Room Beneath the Stairs
“It had been a wonderful afternoon. Boisterous, playful, Grey had shown me through the house, pulling me from room to room, pointing out various treasures, pushing me behind a door for a lusty kiss. As enthusiastic as a child, he taught me how to play billiards in the billiard room, laughing when I made mistakes, sulking a bit when I finally beat him. Later we had gone up to the bedroom, and now, moving down the wide hall, I felt happy and fulfilled … and disappointed in myself.
I had been so fu...ll of good intentions. I had intended to have a serious talk with him today, to point out the many reasons why we couldn’t stay here on the island. I had intended to persuade him to leave, but Grey had teased me, wooed me, made me forget about everything but the sheer joy of being with him. It had been a wonderful afternoon, yes, but how many more would we be able to share in this atmosphere? We would talk tomorrow. Tomorrow I would be more resolute, not so easily charmed and distracted.
Lamps burned warmly in the main hall downstairs, but there was no one about.MoreLess
