It was never a good sign when he was too calm. “Tell me of your recent… endeavors. Anyone I know?” Her eyes grew wide. He usually hated the thought that he shared her with others. She’d been punished many times for mentioning it. “Ah… um… Mr. D, sir?” “Ah, yes, I heard his wife kicked him out of the bedroom.” He took her hand as he spoke and. She told me how she loved playing at being his whore, how devoted to each other they were and how they planned to marry the next year. Id be her bridesmaid if I wanted to be – of course I said yes.

I wasn't expecting that."The others crowded around him to try to get a look at what was inside the now open panel.
