Fear and lust

GRIFFITH'S POV

From the way, he yelled at us it seemed he hadn't noticed his key was missing. What is it that had him running to the hallway?

Though we never got the chance to enter, his reaction to Kara and me being in the hallway told me whatever was in there was extremely important and sensitive to him. Unfortunately, we may have just wasted the only opportunity we had of going inside. There would be no other chance now after today. Viktor would punish us severely if he caught us here once more. 

Once we reached the end of the hallway I turned to look at Courtney and immediately my heart sank from the way she looked at me. She looked embarrassed, distressed as well as visibly shaken.

 

"Oh my goodness, Your Highness, I'm so sorry," I quietly apologized to her as I quickly removed my jacket and placed it around her shoulders covering her chest.
