Geoffrey followed the direction given by his man; he saw a double door at the end of the hall leading to what he presumed must be the garden.

He opened the door and though it was quite a distance he instantly recognized that the lady standing in front of the entrance of the labyrinth was Serena. He was not able to see her features, but the pale pink dress she wore gave her away.

​​

She took a quick glance at his direction and entered the labyrinth. Geoffrey did not think she have recognized him given the distance and the dim lights. He smirked as he walked to enter the labyrinth himself.

Charlton kept a straight face as he danced with Annalys. Thankfully, he chose to dance the lancers with her. Lancers was a variation of the quadrille, and the steps were only repetitive. Thus, he could afford his mind to drift without making a misstep. He could not help but worry with the thought that Serena was waiting for him all alone.

"Lord Daniel?" Annalys asked. Charlton's steps were perfect despite him not even looking at her. But she wanted him to look at her.

Charlton who was only moving with the motions heard her call him. He finally looked to meet her eyes.

Annalys smiled sweetly. "You seem preoccupied."

Charlton gave her a polite smile but did not say anything. He just wanted the song to end so he can leave.

Annalys got the hint and just thought that maybe he wanted to use the toilet. Definitely, Lord Charlton Daniel would not have attempted to leave the ballroom without good reason when it was their turn to dance. Satisfied with her own thought, she just enjoyed the moment.

When the song finally ended, Charlton led Annalys to the table where the ladies were and excused himself.

Annalys thanked him and just observed him as he quickly exited the ballroom. She wanted to follow him, but her next dance partner was there to claim his dance.

Reaching the middle of the labyrinth, Geoffrey saw Serena standing by the fountain, her back facing him. As the only source of light were the moon and the stars which were hanging brightly at the night sky, the area was dim. However, Geoffrey could still see her clearly and perhaps it's the color of her dress or the crystals in it that reflected light, but she seemed to sparkle.

Geoffrey walked towards her. She did not turn to look at him, and he wondered if this was a game that she and his cousin usually played.

Serena heard his footsteps behind her, but she wanted to be a little dramatic. She smiled when she felt his presence behind her.

Geoffrey leaned forward and wrapped his hands around her waist. With her hair in an updo, her shoulders and a portion of her back were bare. Knowing that her body trembles when he kisses the portion of her back just below her shoulder and near her neck even asleep, he did just that.

Serena gasped when she felt the kiss landing on the area near her neck. He never kissed her there before. Then, she felt him continue peppering her back with kisses eliciting goosebumps all over her body. It tingled and it felt good. It immediately made her wet to her core.

Geoffrey held her closer, her back pressed against his front. He continued showering her back and shoulders with kisses, and he enjoyed hearing her gasping breathily, feeling her body trembling in delight. Becoming more daring, he moved his hands upwards to touch her soft mounds.

Serena felt him groping her and being too aroused and wanting to feel more of his touch, she instructed in between gasping breaths, "you have to remove the ribbon of my corset which is holding my dress up."

Geoffrey smirked and used his teeth to pull the ribbon. Her dress loosened making it possible for him to pull her dress down, her breast become exposed to the cool night air.

Serena moaned as he used his fingers to tease her hardened nipples. Lately, her breast felt a bit swollen, and they were very sensitive.

Geoffrey wanting to suckle them turned her around and so as not to show her his face, he quickly attached his mouth to her breast, suckling and nibbling them, while he was holding her back to press her closer to him.

Serena felt powerless as she moaned in delight, not recognizing immediately that his hair was black instead of brown given the darkness of the night.

Geoffrey showered each of the orb the attention they deserved. He was enjoying this, and he wondered, could the traitorous snake see them now?

Charlton stepped out to the garden and scanned the area, not seeing Serena, he assumed that she must be inside the labyrinth. Wanting to find her soon, but also not wanting people to notice he's there just in case. He walked inside stealthily.

Knowing her, she should be waiting for him in the middle. As he walked around the maze, he heard some gasping and heavy breathing, and he wondered if there were another couple in the area which were doing something they should not. He shook his head as he smiled. Well, it's not like people in their society were all innocent. In fact, he can come up with some names of those engaging in premarital sex and other funny businesses. Even the ladies.

Anyway, he needs to get Serena out of there and back to the ballroom if that were the case. It wouldn't be good for them to get discovered.

Finally, he saw the wide span of area which should lead to the middle from where he's at.

The gasps he was hearing turned to moans. Then he furrowed his brows. Serena?

He walked faster and from where he was at, there was no mistake. Even though it was dark, he could easily recognize that the lady moaning with the man in front of her sucking her breast was Serena. She had her eyes closed and he knew that she was in a state of pleasure.
