Excerpt:
The Hare drops to the ground, his nose once more touching
the floor. The Hatter, on the other hand, crawls onto his knees on the bed,
blinking repeatedly as he takes me in. Surprisingly, this does nothing to
lessen his erection. Frabjous. “I see your drug use hasn’t ceased. I’m rather
disappointed in you.”
“Is this—this cannot be. The Queen of Diamonds here, in my
chambers?”
I clear my throat meaningfully.
This has him scrambling off of his bed so he can prostrate
himself next to his compatriot. “Forgive me, my lady. Had I known you were to
arrive, I would’ve ensured that—”
“That what? You weren’t in the midst of an orgy?” I tsk.
“It’s getting old, catching you like this.”
He grovels incoherently.
“Oh, for goodness’ sake. Stand up already. I don’t have time
for your incessantly bothersome games.”
