"It's a beautiful night," whispered Druella. Cold wind whipped around her and Abraxas as they stood on the balcony of Black Manor. "The moon…"

"Pales in comparison to you," Abraxas told her.

Druella blushed. "You flatter." She dropped her head, allowing her pale curls to shield her face. "And… you should go… Cygnus will be back in the morning…"

"All the more reason to make the most of the night…"

Druella's breath caught as he pushed her slowly against the railing of the balcony, lips pressing against hers…

The silent night was disturbed only by their soft sighs of pleasure.
