"Eh," said Irulan. "It'll do in a pinch."
"Yeah, it will," I agreed as I wrapped my free hand into her hair urging her face down to mine, so I could capture her lips and... Well, you know the rest.

One would think that I'd have loads of extra time on my hands since I’m not working at the CMS. I have more than enough to keep me occupied - new powers to master, an entire branch of family to get acquainted with, Fomori court etiquette to learn, not to mention a ward to take care of now. The V.C. has permanently placed David under my tutelage against their better judgment.
To no one's surprise, Descantes abandoned his position in Charleston. No one had seen hide nor hair of him for days. My father had Trumaine Enterprises security teams stretched thin following every possible lead to his whereabouts. So far, they'd only run into dead ends, but I know we haven't seen the last of him.
Yeah, I had more than enough going on to keep me on my toes, but I wasn't going to get anything accomplished if Irulan and I couldn't find our way out of bed. I could certainly think of worse ways to be held up.
Till next time…
