Anne pulled me to her and I held her for a while, her head against my chest.
‘I smell like airline upholstery and somebody else’s sweat. Will you take me to the shower, Pooh?’
‘Sure. Come with me,’ I said, backing off the bed. I held her hands as she knee-walked to me and stood.
‘I’d love to.’ She answered with a smile, her head tilted slightly. I led her to the bathroom.
‘All I’ve got in here is guy stuff, would you like me to go get your bags?’
‘Would you mind? I’ve got a little shampoo and other stuff in the smaller of the two. First, though, would you describe the room to me, so I don’t fall into the toilet?’
‘Oh, yeah, Sorry.’ I took her shoulders and turned her so that her back was facing the wall. ‘The bathroom is about twenty feet long. The toilet is at three o’clock, inside an alcove with a pocket door. The door opens from right to left, and it’s closed now. The sinks are along the right wall at one o’clock, and the bathtub is straight ahead at twelve o’clock. The shower is at ten o’clock and it doesn’t have a threshold, so you can walk right in. it is separated from the rest of the bathroom by a glass partition, but no door. At nine o’clock is a steam room door. Straight ahead is a long bench, oriented from twelve to six o’clock.’
‘Man, if the bathroom is like this, the rest of the house must be awesome!
‘It’s pretty nice, I guess. It’s way too big for me, though. I better go get your stuff. I’ll be back in a sec. The garage isn’t far.’ As I left, Anne was stepping carefully toward the bench, her hands sweeping from side to side. It reminded me that I should get her cane out of the truck as well.
I pattered down the hallway toward the bathroom, my bare feet noisy on the warm dark walnut floor. I knocked on the bathroom door with my free hand.
‘Come in.’
Anne was naked, her arms akimbo at her sides, a slightly vexed look on her face. ‘How many knobs does this frickin’ shower have anyway?’ she asked, holding her hands out in an expression of frustration.
I was speechless. The little Annie from my childhood was gone, and in her place was a different woman. She still wasn’t much more than five feet tall, but the captivity and injury had not been kind to her. Her hair was dull, it’s auburn gone nearly black. Her hipbones were quite pronounced and I could see her ribs gliding beneath her skin as she breathed. Her breasts had always been average sized, but her thinness emphasized their size and they lay like nearly empty sacks on her chest. She was trembling slightly, and her cheeks were wet with tears. I must have taken nerves of steel to stand up like that. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
Is it possible for a heart to break with anguish and explode with love at the same time?
Yes, it is.

I dropped the bag on the bench and swept past Ann into the shower. I turned on the heat lamp in the ceiling and started all six of the upper showerheads. I took her by the shoulders and led her into the shower, adjusting the sprays so that she didn’t drown.
‘David, you dope, you’re getting soaked! You forgot to take off your clothes!’
‘I didn’t forget. I didn’t want to take advantage.’ I said.
‘I need to hold onto you. It’s kind of disorienting in here, what with all the water coming from all around, OK?’
I stripped off and put my wet clothes in the bathtub. Grabbing her soap and shampoo and other girl stuff from her bag, I headed back in.
Her face was toward the heat lamp in the ceiling.
‘Is that the sun I feel?’
‘No, love, it’s a heat lamp. It’s about 11:00 pm, remember? There is a skylight up there, but the sun only shines directly through it in the mid-afternoon. If it’s OK, I’m gonna wash you, OK?’
‘I was hoping you would. A lot. Did you say ‘Love’ Pooh?’
‘Yeah. You got a problem with that?’
‘Nope. I just like hearing it.’
I put some wash lotion on my fuzzy thingy and began to scrub her neck and shoulders. Ann crossed her arms over her tummy and stood still. I put my left hand beside her and placed it on her hip to steady her while I washed her soft, pretty boobs. One of her hands slowly dropped until it covered mine. I felt her explore for a while, and then the other hand joined in. One hand held my index finger, the only one remaining, and the other held my thumb.
‘Is there anything at all the bastards didn’t hurt on you?’ she asked quietly.
‘Nothing that you don’t know about now, my love. Now turn around. I need to do some more cleanup.’
I got down on my knees and turned her around to face toward the river rock wall of the shower and began to scrub her back. Her hands explored the stone.
‘It’s warm. I expected it to be cold. Is this river rock?’ she asked.
