between his legs, and she traced the outline of them with her tongue before she slipped one of them into her eager mouth.
"That's it! Oh, baby, you're going to be something. Suck my balls!"
She was glad to oblige. She held back her teeth and swirled frantically around the soft nut, her tongue searching every inch of the bag holding it. It was like a very precious jewel that had to be handled with care, because it was so fragile. She did not want to hurt him, and was very careful with his ball. She could tell from his moans that he appreciated her care.
"Lick it, baby. Your tongue's really hot."
Letting his nut slip from her lips' grasp, she lifted his balls and licked the area behind them. Tiny little hairs irritated her momentarily, and then were just another aspect of her enjoyment as they became wet from her saliva. Several times she flicked her tongue across the sensitive strip of flesh between his dick and asshole, and tiny intakes of breath from Karl told her of how tantalizing it was to him.
"Am I doing this right?" she teased him.
He groaned. "Just right. Keep that wonderful mouth of yours going. It keeps sending electric shivers through me when your lips touch me."
She smiled. It was good to feel that she had brought him pleasure. A woman should bring pleasure to her man, so that he might release his full potential, whether that took expression in cunt-lapping or just good hard fucking.
Karl had lain back on the couch and lifted his ass invitingly as she pursued her exciting actions. She let her tongue trail where his ass cheeks met, feinting towards his winking asshole. He moaned and lurched forward, so that for one brief instant the rough surface of her tongue was in fleeting contact with his soft bung.
"Ah, that's it. Lick my ass, will you, Anna?"
He had turned himself sideways as he said this, in order to afford her a better angle for her tonguing.
Anna paused, wary of what he asked. His ass was held up to her, and she could see the brown outer flesh of his asshole. Could she put her tongue in there? Did she really want to?
Then she remembered how she had felt earlier when Al had sucked her ass, and thought that it only fair that she give Karl the same treat. She knew he would appreciate getting his bung reamed as much as she had. His straining expectant ass told her how much he wanted it.
"Anything to oblige a man with a cock like yours."
Karl twisted his head around and stared back at her.
"You won't regret it. I'll give you a multiple climax."
Anna's cunt twitched at the sound of Karl's voice promising her huskily not merely one orgasm but many. She had no doubt from the size of his dick that he would do just that-prong her through many an orgasm.
From the corner of her eye she saw Jean and Al locked in a sixty-nine, Al eating Jean's cunt, while Jean returned the favor by sucking greedily on his cock. Anna might try that later, but right now she had an ass to eat out, and she decided to get at it.
She bent towards the white butt jutting up at her face, the pallid ass cheeks split by the gaping crack. She licked each cheek in languid circles. She knew enough not to plunge her tongue immediately up the tight bung. What she intended was to build up his excitement to a fever pitch where he would be begging her to use her tongue in his asshole.
"That's good," he told her. "Now you're doing it. I love getting my ass tongued."
The hot tongue surging across his ass, winding about it in concentric circles that skirted the very edge of his ass crack, yet never managing to find the pulsating bung, had almost driven him out of his mind. Anna felt his body trembling as the passionate pleasure swarmed over him.
Anna was surprised. She had expected Karl to be so very sophisticated that he would take the ass-licking as though it were a rather mundane opening to their sexual experiences. Yet here he was obviously overcome by the thrill of it all. It pleased her to know that she was affecting him so.
"Everything all right, Karl?" she asked.
"Fine."
She gripped his ass cheeks, and spread them even wider. As her mouth licked up and down his crack, Karl began to wriggle. She reached up under him and gripped his rock-hard prick, and began to stroke it in time with her tongue action at his butt.
Karl calmed enough for Anna's mouth to find his tight brownie and lick around the taut sphincter ring. Then with a diving thrust she poked her tongue into his asshole. The invasion sent him back to quivering as the emotion overcame him. His head rolled from side to side, and he brought his hands back and pulled his ass cheeks apart even more. Anna marveled at the effect the reaming was having on him.
"Suck my ass, that's all I want," he begged. "Eat my bunghole out!"
Anna continued to explore his asshole with her tongue, while keeping up the steady action at his prick with her hand. She could tell from the movement of his balls that before long he would be reaching climax. They had begun to tighten and draw upwards in the scrotum.
