taking you for granted. You must tell us if we ever make you feel that way, OK?” Dr. Jay put an arm around her and gave her a gentle hug as she nodded. Her heart was thumping hard.
    “You do want me to keep coming, don’t you?” she asked with big eyes as he loosened his grip.
    Dr. Jay lifted her chin with one strong finger, making her look right into his beautiful blue eyes. “Yes. We want you to keep coming here.” He spoke clearly, looking right into her eyes, and she felt her stomach lurch.
    The handsome doctor planted a kiss on the top of Melantho’s head and she blushed.
    “Come on, let’s get you home,” Blandon said, leading her to the door.
    Melantho yawned as they walked hand in hand up the path which led to her little stone hut.
    “You look worn out,” he told her with a sympathetic smile.
    “I feel quite odd, to be honest,” she replied with a frown.
    “I won’t stay long then. You’ll need to get lots of rest, Dr. Jay said. But tomorrow we need to talk.”
    She stared at him as her stomach churned again. She was hoping he had forgotten her outburst this morning. Evidently he hadn’t. Damn!
    “I did something which upset you and I need to know what it was,” he explained, obviously noticing her expression.
    “Well, I…” she began as he opened her front door. She stopped speaking abruptly when she saw that Sapphire had her men over.
    There was a rustle of clothes as they quickly straightened their attire, and they stopped the kissing and groping which they had been engaged in on the floor of the main room. As all cooking and washing took place outside the huts, the main room was used as a sitting room, although there weren’t all that many chairs available. Often they would sit on the floor if need be, but as all meals were eaten outside there wasn’t usually much need for sitting around in the little huts at all.
    Sapphire stood up, smiling brightly as they walked in. “You’re back early.” She didn’t seem at all embarrassed. The Sirens were used to having sex in front of each other all the time when they had to seduce the sailors on Destiny Rock.
    “She wasn’t too well. Dr. Jay said she needs some rest,” Blandon explained with a frown.
    “Oh no, what happened?” Sapphire’s massive blue eyes shot to Melantho and she went over to put an arm around her. “Are you OK, honey?”
    “I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Melantho assured her.
    “She is not fine,” Blandon corrected firmly. “She had a nasty shock today and it left her feeling quite poorly.”
    “Come on, we’ll get some cool water and cookies and go sit outside for a bit. You can tell me all about it,” Sapphire said gently, as she nodded to Marinos to fetch the refreshments.
    They sat on the soft grass outside the hut as the afternoon sun began to set, and Marinos handed around the cups.
    “Was it anything to do with that ugly old witch that came off the ship?” Delmer asked with a frown.
    Blandon nodded.
    “Who was it?” Sapphire frowned.
    “Hermandine. And ‘witch’ is right. There’s something odd about that woman.” Blandon narrowed his eyes as he thought about her.
    “Hermandine was here? What on earth did she want? She’s got no business on Refrainia anymore—especially after she tried to sell the place from under us!” Sapphire was clearly appalled.
    “She wants Mel to go and look after her and her old crony over on the mainland. Expects her to go over and be their servant, she says.” Blandon was clearly angry.
    Sapphire stared at Melantho. “She’s not serious, surely? Why would she think you’d want to do that?”
    “Oh she’s not bothered what Mel wants . She’s telling her that’s what she has to do.” Blandon sounded incredulous.
    “I hope you told her to go to hell!” Delmer was fuming.
    “We didn’t put it quite so eloquently but I think she got the gist,” Blandon replied with a smug grin.
    Melantho stared at him and she got that awful nagging feeling in her stomach