‘Yeah. It’s from the Rogue River up by Shady Cove. It’s warm because I had it included in the Hydronic heat system when I had the house built. The whole place is heated with hot water circulated through the floors, and in this case as well as the steam room and the other showers, just behind the stone. Spread your legs.’
As she did, I slid the wash fuzzy between her legs and washed her butt. It was adorable, and made me think happy thoughts.
‘Would you like me to shave your legs, Annie?’
‘Actually, I can do it, if you’d rather not.’
‘Well, I’m already here, and I don’t have a lot of gauze around to stop you from bleeding to death from the nicks.’
She turned around and smacked the top of my head and said, ‘Asshole,’ with a smile. ‘Just for that you have to shave my pits, too.’
‘No problem. Anyplace else need pruning?’
‘I don’t know. I’ve never shaved anywhere else.’ She was blushing.
I got my shaving cream and got to work on her pits first, which didn’t take long. I had her sit on a stone ledge built into the wall of the shower to do her legs. For such a short person, her legs were enticingly delicate, and the looked great without several weeks of hair growth. I put my hands on her knees when I was done and pushed them apart. Ann put her tiny hands on my shoulders for balance.
‘Do you want me to stop?’ I asked.
‘No. Go ahead, if you’d like to,’ she breathed.
I lathered her mound and began to shave, changing blades after a little while. Her dark red pubic hair was sparse to begin with, and it didn’t take long to clean her up. I put a finger inside each outer lip to hold them firm while I shaved them, and noticed that her breathing had quickened. Her pussy was just a tiny crease, no inner lips were visible at all.
Ann leaned over and whispered into my ear, ‘I don’t think that part of me is clean yet. You need to do a better job.’
I squirted some body wash on my hand and began to move it in circles around her mound, occasionally moving inside her lips. Her hips began to circle lazily around on the bench as her breathing turned to shallow panting. I found her little clit, nearly buried in the fleshy joining at the top of her crease and began to flick it and push on it like a little button.
As I slid a finger into her, I was astonished to find my way partially blocked!
‘Careful there, Pooh. That’s unexplored territory. Unh, that’s good. Keep rubbing right, UHH! THERE. OH yeah… Oh, oh, oh, gonnacumm…gonnacumm…NOW!
She jerked and shuddered, and then fell against my shoulder. She started to laugh.
‘Whoa, fuck! That’s a lot more fun with help. Can we do that again?’

‘Annie! Are you a virgin?’
‘Yup. As the song goes, ‘Savin my love for you’. It was close there in Africa, but I got lucky. Hey, it’s my turn to wash you now, OK?’
‘I’m not done with the front part, yet. You have to wait.’
‘Nothing to see there folks, just move along,’ she joked.
‘I’ll be the judge of that.’ I said, kneeling again, then sucking one pendulous breast into my mo
uth, I applied just a little suction to the end. I flicked the tiny nipple with my tongue, and Ann inhaled sharply, while beating gently on my head with both hands. Her face was pointed over my shoulder, and her eyebrows were arched in surprise.
‘Oh, fuck, Pooh! That’s just real nice. That’s really, really nice. Do that some more!’
I cupped the other breast with my hand and squeezed it gently, and then slid my one-fingered hand down and plugged my thumb into her pussy. I slid my index finger around her rosebud a couple of times, and slid it in a little. Her hips started to corkscrew, and she began to make a high keening noise with each exhale. I pinched my finger and thumb together and slid both in and out more quickly.
‘Eeee, oooo. Ohhhh. Oh David! Oh David! Oh God! Oh shiiiiiiiit! Cumming againnnnnnnnOHH!’
She exploded on me and collapsed across my shoulder. My lower hand felt a sudden gush of heat as she came. I just kneeled there, with this tiny woman draped across my shoulder as she shook and shuddered.
‘Oh, boy!’ Ann said with a beaming smile. ‘I hope you don’t have anything to do tomorrow, because I think you’ve created a little monster, Pooh. OK, you’ve put this off as long as you can, mister. It’s my turn to play with your goodies. I’m just going to start right in, but remember, I’ve never done any of this before, so you’re gonna have to advise me. Hand me the soap and the fuzzy thing.’