"Lick my asshole! Stick your tongue all the way up in my bung! I want to feel it in me, baby," he moaned.
She began to space out her jabs with her tongue. Instead of short, quick darts into his asshole, she stiffened her tongue and shoved it fully up into his aging bung, letting her lips lock tightly to his brownie. Then she would blow up into his butt with her hot breath, letting it add even more to the pleasure he was experiencing. As she would withdraw her mouth, the breath would whoosh out until her stabbing tongue trapped it back in the insides of his butt.
Even so Karl was rapidly moving toward a climax. She did not want him to waste his cock cream by shooting it into her hand. It was her intention to have her mouth take the hot load of jizz when it came.
She pulled her mouth out of his asshole, and patted his ass cheeks.
"Roll over, Karl. I want to eat your prick, baby."
Karl was only too happy to oblige. He was taken by Anna's tonguing at his asshole, and really wanted her to taste his stiff rod. Like her, he knew that he had become so excited by the ass-sucking that he was about to blow his nuts, and he was glad she wanted to take the cum in her mouth. He always got a double charge when he could find a woman who would not only eat his prick but who liked the taste of sperm.
Anna let her mouth slide over his cock head. She grasped it tightly with her lips, sucking it with vigor.
"Eat my dick!" he pleaded. "Eat me! Suck all my jizz!"
He moaned when she stabbed one finger up his asshole, while sucking his cock at the same time. Her lips pulled tightly on the taut cock head, creating a built-up suction that brought Karl closer and closer to the moment of release when he would empty his balls in Anna's waiting mouth.
He was up on his haunches once again, his hands resting lightly on the back of her neck. She eased herself to a sitting position at his feet, her legs spread while she gulped at his prick.
"Eat me!" he panted. "Eat Karl's sweet-tasting dick!"
He was right. His dick was sweet-tasting. Her head movements became faster and faster, as she took more and more of the bulging cock in her mouth. Already it had begun to hit at the back of her throat, and yet there was still more than a third of the big prick shaft left, it seemed to her.
She would just have to deep throat him, taking the meaty cock head and letting it plunge down into the soft tissues of her throat. She didn't mind really; in fact, the thought of it rather excited her even more. She saw it as a source of pride that she was able to take all of a man's dong in her mouth and throat. That was the sign of being a real woman.
As she struggled to accommodate the huge cock in her mouth, she became aware of something at her cunt. She twisted her head so that she could catch a partial glimpse of whatever it was, and was astounded to find that it was Karl's foot, the large toe rubbing her puffy slit tenderly.
My cunt flesh must be hot to his skin, she thought. She knew that her twat was gushing hot juice as it always did whenever she got aroused. And there was very little question that sucking Karl's ass and then his fat dick had gotten her aroused.
Then as Anna let the final inches of Karl's huge cock slip down her throat, feeling herself gorged with his tasty prick, Karl responded by shoving his big toe into her dripping cunt.
She sucked in her breath in surprise, which served to add immeasurably to Karl's pleasure. So much so in fact that the dramatic suction brought on by her sudden inhalation was enough to trigger his balls.
It caught Anna by surprise, and she felt the first load of cream thud against her throat's inner flesh. She could not taste it with his dick so deep in her throat, and she quickly backed the throbbing cock out until only the sleek cock head was in her mouth.
Thus she was ready to take the second load of fuck juice on her tongue. It was a heady, salty taste, and she breathed in the odor of his prick and balls while she lapped the cock cream. She sucked on his prick while he emptied every last drop of cum into her eager mouth, and she continued sucking his dong even after he had finished, as though she might draw even more of the jism from his nuts.
"Anna, you can eat my prick anytime you want."
Anna let his limp cock slip from her mouth. She placed her head on one of his knees, her mind quickly leaving the image of his cock, and concentrating on his slick toe which was plunging into her cunt. She took her hands and gripped his ankle, trying to force his toe deeper into her pussy, or at least hold it to the swollen clitoris which it was massaging.
"Lay back, baby," he told her.
Anna lay back, drawing her legs up into an inverted vee, her fingers still locked about his ankle. He pummeled her blood-engorged cunt lips with his toe and she hunched back at it in quickening response.
