Esme
They let you out of the house in that dress?
Eva
Barely. And only because it’s the DCAs.
Esme
Well, they should do it more often, cause it looks great.
Eva
Thanks. But I’m ready to be in comfy clothes and my house when my heat burns me alive.
Esme
Good luck with that.
While I was on set I took heat suppressants. Just to make sure the schedule didn’t get interrupted by something unexpected. Then, once I was home, I would stop them and let the heat hit where I could be comfortable, use all the toys I needed, and fuck myself to my heart’s content.
I would love to spend my heats the way they should be spent: with Alphas and real knots. But like hell could I just bring in someone to fuck me for a few days. Talk about a press field day.
We wrapped a couple days ago, but I got back to Slate City yesterday and stopped taking the suppressants. So by tomorrow, when I officially didn’t have anything on my schedule for the next few months, my heat would be here. I wanted it over with.
Sloane
How hungry are you right now?
I laughed as I made my way to my seat, Neil fading into the blend of other security. He would be there if I needed him.
Eva
Fucking starving.
There was rarely any time to eat on award show days. They started earlier than you wanted and ended later than you thought. And no one wanted to be in front of the cameras in a post-food coma.
Luckily, this award show had the best snacks, and my dress was loose enough for me not to care.
Sloane
If they have those cheese fries like last time, get them so I can live vicariously through you.
Sloane was a dancer with the Slate City Ballet. They’d been nominated for an award last year, so we came and had a great time. I should have brought one of my friends with me this time. Then maybe the paps wouldn’t ask me about my love life.
Who was I kidding? They’d still ask.
Eva
Done.
Petra was next. We’d known each other forever. Our parents had been friends, and we were often at functions together. I’d clung to her when Esme wasn’t there. Even we we were kids Esme hated the spotlight.
Petra
Good luck! Break a leg.
Eva
