@littlest-lily Excellent tension-building, btw. I had no idea (or, rather, too many ideas) how this chapter would end.
I suspect Evie will now permit Aiden to commit a little trespassing.
“Glorious Dollar Points?”

It’s perfectly normal to keep a woman in mind for months or years before you’re ready to shrink her. Not that I have any personal experience with that.
@foreverlurk “Ma’am, you’re facing where the wine bottle will be, you need to turn your face to the side. Ma’am, why is your tongue out like that?”
“Uh, he knows I really like, uh, wine!”
@littlest-lily Ryder continues to take presumptuous liberties with Isabelle, but perhaps my favorite presumption is giving her a pet name. With peers one tries out a nickname to see if the subject will permit its use before adopting it. Ryder extends no such courtesy to “Sweetie.”
“You and I have a unique bond”
At least she’s honest with herself about how attractive she finds this situation and not pretending to be gaslit. I wonder if she’ll think to ask him how many others he’s “sent down there” and what happened to them.
Looking forward to the smut…
