It was Richard's little in-joke, he'd said, promoting her to Secretary of Education.

He'd explained it to her during one of their usual after-dinner meetings, in his apartment in Caprica City, by candlelight.

She'd been angry, at first, at his crass sense of humour. In response and perhaps apology, he'd done something utterly unexpected, and dropped to his knees in front of her stiff-backed chair. For a brief moment, she'd been worried he would propose to her: something she didn't need, or want, from him.

Instead, his warm, rough palms slid up her thighs, over the silk stockings she'd worn for him, and beneath her demure brown skirt.

Two orgasms later, by the time she'd slid to the floor with her knees hooked high over his shoulders, she'd almost forgiven him. Almost.
