The cart moved in the cart path and Amelia noticed that it was pretty dark, only the cart path was lit. “I think we should come some other day,” she remarked. “It is so dark that I cant see anything.” Plus she really wanted to go back. It was already 10PM and somehow she regretted the idea of coming with him to inspect the golf course in the dark. She didn’t know why she was having so much confidence in this stranger that he would not allow anything wrong to happen to her. 

Vargauz closed the door behind him. When he was gone, Amelia relaxed her tensed shoulders. She was shivering. He removed her jeans and the white shirt and dropped them on the carpet. She stripped off her undergarments and then walked to the bathroom. The bathroom was so luxurious that for a moment Amelia gawked. Right in the center was a Jacuzzi that could easily fit three people and a big showerhead was fixed over it. On the sides were cupboards that boasted of aromatic soaps, candles and fluffy white towels. The lights were soft and just enough for her to feel warm. To her surprise,

Amelia had closed her eyes. She was bathing in his scent. It was intoxicating. Or was it that she missed this kind of love and warmth? Would he also leave her? Vargauz’s wings susurrated as they spread around her. He wanted to make love to her, merge her with his soul and drink her in. He had waited for her all his life.

Why was everything linked to her? Why did her father marry Lyrie? Her skin was clammy and she could feel tremors in her hands and fingers. In order to hide it, she clutched the hem of her shirt. The sound of her heartbeat thrashed in her ears. Her facial muscle tensed. She knew something was off with her stepmother but she didn’t expect her to be so twisted that she sacrificed her, like threw her in the depths of the river. She started having such high regard for Vargauz that her eyes filled with tears. A lump formed in her throat. He didn’t think twice to sacrifice his life in order to save her. Xikouth tilted his face to watch her expressions turn from that of terror to pain to anger. She glared at him as sudden anger filled her mind. What was this man doing here if the mission was accomplished? W

Vargauz looked at her and smiled. He wrapped his arms around Amelia and said, “I am so grateful to the Fae spirits that I found you.” Amelia closed her eye
