The door wasn't even fully closed before Elise was on him.
*SLAM.* Her back hit the door. Draven's mouth on hers. Hungry. Desperate. Hands everywhere.
"Thought I lost you today," she gasped between kisses. *Chu chu.* Her hands yanking at his shirt. "Twice. Assassins in the meeting. Then you challenged Aldric in front of everyone and I thought—"
"I'm fine." He bit her neck. *Nip.* She moaned. "I'm right here."
"Fuck right here." Elise ripped his shirt open. *Rip.* Buttons flying. *Tink tink.* "I need you. Right fucking now."
No hesitation. No guilt. Not anymore.
They'd been doing this for months. Ever since that first time in her chambers. The forbidden aspect was still there—still hot as hell—but the nervous uncertainty? Gone.
Now they just wanted each other. Constantly.
Draven grabbed her ass. *Squeeze.* Lifted her. She wrapped her legs around his waist. *Thump.* Grinding against him through their clothes.
