– Should I want something?

– Yes, if that filth is on my desk and not Shar’Darren’s.

I make a mental note to summon my chief of security as soon as she leaves, give him a good scolding, and demand to know within twenty-four hours who is watching my life so closely-a rival for the Senate, my own “bride,” or… some other person with a vested interest in killing my reputation.

– Our engagement will remain in force for another two years, – A’Leta declares.

The last time we spoke, when my affair with Natasha came to light, she screamed that she would never want to be my fiancée again, that it would tarnish her honor and stain her family. It was like she was the first moonwoman whose man had ever been caught in the company of a hot hottie. Even her father, who wasn’t in the mood for this story either, wasn’t as radical.

And so, after two weeks of beluga roaring in all the media about her broken heart, about the destroyed faith in men and my completely callous soul, A’Lita shows up with a demand to continue the farce.
