Chapter 131: Complicit

What other demon did she have lurking around her castle? She wondered...

Later That Night

Beatrice lay in Beleth's arms after a passionate lovemaking session. Beatrice always felt like she was floating on cloud nine when she was in his arms. Tonight felt different. There was a heavy silence that clung to the air. Both wanted to say something, but neither wanted to ruin the moment of pure bliss. 

Before and after they made love, it was like time stood still, and all they had to worry about was sharing the covers. Once they let the world in with talk of demons and the book, there was no going back. Beleth wanted something he never thought he would want in a million years. Peace. Beatrice wanted something she never dreamed she would have, A happy family. 

Both had never experienced it. B knew together they could have it. Beatrice let out a heavy sigh. B knew she wanted to speak. A few seconds later, she did.
