She’d tried to sleep when Ryan had left but been unable to. He’d stirred something within her she’d never felt before. She was inexperienced in such things, still a virgin but she sensed it was something sexual. When he’d entered the room her nipples had puckered, pulling so tight that they’d suddenly chafed against the muslin gown Maggie had given her to wear. Her pussy had pulled and tingled and she’d actually felt its dampness against the bed sheets. Now she was wide awake thinking about him. There sure was a lot of noise coming from downstairs and along the hallway. Maybe she’d take a walk and that would make her sleepy. She got out of bed, grimaced because her body still ached, and slipped the robe around her. She’d have to buy herself some clothes for her pa’s funeral. Maybe Maggie had some work, so she could earn some money to pay for everything she needed. Gracie headed out of the room and down the hallway. She heard a girl giggling and then a man laughing. She made her way toward the source of the noise.
