Actually, I’m kind of rich, with assets and cash in the low eight figures. So spend what you want, baby. We can afford it.”She had stopped, her mo...th hanging open. Then she stuck her hand out. “Credit card, and some cash. I expect to spend a lot, and I want to tip well.” I gave her the card, and two hundred in fifties and twenties.She surged forward, waving the card like a saber. Into the breech! I hoped I hadn’t created a monster. The boutique paled on me pretty fast. Nat was all right because. After a few seconds of gently rubbing her big belly a look of panic spreadacross her face. ?What the fuck did I just say?! What is happening tome...??Iris looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, holding herself up by theedge of the counter. ?This has got to be a dream. None of this is real...?Just then, she heard the door to the apartment open. She peeked her headout of the door and saw her roommate, Nicolas was home from his classes.?Oh shit, he can't see me like this...? she thought as she. .. Let's see ... how about if we do it this way... ?" And I laid the mattress pads crosswise to the direction of the bedroll. "That way, we won't have the split in the mattresses."After we had closed the light and crawled under the covers, Jill snuggled up to me and settled her head on my shoulder, between my arm and my chest. With her free hand, she lightly turned my head towards her and said "Have I told you lately that you are the most amazing, gentlest ... sweetest guy I've ever met?" And. .. it was over. Jessica opened her eyes and gazed at the cup as she pulled it from her lips. It was a dark obsidian goblet with gnarled talons, fanged beasts and bones adorning it from top to bottom. Her breath caught in her throat as she lowered it. The angel was gone.Jessica shrieked and dropped the twisted chalice. It rolled off her bed and skidded across the stone floor with a series of audible clinks. It came to a stop near a pair of high heeled leather boots. Above them, bright red flesh.
