The EMTs got her stabilized and headed to the hospital with her. It was the last time he had seen her. There was no whisper of a rumour about her after that. He had forgotten about her. Now, she was all he could think about.

Polly watched Aggie switch into hostess mode and knew that she was upset. Polly just sighed and cuddled with Minoru.
Loki came by and grinned. “So, she and the troll are a match.”
“She doesn’t look happy about it.”
“She has work to do.” Loki shrugged. “She’s a work-first kind of girl.”
Aggie walked past the conversation. “She is an adult, furball. Not a girl.”
Loki blinked and grinned.
The rest of the night went by quickly, and when Minoru led Polly to his car, he turned to Loki. “Thanks for helping with the arrangements. She had fun.”
Polly waved at Bill. “Thanks for bringing out the special collection. It was hilarious.”
Bill nodded. “You ladies did it justice, even if it was too cute for words.”
She beamed and headed into the car. Minoru followed and sighed as they drove off toward home.
“Well, I am glad that you enjoyed yourself.”
She laughed. “It was appalling, wasn’t it? I couldn’t resist. All those anime theme songs and we were dressed for it, after all.”
He chuckled, and they held hands as they headed home.
Jiji greeted them and placed on Minoru’s shoulder. He rode proudly through the house as they tiptoed so they wouldn’t wake Nari.
He helped her get her gauzy robes off, and then he knelt and rolled down the thigh-high stockings, kissing the inside of her thigh until she was pushing his head away from the shine around her sex. He swept her off her feet and applied his mouth to her, and a good night became a great night.
Chapter Ten
The day of the wedding, Polly was stunned. They were taking early morning photos in the different outfits that Minoru insisted she wear. The first kimono was white; there was a white silk hat over her hairpiece. The stack of boxes in the bridal suite made her nervous. There was even the box markedWeddingthat she still hadn’t opened. It was at the bottom of the pile.
Minoru took her hand and led her through the gardens that Liirel and Kell had prepared. A pathway lined with cherry trees in full blossom was set up for them, including an archway. Alexi was grinning, and his mates were nearby holding equipment as he gave them concise orders on how to pose.
There were the formal pictures, then the more relaxed poses, and finally, Minoru picked her up and held her even with his face while they kissed.
He ended up wearing some of her lip colour, and she rubbed it away with her thumb. She smiled at the flashback, and he grinned. After that, the rituals began.
Her makeup was fixed, and she and Minoru knelt and sipped sake from the same spot on three different cups. They were then given a blessing by his parents, and Nari stood in for Polly.
There was a wardrobe change, and she put on the ogre kimono while she and Minoru sat in the receiving hall and greeted their guests. Photos were taken, and Minoru fed her.
At the two-hour mark, the business associates took their leave. When someone named Jack came up, he nodded, and his mate bowed.
Polly looked at Luna. “You are part of the book club.”
Luna smiled. “I am. I see you didn’t need our assistance.”
“No, but I would like to keep you in mind if I run into anyone who needs it.”
Luna grinned and handed her a business card.
When Polly stuck her hand out of her sleeve, her long and deadly black nails were obvious. She took the card between her fingers and smiled at Luna’s grin. “I have a giant snowflake embossed on my back.”