My wife has a scar under her chin. It has been there since childhood, and is not the result of a single incident, but rather of multiple encounters with the driveway, the tree limb, the hockey stick, and any other hard object in the vicinity. When she has had quite enough guff, thank you very much, she leads with that chin, and the scar becomes visible. I believe this to constitute truth in advertising, a visual warning, similar to a tiger’s growl, signifying that your continued existence is...
“Now then, shall we make a deal, Maxwell?” the man asked, reaching out gnarled fingers to move an onyx pawn one square forward across the chessboard. The man looked up from the game, lips forming a slanted, unnatural smile. I jolted awake in a sticky cold sweat at one in the morning to a clock flashing neon light and a whistling, icy draft. The scratch of my antique record player coming to life only added to the absurd horror story cliché of waking up to find a young woman downstairs, tapping...
SupernaturalShe rushed to class, although it didn’t begin for another half hour, she just wanted to make sure that she got her usual seat in the back of the classroom. She was tall, with long dark hair that flowed to her elbows and floated behind her as she walked to her building. Her skin was mocha colored, but her cheeks were rosy from the cold biting at her, and her finger pale grasping at her messenger bag at her side. She rarely looked up, if she saw someone walking in the opposite direction she would...
DEE'S DIARY SATURDAY, MAY 5th (Continued) After a breakfast of toasted frozen waffles, he removed all of my restraints for the first time since we arrived and helped me dress in my blouse, skirt and sandals. I didn't say anything as I stood meekly in the center of the room while he walked around the house gathering up all the things we'd gotten in the sex store, putting them back in the blue gym bag. I sat sadly in the seat of the car, the bag in my lap again, as we sped back toward the...
Prologue The bulbous grey ship winked out of hyperspace and swung into orbit around the blue and green planet. Selecting the largest land mass it decelerated, flamed through the atmosphere, found a secluded location and settled to the ground on antigravity beams, it's landing pads crushing trees like matchsticks. The need for the UR-Metal had become critical and the Hive Mind was becoming desperate. It had been repulsed from this source before, this time it would not fail. 'I have heard...
Yahiko: He's a demon... (Hanya's face is horribly deformed, with no nose, no lips, and mismatching eyes.) Hanya: A demon? Heh heh... This face is convenient in its way. You don't have to like it. Kenshin: You... is that face your own... Hanya: Well now. I am a spy. My primary duties are not fighting, but gathering information. I can disguise my face in any way. I burned off my lips. Cut off my ears and nose. Smashed my cheekbones... I don't know where you're from, but in the region...
I was seventeen when I joined the fleet for the required five years. I was from a rural colony and got a shock when I started basic. Not only did we have women sleeping in bunks with us, they showered and thought nothing of being naked around the men. The first day we were paired up, normally it was men together and women together. We had an odd number of women and Jess became my buddy. They called us battle buddies because we were to do everything together and watch each others back in...
It was tough getting up so early, but the bar had changed hands again and the new owner wanted to meet everyone this morning. Reets hadn't seen a 9 am in a month of Sundays, but she dragged herself up anyway. Caryn, her lover, said, "Come on, break that law of physics!"The not-nearly-awake Reets could only reply, "Huh?""You know, physics -- `A body at rest tends to stay at rest!' -- getting up breaks the Law of Inertia!"Reets looked at Caryn with a thoroughly disgusted look and decided...
LesbianNathan and Ariel were at the city of Lake's End walking around and speaking with the various people who lived there as they waited for their contact to get in touch with them. Someone had sent a work request notice to the guild about a two person job that needed to be done, and they requested the two of them by name. It was a simple escort job, but the request that accompanied it asked that both of them come a few days early before hand and discuss the job, as it was private and sensitive...
On Monday, I was very relieved to get summoned to the principal’s office. Despite the amused looks I got from my classmates, I was feeling pretty high. Dr. Kendall had been silent since our meeting the previous week, a bit worrisome since the time before May wasn’t exactly abundant. But I trusted in his promise, and now it seemed we’d be shifting into gear. When I stepped into his office, another man was already sitting in one of the chairs. He looked vaguely familiar. I took the initiative...
"Who are you two?" asked Rory quietly as he stared at them. "Rory we're still your friends, but we're also different people than who you know. I promise I'll answer all your questions later. I'll meet you back here in about an hour or so. "Watch over Terrance. I don't believe he'll die, but if I'm wrong come get me. But for now I need to hurry and get Ariel to our room. I'll explain why I need to do this as fast as humanly possible when I return," said Nathan quickly. Moving...
