*Brandi had set aside one of the corner rooms as a nursery. Seemed fitting it there was going to be a gaggle of kids. She had just tucked the boys into their cribs and was folding some linens when she felt something in her gut. It made her...uncomfortable. She turned sharply to see a curvy redhead in the room.*
Oh sh*t.

*Hedonism wore a coy smile. There was something about this girl, something familiar. Eh, maybe they'd played before. She took a step closer.*
"There now, aren't you a pet? Sweet as sugar."
*She inhaled deeply, taking in Brandi's scent.*
"And one for many pleasures."
*But there was something else. A faint hint of...no, it couldn't be. Not one like her. Or the elf for that matter. She must be losing her touch.*
"Brandi, right?"

*Brandi quickly shook her head nervously as she stepped back and lifted her hand in defensive warning.*
“No—Yes, but no. Not for you. Don’t know why you’re here, but you can just go back the way you came.”
But you do know, don’t you. And you kinda want it.
*The color fled her face.*
No. No no no no. For realz. Don’t.
*She took another step back, making sure to stay out of arm’s reach.*
“Hedonism, you should just go. Please.”

*Hedonism’s brow arched perfectly.*
“Oh…well…”
*Her smile widened.*
“And how is it that you know my name? We have played before, haven’t we?”
*She took a step closer in echo.*

*A merry dance began as Brandi stepped further back.*
“No. I mean, don’t. I need to…not be distracted right now.”
*She thought of Cry-Baby. And Kris. How neglectful she’d been. But it was for a cause, a higher purpose, something that she could do and be done with and make up to both of them. She swallowed carefully.*

*Following in suit, she moved closer again.*
“So…you weren’t in the other room kissing that young lithe elf then?”
*She glanced at her nails, studying them idly.*
“ ‘Cause I kinda think you were.”

*Brandi’s gaze dropped instantly and she shifted in a manner that gave away her discomfort.*
I don’t know why I did that. Something’s wrong with me.
“I…It doesn’t change…I can’t deal with that right now. I have matters…pressing business….”

*Hedonism looked bored.*
“But you want her, right? I mean…you do.”
*Humans. Why were they always denying her?*

“No!” *Brandi answered sharply.*
“I mean, of course not. I have a partner…partners that I care about deeply. They keep me satisfied.”
*She lifted her chin proudly.*

*Hedonism didn’t look impressed.*
“But not right now they don’t.”
*She lifted her hands as if to explain.*
“Girl, just because you love ‘em doesn’t mean that you can’t be lovin’ someone else.”
*She shook her head.*
“I took you for one to know that.”

I do, but…
*Brandi’s eyes fell in inner conflict. Why did this have to be happening now? Oh yeah, because Hedonism sucks at waiting. She shrugged helplessly.*
“I do. But…I don’t love her.”
*She lifted her eyes, desperate for understanding.*

*Hedonism met her gaze indifferently.*
“And?”
*She shook her head.*
“Girl, love has nothing to do with really great sex.”
*Before Brandi could contend the point, she added.*
“Well, it’s not required.”

It is for me.
*Brandi frowned, her lips tightening.*
“Look, I don’t need the added complication of this. Can’t…we do this some other time?”
Like when I’m trying not to rear War’s get?
*She sighed.*
“It’s not that I don’t appreciate the thought, I do. I just…there are more pressing matters.”
*At that moment, Gavyn let out a shrill cry and Brandi turned instinctively to check on him.*

“Pressing indeed…”
*She whispered, leaning abruptly to stroke the back of Brandi’s hand before grinned and disappearing in a puff of pipe smoke.*

*Brandi froze a moment, staring at her hand, unable to process it.*
Aw…d*mmit.
