Leaving Steven's room, Maia left Lois and her host spooning, Steven of course being the little spoon. This both amused her and pulled at her heart, as she had been the filling in their sandwich before wiggling out. The speed that the two, both fast asleep, found the body of the other was adorable.
She closed his bedroom door with gentle ease and headed to her own ensuite bathroom to shower. This was the first time she'd ever had cum inside her, and having had several hours with it inside her, she was looking forward to having it out of her. It made her feel quite odd feeling the... stuff... dripping down her leg. It might be that she would have it again, possibly even in only a few hours, but for now, she was desperate for a shower, and turned the heat to almost scolding temperatures, smiling and humming as her body warmed up.
Drying off, her short hair not needing a second towel, just a decent rubbing, she opened the bathroom door, steam escaping as quickly as possible, and as she turned off the bathroom light she didn't immediately spot the figure sitting on the end of her bed.
Finally spotting them, Maia jumped.
"Bloody hell Steven," she gasped in shock, "don't fucking do that." To her relief, she found the light switch and, as her eyes adjusted to the new light saw that she'd been mistaken. "Fuck!" She stared at the be-suited woman in surprise, unaware why Stephanie, Steven's PA would be sat on the end of her bed at, fuck, really? Two O'Clock in the morning.
"Hello Maia," Stephanie spoke calmly, I hope you don't me interrupting your evening. I just felt that we had something to talk about."
Going red, Maia flashed through anger, betrayal, worry, concern and, embarrassingly, lust. In her suit, Stephanie appeared quite masculine and butch, and while she preferred femininity, Maia found it extremely attractive on the PA.
"And what do we have to discuss?" Maia asked, refusing to be intimidated, continuing her drying and bed-time routine as normal, removing all her makeup, having been unable to see her face in the bathroom mirror, condensation covering the bathroom despite the fan's best efforts.
"I think the reason why people are able to buy Steven's services is a pretty good start." She delivered the line with the right amount of honesty, that while Maia began worrying which skeleton they'd unearthed, she appreciated the drama.
"If you're trying to blackmail me," she responded, "then you should probably have your facts straight." Makeup off, she began moisturising her face. "At no point have I allowed something like that."
"Oh don't worry," Stephanie spoke slowly, "I know that. You haven't the power to do so."
"Then why," Maia did her best not to snap, "her are you here?"
"Because, until a few days ago, you were shagging the person who did."
Still rubbing her face, Maia could feel her cheeks immediately turn bright red.
"I don't suppose there's any point lying to you," she eventually spoke, "I just want you to confirm her name, make sure you're not fishing."
"Kate Brannen." Stephanie answered calmly, "an MP for NZ Nation, dislikes immigration as a whole and has never wanted to pay for a man to be in the country, which was the only thing your party agreed with. "
Staring into the mirror, Maia felt both embarrassed and angry.
"Should I ask who gave up her identity?"
"What?" Stephanie asked with a laugh. "As your partner, or as the idiot who started taking bribes?"
"Let's start with the former."
"I'm not telling you." Dropping a file on the bed, the name 'Kate Brannen' stood out on the front page, next to a photo of Maia and her being rather intimate. "Neither for the former, nor the latter. But what I know is, you knew months ago that she was hiding this."
Her ears ringing, Maia felt completely blind-sided, having just enjoyed one of the most amazing shags of her life, to be caught like this... Fuck.
"I was in love," She admitted, removing her towel and finishing drying the last moist parts of her body, "up until a few days ago anyway."
"What happened?" Stephanie asked out of interest.
"Tell me where you got this information, and maybe I will." Maia countered.
Her head tilted, her eyes twinkling, Stephanie and Maia exchanged a smile. "Now you know that's not going to happen. Your secret however will probably end up on page twenty-three of a gossip magazine sometime in the future, so why not give me an early scoop?"
With a long, drawn out sigh, Maia faced Stephanie, her body naked as she stood before her. "It's annoying to think that's all a politician's relationship is due, the middle pages of a shitty magazine."
"Might be worth more if you're still in power." Stephanie pointed out.
Laughing, Maia nodded. "Aye, you might be right."
