The next morning, Auriel woke up to an empty room. The warmth of the blankets still lingered, but the presence of Priestess Lilith was absent.
She blinked, adjusting to the morning light that streamed in through the sheer curtains.
Her body still felt heavy from last night's events, but the worst of the exhaustion had passed.
Stretching slightly, she sat up, brushing her fingers against her lips as a faint memory surfaced—
The kiss and the sex. It was all very vivid in her mind.
Auriel's expression remained unreadable as she let out a quiet sigh.
'I suppose she left early on purpose. Is she the shy type?'
Choosing not to dwell on it too much, Auriel freshened herself up, washing away the remnants of fatigue before dressing in her usual divine robes.
When she stepped out of her chambers, she immediately sensed the presence of others nearby.
