"Bound to the bed, at your beck and call, fulfilling your fantasies. You think someone would make that up?" Alaric fumed.
Caught out, Hertha knew she'd been too loud, letting private musings becpublic knowledge. "I was talking about someone else. Don't you know I've got a new crush?" she blurted out.
