I dressed in my finest and made my way to Heliotrope House, I dare say I was getting a reputation there for the young girl that met with me looked agast at me in fear.
"I'm here to see Janyx no Heliotrope for an assignation." I said bluntly. She nodded and made away quickly to find him.

I was hiding on the roof again, pressed to the warmth of the kitchen chimney, just daydreaming. So much was going on. My dinner plans with Jess, my upcoming assignation with Evie. The deaths and all the political unrest. And ever present in the back of my mind was Meda.
I kept seeing the tumble of her hair, like embers at midnight pouring down her back, the pale depths of her eyes, the exotic tilt to them. Her ripe mouth. The whole incident in the garden, and later seeing her at the coronation didn't feel real, but I still thought of her. She was nothing like Evangeline, and yet Evangeline consumed my conscious thoughts, and terrified me, thrilled me as well.
Hence why I was out on the roof thinking versus in my room where Valerain could find me to set me some tedious task. I was five and twenty not fourteen. Granted I hadn't acted my age in a while, but I was not her lackey.
Faintly I heard pounding coming from my open window. Was someone knocking on the door? Damn! I'd just have to sneak down and come in through the front doors so no one would realize I had a hideout. Or worse, thought I was sulking. Carefully I climbed down to the ground level and circled around to enter Heliotrope from the front doors.

The door opened behind me and I spun slowly seeing Janyx.
"Well well." I said smiling slightly. "Sneaking out to visit another patron?"

Evangeline. Beautiful as always. Just the sight of her made my heart race. And the scent of oranges and vanilla, so heady, wrapped around my senses and went straight to my groin. I swaggered close to her, smiling wryly.
"No, sneaking in to avoid the appearance of sulking. Someone was knocking and I was ignoring them. I only have dinner with one tonight. So my day is yours." My hand rose to her face, stroked the soft skin of her cheek.

I exhaled at the touch of his fingers and smiled.
"Janyx." I whispered softly.

My hand curled tenderly in the hair at her nape, bringing her slowly forward. I didn't kiss her, though the desire to sang through me. I pressed my forehead to hers, inhaling the intoxication that was purely 'Evangeline.'
To have the moment ruined by someone clearing their throat. I looked over Evie's shoulder to see Valerain, a look of displeasure on her face.
"Your Grace, as always your visits to Heliotrope are... eventful. How can this House be of service to you today?"
Damn...

I turned to Valerain raising a brow.
"I suppose so." I replied smuggly and inhaling deeply. "I'm here to contract Janyx for the evening lady Dowayne."

Her lips compressed into a tight smile and she looked fist at Evie, then at me.
"Janyx is having diner with a patron this evening. His time is yours until then. We can negotiate a suitable contract this time." So many little barbs, my hand squeezed her arm gently and I held my breath waiting for Evie to explode. I was having diner with Jess, and I'd told Valeraine of it earlier. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I raised a brow. "Very well." I replied.

I stepped close to her and whispered in her ear, "Go, I'll find somewhere for us, and make sure we're not disturbed." already I had an idea forming, one that had been haunting my dreams lately.

I looked to Valerain with confidence. "Lead the way." I said smiling. She nodded and gestured for me to follow.
Once down the hall and into her office I moved around the room looking at the tapestries that hung from her walls.
"You sure keep Janyx on a short tie, especially considering that he's already made his marque." I remarked absently.
"Janyx has broken house rules." She said nonplussed and sat behind her desk and pulled out a contract.
"Ah, I see." I replied walking slowly toward her. "Silly me." I noticed a slight shake of her head as she filled in the blanks.
"Hows Caraf?" She asked, her face still looking down at the paper but I noticed a smirk on her face.
"Caraf and I get along well, considering where she came from." Narrowing my brow Valeraine looked up at me with a slight glare.
"Sign here." She replied not commenting on what I had said. I leaned over and signed it then straightened. Then she simply stood and curtsied.
"Duchesse." There was a hint of amusment in her voice at calling me such. Anyone who knew anything knew I wouldn't have the title for much longer.
"Valeraine." I replied and spun on my heel heading to where Janyx would be waiting.
