Chapter 156

“Is Carl the father?”

“I didn’t even have sex with him until after I was pregnant.”

“Who’s child is it then, your Master’s?” Nicky asked.

“He didn’t become my Master until after I was pregnant. There’s no chance it’s his. It could possibly be Nat’s.” Both her parents looked at the tall black man. “Do you know what time Eva is getting here?”

“Just before supper.” Nicky looked at Henry. He shrugged his shoulders. What did that mean?

“Do you need help with supper?” Dani asked. “We don’t want to invade and do nothing. We’re all ready to help in any way we can, since there’s eight of us.”

“I’ve got a casserole in the oven. If you want to work on a salad or dessert, that would be a big help.”

“Great, there’s just one more favor I need to ask. We’re all comfortable being nude, and I’m a little embarrassed that Jessica and I are the only ones. Do you mind if we all strip off? You and Dad can do what you like.”

“What about Eva?” Nicky asked.
