Cassius's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Really." She looked away, her cheeks burning. "But we need to find somewhere private. The mansion is on fire. My sisters are everywhere. And Lucius could come back at any moment."
Cassius's grin returned, wider than ever. "Don't worry about that. I know the perfect spot."
He grabbed her hand and started pulling her toward the tree.
"Wait, Cassius, what are you—my clothes—I'm still exposed—"
"It's fine, no one's watching."
"The CORPSES are watching!"
"They're dead, Joy. They don't count."
She stumbled along beside him, her breasts bouncing with every step.
The morning air was cool against her skin, making her nipples tighten even further.
"There was this den I saw earlier." Cassius said, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "Right under the tree. Big enough for two people to fit comfortably."
"You want to do it in a burrow?" She gasped.
"A love nest." He corrected.
"It's a hole in the ground!"
