Chapter 44 - His Calculated Torment

"With pleasure," Isolde purred, sliding off Kaelen's lap and onto her knees between his legs.
My heart hammered against my ribcage. I needed to leave, to turn around and run back to my room. But my feet refused to move, as if cemented to the floor.

"You're so eager tonight," he said loudly, his voice carrying clearly up the stairwell. His hands tangled in Isolde's perfectly styled blonde hair as she freed him from his pants.
