Chapter 296

• I didn't press the issue, instead letting my eyes wander across the various camera angles. Jess was with Johnny Burris, which hardly was a surprise. I didn't see Kat and Rita in any of the main rooms, so I switched to the bedrooms.
• And there they were, in the bedroom that formerly served as the dungeon, with the door closed. A wave of ambivalence washed over me. This was the same space where, only a year ago, David Johnson had defiled and abused Kat so frequently and to her delight. I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath. It helped recenter me. When I opened them again, I appreciated the scene that unfolded before my eyes.
• Rita's earlier nervousness at home had translated into the bedroom. She wasn't just hanging out at the party for fun. She was working. She was a part of Infinity now. And she didn't know quite how to react. As it happened, though, a usual Infinity policy had accidentally taken hold in the bedroom. New escorts always were paired with a veteran for threesomes. And Rita had the perfect partner in Kat.
