Chapter 9

JULIA

Master came through the door by the rear entry. "Honey's, I'm home."

Alice hadn't put her clothes back on before our talk. "Wait there, Master. Alice isn't dressed yet."

"Okay, but hurry. I need to use the bathroom."

"Fuck it. I don't care if he sees me naked. Go ahead, Scott," Alice called out. "It's your house. Come in if you want."

Master stuck his head around the corner, peeking. "Are you sure?"

"My husband is fucking around on me. Serves him right if I sit around in my birthday suit with other adults."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Master said, ducking across the doorway. "Be happy to talk about it when I'm done."

"Feel free to dress comfortably, Scott, since I've been asked to supper," Alice said. "If you want to dress normally, it's fine by me.

Master looked at me. I nodded and said, "Janet and Chen are coming too, sir. Janet's about to go home and tell him. Rhonda is going to discuss how to get the goods on him."
