“Let them think what they want.” Bri laughed against her neck, brushing kisses up to her ear. “We know what we are doing.”

Lina swallowed, her chest heaving. “And what are we doing?”

“We are enjoying each other while we can,” Bri murmured against her lips.

Lina threw her head back, grinding her hips into Bri’s hand. “Gods, I enjoy you.”

Bri huffed a laugh before dipping her head to trail kisses down Lina’s bosom. “I can see that,” she said, voice dripping with desire. With one hand, she freed Lina’s breast from her dress, licking across her budded nipple. Lina threaded her fingers through Bri’s hair, holding Bri’s mouth to her chest as Bri’s tongue circled her.

“Yes,” she panted, the word barely escaping from her throat. “Don’t stop.”

Bri’s heart hammered in her chest at that command, knowing she was bringing Lina higher still. She kept the rhythm, pumping in and out of Lina, working Lina with her fingers and mouth. In two more panting breaths, Lina’s fingers tightened in Bri’s hair until her legs began trembling. Her high gasps broke into a throaty groan as her body seized, her hot core clamping around Bri’s fingers. Bri kept moving, stretching out each little sound until Lina’s muscles finally relaxed, her whole body sighing. Pleasure pulsed through Bri, a throbbing ache perfectly tuned to that sound.

Lina pulled Bri’s face back to hers, kissing Bri as if she might taste her pleasure. Bri’s hands wrapped around Lina, gathering her into her arms, as loud footsteps echoed up the stairs.

Bri knew from the sound it was Carys intentionally stomping up each step to announce her arrival. Neelo had probably told her what they had encountered when they tried to enter before.

A swift bang sounded on the door and Carys said, “Bri, we’ve found something.”

Bri let out a long breath as Lina adjusted her dress. The Princess lifted on her toes and brushed a final kiss to Bri’s lips. “I will be exacting my revenge tonight.” She gave Bri a wicked grin that had her aching for nightfall and that promise fulfilled.

“Coming, Car,” Bri shouted, her shoulders drooping as Lina chuckled at the disappointed look on her face.

“Out of this room or in your pants?” Carys called through the door.

Bri rolled her eyes, storming over to the door and unlocking it. Carys leaned against the frame, her arms folded across her chest as she quirked her brow at Bri.

“I’m not in the mood, Carys,” Bri gritted out.

Carys snorted. “Oh, I know exactly what kind of mood you’re in.” She leaned past Bri and gave Lina a wink. Bri knew Carys would be discreet, Neelo too, but it meant something that they knew. “There’s something here that you have to see.”
