“I’ve been wondering something all day,” he started, hips grinding against hers.

“What?”

“How long these two would keep it up in a hallway knowing full well there are other people in the castle.”

Neil and Pen froze.

“Please tell me I imagined Laszlo’s voice just now?” she whispered.

“You didn’t,” Laszlo said blandly.

Pen opened her eyes and turned her head toward the hall. Laszlo and Daniela crowded the entrance to the mudroom. Did they have no decency? Pen glanced down at Neil and at the way her sweater had slipped even farther down her shoulder to expose the tops of her breasts. At the way her legs were locked around Neil’s hips.

“How long have you been there?” she croaked.

Neil straightened and gently set her down, turning his back on the group. Pen followed his gaze down, an exquisitely clear outline of his cock protruding from his jeans.

Laszlo cleared his throat, and Pen turned to the others, fixing her sweater.

Daniela held out a bill to Laszlo, who took it while meeting Pen’s scowl.

Sorry,he mouthed.

“No, you’re not.”

“Did he bet on us again?” Neil asked, leaning toward her.

“It would appear so.”

“I betforyou!”

“I bet that you were having sex,” Daniela confessed.

“Are you going to say hi, Neil?” Laszlo called, grinning.

Neil shook his head with a look of mortification. “You know very well I can’t.”

“Can’t or won’t?”

“Both!”

Laszlo pulled out his phone, and Neil eyed him warily. “What are you doing?”

“Texting Louise. She’ll want to hear this. Damn, she was right.”

Snickering, Laszlo turned to go, and Pen motioned to Daniela, who wore a wide grin.

When the hall was clear, Pen spun toward Neil, arms crossed over her chest. “They’re gone.”

“Thank god.” Neil adjusted his pants with a grimace. “This thing won’t go away.”

Her eyes trailed down his body, hovering on the outline of his cock. “I’d offer to help with that, but they kind of killed the mood.”

“Tell me about it.”

“We also have some important things to do, certainthingsto see about.”

Neil smirked. “Nothing turns me on more than solving mysteries and stopping ghosts.”
