Sylvia's POV:
Squatting next to Rufus, I slapped my palm against my forehead in chagrin.
I had been fatally poisoned before because I had accidentally witnessed Lucy's affair here. How could I be so stupid to come here again?
I was an idiot! I shook my head, disappointed with myself.
Rufus grabbed my hand and said in a low voice, "Calm down. We can wait this out."
I pursed my lips in frustration. "I shouldn't have brought you here."
Rufus chuckled and teased, "It's a... novel experience."
Just then, the sounds became louder and louder. I could clearly hear skin slapping against skin, mixed with intermittent moans and gasps, like an undulating symphony. Whoever was having sex here seemed to not give a damn. Their loud moans echoed through the trees, even scaring the egrets away.
The hair on the back of my head stood out and I found it a bit difficult to breathe.
Rufus reached out and covered my ears, but I could still hear the sounds of lust.
I raised my head sheepishly, wanting to say something to Rufus to ease the embarrassment.
But when I saw how red his ears were, I stopped myself.
It turned out that Rufus was even more embarrassed than me, which made me calm down. We were inadvertently stuck in a small forest with werewolves having sex—and this wasn't my first time.
Holding back my giggles, I leaned over and whispered, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do?" "Stop it!" Rufus pulled a long face and turned away, but his ragged breath revealed his true emotions.
Smiling mischievously, I raised his chin with my fingers. "Hey, mister! You're so handsome. Do you have a girlfriend? If not, would you be interested in me?"
Rufus went stiff under my touch. He looked at me quietly, as if something was stirring inside him.
Unsatisfied, I continued to make fun of him. "Don't think. Just seize this opportunity and enjoy the romantic atmosphere."
"No. Let's wait until we get back," Rufus said in a low and hoarse voice. His eyes were unfathomable, even darker than the night.
I was a little unhappy with his indifference, so I drew circles on his chest with my fingers. "But I don't plan on going back to the palace with you tonight..."
All of a sudden, Rufus grabbed my hand and pressed me against the ground. "Do you really want it?"
