Universe The Malfoid Universe
Mione
Malfoid
Porter
Corvina
The estate's debt can be settled in term: hours off the end of a life, surrendered by a willing body asleep in the term bed. Hours only come from someone who is sleeping well, and nobody sleeps well alone in that room. Malfoid has eleven thousand pounds of debt and one short life, and the market closes on the fourteenth.
The document gets them into the room. The countdown means they cannot leave. The sex is what happens because they are both there and neither of them is any good at talking.