The Battle of the Self. By Pippa HighHeels Synopsis: Tony Andrews battles with himself to realise his true feelings and identity. His attempts at contact with others succeeds, and events rush Tony headlong into a new world. Authors note: My first story ?Absence makes the lust? was just an erotic fantasy.

Aric was sitting the table mentally going over preparations for dinner. It was his week to cook. While Brianna was coming along with her cooking, he was still far better he thought with a smile. But she was getting better, and she was better at cleaning and laundry so he had no complaints. He was glad they took turns switching on and off each week. Even though he tried to stop it, his mind kept drifting back over the last few seasons. After Brianna and Aric were settled in they traveled a...
Dusty slowly opens his eyes and looks around and sees he's in a very nice room and Suzan is sleeping with her head down on the bed in a chair she's pulled up to the bed. It looks like she's been watching over him. As he groggily reaches out he softly touches her head, where he then starts to slowly stroke her hair. It seemed amazingly soft to him as he did. He always wondered how women always managed to keep their hair soft like that. "So she loves me huh? I guess that's why I'm more...
"And that all happened just a little over ten seasons ago?" asked Nathan slowly. The way this young man was acting he thought it was all recently at least in the last couple of seasons. Not something decades ago. "I left the city and I've not returned. Not even to see my family," said Elliot nodding yes. "But what happened to Kathryn after you left or the man she was with? Did you ever find out? Did you even want to know?" asked Nathan. As he thought about it, he realized that he...
Before lunch had been served Dusty had already spoken with the King. Even though he tried hard to keep the crystal phones they created a secret from the public, the King while bragging about them, had shown his off to a few of the nobles and visiting dignitaries. That was enough to spark a huge interest in them. Suddenly it was seen as a favor to the crown to have a few people outfitted with them, and a few others tried to curry huge favors with him to get one. Dusty and his friends kept...
Rising early Kat was up and noticed that Seth was seated at the table with his back slightly to the rest of the room. She slowly approached but she could hear him softly talking to himself. She tried to wait but eventually she got curious. "I know Marie, but we're almost done here ... you don't think you'll go early do you? Oh, not really ... Dusty met his first ghoul yesterday ... he'll be ok, but he was out cold again ... I better run everyone will be up soon. I love you," said...
While Kat had waited that morning for the three of them to arrive quite a few men had tried to "chat her up" as they passed by her going either into the city or as they left. Even in her generally loose fitting travel garb they saw the gem that she was. Somehow she managed not only to talk to them in a friendly manner, but she also managed to get some useful information while not offending anyone or giving the impression that she was willing to go to bed with any of them. Even though she...
Riding into the small town, it was aptly named "Dresden's Last Chance" There wasn't much to see but a few homes and a few businesses, maybe twenty to thirty buildings in total. Of course there was also the tavern that might have a spare room or two, but it was obvious that the Inn was more there for getting a drink than anything else. The companions reached the town about mid day. Kat only wanted to stop overnight since they were so close and give the horses a break then push on. She...
The four women entered the large city and quickly blended in with the rest of the inhabitants. Suzan was just a little unhappy Dusty wasn't with her though it had only been a little over a week since she left Dusty and headed out for the mission. Although she missed her husband, she was also really charged up to be here and was well ready to take on a new mission like this. It took them several days of travel by ship and a few more days of hard riding and just barely stopping for anything...
"Everyone, you are here for a reason and it is something that has an effect on your lives both in the past and the future," began Brianna as they were all seated around the living room. As the last to arrive, once Matt and Rayne showed up it was time to get started. As they looked around at their children and their spouses, they both couldn't believe how much the boys took after their father, even down to having the same silver forelock now in their hair as well But knowing this would be...
Nothing gives me a sexual high as great as the one I get when I am competing against people, whether men or women. This may sound strange, especially coming from a man. Not just any man. I’m a six-foot-two, broad-shouldered, heavily muscled Black stud. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t take crap from anybody and I don’t mind showing people what I’ve got. I’ve always been that way. I don’t take bull from any man or woman. It’s just not my style. I’d rather get locked up than let someone mess with...
