The illusion show ended. Havoc shook his head. “There was some romance in that,” he said, not caring to admit how strongly the story had affected him.

"Oh come on, Havoc! You can't have a story without a little bit of it, and there wasn't much. The central theme is Grandfather/Granddaughter. I played fair."

"If you played fair, you wouldn't try to seduce me with a suggestive story line."

"I didn't!"

"A young man only a year or so younger than I am, and a beautiful woman not much younger than you, setting up a no fault situation?"

She looked stricken. “I never thought of that! Apology. Read my mind."

He didn't need to. “You had forgotten that aspect when you chose that show."

"Acquiescence. But you're right: it is there. I shouldn't have run that show. Contrition."

"You yield victory to me?"

"I yield, Havoc,” she said sadly. “I did not mean to cheat."

Now he read her mind. She was genuinely sorry, and intended to honor her loss. There would be no more attempts at seduction. Yet her love for him was unabated.

He sighed. “Mischief. You impress me more in your yielding than in your scheming. You win."

"Confusion."

"You have your no fault affair."

"Humor?"

"Come here."

She came to him uncertainly. He embraced her, then kissed her. “Let me take you rapidly, this first time, for my passion is overwhelming my reason. Thereafter you have leave to work your wiles on me at your leisure."

"Havoc, I yielded. I love you, but I yielded. If this is teasing—"

He bore her down, almost ripping at her clothing. She did not impede him, but neither did she take any initiative. In a moment he was on her and in her, climaxing explosively.

"You mean it,” she said with wonder. “You took me."

"And hereafter you may take me. No fault."

"Of course,” she agreed faintly. Neither of them pretended that she had gotten anything from the sex itself other than the proof of his acquiescence to the affair. That victory from seeming defeat was filling her with its own type of rapture. She would have her sexual delights soon enough. “But what caused this change in you? I had thought the game lost."

"That's why. I don't want to be dominated by a woman. I want to retain control of my nature. You yielded that control. Now I can indulge with you."

"I think I don't quite understand, but whatever you want of me is yours."

Havoc wasn't sure he quite understood either, but he had made the decision. Probably it was a combination of factors: his need to divert himself from Gale, Symbol's intelligence and beauty and experience, her absolute love for him, her proximity and convenience, and the warm emotion generated by the Dancer show. He had been on guard against direct seduction, but not against wholesome emotion. He wanted to do something nice for her, and this was it. “Take me."
