"Alfred turned and grinned at me, "okay you make your point well, Englishman. I will tell her you said 'Hello' and then we will discuss your latest co...quest. Let's hope this one lasts longer than the last one hey?" She's not..." My words were drowned out by a particularly noisy burst of steam. I shrugged defeated. I apologised to Jenny. "Sorry about that, he assumes that every woman I bring here is a liaison. He's just a romantic at heart." That's okay, I rather like the thought myself."Shit.. Frankie pulled the door open, grabbed a bath robe wrapping herself in it, she let him in but continued with her ritual of getting ready, pulling the dress off the bed she went back into the bathroom, dried herself, put deodorant on and pulled the dress over her head.Rich just sat on the bed while she put her make up on, dried and straightened her hair, as she sat on the bed to put her sandals on, she felt Rich move behind her.Frankie didn’t really know why he had stayed in the room all that. ‘We can go over and clean up my place this weekend,’ he told her. ‘All right,’ Mary said. Matt took them out to dinner to celebrate his new family arrangement. When they returned home, they spent most of the evening talking about how much fun it was going to be for the three of them to be living as a family. Eventually, worn out from the day’s excitement, they went to bed. Mary and Matt made love again, but once more she insisted he spend the night in his own room. ‘Don’t look so upset. We’ll. “You picked your side, Mary, and it wasn’t mine. I really don’t know where we go from here. I love you, but that could just be the bond talking. I don’t trust that love any more than I trust your love for me. Even with the bond, I trust my feelings toward Amanda far more, and because of my love for her, I would never try to come between you two. Even without the bond, if it were just her and me, and us at odds, we’d be some kind of stuck.“I really hope that your feelings are true, because once.