I was pretty surprised when I got to the house and opened the garage door that the girls did not wake up. I had a chance to unload Gabby’s meager pile of stuff along with her wheelchair, before a head popped up in the back of the Range Rover. It was Gabby, and she pushed up with her right hand as she held her floppy hand up near her lips and made a ‘shhh’ sound quietly, looking down at Annie, and then back at me. I slid Annie out and into my arms, with only a mild complaint from her. ‘I’ll be...
You are a college student who is in need of some cash fast to pay for the coming semester, however there is no way you can get a job that pays that well, so you have turned to other alternatives. You are approached by one of the goth-esque girls at school who says she can help you make some fast money if you're willing to "play their game". You have no idea who "They" are or what the game might be but you're out of options. You arrive at the location mentioned in your conversation with the goth...
FetishBattle of the SexesAngi and Mike Dawes trudged up the dirt path, eyes hopeful for the first time in days as they eyed the faint structure in the distance. From this far away, they couldn’t tell what it was, exactly, but any kind of structure - any shelter from the rain - was more than welcome. It had been nearly a week now since they’d last slept in a bed, safe from the elements. That felt like a lifetime ago to the weary couple – Mike especially. ‘How far do you think?’ Angi gasped out, bone...
Miss White, Miss Black, Miss Red and me. Copyright Ian56/YEOWCH website – English Sex and Spanking Erotica. http://idav37.racyspace.com/index.html Part 1: A darker shade of white. The problem with living on the edge of temptation all the time is knowing that whilst you may have an itch you're unable to scratch due to circumstance there's always that faint possibility - or wishful hope - that suddenly somewhere one day you may find someone who is willing to do it for you. If you're prepared to...
My name is Jen. I just graduated high school last month. My Junior year following the August incident in the clearing (Origins) was spent in fear and self-loathing. I went back to school that year in fear of hearing the rumors. Wondering when the shoe was gonna fall. I had nightmares of coming to school and finding those still frames from Corey’s camera phone plastered along the hallways. My cum-drenched face, body bent over on my hands and knees, taking it up the ass. I was so...

Amber came into the house and kicked off her boots. She then put her pack down beside the door, took off her twin swords, and then leaned those swords against the door next to her pack. Her parents would be around somewhere, and after she found something to eat she would go find them. She had dropped Logan off in town, as he wanted to visit, but she only wanted to go home and unwind. As she walked down the hallway she had the same thoughts she usually did when she passed through...
Wolfgang wouldn't admit it but he was really looking forward to Kat's visit shortly. She had just called to say that she was close and would soon be at his home, and once they broke the connection he found he was rotating the crystal phone around in his hands and staring at it as he thought about her. Ever since Dusty's phones started to be the rage it had made his life far easier. Of course he wished he had access to these phones a long, long, time ago but Dusty wasn't born during the...
Dusty and Suzan quickly made a few plans between them, agreed on them, and then set about separately doing them. First thing Dusty wanted to do was make sure the kids were taken care of. He knew that getting DJ started on his training was important right then and so he made a quick call to Lori. Talking as fast as he could Dusty then explained what was going on and why he needed to send the kids to her home. Telling Lori he had the emergency covered he made the plan to send their kids,...
Dusty and Suzan reached the double doors that lead to the council chambers. They had passed a few offices that the council members and others made their own. Now they were at their destination. There was a single desk outside the council chambers, and at it sat a very striking and attractive red haired woman. She looked to conceivably be in her mid-thirties, but with mages that didn't mean anything. She was dressed in similar robes as the guard out front with the same sash over her...
Dusty, Suzan, Daniel, and Rachel all suddenly appeared on the pad next to Lori's home. The pad was large enough to accommodate five riders on horseback, but it was the four of them standing next to Dusty and Suzan's horses. Waiting while Dusty and Suzan took their horses to the stable, the four of them returned to the front of the door and knocked. "Lori seemed pretty excited when I called her, I wonder why," said Suzan as they waited "Bet she's discovered something new again. She...
While still stunned from Gemma's story, Brianna looked down at the table and said "But, but, I don't know if he even likes me back. What if he doesn't think I'm attractive enough? All the other women here are so beautiful, and I'm not that special. I don't know how to walk around like they do or how to flirt with him. And I don't really know how to cook very well. Everyone else is better than I am at everything." Gemma, looked at her stunned for a moment, paused and then started to...
