A Lick of Frost(20)

"I believe so," Doyle said.

 

Frost nodded. "Yes."

 

I turned back to the lawyers. "Four, but two is average."

 

Biggs recovered a little. "So, you see, gentlemen, ladies, a two-day wait between sex, or less. There are married men who have to wait longer than that for their needs to be met."

 

"Princess Meredith," Cortez said.

 

"Yes, Mr. Cortez." I looked into his dark brown eyes.

 

He cleared his throat and said, "Are you telling us the truth? You have sex three times a day with an average of two men at a time, and sometimes up to four. Is this what you want in the record?"

 

"It is sealed," Farmer said.

 

"But if this does go to court, then it may not be. Is this really what the princess wants the public to know about her."?

 

I frowned at him. "It's the truth, Mr. Cortez. Why should the truth bother me?"

 

"Do you honestly not understand what this information could do to your reputation in the media?"

 

"I don't understand the question."

 

He looked at Biggs and Farmer. "I don't say this often, but is your client aware of what this record, even sealed, can be used for?"

 

"I did discuss it with her, but... Mr. Cortez, the Unseelie Court does not view sex in the same way as most of the world. They certainly don't view it as mainstream America views it. My colleague and I learned that when we prepped the princess and her guard for these talks. If you are hinting that the princess might be more careful what she admits to having done with her men, then save your breath. She is absolutely not bothered by anything she has done with any of her men."

 

"Not to bring up a painful subject, but the princess didn't seem very happy in the media when her ex-fiance, Griffin, sold those Polaroids to the tabloids a few months back," Cortez said.
