A/N: Based a little on something my friends and I made up about some male teachers in my school...anyway...

Three Minutes in the Midnight

Tanith dragged Ghastly by his tie through the front door of the Midnight hotel and pulled him to her to once again devour his lips with her own.

"Tanith," he said breathlessly, puting his hand around hers to stop her. "Are you sure about this?"

Tanith grinned. "Absolutely!"

"But do you think Anton will be okay with this?"

"Gaz, he has a VAMPIRE living here. He might be Skulduggery's friend and all, but I don't think he will have too much of a problem with US staying the night. Now come on, gimme a kiss."

Tanith pushed Ghastly into the reception desk and clamped her mouth around his. Ghastly gave in and put his arms around her.

Anton came out to reception from the back room to find Tanith Low and Ghastly Bespoke kissing feverishly against his desk. They seemed too busy to notice him, so he cleared his throat.

They broke away and looked at him.

"Oh hey, Anton," Tanith said with a grin, licking her lips. She looked up at Ghastly cheekily. "We'd, um, like a double room, please."

"I'm sorry, Miss Low," Anton said slowly, walking over to his ledger of bookings. "But all of our double rooms are booked."

"What?" she exclaimed, outraged, letting go of Ghastly.

"Well, Finbar Wrong and his wife have a room booked for a few days, and China Sorrows has booked one for herself and a...client." He looked down at his book. "Although, you may be in luck. I think one of the rooms is being vacated shortly."

Right on cue, Solomon Wreath stumbled down the stairs. He caught sight of the three of them and adjusted his suit jacket, smoothing a hand though his hair.

"Thanks for the room, Anton," he said, trying to stay calm and tossing the keys to Anton. "We made good use of it."

He nodded his farewell and turned to leave, Billy-Ray Sanguine coming down behind him, wiping his mouth.
