I swatted his hands away. “Stop. Later. At my house, after dinner.”
“Eight times?” He bent down and nibbled my ear.
“Twelve,” I promised him.
“Sylvie?” Glenda banged on the door again.
“Coming!” I shouted.
“I wish,” Eshu muttered.
I pushed around him, opening the door and giving Glenda a weak smile. “Done. It’s all yours,” I told her.
“We werenotdone,” Eshu announced. “You could have held your urine for quite a bit longer.”
Glenda’s eyebrows went up and she bit back a smile. “So…I take it this demon is staying for dinner?”
I sucked in a breath, ready to tell her that yes, Eshu was staying, and that it wasn’t anyone’s business what we were doing in our free time as I was an adult who was almost thirty and perfectly capable of deciding what relationships I wanted to have with whom.
“Good.” Glenda chuckled. “I like him. I think we need him in this family.”
Eshu puffed his chest out at her words.
“He’s…we’re just friends,” I sputtered.
Glenda nodded knowingly. “Well, your aura says otherwise. Now get out of this bathroom so I can pee.”
