Chapter 12
Laura was surprised the next day to discover that the only thing that was really damaged was her pride. And that was hurt in a big way. Her asshole was terribly sore, but it didn't seem like anything serious.
She didn't offer any explanations when she submitted her resignation to the police force the next day. She wanted to move away from St. Louis and she wanted to move away as soon as possible. She put Michelle on the first bus home and got to work putting her own affairs in order.
The experience hadn't been all bad, she thought. It awakened a feeling in her that she had been trying to ignore. She was a sexual woman and she knew she couldn't deny it. She would move away, go to another town and find a man there. Maybe more than one man. She knew what she wanted and now wasn't afraid to get it. She could thank Desdemona Valentine for that, she thought ruefully.
And if Alex came back, that would be great. But she wasn't about to spend her life waiting. She knew what she wanted. She knew what she needed, and she was going to get it.
