Her face was slightly flushed, and she looked around, I grinned, “Oh Jimmy’s just taking a shower, he’ll be out soon” I said. She flushed even...more, “Oh I wasn’t..” she spluttered, then laughed, “Damn it, yes I was, but I’m glad we have time alone, you see, I wasn’t at all sure about tonight, not sure if…well, with the others…you know, so I thought, if I came early, perhaps….oh god, what am I trying to say?” I took her hand and led her over to the couch and sat her down and sat down alongside. The night lights of town sparkled off the skyscrapers, and little headlights could be seen moving about the streets. The window was cold to the touch. No surprise. Snow blanketed the trees and sidewalks, and everything looked very peaceful.Man's city glowed like a gem in the night air. Its radiant peace was a sharp contrast to the shrill sound of voices busily going about Bureau business. Phones were ringing incessantly in the distance, angrily waiting to be answered.I would have to go out. For his part David was definitely interested in meeting her again, as he had high hopes of ‘having his wicked way with her’. There had only been one woman in his bed, and one over his desk, since his wife fell ill three and a half years ago, and his bedmate had moved away from the area with her husband some weeks earlier. For some reason he found this apparently submissive woman who was obviously going through a hard time totally irresistible. Perhaps it was the challenge of stealing her from. Why not stay with her, I asked myself. We wouldn’t have gotten any sleep was my answer. There would be a full day of wedding related activities, we both would need the rest. I managed a few hours of sleep at Lana’s house before she burst into my room. ‘Wake up stud,’ Lana chirped. Rubbing my eyes I asked, ‘What time is it?’ ‘Time for you to get your ass out of bed.’ ‘No, really what time is it?’ I sat up. ‘Eleven thirty,’ she said looking at her watch. ‘Oh shit, Lesley!’ I said scrambling to.
