"We need to get going," one said in a low growl as he came up beside me. "Not playing with some toy at the bath house. There's plenty of things to play with at the party."
"I don't know," the other one responded loud enough for everyone to hear. "This toy is nice to look at."

Vasilia came from humble origins, and she craved to be more in life, what she never expected was, to climb so high, taken by four powerful and corrupted sinners.

I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips. Perhaps I was finally losing my mind or maybe the heat was just getting to me. Crazy or not though, it didn’t matter. These men were nobles, powerful men with pull and sway. Getting close to them was my potential foot in the door to the life of the rich and the powerful.

The 4 Faces of Corruption

I'd recognize Heiro anywhere, even with a large white-gold mask covering his entire face. He towered over Eris and stood still while her small hands explored him. Without her seeing me, I reached underneath one of the tables and pulled out one of the masks that were stashed there.


It was light considering it was made of iron and decorated with swirling patterns of filigree. The mask stopped just shy of the mouth which allowed me the freedom to close the gap between Eris and I and place my lips to the nape of her exposed neck.


When she turned to see me, her eyes lit up at the sight of the mask. Was it fear, or curiosity?


"What game is this?" She asked with eyes partially hooded. 


I did not reply, I simply kissed further down her shoulder until I reached her bicep. There, I bit her gently and reveled in the soft moan that escaped her open lips. When she pressed herself back and against me, I gripped her by the hips and jerked her back roughly.
