A World Made For Whores

5: Talking

Glacier giggles as they travel through the winding corridors, just like they have nearly every day for the past few weeks, hand in hand. Her time with Night is the only time she is truly happy and vise versa for him. He pauses, leaning forward as if listening for something.

"Sorry my dear Glacier but I'm going to have to kiss you now."

"Oh no." She mumbles with a smile as he pulls her against him. As soon as his lips touch hers molten lava fills their veins, the kisses earnest. He takes a step forward pushes her into the wall. She runs her hands through his hair as his tongue traces the crease of her lips. She pauses, thinking she heard footsteps, but not for long as Night's hand grips her bottom. She gasps into his mouth.

"Night my boy. I hate to interrupt but I need to speak with you." His father's voice cuts through the moment.

Night pulls away. "Wait for me in my room." He says, loud enough for his father to hear clearly.

He walks off, leaving her dazed.

"I wanted to discuss the annual charity auction with you."

Night sighs. He doesn't wish to discuss this.

"Oh come on now. It's for your mother." His father's voice sounds sad, a rare emotion from the stone man. "She always loved that orphanage. It raised the beautiful woman. It's the least we can do in her honor."

"I know father." Night loves to look through the castle in search of items for the auction every year. Perhaps he could bring Glacier along with him this time.

"What are you grinning about?"

Night looks over at him. "Just the adventure of finding the things in the castle for the auction. It brings up some of my best memories."

Searching through the castle was his favorite thing to do with his mother. He father stops, turning to face him.

"You remind me so much of your mother. You're always so kind and clever. And your eyes." He smiles nostalgically. "Just like hers. She always hated that they had named her Amber after the color. She would say 'My eyes are not amber, they are the stars.' That's why she insisted we name you Night. Just like the night sky."

"I remember." Night smiles back.

He clears his throat. "But if you would begin finding things."

"No problem dad."
