"Hi, yourself," I replied."Ready for some fun?" he asked."Always," I said with a giggle."Right, put on a pair of thong knics, that wrap around blue sk...rt that I like and that semi-transparent blouse and I'll pick you up in fifteen minutes," he ordered."Ok," I agreed and giggled again.I rushed to find the things he had mentioned and I was just finishing buttoning up my blouse when he beeped his horn."Hi, babe," he said and leaned over and kissed my exposed neck.His mouth found mine and we kissed. I may not be alone." OK," he said with a tired resignation.He had learned to accept Renee's sexual appetite but that didn't mean he had to like it. Sometimes Renee would find someone, like Maria, who could maintain her interest over several weeks, but most of her lovers were one night stands and Martin especially disliked the way they were simply discarded when she grew tired of them. He was aware that her love for him did not equal his for her and he sometimes felt both guilty and troubled in. I knew it wasn't the medicine. It was the relief from guilt."There's something else," Carol said. "Something even Marilyn doesn't know." I'd never seen here look so conflicted and guilty. Marilyn saw it, too, and her eyes cut to me. We waited for Carol to continue."I love you, Jim," Carol said with gut-wrenching honesty. She looked away and we waited on her again. When she looked back at me, her eyes were wanton and challenging. "When we decided to have children, I went off the pill," she. You're to hunt down the chhetri and kill him."He schooled his features to keep the shock off his face. He hadn't expected her to order the chhetri's death. He knew why she was angry. He'd received a call from Silva's advisor, Josja before she had arrived. The man seemed to enjoy tormenting him. Josja knew in her anger, Silva would be more brutal and easier to provoke into lashing out at her pleasurer. In fact Josja lived for the rare times Kurlack failed because he knew Silva would hand him.
