Jupiter: Kari, where the fuck are my advertising board images?
Kari: You cursed, Jup?
Jupiter: Don’t get fucking smart with me, I’m about three seconds from hunting down your ass and kicking it into Milan fashion week. The promoters want them to set up their own Italian advertisements. I DON’T HAVE THEM.
Booker: Oh, it’s serious, Jupiter is using the shouty capital letters. Everyone run and hide.
Silas: Not the shouty capital letters!
Jupiter: You won’t be so fucking happy if all the money we’ve spent on advertisement get’s flushed down the pan, Silas.
Kari: They are in your office Jup, I delivered them in person this morning. Look with your eyes and not with your damn hands.
Kodi: This makes a change from it being me losing my shit.
Taylin: The day is yet young.
Rue: You been waiting for just the occasion to say that, Tay?
Taylin: Don’t know what you mean.
Kari: I’m waiting for my apology, Jup!
Jupiter: I’M SORRY.
Kodi: Good one Jup, but following it with the curses I can hear through the walls…
Kari: I have someone waiting outside my office for a meeting, just saying!
Booker: I’ll be bloody glad when fashion week is over.
Jupiter: Why? It’s not your ass in the sling.
Silas: It’s too damn big for that.
Booker: That’s more your thing Jup because swinging about in a leather contraption… yep don’t need that in my life.
Jupiter: Don’t knock till you try it.
Laken: Sex swings, how the hell did we get from advertisement boards to that?
Jupiter: Ask Silas and Booker and their dirty minds. Now leave me alone. I'm far too busy.
Silas: Well, that’s us been told.
Kari: He was the asshole who started it.
Dad: Boys!
Chapter Thirteen
Lennon
It was the end of Wednesday, and Lennon had managed to keep from being alone in a room with Kodi successfully for three whole days. Kodi hadn’t attempted to apologise for his behavior. The one time he’d started a conversation and Lennon had listened, it was all accusations. Lennon had shut it down and closed himself off, because he was unsure how to deal with the hurt. For these reasons, Lennon had not handled things between them. Avoidance had been the best policy when he was overly emotionally leading up to his heat. The fact his heat was due on Friday was something else he had to contend with.
He had the rest of the week off and Monday to recover, and Lennon was grateful for it. He needed space from Kodi, from the situation he had caused thinking they could keep things separate. Put the spanking in a work box.
