Susan was already storming to the reception area before Richard caught hold of himself.He frowned as he followed at a dignified pace.How had she been able to get past his men who were situated just beyond the Sanctuary border?“How dare you show your stinking face here?” Susan's voice reached Richard even before he got to the reception room.She really could be loud at times, he thought testily.Not a trait befitting a Luna.Athena and the receptionist had just turned towards Susan's outburst when Richard entered.Her gaze went past Susan to Richard before she lightly said, “Oh, it's you two.”Her dismissive tone angered Richard even as he took in her floor-length, long-sleeved gown.The forest green of the material made her eyes pop. Her bewitching hair made his hands twitch.“Are you stalking us now? You must have heard the news. Couldn’t stay away after finding out, could you?” Susan's shrill voice really was getting to Richard.“Oh, what news is that?” Athena asked with a bored s

She was right there. Yet you come running with your tail between your legs?!”“Babe, he said the general…”“Fuck the general!” Richard slammed his hand on the table.The hourglass toppled over, and the Freudian globe almost crashed to the floor before Susan rescued
