“You were surprisingly quiet this evening,” Lance said as he entered our bedroom after having a male servant that my father lent to him assist him out of his dinner attire and into a thick, cozy robe.  Removing the robe and tossing it onto a nearby chair, he added, “I have missed you, my love…  more than you will ever know or possibly understand.”Had I not been so mesmerized by his rock hard erection and the many pleasurable possibilities that it promised, I would have questioned his choice of words and voice inflection. Or, I would have asked why his man, Radcliff, who always traveled with him, hadn’t come along this time. Both were clear clues that something was amiss.  Instead, I hurriedly threw back the coverlet that was draped over my nakedness and beckoned him with eager, extended arms to join me.With a smile that could charm a wild beast, my husband dove onto the bed.  Landing at a convenient location at

I was grateful that Lance slept through my return to the bed.  It was his habit to want sex upon awakening and I was not in the mood to do much more than brood over the information that  had just been sprung on me.What I wanted more than anything was to go into blissful oblivion, but I thought for sure that my brain was too busy mulling over the heavy load it carried to allow sleep to take over.  When I arose late the following morning to discover that my husband had long ago awakened and begun his day, I was surprised.My head felt rejuvenated, but I was still troubled by the information that I’d been burdened with. I needed to know more about this other magical group of people whose genetics I carried.  With just the little that I did know, much of my level of abilities was explained to me. My parents were of good magical stock.  So good, in fact, that Marduke coveted their abilities.  Add that to Jeremiah’s mag

It was early evening before I opened my eyes to find that I was on my bed in my bedroom.  Lance was moving about in a worried fashion.  When he saw me lift my head and look around the room with wonder, he rushed to my side.“I came back to learn that you were overtaken by the heat while strolling with Anton,” he said as he sat on the edge of the bed and took my hand in his.  “The man should have remembered that you are not used to this type of weather.  I am so sorry, my love.”My mouth moved to speak, but nothing came out.  What could I say but a blatant lie?  Since I’d done enough to wrong him, I had no intention of adding to it by lying to his face.  Instead, I laid back down and rolled onto my side.“I feel very tired, Lance,” I moaned.  “Please forgive me if I go back to sleep.”“Should I fetch the doctor?” he asked with concern.I wanted

I not only wanted to have my magic returned in a manner that wasn’t painful, but I also wanted it returned in the fastest way possible.  This meant sex.I had Anton follow me to my bedroom.  It made sense to use that room since it was also where my clothes were located.My nervousness surprised me when he closed the door behind us.  I’d only coupled with him the day before, yet it felt like the first time.  Perhaps it was because I was aware of the desire I had for him this time.“You need nay be nervous,” he said as he moved in front of me and slipped the shoulders of my robe down my arms.  Placing a light kiss on my collar bone, he whispered, “This is our last time together.  I know that you desire me as I do you.  There is no shame in it.  We are cut from the same magical mold.  It is natural and right for us to desire each other.  I say we abandon our inhibitions and make it such

“You feel different,” Nora said as she leaned against the counter opposite where I sat on a stool sipping on cool water in hopes that it would help me subdue the emotions that were torturing me. “I never realized how much I’d felt your shine until you gave it to Anton.  It’s crazy weird, but in a good way.”My sexy distant cousin sauntered into the room with the grace and confidence of a wild beast and stood next to Nora. His presence filled the room as he grabbed an apple from the decorative bowl that she was determined to keep loaded with fresh, organic fruit.“Did I miss anything exciting?” he asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked from him to me, opened her mouth, and then shut it again. I got the impression that she was about to make a joke about our coupling and then changed her mind.  If that was true, she was wise to keep quiet.  Neither of us needed to be reminded of o
