Simon's Proposal and Millie's Temptation
Simon smiled at Millie who was leaning into the room from the open window. Tied to her back in bondage-like ropes was the passed out Seri. He spoke in a calm voice, "Need a hand?"
Millie only glared at him, "Get out of the way."
Simon stepped away from the window with a shrug. Millie's eyes stayed on Simon as she climbed into the room. She paused to look at him as he motioned to the bed. She tossed her head irritably and walked past him. She untied Seri and carefully placed her in the bed.
Simon went over to the nearby couch and sat down on it. He watched Millie as she gently took off Seri's last remaining shoe and pulled the covers over her. Millie gave a gentle smile as she sat on the bed next to Seri.
Simon observed her before speaking up, "I have always wondered just who Seri's shadow was."
