Marliese appears to be the harem girl least likely to call Adrian master.
:rotfl:
Okay, I found that sentence humorous because in their first interaction after Erin introduces him, we hear Marliese screaming "Master" to Adrian en flagrante (including a "Thank you Master" at the end, I believe).
Wait..where's this love scene happening? Is it happening in Mallory's room, Marli's space at the cottage, Adrian's room at SJI, or some undesignated space where Marli sleeps when off duty and not staying with either Mallory or Rain?
I thought it might be Mallory's space, and so assumed that it wasn't at SJI, but this could easily be Adrian's room.
I think Erin's depression is over seeing Cherry again and the bad Missouri memories (presumably that's where she knew the interloper from). However, at this point, it looks like Cherry and her vehicular menace handler are using that association to try to weaken the SJI as a group and Erin in particular. A change in strategy after vehicular assault didn't work and the blood defender proved formidable?
