Jean-Claude gave that Gallic shrug again, that meant yes, no, everything, and nothing. «As you like,» he said.
«You just fuck Anita, too.» She'd turned back to Jason.
He smiled, but gentler this time. «Anita makes it impossible to just fuck her.»
«What does that mean?» Meng Die asked.
«She was my friend, my good friend, before we ever had sex. You can't just fuck someone that's important to you. Because if you screw it up, you lose more than potential sex, you lose your friend. Her friendship was more important to me than the sex, so it had to be making love, not just racking.»
«I don't understand you,» she said.
Requiem's voice then. «Because sex is almost never casual for Anita, it makes sex with Anita almost never casual.»
Meng Die shook her head. «I don't understand.»
«I know you do not,» he said, «and for that I am sorry.»
«Don't pity me!» She shouted it.
I couldn't see any weapons on her, but the leather could have hidden surprises. Slender surprises, but blades can be amazingly easy to hide.
«I want to fuck, who will fuck me?» Her words hit the air like a stone, and smashed into a suddenly heavy silence.
She looked at the men one at a time. She went to Damian, but he backed up, shaking his head. «Why shake your head? She is your master, not your wife.»
Damian actually looked a little embarrassed, as he said, «We fuck when we can't find anyone else.»
Again, news to me.
«So, I am who you fuck if you can't find anyone else, really?» That purring contralto went from sounding sexy to sounding ominous.
«You've turned me down enough, Meng Die. When Graham, or Clay, or Requiem was available, you didn't even look at me. It stops being flattering to be last on a woman's list.»
She looked at Auggie, and he just said, «We're doing business.»
She turned to Noel. He backed away, as if she'd struck at him. «You scare me,» he said.
«But Anita does not scare you?»
«She scares me less than you do.»
Meng Die frowned at him. «Why?»
I didn't expect Noel to answer, but he did. «Anita may hurt me by accident, but I think you'd hurt me just to see me bleed.» Damn perceptive for walking food.
I felt London coming down the hallway. Felt him in a way that I shouldn't have been able to feel him. He was seeking me, using his vampire powers to find his fix again. I looked up, and found him coming toward us, all dark and pale.
Meng Die's face brightened when she saw London. She practically skipped toward him.
