We originally owned the house and five acres, but Sht the ten acres that buttressed our land, including Birchwater Pond and a patch of wetlands Noe had fifteen acres in which to prowl, explore, and expand We couldn’t build on four of the acres--the wetlands thes more comfortable The wetlands would be protected

Instead of carrying me to the bedroom, Trillian swept me into the bathrooan to filter into the roo, sensuous beat came on as Lindstrøh the speakers

I stared at the tub It was piled high with bubbles and rose petals, while candles lit the rooht Drea, the newest body wash and perfume I’d discovered With an overtone of vanilla and notes of cinnamon, amber, and peach, it re lights of the eye catchers, and the vast canopy of stars overhead

Starting to relax, I held out hts like tonight, I was only too happy to let hi the busks onbreath Corsets and bustiers gave my double-Ds more support than any bra could, but at the end of the day, it was nice to get out of the boots and the leather

He pressed against ently cup my breasts, his breath warm on my neck I let out a soft sound and leaned back into his e the curve ofit up to the point between them, then slowly traced a line down to the waistband ofaround my waist, he held the material with one hand, while he unzipped the skirt with the other Then he let the skirt go, and it puddled at h the room arm The combination of his touch with how tired I was ers beneath the sides of my panties and slowly drew them down

As I stepped out of the silky material, he kissed my tailbone, then trailed kisses down over the curve ofa spark withinaround front, where he slipped his hand between htly apart My stomach quaked, and I reached down to run ently stroking with his tongue

Arching , tastingme As I h, his skin ainst

A satisfied set in the bathtub My sto into the flurry of bubbles As I leaned ainst the warm porcelain of the tub, the scent of the bath wash rose to tickle ainst my skin as they floated atop the mass of bubbles

I was tired, oh so tired, and with the release of orgasht flickered softly as the hot water eased the strain out of rime that had caked onup my clothes Then he settled down on the floor next to the tub I draped htly

"Was it rough tonight?" He kissed the palo, and I slid my arour rituals, the more I realize how deeply he’s entwined with the dark moon mysteries He has incredible potential, Trillian, and I think he’s just been waiting for the right partner in order to tap into it It al with him" I pulledmy chin on them

"Really?" I snorted "I thought you’d enjoy it After all, Aeval and Titania are gorgeous And Morgaine, well, she’s no slouch and looks a lot like iven she’s a distant relation"

I like ht word Powerful wo violet But there’s a certain pretentiousness that comes with the Fae queens and, while I understand it, that doesn’t mean I care to keep their company When I worked for Tanaquar as a mercenary, I had the same reaction I can’t believe your father actually bedded her" He sobered "But, are you safe?
