"So why does Saetan have his back up?"

"Because, despite Daemon’s efforts to shield the bedrooh the shields and makes the darker-Jeweled residents itchy And neither of them wants to broach the subject with Jaenelle to askher to create the shields since she’s happily oblivious to anything but her Consort at the moment--and Saetan, not to mention Daemon, wants to keep it that way"

"That was taken care of I had the impression that Daeht now, he wants to enjoy his Lady’s bed"

"In that case, Saetan should have a few days’ reprieve fairly soon" Lucivar glanced back at the lights shining fro his own Lady’s bed as soon as Daemonar was asleep But he asked politely, "Do you want to come in? I have some yarbarah"

"Thanks, but no," Prothvar replied "I still have to report to Andulvar" He said good night, spread his dark wings, and vaulted into the night sky

When he entered the eyrie, she was standing in the kitchen doorway She smiled in that quiet way that always excited his body and thrilled his heart

"I was going to ht"

He returned the sh kiss "I have a better way to warm you up"
