“I suppose I really should sleep in the same room as you.” Maud went to Violet and experimented with the upturning of her eyes. “For safety.” “For safety.” Violet lowered her face: a tease, not quite a kiss. Warmth sang in Maud’s body. “I want to show you something.” “Good. Yes.” Maud was so fond of the tantalising dip where Violet’s waist became the top of Violet’s buttocks. Her hand fitted there exactly. “You should show me whatever you wish.”
