George stops Celine from getting undressed immediately, and gives her a questioning look.“We don’t have to if you’re tired, or sore, or just whatever. I would love to, but not if it’s going to make you more uncomfortable.” She wraps her arms around his waist, and pulls him to her, she slides a hand under his shirt, feeling his abs. He groans, and she licks her lips,“I haven’t done this before, sex during my period, so I don’t know how I’ll feel about it until we try.” He nods, “But I’m feeling quite horny. So, you go grab a condom, and let me try new things with you.” He smiles and kisses her softly, then heads out to the bedroom. By the time he returns, she was naked in the shower and washing her groin with her new soap.He stands next to her, takes her hands, and runs them under the water from the shower till they’re clean. She looks down and he sighs, lifting her chin to look at him,“Please, let me do that. I need to take care of you when you’re not okay. This is as much for me
Celine looks at George, raising an eyebrow as she does,“What for? Being a good person? Being your good person? Being a very good spy?” She leans into his shoulder and nudges him a little, going back to her now melting ice cream. George nods,“Yes, all of that and more.” He kisses her temple. “I’m sorry if I made this morning worse for you than it needed to be. I never intended to do that.” She smirks and shakes her head,“No, you did good, Baby. I’m just feeling a bit adrift with all this royal stuff I’m having to learn, along with the whole Veil mess. But you are my anchor, George. I’ll always be tied to you, no matter how far I drift, or how lost I feel.” He reaches down between them and brings her chair closer, making her squeak softly before grinning at him. He loves the way she thinks, he rests his head on hers,“Fi is sorting your new furniture this afternoon and she’ll put your things away while she’s at it. Our other package is already safely stowed in my office; I checked wh
Celine wakes to the bight morning sun hitting her face, and George pulling the bedclothes off her causing a rush of cold air which makes her gasp and cover herself in surprise, she shrieks at George,“What the hell, George?” He looks at her carefully,“I smelled blood.” He sounds frightened, she calms instantly,“Oh,” she looks at herself, and takes stock of how she’s feeling. She sighs when she realises what’s happening, “Gods, George. It’s just my period.” He sags and nods “George, give me back the bedding.” He nods and covers her up again. “I’ll need Fi, I don’t have anything for a period. Please pass me some pyjamas, I don’t want to be naked when she gets here.” He nods and does as she asks,Including passing her some underwear when she asks for them as well. She manages to get the clothes on before Fi comes in with a selection of feminine sanitary products. Celine looks at the selection and grabs a pack of pads, going into the bathroom to sort herself out. Once she feels clean an
Seb and Nate go to the cells to find the three men being processed by the on-duty guards. They’re all having a cavity search, partly as a matter of course, but also the guards are taking their time. Making sure they really feel it. Seb and Nate wait in the guard room for their belongings to be brought out. Nate is pacing a little, but he always has a lot of nervous energy around bad guys. And these three definitely deserve that title.Seb chooses to ignore him, choosing a tray to look through instead. There’s a phone, which he chucks to Nate. Who nods and sits to work on the thing, while Seb goes through the first guy’s wallet. These were clearly amateurs, it still has his photo ID. He puts that to one side, there’s also a watch, but nothing else of interest. Seb grabs the second tray while the first tray is locked away.Another phone, he slides it across the table to Nate. Another wallet, and another photo ID. He puts it with the first, shaking his head in disbelief that they’re this
George had watched Celine go from feeling completely overwhelmed, to confident that she and Fi could conquer the world, if they stood together in the right dresses. He leaves them to their planning, and makes his way to his office to check in with Micah. When he gets there, Micah is chatting on speakerphone to Nate and Seb, who are apparently getting close to where the computer that had received the files from the flash drive is.“Should be somewhere on your right, there’s a house on the map I’ve got here.” Micah’s looking intently at his screen. George comes round behind him to see what’s going on. There’s a map with two blue dots, one is moving, and the other is still. The one moving is clearly Nate and Seb, probably in a car, based on the speed they’re moving. Nate mutters,“Okay, I can see a house, parking up.” The sound changes as they get out of the car and move towards the house. He hums, “Whose house is this supposed to be, Micah?” Micah taps at his keyboard for a moment then
It’s a mad idea, one they might not have to follow through with, but it would need to be dealt with at some point, so why not now? She’s going to be Queen Luna of France, so she’ll be on public display regardless of anything else going on. Her scars will need explaining, and hopefully they’ll be accepted. Or she’d be stuck in long sleeves forever. And with summer not far away, there was no way she’d tolerate that heat with long sleeves on.“I think we need to be clear, but obviously sharing too much could make you look like an attention seeker. Which clearly isn’t the case.” Eva is helping her draft a public statement to explain her situation, including her time with Solomon, and the reason for her scars. Depending on what Nate finds with the phone and flash drive, they might have to release this before the end of the day, and it needs to be right.“True, but we need enough information so that if the videos surface, people will see them for what they are, and not make me out to be som
