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.”
