Trouble at the Door #devilsdaughter5

Sure enough, a knock was soon to be heard at the door. It started off quite timid at first as if in consideration for the people in the other rooms; not that they weren’t asleep anyway, then soon became a more confident thump. Lucinda wondered if this would be a timid fellow who had come to check out the noise or a more enforcing guard who had come to enforce the law. Whoever it was, she had to dispose of them without disturbing Luke. Using a plump pillow that was smaller than her left breast, she slowly eased it under Luke’s head, then lifted it to extract herself from underneath him. Then she lowered him gently back down to the remains of the bed, guiding her hand across his back as she did so. The last thing that she wanted at this point was for Luke to wake up, so she grabbed a towel robe that was hanging off the door and wrapped it around the top of her legs.
