Oh God ....what was in that mead last night" Chase frowned even before she opened her eyes, one hand rising to rub at her forehead to soothe the ache in her head as she opened her eyes.
At first glance, there was nothing out of place around her. A room in the Red Dragon Inn; that was fine, that was where she was staying. But she didn't remember moving the dresser over there, or drop her clothes on the floor as a rule. Something moved in the bed behind her and she gasped, clamping one hand over her mouth.
Wide-eyed, she turned to look, dreading what she was going to see. Oh God, Ivan. The flirty man she'd met when she'd first arrived here. Two days ago. Oh, this was not good, this was not good at all.
"Sh*t," she whispered, already moving to slide out of the bed as gently as she could. "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t."
Swearing wasn't usually her way, but it seemed appropriate to the situation. After all, what wasn't the best way to get a job at a newspaper" Why, become news-worthy yourself through your complete lack of restraint on your second night in town, of course! Inwardly she cursed whatever had been in that brew the gypsy had served up, creeping about the room to gather up her clothing and slide into it.
And what was worse, she remembered everything. Everything she'd said, everything she'd done, everything he'd done ....her skin flushed at the memory, but Chase firmly told her libido to take a break. She was a woman who liked to take her time, God alone knew what Ivan was going to assume after last night.
Boots in one hand, she padded barefoot to the door, almost swallowing her tongue when the click of the lock sounded startlingly loud in the quiet dawning. She looked back to the bed in alarm, but there seemed to be no stirring. Okay, that was good. Easing the door open, she slipped out into the passageway, closing the door behind her just as gently.
Never mind the water, she was never going to drink again. __________ ((This, of course, is directly linked to the effects of Lilli's Love Potion Mead, served up during the gypsy's shift on 2nd March. Anyone who experienced anything after imbibing any of Lilli's doctored treats is very welcome to post in this thread. I'm curious to know what happened to everyone else!))
