Rufus Swallow gave a smile, glancing towards the shadow at the entrance of the villa, and then raised his hand to gently stroke Norris Moore's face, speaking softly, "Go to rest early."
Norris nodded, "You as well."
Watching Rufus leave, Norris turned to unlock the door. She had just inserted the key when the door was swung open from the inside. A hand reached out from the darkness, pulling her in.
Norris bumped into the wall, let out a soft grunt and felt someone bending down to kiss her somewhat forcefully. The scent of his familiar cologne filled her nostrils.
Forced to accept his kiss, she felt his tall, imposing figure pressing tightly against her, sensing his barely concealed anger.
When the kiss ended, the man bit her ear lightly, his voice hoarse and filled with hidden rage. "I'm not allowed to find you, but you went out to have dinner with other men? Huh?"
