takecourageSometimes, Alex pays the nanny to stay at either Black Elm or the apartment in town with Edie so that she can get stoned. She gets stoned because it takes the edge off, and it stops her being tempted by other, worse things. Tonight, she's at Black Elm, stretched out on the sofa in the sunroom with the french windows open to the night, her weed pen between her fingers. Her phone buzzes between her tits. It's a text from Lee, asking if she's busy.
sure. You want to get stoned and make out? I'll show you my ballroom.
She sends him a pin for Black Elm's location and a selfie.

It's a relief, actually, that after all that filth, still naked and sticky, they can slip back into this so easily.

Black Elm's ballroom is still almost exactly as it's master left it -- lined with gym equipment that, now, is mostly gathering dust. Alex runs on the treadmill, sometimes, but she never touches the waits.
"Sometimes, you can still see what this place used to be," she says, a sad, unreadable note in her tone.

“Showers,” he reminds her, smirking a bit. “You’re dripping all over the floor.”

"Bathroom. The controls are pretty self explanatory and the towels on the rail are clean.
She leans up and presses a kiss to his cheek. "I haven't been fucked that well in a while."

He lets go of her and takes a step backward toward the bathroom. “You want me to let myself out after I’m done?”

Date: 2025-09-02 06:28 pm (UTC)"Does it make me an asshole if I say yes?" says Alex. "I need to be in the shower for a while and then I really ought to change the sheets. Otherwise, I'll forget they're there." She smiles. "There's like...body wash and shampoo and stuff. Use anything you need."

Date: 2025-09-02 06:42 pm (UTC)"No, you won't," she says, leaning into the bathroom to grab a battered silk robe from the back of the door and slipping it on, wrapping herself loosely. "But I kind of love that you offered." She turns to go. "I'll text you next time I need to get railed."
She'll text him before that. They both know it.

What a life he’s living.
