Stolen moments

Atlas stared down at Meredith with furrowed brows, his mouth a grim line, as the knock on the door sounded again.

"What should I do?" Meredith asked, panicked laced in her tone.

"Go and open the door. I will hide in the bathroom." He murmured hurriedly.

Meredith nodded and quickly put on her nightwear. As Atlas got up from the bed, Meredith noticed his big bulge. She flushed and tried not to lick her lips as she watched him put on his pants.

"Princess are you there? I hear some voices, are you okay?" Maria's concerned voice sounded behind her bedroom door.

Meredith scurried toward the door, throwing a few glances at him over her shoulder as he walked toward the bathroom.

Meredith stumbled into the small table near the door entryway, knocking a vase to the floor. It shattered noisily and she cringed.

"Princess! I'm coming in!" Maria said, panic laced in her voice.

"N-No-no, I'm fine!" Meredith shouted once she opened the door.
