I remember

What are you doing today?

I’m at work. You?

Same. But I’m free for dinner, if that’s not too forward.

I should be…I have to see if I can ditch my new roommate, though. He’s a bit of an ogre.

Oh no, that’s terrible. But also, it sort of sounds like you have a crush on this guy.

How did you get that from “he’s a bit of an ogre”?

Reading between the lines

He won’t have sex with me, though

Ah, a stupid ogre

Not stupid… just principled

And what do you think about those principles today?

He’s actually pretty smart… I think I’m going to have dinner with you, and then I’m going to sleep with him tonight, but we’re both going to have to wear old-fashioned, buttoned-up-to-the-neck pajamas

I assume she’s joking.

But then I get a heads-up from my chauffeur that she heads out at lunch for a quick shopping trip, and when she returns, she’s carrying a department store bag.

Willa

Can’t hang out after work, I’m having dinner with a hot guy I hooked up with a few months ago. But once I get back from dinner with him, I have something special to show you.

I laugh and go along with her joke.

Roman

Who is this other guy? Can I murder him for bloodsport in front of you?

Willa

Sadly, no. While you are a giant ogre, he is even bigger than you…in every way.

Sounds like his massive cock will slow him down. I bet I can take him.

You’ll never meet him, unfortunately. Gotta go! Work calls. Oh, I hope you like thick flannel.

Definitely not joking.

Chapter 19

Willa

Roman picksme up from work again.

“People are going to talk,” I point out as we wait for the elevator.

He just shrugs. “I don’t want you to be a secret.”