"Thank you for the horses," said Marie as she looked over at Seth smiling. "I'm happy to loan them to you all. I'm just sorry how you received them, but not that you have them," said Seth. "I am too. I wished those men didn't have to die while helping others as they did, but I know those people in the town appreciated their sacrifice," said Marie to Seth. Seth just nodded as he rode. They rode in silence while they were sticking to the main roads in the forest so that they could...
As the five of them worked their way through the dungeon, they were surprised that they no longer found any opposition. There just didn't seem to be anything that approached them or tried to attack them. That bothered Dusty. They had just gone from having wave after wave of ghouls attacking for over an hour to an eerie quiet. The only thing that made it worse was the occasional dripping sound of water from somewhere in the distance as they made their way deeper into the dungeon. "This is...
Dusty felt like he was submerged in warm water. It was strange because while he couldn't see, he could feel everything. The feeling made him feel like he was surrounded by nothing and yet at the same time by everything. He could feel shapes, colors, sounds, even smells. He could sense everyone around him and as strange as it sounded he could sense himself. It was like he was looking at himself but he wasn't looking at himself. As Dusty was trying to puzzle that out, he felt child like...
Andrea sat next to the bed looking down at the face of a sleeping Daven. It was hard to believe watching him that this was the same face of the young man who was the terror of husbands and fathers alike. Likewise it was hard to believe this was the same face of the young man who was well known as well for his uncommon attractiveness. If it wasn't for his barely hidden arrogance, that few who got close enough to him could see, she herself might have found him more attractive. He always...
Melkin had to admit that Dusty was coming up in the world. When he brought him here he was someone who had nothing and had to start at the bottom. The council thought that this was the best way to do it and that it would make him more dependant on them for things he needed to survive while here. But not only had he started with nothing and grown, but he had been knighted, received a title and land, and was now turning a pretty decent profit. No one had expected him to be able to prosper...
"Galen? Galen? Yes I know of him. He's one of those mages who seated themselves on their useless council. Don't you know that his meeting you was no accident? He was assigned to watch you. He also wanted to make sure that you didn't go power mad and crazy. While you may be stronger he's always hidden his true strength from you. "And you do know the reason that he took so long to help your son and his wife when her powers truly activated was because the council really didn't want to...

"So all the tests prove that Beth is now resistant to all forms of poison?" asked Anne-Marie as she put down one of the various reports that she had been looking over in front of her and leaned back in her chair. She now had the six of them in her office once again and she was looking them over. Once they returned to the guild, the first thing Ayden and a few of the mature Sisters did was to check out Beth. He was the best able to tell them what he did and the few White mage they had...
Groaning Terrance rolled out of the wreckage of the bookcase he was lying in. There were a few sharp points and splinters he pulled free of his skin, but thankfully none were in his face or eyes. As he looked over at the ruined mess that was a side table he saw the light stirring of Rory. "Hey, are you ok?" asked Terrence tiredly "How can any one person have that much strength?" asked Rory as he finally opened his eyes and looked at Terrance. "The way he threw us I think he only...
"Are you ready? We don't have to do this if you really don't want to. We might be able to find another way. Or we could find someone else, or..." said Kat as she looked at Rory. Rory reached out and put his hand on her arm and gently held it. "Kathryn, we don't have a lot of time and it's not like it's our first time together, remember? Ariel is running loose and it's only a matter of time before she runs into a caravan or something else, and a lot of innocents become harmed...
The next morning Dusty got up very early, before the sun was even close to coming up, and started packing his pack for the next mission. As he pulled out clothing to take with him he noticed the suede leather jacket and jeans that he was wearing when he arrived here hanging in the wardrobe in the corner of his room. Seeing them once again took him back to when he first appeared in this world just under over a year ago. A lot of things had changed. First of all he now believed in magic. It...
Dusty started to run into the room, but he stopped and took a good long look around first looking for traps. As he stepped into the room he saw Galvin as he basically finished hanging his wife next to Daniel and Rachel from a hook by a chain around both of her wrists. When Galvin stepped back he could see that her shirt was ripped badly in the front and one of her breasts was in danger of spilling out of her already heavily overworked bra. He watched Galvin seem to take a good long look at...
Two men stood looking at the prone form of their leader. They just received the report that the man wanting to join them, a Christopher Jones, was just killed by someone a very powerful. It didn't look like magic that killed him, but they also had no idea at this point how he died. The men weren't too broken up about it because they felt the fool was wrong to be experimenting on children and they wouldn't miss him. He contacted them before with a deep desire to join their ranks and said...
