Zane and I are having an affair—how strange for me to pen the word. He seduced me last night in the parlor of the Empress's quarters. I had thought that he would remove his clothes and couple with me on the couch as I shamelessly let him touch me in places no one has before. But he did not. He didn't take off one stitch of his clothes, not even loosening his collar, while I lay against him almost naked. Quite disappointing.

However, my bare skin against the fabric of his coat was a strange but pleasing sensation. I never thought myself so depraved, but it made me feel rather wild and wanton. I would have done anything in that room, anything he wanted me to, but he gently suggested I get dressed and go before Her Majesty started to wonder where I was.
