Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 97

I felt only slightly better since the police came and truth be told, it was thanks to the small amount of attention lavished on me by Constable Davies rather than any police presence. Interestingly, Pearl had been less vocal since the incidence with Hematite. The other animals were also sombre and shared in our collective grief. 

As I paced my living room, Jade and Mawsie slithered over and I wrapped each about me protectively. Not many people felt comfortable around snakes and this was a good thing. Opening my door to my personal dungeon, I paused at the wall where he had pressed his warm body against mine only hours earlier and a warm blush spread through my body. On queue, the doorbell rang.

I looked at the camera and noticed it was him. He looked even more handsome out of uniform than in it and I was a sucker for a man in uniform! Pressing the release button, he pushed the gate and let himself in. Glancing at my attire, I realised that I had not really planned on his return and shrugged. If he was interested, he would just have to take me as I am.

My sheer top and long black dress, accented my slim but curvy figure optimally and my bare feet let me walk soundlessly about my house. The only accessories were my two babies wrapped about me; Jade as a shawl and Mawsie as a belt.

There was a soft knock on my door and I opened it. He looked at the two snakes and grinned.

"May I?" he asked, indicating to Jade.

"Sure. Just let me uncoil her first. Actually, it may be better if I give you Mawsitsit instead as he is less temperamental at present. Jade is pregnant."

He raised an eyebrow but said nothing as I let him hold Mawsie. Mawsie, however, didn't like being handed over and hissed in annoyance. 

"On the other hand, maybe it isn't such a great idea. Give me a second, I'll go put them both away," I spoke as I walked over  and draped the two on their tree branch. He had followed me and stood close, his breath fanning my neck warmly. 

I swallowed and shivers ran up my spine when I felt his hands on my waist.

"I had hoped for a personal tour of your dungeon," he whispered.

Turning in his embrace, I planted a kiss on his cheek and pulled him over to my playroom.
