Robert had warned me that the business was personal. We understood one another well now. I had helped him to manage Elizabeth's affairs, grateful that...her curious pick up should be willing to take an interest in the mess that she and Andrew had managed to create. I suppose I patronised him at first, but he never held it against me. He learned quickly and we were soon partners and then friends. His drive and ability were amazing, un-blunted by the twenty years of drifting since he left school.It. It wasn’t like I was going to marry Ms. Bliss, but she was mine. I owned her. Now, this other man was going to try to take her away from me?Not happening.“That’s a cute little rock. At least he could have gotten something you could see without a magnifying glass.” I snarled.“Carter, I love him.” Ms. Bliss started.“You also love my cock and you fucking know it.” I shot back, rubbing my crotch again.“Carter. Please. Please don’t do this. Please don’t do this.” She begged.“I’m not doing anything.. . no. I'm not far." Would you like to come back?" April sounded both shy and determined. Her voice shook, but she didn't sound tentative."I would love to. Are you sure you want me to?" Well... we could talk."Laura smiled. And we could fuck, she thought. "I'd love to talk," she said. "Should I come back?" Yes. I'll see you in a few minutes."When Laura got back to April's apartment, she noticed one thing that was different. April smiled nervously and let her in. She was still wearing the same tee. She was just about to remark upon that when an arrow flew just over her shoulder. Behind her she heard a loud clinking sound followed by an angry roar.‘I suppose I couldn’t be blamed for screaming,’ she thought to herself and did just that as she was knocked to the ground, a great shadow falling over her. Above her was a mighty beast, it’s teeth bared as it growled so loudly that the very air seemed to vibrate. As for the Centaur, it simply turned tail and fled. From where she lay, Alice.