With his other foot he was massaging her taut-tipped titties, the flesh of her belly quivering as it was entrapped between the two pumping feet.
"Oh, Karl," she moaned. "Fuck me with your toe! I didn't think anything like this could happen."
He continued toeing her clit for a few more minutes, then withdrew and moved himself between her legs. His mouth went to her gaping gash, already red from the insertion of his toe, and she thrust her crotch up to meet his lips. He pressed his mouth to her oozing box, lapping vertically along the rosy slit with the flat of his tongue, before darting into the inside of her gushing cunt with the hot tip of his tongue.
"Ahhh, my clit! Suck my clit! My cunt is on fire!"
Karl's lips dipped into the dripping pussy, and speared her erect clitoris, so that he could now add sucking to his lapping. Anna strained upward, her back arching, and Karl took the opportunity to grip her squirming ass, one cheek in each hand. He squeezed them and pulled her crotch to him, soothing her fire by blowing into her cunt. His mouth made such a tight seal that none of the air he blew into her cunt could escape. Anna felt as though her cunt was a balloon being blown up; the silken-sheathed walls of her pliant cunt hole began to expand as the hot air was forced into her puffy slit. It seemed as though her pussy was filled to capacity, and still he blew into her hot hole.
"AHHHH!" she squealed. Her legs had draped themselves over Karl's shoulders. She opened her eyes, and saw that both Al and Jean had taken an interest in the muff-diving scene, and their eyes were trained on Karl and her.
But she could not concentrate on them for long. There was too much going on in her cunt. She kneaded her titties while Karl blew into her twat, and rolled her head from side to side.
Then Karl released the seal, and withdrew his mouth. Her pussy responded by fluttering wildly as the air escaped, making a loud farting noise. She was surprised to find that it tickled her, and she laughed from not only that but from the sheer joy of being here with these three people, and enjoying herself so completely.
Karl sat back on his haunches and smiled down at her.
"You're something else, Anna. From the way Al talked, you were a novice as far as lovemaking techniques were concerned, and maybe a little shy, but from what I've seen, you'll make quite an extraordinary lover someday. You're certainly above average right now:"
"Thanks, Karl, but my pussy is still steaming, and I'd sure like to feel your tongue a little more, and then that fat dick of yours. Do you suppose you can do that?"
She was staring at his prick, which had already become erect again, even after she had so effectively milked it earlier.
"Hey, you two," floated Jean's voice to her. "Do you mind if we join the action? It's a shame to have four of us here and not make use of some combinations."
Anna looked up from her prone position. Jean stood above her, and the shiny wetness of her hair-fringed cunt mound looked awfully appetizing.
Combinations, was what Jean had said; three or more people enjoying one another sexually at the same time. That would be a new thrill for Anna. She had done anything but straight fucking in all her life.
"I'm willing, if everybody else is. What sort of, uh, combination did you have in mind?" Whatever it was, she wanted a dick in her pussy before long. She was still a bit tight from not having achieved an orgasm while Karl toed and sucked her cunt.
"Well, we thought we'd leave it up to you. The three of us have sampled each other in about all the ways possible. What do you say?"
Anna nodded.
"That sounds fine to me. I'll tell you right now that I want to feel Karl's dick in my cunt."
Jean chuckled.
"I sure know what you mean. He'll make that prong sing a love song in your pussy. Now who else would you like and what would you like them to do?"
"Well, I've already tasted Al's dick, but I've never eaten another woman's pussy. I think I'd like to sample your lovely snatch. Would that offend you?"
"Lord no, I'm quite flattered by it. Later on I'll eat your box in return. I think you'll find that women eat pussy a little different than men do."
Anna looked at Al. "I feel guilty, knowing Al won't be involved."
Al shook his head. "Never mind," he said, "I'll enjoy watching."
Jean snapped her fingers.
"Listen, I know a way that Al can get in this. Since Karl will be busy fucking your pussy, and I'll have my cunt on your face, there is one other place that Al can go."
"Of course!" said Anna. "My ass! That'll be like old home week for Al. We're already friends down there."
The four of them laughed, and exchanged various looks of understanding with each other.
"Well, shall we get to our stations, gentlemen?" murmured Jean. "Al, I guess you'll go first."
