Chapter 25 Tamed Desires

• I have never felt as agitated on a full moon as I was today. There was so much to consider and throughout the day, I wondered if accepting Edward’s offer to shift together was the right decision.
• When I returned to the parlour, I did not resume my role as the motivator for the biggest spender. A part of me felt happy that it was no longer my sole responsibility. My girls did it now and made it even better than I ever did, and it made my heart swell with pride.
• However, once in a while, I took the stage and danced on the pole. The night we would tag a treat to the visitors and on those days, the sensual hall would receive a massive turnout. It made me feel powerful and in control, even though it was only for a while. I’ve been up there twice and the second time I climbed the stage, which was yesterday, I saw the prince in the hall, watching me like the rest of the men seated.
