A Night Delayed

Cassian felt a little annoyed by her no-kissing rule, but since it only applied to her lips, he didn't mind too much. Instead, he focused on her neck, trailing a series of lingering kisses down her skin.

Sher, already excited by his touch, watched him with growing anticipation. But just as she was starting to lose herself in the sensation, a sudden knock on the door made her body tense.

Cassian paused, his lips hovering just above her collarbone as Sher turned toward the door and asked, "What is it?"

"Apologies for the disturbance, my lady," the voice from outside called. "The young lord is on his way back to the mansion. He's at the city gates and asked me to inform you that he'll be arriving soon."

Sher let out a small sigh of annoyance before responding, "I'll be there in a minute." Then, turning back to Cassian with a smirk, she added, "Sorry, lad. Looks like we'll have to put this off for now."
