Valkyrie pulled the Tame open and instead of the Tame glowing a bright white, it kept the room pitch black. With all their clothes manifested off, they joined each other on the lush bed. Valkyrie pushed herself on top of him and began kissing him passionately that made his head spin. Blinded by lust, he ran his fingers down her body and made his way down her neck with his lips.
Never had he'd been so happy before in his life. Valkyrie understood what he needed, what he wanted, what he hated. He couldn't ask for anyone more honest. He was almost tempted to cry for the first time in decades feeling her next to him. He held her tightly to him, inhaling her sweet scent.

Valkyrie felt the change of mood in Skulduggery and when he braced her tightly she knew something was bothering him. "What's wrong?" she whispered.
"Nothings wrong. Everything's perfect." He reached up to kiss her, "Thank you."
She laughed, "What for?"
"Understanding me."
Of course I do. I've spent enough time with this man to know him. "You re welcome." She smiled.
He pulled her under him and began kissing her passionately, his fingers running up her legs to the area in between. He dipped his head in her neck and she began nipping at his ear. His fingers entered her and she groaned in pleasure, her head spinning in every direction. Noticing she wasn't thinking clearly, she wondered if he was as drunk as she was.
When he finally placed himself inside her, she could no longer tell which way was up. He thrusted against her so gently she pulled herself on top of him.

He was so blinded, he barely noticed that he wasn't doing the work anymore. Her gentle play had turned to rougher passion. Kissing him forcefully, mercilessly, passionately, violently, she drove him deeper and faster inside of her. It was bliss. When she screamed out, absentmindedly he held her close, removing himself.
They laid to together breathing in each other s life, whispering in low and drunken tones, "I love you."

Valkyrie awoke to pitch darkness with Skulduggery sleeping soundly underneath her. What time was it? Very carefully she moved herself away from him and climbed out of bed. Opening the bedroom door slightly, he gazed up at the hallway clock. It was just eight in the morning. She turned to smile at Skulduggery's sleeping figure and grabbing a robe from the closet, closed the door and walked over to Gordons study.
Going through the secret room, she grabbed the echo stone and its charger. She made her way down stairs to the kitchen. Placing the echo stone on the counter, she turned it on and Gordon appeared. He didn't look too pleased.
"You did not," he hissed.
"Gordon, you have to remember I'm not twelve anymore."
"I know but Skulduggery?"
"You're a guy. You wouldn't understand." She wondered where her clothes had gone. Then she remembered the first incident. Oh no, she'd managed to destroy her indestructible clothing.
Gordon saw her change in mood, "What are you finally realizing the mistake it be to show him me?"
"Do you have clothes that would fit Skulduggery?"
"I don't know what size does he where? Of course I don't. Are you looking at this," he pointed at his stomach. "I m not only wider but I'm much shorter. Why?"
Valkyrie buried her face in her hands. This was going to be a major problem. "Okay, you're right. He can't know about you yet."
"What made you change your mind?"
She was about to answer him when she heard an odd sound. A door closing? She ran over to the nearest window and peered through the curtains. Her eyes widened when she saw Remus Crux, a group of cleavers, Ghastly, and the just arrived Tanith.
She panicked. What the hell are they doing here?!
"What is it?" asked Gordon.
"I'll tell you later trust me." She swooped up the echo stone and placed it in her robe pocket. She sprinted up the stairs and threw open the door. Skulduggery sat up so quickly, it almost looked eerie in the dark.
"What's wrong?" he asked her as she closed the Tame.
"Everything," she managed to say before she heard the door down stairs open.
"Oh crap," he searched for his clothes and then repeated, "Oh crap!"
She threw a long fur coat that she found in the closet at him and closed the door.

Quickly fixing the bed with the wave of his hand, he put on the coat and opened the curtains and window. He looked out cautiously and scaled the jump. "Wait here," he told her. Taking a step back, he jumped out the window and landed without a sound on the ground. When he felt it was safe, he motioned Valkyrie to jump.
She hesitated before jumping down to him, showing more to the world then he would have liked. He caught her smoothly and motioned her to follow him as he retreated back to a garden house in Gordons backyard.
When they reached the door, Valkyrie snapped her fingers to open the lock and once they were inside, Skulduggery locked it from the inside. They stood there silently for a minute or two.
"So who's exactly inside?" asked Skulduggery.
"Crux, some cleavers, our two best friends."
"Now what in the Name are they doing here and why aren't you dressed?"
"Hey," she defended, "I wasn't the one who manifested our clothes gone."
He made to argue back but she was right. Damn it.
"At least I managed to grab everything."
He put his hands to his skull.
"What's wrong?"
"I left my jacket and hat in the sitting room."
"Great Skulduggery. What are they going to think now? We got kidnapped?"
"Maybe. Ghastly knows I never leave my gun behind."
"Oh we're screwed."
He looked out the dusty garden window. "My keys are in my jacket..." he said almost to himself.
"Yeah, can't escape because they're parked right next to your Bentley."
He sighed, "This is great. Just perfect. Why'd it have to be you?"
"Why it happened to be me what?"
"That tempted me." He sunk down against the garden house door. "Now we have to come up with an excuse for why these circumstances have come up. We need some story and we need it with evidence."
"Don't worry," she sat herself next to him, "We'll think of something clever, but how we can get back to your house for clothes I don't know."
He wrapped his arm around her soothingly. "Wonder how long they'll stick around," he thought aloud.
"Let's hope it's not too long..."
More to come for Valduggery
