Mariana's POV
"I offered to wash you, not get in with you" I laughed "It's better like this" he said, grabbing my thighs "Oh is it?" I smiled, he nodded "Yeah, way more relaxing dove" he tried to convince
"How did it really go then?" Alfie asked "The meeting?" He nodded, sitting back against the bath "Awful, Jack was... as pleasant as he can be, Diana is unlike any woman I have ever met, she is worse than the duchess, worse than anyone I have had to deal with, and she is intent on getting her way" I said
"Oswald... well... a bullet can't come to his head soon enough" I mumbled "But they're happy? With the deal?" He asked I nodded "Seems so, Jack's pretty confident I'm trustworthy. I don't know what Gina's dripping into his ear but he's being rather friendly nonetheless" I explained
"Good" he said, pulling me down to him, kissing me slowly "Mm... Alfie, Alfie we can't, not in here" I chuckled "Why not?" He mumbled "Because we barely fit in the bath as it is" I smiled, getting up
"Well that... that's a dangerous thing ain't it" he commented, looking up at me as I stood over him, water dripping off me "Then get out" I said simply, stepping out of the bath tub
I dried myself as he got up, leaving him "Come back here" he said "Make me" I teased, walking naked into our room.

"I'm glad you're back" I whispered, kissing him slowly We were exhausted, we were hot We were trying to catch our breath after he'd caught me and bent me over the bed
"Do you think I should go... to Boston?" Alfie asked, looking up at the ceiling "Harvey wants you to, you want Nelson out of the picture don't you?" I asked "Yeah" he sighed "Then go. Maybe you can take Carter again, he loved the last trip" I smiled, he rolled his head to the side Looking at me once again
"Yeah, guess he likes me more than you now" he joked "That's fine, I have my Laurence, mother's boy till the day I die" I teased back He laughed, kissing the side of my head "You'll be alright without us again?" He asked
"I think I can handle a week or so without your dazzling company darling" I said
