Blackwater Islands you are a servant, placed at my feet

Now this was quite the predicament. Did Kalika like Gabe? Well, not really. Rather, Kalika liked sex and she knew that if she played her cards right, Gabe could provide. However, he didn't need to know that; all he needed to know was that he had a viable reason to stay. Of course I like you, Gabe. Why would I have invited you here if I didn't? On her face was a much more believeable look of sorrow and betrayal, as though his questions had truly hurt her (which they didn't, but that wasn't necessary to share). I like you a lot, actually. I'm not like my Sisters, but I thought you knew that. She backed away from him and sat a few yards away, back turned and tail still. If she was gonna pull this off, Kalika knew that she would really have to sell it.
