Sometimes, 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.

He smiles at the kiss and wraps her arms around her slim waist, hugging her and lifting her off of her feet for a moment. He’s so fond of her, but it’s not romantic at all. It’s an unfamiliar feeling, but he’s certainly not mad at it.

“I am glad to be of service,” he says with a smile, setting her down and kissing her forehead. “Anytime.”

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

"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."

“No, it’s fine,” Lee assures her with a chuckle, winking teasingly. “You must be very tired.”

He nods and then looks over his shoulder, then back at her again. “Where are the sheets? I’ll change them before I leave.”

"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.

Lee huffs a laugh but doesn’t argue, leaning against the doorframe as he watches her leave.

“I’ll clear my schedule,” Lee assures her solemnly, tilting his head a little to watch her go, shaking his head with find amusement as he turns to head into the bathroom.

What a life he’s living.
