With the passion of their coupling subsiding, the cardinal found that the tether binding himself to the woman had begun to fall slack. Slowly, he withdrew himself from her body's embrace and freed his hips from her vice. Though free from her hold, Hiram did not pull away from her side.

"He won't have a problem— mainly because you're looking right at him." He shrugged while suppressing a slight chortle. "The grotto belongs to me," he finally spoke with pride.
