Tao gave a look back down the stairs to make sure William and Jeanna had not come out to see what the noise was. He opened the door to his rooms and closed it quickly behind them. The doors from the sitting area to the bedroom were still open and here things were not light or airy, but heavy. The carpet thick and a dark wine color, windows covered by draperies, the furniture overlarge and over stuffed. The bed nothing like the one downstairs but round, and in cottons instead of silks, for comfort and not experimenting. As soon as the door was closed he reached for Riley, hands pushing at his shirt and mouth seeking his.
