JEAN-CLAUDE AND I were almost to the bedroo unhappy God was short for Godofredo, but he was tall enough, h that the nickname didn&039;t seem entirely funny He was darkly Hispanic, and we had only one guard more massive than he was, Dino, but whereas DinoDino would hit you harder, but God would hit you faster and more often

"Sorry, Jean-Claude, Anita, but Asher is requesting to see Jean-Claude before he leaves"

Jean-Claude sighed, and squeezed my hand "I can deny his request, if you like?"

I looked at hi to read his face I should have known better "If you want to see hiave a slight uptilt of lips that was almost a smile, but seeh I shook his hand gently "Go to him It&039;s okay I&039;ll clean up and wait for you in the bed"

"I am sorry I won&039;t be able to join you in the tub"

"It&039;s depressing to use the bathtub without company I&039;ll hit the showers and do a quick cleanup"

God cleared his throat We looked at hi Asher , in case that would make a difference to what Anita does"

I looked at the bigus, Godofredo?" I asked

He looked at his feet, obviously unhappy He

"What?" I asked

He looked up frowning "I&039;m pretty sure that Asher wants more than just a talk with Jean-Claude He seems to feel that once he&039;s exiled you ood-bye" He spread his big hands out, gave a sort of shrug

I frowned back at hiht have a clue I hoped I rong

Jean-Claude raised my hand up and laid a kiss on the back of it "I aone soood-bye sex, doesn&039;t he?"

"I believe so"

I looked at hiry with him"

"I am, but if it is to be the last time I would not pass it up"

"Last tiht?"

"Perhaps longer; the city is needing a new master vampire and has petitioned ht not be co back?"

"Perhaps it is time he had his own territory"

"Maybe, but" I thought about neverhi him top me, or bottom to Richard, or be in the bed with Jean-Claude and me, or Just no more Asher It ht ever, I&039;ll regret not being there, but I&039;m still too mad" Then I realized, "Besides, he didn&039;t ask for me, did he?"
