No response came as she reached the landing, but Rowan was certain of the sounds she had heard. “Elfie, is everything alright?” Panic rose in her chest; what if her cousin was in trouble? She wasn’t a duelist but she knew she could be of help. Running up to the door she was about to knock and call out once more. But the sounds that reached her now were unmistakable. Breathy and full of passion, it was undeniable what was happening behind doors. On one hand, Rowan was relieved that nothing appeared to be wrong; but on the other, she absolutely knew cousin Clifford was not present in the house.
Overcome with alarm, Rowan burst into the room.
And immediately regretted it. Her cousin splayed out in the bed, ecstasy written across her face, and a man between her legs; a man who was undoubtedly not her husband. “ELFRIEDA!”