Anna turned over and got to her hands and knees. Al got behind her, slipped his cock into her cunt and gave three quick thrusts, just enough to lubricate his prick. Then he touched the cock head to her asshole and drove forward.
There was nothing like the pain she had felt earlier just a moment of discomfort until the swollen cock-tip had passed the first ring-and then merely a filled feeling.
Gently then Al carried her with him as he lay on his back. Then Karl positioned himself between her legs and inserted his dong into her liquid twat, well-lubricated with her cunt juices which had mingled with the saliva from Karl's sucking.
Then the three of them, locked together, rolled over on their sides, and Jean got herself situated so that Anna might have access to her cunt.
"Everybody ready?"
There was mutual agreement.
"You ready, Anna?" asked Jean.
Anna breathed a deep sigh. "God, yes! Get those dicks moving. And bring that pussy closer!"
It was much more than Anna had expected. As the twin cocks filling her cunt and asshole began to move, it went beyond her expectations, to the realm of the near impossible. She could not believe that anything could feel like this. It was so good, the sharpest pleasure she had ever experienced, and she was elated by the double-fuck.
Both men began fucking her with ardor, and she tried to concentrate on clamping down on the two hard cocks while they thrust their way in and out of her cunt and asshole. She could feel them striking the membrane that separated her pussy from her ass, and as the stiff cocks struck it, she wondered that they did not pierce it and meet, cock head to cock head.
She had almost forgotten Jean in the first few moments of the thrilling experience of getting screwed by two cocks at the same time. But there before her eyes stood the hair-fringed pink cunt hole, reminding her of what she had wanted to do.
She reached out and pulled Jean to her, gripping her smooth ass cheeks and pulling her horny snatch towards her. Jean responded by sliding along the carpet to her, and seconds later Anna pressed her mouth to the gaping hole.
It was a strange feeling, tasting another woman's twat. She would have liked sometime to concentrate on just savoring the pungent odor, and salty fuck foam that had gathered on the cunt flesh. But right now she could hardly find even a moment's respite, what with sucking Jean's cunt, having Al's savage rod reaming her shitter, and Karl's dong pulsating in her pussy. It was very hard to think straight.
Anna was being flooded by intense spasms of pleasure. They shuddered through her with ever-increasing magnitude, like concentric circles of titillation expanding outward from cunt and asshole, overlapping one another as they touched.
Blackness swept over her as the intensity of getting both her cunt and ass plugged by two hard cocks brought every nerve fiber alive, so that each and every touch only served to skyrocket her excitement ever higher.
Then she brought herself back from the brink of unconsciousness, realized that Jean's pussy was writhing at her face, and jabbed her tongue into the soggy box. She felt the stiffened clit on her first plunge, and diddled it with her tongue. Jean grasped her head and tried to pull her closer, and Anna reached behind to take a firmer grip on her ass cheeks. She was surprised to find that Karl was licking Jean's heaving butt, and she spread Jean's buns so that he might have better access to her winking asshole.
Jean screamed when she felt Karl's tongue jab into her asshole, while Anna sucked her clit, taking the joy button in her lips and chewing on it. Overcome by the unexpectedness of Karl's bung-tonguing, she gushed profusely, and Anna drank appreciatively of the hot, heavy flow from her juicing box.
On the heels of Jean's orgasm came the twin-barreled explosion of Al in her shitter, and Karl in her dick-stuffed twat. She felt the scalding cum striking the walls of her ass and cunt, flooding her with the sex seed. The thrilling impact was enough to bring about Anna's own shuddering orgasm, a climax that was the most intense she had ever experienced. She loved having two cocks pumping their loads in her at the same time, and wondered what it would have been like had she had a third dick in her mouth and had her throat filled with fuck juice while the other two pricks shot off in her cunt and ass.
"Well, how did you like it?" queried Al. He nibbled Anna's ear as they lay, letting the warmth spread over all of them as they lay intimately entangled.
"Super fucking. And Jean's cunt tasted very good. I hope I wasn't too bad, Jean. It was my first try at eating a pussy."
Jean disengaged herself and drew up her knees to her tits. "You were fine. I like to think that being bisexual brings about more possibilities for pleasure than just going one way. I've been AC-DC for a long time."
