The shift in atmosphere was immediate. The playful energy between them settled into something warmer, more intimate.
Ragnora gestured toward the living room.
"Please, come in. Sit by the fire. I'll...I'll make tea."
"There's no need for tea, Commander." Cassius walked inside, making his way to the sofa that faced the fireplace. "Lets just get straight into it "
Ragnora gulped, realising she wasn't going to have any time to warm herself up.
But before closing the door, she glanced outside, looking left and right to make sure no one had seen him arrive.
'What am I doing?' She thought. 'I'm acting like a woman sneaking around with another woman's husband.'
Well. She was sneaking around with another woman's husband. But Isabellehad approved. So it wasn't really wrong.
Wasn't it?
She pushed the thought away and closed the door, hurrying to join Cassius on the sofa. She sat on the opposite end, maintaining a respectful distance.
But Cassius clicked his tongue. "Not there."