"Mmmmmmm ... do you really need to get up and go work out so soon? The sun isn't even up yet. You really should come back to bed. I need you. I mean I really need you. You could just as easily work out with me instead you know," said Suzan softly but in her deep raspy voice. Even with just barely opening her eyes, she knew that she had her husband's complete attention. They had gone to bed the previous night in the buff and she could see his response to her request instantly. He was...
During the first week that Dusty and the others had left Marie and Seth had met with the King and Marie trained in the yard to keep up her skills, tone her body, and generally keep busy. The King gave her one of the outer rooms that faced the parade yards so that she was well away from the other nobles but close enough that she could work out in the yard and visit with Seth. King William gave her a knowing smile as his secretary briefed her where she would be staying. Marie smiled back at...
Once out of the chamber Dusty smiled and raced down the hall to grab Suzan's hand as she was still storming down the hallway, and pulled her trembling frame into an embrace. As he did he noticed that her face was unreadable, but he could see as he did this that she was still very much pissed off. While pulling her close he buried his face in her hair. "I'm sorry honey, but should have told you that you broke nothing. If I hadn't been so caught up in self pity I would have spoken up...
"Well my dear it has been almost two weeks, I don't believe they are coming back before the time limit," said Queen Morigan as she looked over at Rachel while she stood apart from the other women. Rachel was sitting and trying to look at ease, but it was an effort with all the various other Lady's and ladies in waiting around. All the various forms of nobility were hanging around the audience chamber making light conversation about nothing and gossiping. As Rachel tried to look like she...
Once breakfast was finished Ariel wandered the guild grounds once again. She was trying to learn where everything was, and she passed various areas once again including the blacksmith shop where Nathan worked as a blacksmith's assistant. When they first arrived they found that the guild already had a blacksmith, but like the other members he went on missions because he could make more money doing that than he could having the members pay him to fix their weapons. So there was a need for...
"Ariel, I still don't see why you were so dead set against my having brought my Bastard sword with me as a backup incase of trouble. I mean you have your swords with you. I just feel safer with mine as well," said Nathan grumbling as he walked along. While he wasn't really irritated at Ariel, he was irritated at the situation. "For the very reason you just stated. You should be comfortable with every weapon you know how to use well. But that won't happen if you only carry that one...
The meeting with Rayne's parents, Aric and Brianna, went really well Matt thought. Matt met her father Aric, and if he thought the boys were larger than life, he was shocked at the father. His presence seemed huge to him. But strangely, other than a silver forelock, Aric didn't look like he could possibly be a day over thirty at best to Matt. To Matt Aric seemed far too quiet, friendly, and gentle to be the famous Battlemage he had heard of. Didn't they only love death and destruction...
"With us not finding any trace of what's happing during the day it looks like we're going to have to venture further into the woods at night," said Suzan as she looked at Dusty and Seth. "Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean we've still not found a single trace of what is taking off with the people from around here," said Dusty as he turned to look at her. "I say we give it at least one more day, maybe two tops, before we go looking for any danger that we may not need to buy for...
Aric worked hard while he was at the academy. And while it was grueling work, it was getting him where he needed to be. He wanted to finish fast to be back in Andrea's arms. He was ready to be married and with all that it entailed. The professors couldn't believe how fast he learned, and he seemed to be ready for any class he could take. The only exception was the class for Applied Black Magery, that class he refused to take. He didn't like the necromancy involved and flat out refused to...
"ARRRGGHHH!! What do we do now!" asked Andrea for about the fourth or fifth time since getting to Daven's office as she paced back and forth. Daven leaned back and watched her pace. Even though she was severely agitated, her pacing, and the waving of her arms in that dress, was doing wonders for her anatomy. No wonder he loved that dress on her and he thought again no wonder he had always wanted her. Once he got her unwound she was a tiger in the sack. He would really miss their time...
While Aric was making his way to see Aaron, Andrea and Daven were still shocked over Aric's announcement that he was through with them. To the best of their knowledge he never gave up on anyone. But for all intent and appearances he had on both of them! And to make it worse he was going to keep his word, they knew he would. Andrea still sat on the floor stunned. "Aric is done with me," she thought really worried. "Aric said he is done with me? That can't be! What am I going to do? I...