Anna nodded. "I'm inclined to agree. My one problem was overcoming all the terrible stories about the dirtiness of sex which I heard when I was a child. But now I think I've thrown off all my sexual shackles. Thanks to all of you, I feel more in command of myself than I ever have."
"Karl and I used to be locked in a situation that threatened to tear us apart," offered Jean. "When we first married-"
"You two are married?" gasped Anna.
"Of course," answered Karl, "Have been now for ten years. But Jean's right. When we first got married, I wasn't sure it would ever last."
"You see," said Jean, "we both enjoy sex with each other. But, well, we like other people. It adds variety, and often makes me appreciate Karl's lovemaking even more. And we sometimes learn new things to try with one another."
"Well, while you folks are swapping stories, I think I'll mosey on down to Ramon's on the third floor, and borrow his new fuck film. He says it's really something." Al rose and started into the bedroom to dress.
"Sounds like a great idea. The last one was pretty good," said Karl.
Jean laughed. "You should have seen the wang on one of those guys. He was hung like a goddamn horse, made me envious of that girl. It must have been twelve inches or more."
"Damn, you're making me feel bad," mocked Karl, grinning as he spoke.
Already his prick had begun to rise again. The brief rest had provided him with enough time to get a hard-on going, and the shaft looked ready for some fuck action.
"Well, how about the three of us doing a little exploring?" asked Jean. "I'd like to feel my husband's cock in my cunt. Now that we've got Anna initiated, we'll share you men."
"Sounds good," agreed Anna.
"How do you want me, darling?" asked Karl.
"Why don't you just lay back and Anna and I'll do all the work. You think you can last long enough to prong Anna to a climax, and then me to one before you blow your nuts again?"
"Sure. Anytime you're ready."
Karl lay back, and the two women stared raptly at his jutting pole.
"We're ready," they said in unison.
Jean motioned for Anna to come with her. "We'll give him just a little head, together. Then you fuck him first, and I'll finish him off. Okay?" Anna agreed.
They both began to lick his prick, each working up and down the length of one side, their mouths meeting briefly as they topped the luscious crown.
"Stick your tongue in Anna's mouth, Jean," suggested Karl.
They were both laving the swollen cock-tip, and Jean stuck her tongue around the stiff meat. Anna gladly took it, and divided her attention between sucking Jean's tongue and licking Karl's prick.
For quite some time they shared the dick, licking and sucking each other's tongues as much as the spit-slick rod.
Jean finally relinquished the prong to Anna.
"Ride him, Anna. Fuck him till you climax. I'll be so horny hot by then, that it won't take me long to climax. Meanwhile, Karl can tongue-fuck my cunt while you ride his cock."
Anna reluctantly drew her lips from the massive dong, and straddled his crotch. She reached down to take his regal rod in her hand, and brought it to her cunt mouth. Her box was still so slippery from all the fucking she had done that there was only the slightest of hesitations before she had positioned the flared cock head and eased it into her sex channel.
When she had all the stiff cock in her cunt, she rocked back and forth on it, feeling the tool stiffen even more, and then began to lift her ass and hump back down on the big dong.
Jean meanwhile had put her pussy in Karl's face and he was licking around the outer cunt lips while Anna fucked her pink cuntal sheath up and down on his powerful pecker.
Al came out of the bedroom, dressed in sports shirt and slacks.
"Well, I see that you found something to share besides life stories," he said, grinning.
Anna looked at him through lust-glazed eyes, all of her attention on the hard dong reaming in and out of her cunt.
Jean, too, was silent, her hands braced on Karl's chest, her butt circling over the thick tongue darting in and out of her raging snatch. Karl could not speak, since his mouth was completely covered by Jean's hairy pussy.
Al walked past them. Anna watched him go. She saw him pause at the door, swing it open, pause as though he had forgotten something.
In that instant, the door stood gaped wide, so that anyone outside in the hallway could see into the room.
She gasped as she realized that there was a man and a woman in the hallway. The woman, a slim young blonde, turned to face them, and Anna was about to yell at Al to close the door when she recognized the young girl, who had by now whirled completely and faced them.
Anna found herself staring into the surprised eyes of her daughter.
