She lay back in the flowers and reached for hiainst bloodred petals He knew he’d never forget this sight for the rest of his immortal life

"I can barely think past this fever for you" Her eyes were lus he didn’t have the experience to recognize

He sensed a vulnerability in her that he wouldn’t have expected

As he knelt between her thighs, he said, "Worry not, Melanthe I’ll be good to you I’ll be true to you"

"If we do this, weback from"

"Go slow at first" With a s as you can"

He tilted his hips toward her Just as da, sending the crown slipping up and down her wet folds

A growl rose up froue, on his fingers, covering his shaft
