He nods, then eyes me suspiciously. “Why?”
“It’s nice to see you serious. You’re so often ... not.”
Jarra sits, but in the next moment he hauls me toward him until I flop onto the bed on my back with my legs in the air. “I’m serious about two things,” he tells me. “Monster rights and giving this delicious pussy the licking it deserves.”
I laugh and groan when his long tongue goes to work on me again. Pretty soon I’m coming for him with my legs somehow hooked over his horns.
When he eventually takes me home, I feel like a naughty teenager sneaking into my bedroom after being out with my boyfriend while everyone else sleeps.
Only this time, I’m pretty certain I’ve made a much better choice of boyfriend.
TWENTY TWO

Stuart: Ms Karas, I hate to bother you, but we need to find a time to meet
I scowl at my phone. That’s the third message he’s sent me this morning. Sunday morning, for God’s sake!
Mel: sure. Like I said, finding a time is tricky. Maybe a phone call would be easier
Stuart: if you absolutely cannot make a time, then I will call. Of course it’s always best if we meet in person
Mel: how about you call at 2?
The kids will probably be distracted by then, and it’s probably the best chance I’ve got for an actual conversation. I wish he’d just send me the brief. Jarra says he has some questions for me though, but he wasn’t sure what they were.
I remind myself again Jarra is worth it. The stuff with the election is only temporary. He assured me things will settle down after and we can be a lot more private.
I am nervous about media attention, but that’s one of the things Stuart is supposed to help with. He’s supposed to give me things to say and tell me how I should act.
I hope Jarra hasn’t made a big mistake.
“Mom, where’s the paint?” Elsa calls from the other room.
I hurry in to find her standing on a chair reaching for the top shelf in the cupboard where she knows I keep the paint so Damian can’t get to it. We’re back at our apartment. After a week and a half of no contact from James, I figured it was safe enough. The lawyer said he’s filed a temporary restraining order and if James turns up I can just call 911.
