Sister Imperator had become increasingly suspicious after the last rehearsals with the ghouls. Usually the woman had eyes and ears within the entire church with several siblings taking part in spying. However since noticing the tension with Dewdrop and the others, Imperator had asked a few more sisters to keep a closer eyes on things.
It came as a surprise when one noted the fire ghoul slipping into the Cardinal and prime mover's corridor. There wasn't a reason for anyone to be spotted behind those doors unless noted by Cardinal or per the Imperator's request. It raised a dangerous alarm to the women who knew Dewdrop's reputation with the clergy.
There was a significant doubt that the Cardinal would be calling upon his ghoul late into the night but the prime mover? Sister Imperator wasn't an idiot by any means. It was obvious the woman was unhappy with the engagement and wasn't too keen with her fiancé. No matter how hard it seemed she had tried within the first week but the efforts dropped significantly the past few weeks.
However to seek comfort in a ghoul, a fire ghoul at that, came as a surprise to Sister Imperator. Miss Amato seemed so timid about everything whereas Dewdrop was nothing of the sort. If anything, his antics wore the women down every rehearsal and wasn't sure how the past Papa's dealt with it.
Sister Imperator just wasn't quite sure how to approach the issue which left her feeling less in control. If the future prime mover was fraternizing with Dewdrop, she'd have to either send her back home or take more drastic methods. It was one thing too freely have sex within the church but not when you had a duty to uphold to the clergy and to the future Papa Emeritus. Sister Imperator wasn't going to allow some random women embarrass her son. Either Dahlia Amato would step up to the plate and cut ties to the ghoul or she wouldn't exist in this church; or anywhere anymore.
Dew purred as he nuzzled her neck, pulling her body back against him. There was light bruises painted across her body alongside several bite marks. Her laying there naked beside him and exhausted after her fourth orgasm that night was his favorite. Or really it was when she'd be smiling up at him and talking excitedly about something that newly interested her.
He somewhat hated how much softer he was growing spending time with his mate but it was expected. Of course there was moments before that Dew wasn't so irritable or messed with his siblings by setting their things on fire for fun. He actually had a softer side to him but lately it seemed only Dahlia got to see that after spending so much time together in secret.
"Did you want some tea, amore?" Dahlia was exhausted from the past few days of Dew's cycle. Cirrus wasn't wrong when assuming he'd be seeking her out that week. However after Dahlia had finished the required reading up on ghouls, there was a thousand questions racing through her mind. The sly comments from the ghoulettes before had given her the sneaky suspicion that maybe Dew had something very important to tell her.
"Hmm no but hurry back." Dew kissed the bite on her neck from earlier as she reached for her robe. The possibility of her being his mate was terrifying but yet exhilarating at the same time. Not that it was a definite thing considering Dew hadn't mentioned it but her suspicion was heavily there. Dipping the chamomile tea bag into the hot water, Dahlia contemplated on whether to bring it up or not.
What if she was just thinking too much into it and being too hopeful? Then she'd feel incredibly silly and ruin what little relationship the two had. It was terrible what they were doing as Dahlia glanced down at the ring next to her teacup. However the feeling of being with Dewdrop was incredible and overtook what guilt she had.
"Aren't the other ghouls looking for you by now?" Dahlia decided to just push aside the entire mate situation. If he wasn't going to mention it then there really wasn't a reason for it especially if she was overthinking it. There was no way she was his mate, no she was just a women stuck in a soon to be loveless marriage. Taking a sip of her tea, Dahlia sat down at the edge of the bed next to Dew who had started untying the knot of the robe.
"They already know I'm with you especially in case Cardinal asks." It was obvious how much Dew was disgusted by Copia by how he spat out his name. His possessive nature towards his mate was growing stronger throughout his cycle. Soon enough things would become increasingly difficult especially with the ceremony just a few short months away.
"I'm surprised you came to see me this week." Dahlia sipped her tea slowly while allowing Dew to pull the robe back off her. Her room was a disaster this week, clothes were scattered in various places and Dahlia had zero energy to clean it up. Cardinal had been under the assumption she had caught a little stomach bug or maybe it was a cold, honestly she couldn't remember at this point.
"Why wouldn't I have? You're mine, kitten." Dew held his mate's face in his hands to pull her into a searing kiss. Thankfully the teacup was practically empty when she let it slip from her hands onto the floor. Dahlia wasn't sure she could ever tire from his affections or his presence in general especially after this week. Even when he wasn't fucking her senseless, he'd been extremely attentive towards her. It was hard not to start feeling something towards him but Dahlia was too afraid to admit it out loud that it was possible that she may love him.
