By the time Marina finished reviewing all the plans and setting the
schedule for each of the subcontractors to complete their portions of
the project, it was near twilight. Lara hadn’t shared her intentions
for The Planet with her so she had plenty of questions for the
attractive contractor.
She was even more surprised to learn that Lara had consulted with
Francesca on her ideas. And it was Francesca who had recommended
Carlotta to Lara. It felt like a setup in some way, or a deliberate put
down; either way, Marina felt that Francesca’s hand was still running
her life. From Lara to Francesca, she was being led around by the
proverbial nose. She wasn’t going for it, she was going to stand up and
take her life back.
She had to admit, as Carlotta showed her one roll of plans after
another, calling her attention to one detail or another, that Lara’s
ideas were very good. That stung, harsh and deep. They would certainly
change the look and feel of the place, but sometimes change wasn’t
necessarily a bad thing. At least that’s what Marina kept telling
herself, feeling her dream slip further and further from her grasp.
It was that sense of loss, rather than any great moral conflict, that
allowed Marina to keep the meeting with Carlotta strictly business
like, even during coffee and lunch breaks. The woman made physical
contact with her as much as possible, a brush of her hand, a press of
her hip. Her scent and body language made it clear she was Marina’s for
the taking, right here, right now if that’s what Marina wanted. But it
didn’t feel right. Nothing but having Jenny at her side would feel
right at this very moment.
“Why don’t you come back to my place for dinner,” she had asked at the
end in a throaty voice that made Marina shiver. “I’m a pretty good cook
and I’m sure I can whip up a dessert that will please your palate.” She
licked her lips and locked eyes with Marina. Invitation. Temptation. In
one very enticing package, then her thoughts shifted to Jenny again.
“I’m sorry, but I have something I really have to do tonight,” Marina
apologized. Something flared in Carlotta’s blue eyes, whether it was
anger or disappointment, she couldn’t tell.
Marina watched Carlotta walk away afterwards with a tinge of regret.
She hadn’t really accomplished anything the entire day except. A
suspicion niggled at her, but it was too vague to put into words. She
sighed, went back to her office and put on her leathers again, allowing
the smell and feel to stoke her sense of empowerment and control. She
would need all the control she could muster. But one way or another,
she was bringing Jenny home tonight.

Very surprised Susan couldn’t kick Francesca’s ass, glad Marina did though. Thank goodness that Alice is nosy or Jenny’s ass would’ve been grass.
