Chapter Seventeen

Penelope was awoken by Ruby moving in her arms.

Her grip was so tight that really it was no surprise Ruby was struggling to roll over in her sleep. Penelope groaned and opened her eyes, letting her arms loosen.

“What time is it?” Ruby asked and stifled a yawn with her hand. She then brought her wrist up close to her face, trying to read the time on her delicate wristwatch. “I think it says eleven thirty…or after it.” She frowned, an adorable pucker appearing between her brows. “It’s hard to tell for sure. Judging by how utterly exhausted I feel, it definitely hasn’t been that long since I fell asleep.”

“I think an hour at most.” Penelope brushed her nose against Ruby’s and asked, “How tired are you?”

Ruby laughed. “Is that your way of asking if I’d be up for another round?” Ruby laughed again, louder, when Penelope nodded in answer. Her hand landed on Penelope’s waist, and she shook her head. “You are adorable.”

Ruby surged forwards and sealed her lips over hers. No longer caring about having a witty retort, Penelope lost herself to the kiss. She opened her mouth and grazed Ruby’s tongue with her own as her hands pawed and grabbed her skin, eagerly pulling her closer and closer.

The hunger in her veins was so insatiable that Penelope was certain they could spend all night doing this and it still wouldn’t be enough. Though, if their stamina kept up, she was more than willing to see if there was such a thing as being sated in her lust for Ruby.

Ruby’s hand moved its way into her hair, nails scraping her scalp and tugging her forwards.

There was no way they could get any closer. Their bodies were already pressed together in a long line, thighs wedged between each other’s, ankles tangled, hands gripping, lips never breaking apart for more than a brief inhale of air.

Penelope grinned and trailed her fingers in a featherlight caress over Ruby’s side, hip and thigh as they made their way to the apex of her legs.

Just when Ruby’s thighs had fallen open, she and Penelope sprang apart with startled squeals as the ship shuddered, propelling Ruby forwards and into Penelope’s arms.

Penelope just managed to brace herself to stop them both from falling out of bed. A grating sound, like long nails being drawn down a blackboard, screamed into the silence of the night, and it made her blood run cold.

Then it was suddenly over, and the silence was all-encompassing. The only sound was their ragged breathing as they lay frozen in each other’s embrace.

Penelope’s grip was like iron around Ruby’s shoulders, her knuckles white from holding her close. Her foot was pressed into the mattress, her hip aching from the force she’d had to put behind it to stop them from tumbling from the bunk to the floor.

“Penelope…?” Ruby’s voice was weak, small, and Penelope tightened her hold even further at the sound.

Her lips found purchase on Ruby’s forehead. “I’m here.”

“What… What was that?”
