Silas's jaw clenched as he spotted Maya. "What are you doing here?" he barked with astonishment. "This is..."
His sentence was cut short as Maya lunged, her arms wrapping tightly around him in a desperate embrace. "Silas," she rasped hoarsely, "it's unbearable. Don't torment me like this."
"Maya!" Silas recoiled, instinctively trying to push her away. However, Maya clung on, burying her face in his neck.
"I know you want me," she pressed with desperation, "but you are afraid of being caught." Her words tumbled out rapidly. "I promise I won't let anyone find out about us – not Luis, not Esme…Just make love to me." As she spoke, she trailed a kiss down his neck, deliberately finding the sensitive skin beneath his collar, leaving a glaring red mark.
"Have you lost your mind?" Silas roared, finally managing to push her back. "Get away from me!" He spun on his heel and bolted, leaving Maya scrambling after him.
