Chapter Seven
1 The procedure
went very well. Bane was frustrated that
she wouldn’t let him move around much for a couple of days, but Max catered to
his every whim. She had to, because Erik
was terrified of him. She showed him
scans of what had been done and what would come next and how much more
efficient things would be once the new mask was ready. He was back in the old breathing apparatus,
as she didn’t want him wearing the mask while the back of his head healed. It wouldn’t take long, as the incision she
made was small.
“What
are you going to do with the old one?” he asked. He reclined on the couch in her
laboratory. She had taken to sitting on
top of him whenever he lay down. It kept
him from moving so much, even though they both knew that if Bane wanted to get
up, she wouldn’t be able to keep him from doing so.
“Keep
it to remember you by.”
“I
didn’t take you to be a sentimental kind of woman.”
“I’m
only sentimental about the sex, honey. I
like how we get down. You have to admit,
it’s fantastic. Don’t lie either,
because we both know how fast I can make you skeet.”
