Sybil turned her head, looked at the invitation still sitting on the nightstand. Indulge.
And then he took her. Slow at first, then deeper, harder, until the glass fogged with her breath and the city lights blurred into streaks of gold and red. She cried out, and he swallowed the sound with another kiss. He held her up when her knees buckled, turned her around, laid her on the cool sheets of a bed she hadn’t noticed.
