After Vincent left, Cynthia stayed there alone for a long time, feeling inexplicably agitated. It wasn't until the sky began to darken that Gary and Victoria came looking for her, and she followed them back.
After having dinner at the orphanage, she spent some time playing with the children before heading back to her small apartment. The moment she walked in and hadn't even turned on the lights, she was suddenly pressed against the door by a hot body. His hands immediately slipped under the hem of her clothes.
Startled, she froze for a moment. But as soon as the familiar scent surrounded her in the darkness, she stopped resisting. She leaned against the door, allowing him to claim her. His kiss was intense, and his large hand seemed to pull her waist closer.
He nibbled on her earlobe, breathing heavily as he asked,
"Where did you go?"
"Went… um… to dinner with a friend…" she replied intermittently between his kisses.
