Inevitable Twenty-two: The Things I Ask Of You is up!

At TTH

As always, any comments and questions are welcome.

I'll add more later, but go! read! I'm late for work!

Fun facts: This chapter has four POV changes, and is one of the shorter chapters. I managed to get in some rather riske stuff by the sheer placement of the word "pants". Also, mad props to _calex_ for pointing out something to me, and making me review Harry's inner puppy.

(in other words, plzR&R!!!1!)

The Richard reaction has another meaning, as well. At this point, Richard doesn't know *why* she stabbed Nate, or threatened to kill JC. But, as always, Anita's perceptions of what she's seeing may be a bit off...

Anita not wanting to touch Nathaniel right away had more to do with the fact that she just stabbed him, and also some of what happened that morning. I hope I'm not giving anything away, but if you look at this chapter, Anita only ever expressed fear of the pain returning during sex with Nathaniel. This has everything to do with being left to stew with those thoughts all morning in Harry's room. More on this in future chapters.

I'm less interested in what JC had Jason call Asher about, than what Richard and Micah talked outside for an hour over :)

Harry wanted to stay because, in spite of it all, he feels safer with his grandfather and with Anita than with the vamps. He's still not sure where he stands with the vamps.

I could go on, but I've got to head out. Thanks once again for your great feedback!
