When they touch me (Shelagh Milano) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22
Artemisia

“Nothing.” I breathe out wide-eyed.

Was he just able to hear Cassy?

As panic rises in me, I have no better idea than to turn around and start running out again.

“Missy!” I hear him shout after me.

And just as I have reached the guardian who is looking at me confused, his growl makes my heart halt in my chest. “Artemisia!”

Climbing the stairs as fast as I can without blacking out, I leave his angry growls and the guards trying to get him to calm back down behind.

I lean against the cold door to the dungeons as I catch my breath.

Just as I’m sure to be able to walk on my wobbly feet, I get through the labyrinth I call my new home to get to my bed.

Reaching the wing with my quarters, I am about to climb the stairs to the upper floor when I see Matthew’s door standing slightly open.

Light streams out of it, and I hear feeble voices from his floor.

Are those female voices?

Jealousy spreads in my chest, while Cassy growls, ‘Who cares? Let’s go to bed.’

I scoff, ignoring her once again as I step around the staircase to open the door.

It opens to a large hallway that is adorned with sculptures. I stare in awe as I pass them, nearing the room where the voices come from.

Jumping as an annoying giggle reaches my ears, I squint my eyes to walk straight to what seems to be the bedroom.

I hesitate a moment before I pop my head in, finding it empty.

Maybe they heard me coming.

As I’m about to tiptoe my way out of there, I turn around to face a grinning Logan.

“Hello, sweetheart. Are you lost?” He asks me mockingly, holding up his phone that seems to play the annoying voices.

“Oh, you have to be kidding me,” I murmur, making him laugh.

He leans in as I sense the door behind me being opened, and Matthew’s scent intensifies.

Argh, why do they have to smell so good?

“Never heard how curiosity killed the kitten?” He asks, laughing at his own wordplay.

“We are a bit irritated about the fact that you care about Fynn this much.” Matthew’s husky whisper shivers through me as he leans in to talk directly into my ear. “So, we thought to make you show you how good you can feel with us.”

I gasp as he wraps his arms around me, making me feel his big bulge against my ass.

Oh, my Goddess.

I gulp as I look back up, my gaze locking with Logan’s.

“Why did you sneak to the Dungeons, babe?” He asks me, and I struggle to make my brain assemble a coherent sentence as I feel Matthew move against me.
