There were many things heard of about the passion halls of Dusk Court. Anything and everything happened in them as long as lust was the drive of it. People had made love shamelessly for all to see. Some shamelessly joined in groups. There were even competitions in some parts of the hall, such as who could hold out on begging for release the longest or who could simply hold their release.

I couldn't lie and say the place hadn't fascinated me, that part of me sometimes wished to get drunk on the lust of the place and be in the middle of the shameless crowd, bare before them. But the anything and everything had somehow always pulled me back. Now, I was about to enter the place with my closest of friends.

We'd made our way to the entry point of the hall from the alter room. It was hard to believe the entry point was said to be the same as all the others throughout the palace. The entrance was merely a red and blue curtain covering a dome entrance. The dome wasn't that large either and the curtain was long enough that nothing could be seen on the other side.

Greeting us at the entrance was a lady wearing a skin-tight black and white dress. Her lashes were black, long, and curled, and her hair was a very pale blue, almost white. That made her light green eyes all the more mysterious. However, there was quite a bit of age to her.

"Welcome, High Monarchs and Court guests. This is one of the entryways to the famous passion halls. I'm sure you all seek entry?" The lady asked.

"We do." Heeyoung spoke for the group with a proud smirk, hands on her hips.

The lady raised her brows at Heeyoung's confidence. Clearly, she didn't know how much Heeyoung partied despite her calming facial features.

"Now, what happens in these halls should happen behind closed doors." The woman informed as caution. She looked to us with a sultry smile, batting her lashes. "Private pleasure rooms are easily accessible and provided in the halls. Those lock upon entry and will give you plenty of privacy. However," she batted her lashed once more, "No one is stopping anyone from doing it on public display in these halls. And may I remind you it does get intense. Our incense is a powerful sedative but we only have small portions put out through the halls. They burn in the candles and, my, do they cause most of the intensity. That drug has a mind of its own, knowing what you want without you actually knowing it. It may cause you to do something you do not wish. If you would feel uncomfortable in this environment, now is the time to back out."

"Steamy." Heeyoung commented in a low voice to me.

I smiled, shifting in anticipation of what we were getting ourselves into. I wasn't planning to back out and neither was Heeyoung. However, telling from none of the talk from Yeosang and Hongjoong behind us, they weren't backing out either.

"Alright then," The lady spoke before waving her hand to the entryway beyond, "Enter through this door one at a time and take the door to the passion hall. Ladies first." The lady winked to Heeyoung and I.
