The appreciation on her face at my thoughtfulness wrenches me in multiple directions. Katrina is almost as stubborn as I am, and whilst she will never verbally show her gratitude, I can see it glowing off her radiant skin. Like a flower, appreciating the sun for shining.

“What about my friends, they must be worried about me. Can you…can you let me talk to Miles?” Katrina asks unsurely.

“Andy has told Miles that you’re on a writers retreat. Your friend, Pippa, is also under that impression. I didn’t want them to be involved at all, we are all being watched and any unnecessary interactions could make them an unwilling pawn on our enemies board.”

We are still sitting across the table from each other, the heat from our combined bodies creating an unbearable void between us that I’m dying to fill. I know how difficult it’s going to be to resist her when she’s under my care and in my home. Knowing she is only ever a few steps or a few floors away at any given time. She should hate me ten times over for the ordeal she’s suffered through knowing me this short time, but even now as I gaze upon her, I sense that in this moment, those thoughts are forgotten, and I feel myself leaning across the table, attracted like magnets, closing the gap. I realise I’m pretty much powerless to prevent the connection we feel in each other’s company.

“How…thoughtful of you,” she breathes in a delicious concoction of trepidation and intrigue, her lips so close to mine that I shudder involuntarily, not in disgust but unabashed lust. “It doesn’t hurt to be nice sometimes, does it?”

Remarkably, in a state of defiance and temptation, Katrina refuses to back away and I take one last look at the warring emotions on her face before I grab the back of head and plaster my mouth on hers.

I expect another slap or at least some resistance, but after only a moment’s hesitation, her lips kiss me back sweetly. It’s clear to me that I have brought out a new and previously undiscovered side to my little nymph, a side I am powerless to deny. All thoughts of stopping the kiss and the repercussions that are surely to follow, leave my mind as I feel her small, warm tongue dart out to meet with my own.

I grab her from where she sits and crush her against me, her body moulding perfectly against my own. The warmth emanating from her seems to eradicate the coldness seeping from me, and I press her tighter, willing us to become one.

“Wait,” Katrina pants, “I need to ask you something.”

I grimace at the interruption and grasp the sides of the table to stop me from grabbing her again, nodding for her to continue.

“I…my brother,” she mumbles not meeting my eyes, her fingers playing with the thread coming from one of the holes of her dress. “I worry about him…in prison. And I’d feel so much better about staying here with you if I knew he was safe.
