Ileus smiled smugly at her. "I have my ways of getting things done."
Once again Anastasia had a thousand questions. But she found herself saying, "Sure you do have ways. You got close to Maple."
"That I did," he chuckled without sounding remorseful.
The urge to elbow him hard was now too strong and she elbowed him. However, it didn't do a thing to him. "I didn't know one could get so jealous. What will happen to you if I tell you about my affairs when I was much younger?"
"Oh god! You are just too horrible!" she blurted. "Besides even if you go harping on about them, I don't care." And how could she forget that Darla was his childhood friend who said that he belonged to her.
He sighed. "That is interesting."
Kaizan came right next to them. "Anastasia, if you want to know about his affairs, you can ask me. I know all about them."
"Oh sure," she said gritting her teeth. "You must tell me all about them!"
