As Lynda nibbled at her ear, Lily slowly woke up, the stark sunlight outside doing its best to penetrate the thick wooden shutters on the window. Both of them were still stained and sticky, covered in gifts from the patrons they had served the night before.
“Someone is knocking.” Lynda said between playful bites.
She was right. Someone was softly knocking at the door to their bed chamber. Cursing softly, Lily staggered to her feet and made her way over to the door, flinging it open to find the Madam waiting without.
“Good morning.” she offered pleasantly.
“There’s nothing good about the morning.” Lily said with a yawn. “Why are you waking us up before midday?”
“An archivist from the college is waiting for you and Lynda in the parlor.” the Madam explained. “Apparently he needs a pair of whores for some special project, or problem, or something.”
“I didn’t really listen past the part where he told me how much he would be paying.” she admitted with a shrug. “So get Lynda up, have a quick bath, and then find him in the parlor.”
