</div><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Karl silently accepted Grace's rebuke about this rare time that he'd been late.  He also held his tongue and did not contradict her about her erroneous notion that he'd chatted with the pregnant woman.  Thirdly, while he told himself that she didn't love him and he didn't love her, Grace was a very skilled and enthusiastic lover.  When the day was over, he could imagine the angry sex that she'd be wanting when this affair with her father's will was over and done.  Acts that she normally would not do, or submit to, with less the muscular Audrey.  Karl admitted to himself that he very much enjoyed 'pushing the envelope'.<br/>
<br/>
Thinking of Audrey, Karl decided not to go back to the kitchen but remained in the parlor.  He chose a corner of the room and stood there, not hiding but not drawing attention to himself, obviously alert but internally more relaxed.  Looking at the room, he'd expected more guests but Grace always kept information to herself if she thought others didn't need to know.  Fortunately, Grace's instincts about 'need to know' were generally good.<br/>
<br/>
Karl did not imagine he was really needed to keep the guests in line, but unexpected things happened.  Hopefully, the younger blonde woman would remember the directions from the powder room to the parlor.  He did not like the idea that he might have to go looking for her in the mansion.</span>
