Fighting back (1)

Edgar was pleasantly surprised that Alessandra had not rejected the fact he would be taking off the dress when they returned home. Normally Sally would rush to the room to help Alessandra but it seemed his wife wanted otherwise tonight. He was only teasing her but he would turn away a golden opportunity. 

Edgar was now more interested in returning home than taking part in the party though they had not been here for long. 

"We should return to the party before others start to wonder where you are and more people find out about Emma," Alessandra said, stepping away from Edgar to go back into the party area first. She felt hot but it wasn't the heated room making her this way.

Once again, Edgar wished Alessandra knew that her running away would always entice him. For now, he would be on his best behavior and hold out until they returned home.
