Chapter 73 - Friends Not Forever

"Goodnight, Oli Baby." Laura said, locking the door to her room as she slipped into the darkness that was a little by the lit furnace at the fireplace.

"I want to lay with you tonight," Oliver said, his hand on the door while he looked up at Laura, ensuring that the door wouldn't come close just yet. "I wanna hear you scream my name at the top of your lungs."

"You already did that this afternoon," she blushed, clicking her claws against the frame of the door.

"Well," he looked up and down at her slowly, "I wanna do it again, my Raaa Queen."

"Oh, Oli Baby." She moved a little, poking her head through the door, her lips grazing against his lips, while he quickly used the opportunity to deepen the kiss. "Some other time," she protested pulling away. "This Princess has some duties to attend to."

Her hand snaked through the door and she twirled a finger around his braided beard.
