“Gladly,” he replies, bringing his mouth to my breasts.
His tongue encircles my hardening nipple in an infuriating tease. In an instant, he begins sucking, combining the movements of his mouth with those of his hand. In between my moans, I hear a consistent thud ring through the walls.
“Wait,” I caution. “I think I heard something.”
“What exactly?” he asks, his brows furrowed. He clearly isn’t happy with my request to stop.
“It could be someone coming this way. Don’t you hear it?”
“It’s nothing,” he says, returning to what he’d been doing.
“I just think that – Fuck! Just like that…”
Carus shuts me up with his work as I ease back into sex. The thudding comes again, this time closer.
“Stop!”
“What is it now?” he snaps. “You’re ruining it!”
Before I can say anything, there rings out a muffled voice that induces a wave of dread.
“Shana!” the familiar voice of Calindra calls out.
“Don’t fucking move!” I tell him, throwing the blanket over him and pulling it up to my neck.
My heart almost beats out of my chest, but I can’t tell whether it’s from the fear of being caught or the thrill of having sex right here in the temple.
The door to my quarters flies open as Calindra appears in the frame. She strides in with a warm smile on her face which I return.
“Getting an early night in?” she asks. “I brought you some tea.”
She sets down a mug on my bedside table. All the while, I’m hoping that Carus’s tunic isn’t visible from where she stands.
“Thank you, Calindra.”
“How are you doing?”
I’ve got to get her out of here.
She takes a seat on the edge of the bed, only inches away from Carus. The blankets are thick enough to hide his shape but even then, there’s always the chance he’ll shift noticeably.
I don’t even want to think of what’ll happen should he be discovered.
“I’m fine,” I say, folding my legs to further conceal Carus.
“Are you sure? You seem a little startled by my entry.”
“I’m sorry. It’s just that I was about to fall asleep.”
Please, just leave!
“My humblest apologies,” she says, bowing her head. “I would not have entered had I known.”
“That’s alright,” I say reassuringly.
I clear my throat when I feel Carus moving slowly towards my breasts, taking one in his hand.
“We seem to have made a habit of never knocking before coming into each other’s quarters,” she says.
