Chapter 48 Calliope sat on the edge of her seat , listening intently to the sound of water running in the bathroom .
Finally , after what seemed like an eternity , the door creaked slightly as Silas stepped out .
Calliopes heart almost leaped into her throat .
When Silas settled on the edge of the bed , she took a deep breath , made a split second decision , and flicked off the lamp .
In a rush of adrenaline , she launched herself at Silas , landing squarely on his chest .
The warmth of his skin sent a jolt through her , and her nerves heightened with the intimate contact .
She could feel his heartbeat pounding just as fiercely as hers , a steady rhythm echoing in the room .
Her hands fumbled awkwardly across Silass torso ; it was her first time , and her inexperience left her flustered and clumsy .
Silass body tensed at the moment .
He hadnt expected her sudden boldness , the way she had impulsively turned off the lights and thrown herself at him .
Unsure , he remained still , cautious not to accidentally hurt her .
Her small hands roamed over him , sparking a wildfire beneath his skin , and he felt his entire being ignite .
His breathing grew heavier , and with a voice thick with emotion , he asked , What are you doing ? Isnt this what married people do ? Calliopes voice was a mix of nerves and determination as she lay sprawled across him .
Silas caught her wandering hands .
Is this what you want ? Isnt this what you want ? Calliope replied , a hint of hurt in her voice .
Last time … you didnt come home .
Were you mad at me ? Im not , Silas assured her , frowning slightly as he heard the vulnerability in her words .
She thought he was mad ! How could he ever be mad at her ? He could never bring himself to be angry with her .
Calliope paused .
But you didnt come back for days .
You didnt text or call … I thought you were upset .
Her voice dripped with grievance .
I could never be angry over something like that .
I didnt call or text because I was caught up with work and couldnt get away .

Too late .
