attract unnecessary
attention. Stay close to me."
It was warm inside, and
quiet. They walked past the main room, empty of patrons. Up a narrow flight of stairs,
Kylor led her to the second door on the right before ushering her into the
room.
"Anya, I need to
speak to my friend. Please don't come out before I return. I won’t be
long."
She nodded as her
guardian turned heels. Darkness was master of the place here so she sat by the
window to peer outside. She had daydreamed of laying eyes on Palance for most
of her life, yet all she could see were shadows broken by the vague glow of the
moon.
The street appeared
deserted, but as a measure of safety, she pulled the drapes shut. She stood up
to remove her new cloak then lit some candles and took a look around. The unfamiliar
room displayed a huge tub in a corner and fresh linen on the large bed.
As she had done the day
they met, her companion came back promptly with a servant, both carrying hot
water for bathing. She watched their comings and goings until the tub was full and
the maid left for the final time. This one didn't gawk at Kylor but remained
focused on her work.
Without grasping the
exact reason, relief washed over her while she observed the servant. Why did
she find comfort in the young girl's demure attitude? Did it have something to
do with the special moments when her protector touched her most intimate parts?
She'd have to ponder
about this later as Kylor locked the door and made a sweeping gesture toward
the tub.
"For you."
"For us. You need it
as much as me."
Delicious flutters
invaded her at the thought of undressing and seeing her companion's bare body. Turning
round to show her back to Kylor, she asked in a light voice.
"Would you
mind?"
Chapter
Ten
Her guardian truly
possessed deft fingers. The dress fell to the floor in no time while shadows
from the candles danced on her revealed skin. With a smile, she went to the tub
and stepped in.
The rather hot liquid
didn't extract a sound from her, but she couldn't help gasping when she glanced
up to watch her companion. Kylor waited, tall, proud, and entirely naked.
Below the square muscles
of her flat chest and belly, hemmed in by a thick growth of hair, her hard cock
stuck out. She had to refrain from sighing, happy and flattered to witness such
an arousing vision.
"Kylor, you desire
me."
"I do."
The woman's low tone seemed
to penetrate her limbs. Although she almost trembled with anticipation, she
didn't forget she looked like a grimy street cat carrying the mud of a long
road.
The significant moment
she'd been waiting for would have to be delayed until she felt free from dirt. She
sat in the so-wonderful hot water and tilted her head in an apologizing manner.
"Can you wait a
little longer?"
She could tell that the
woman only feigned disappointment by the way she took a quick bow before
joining her in the tub.
"Of course I can. Anything
for my lady."
They stared at each other.
The blatant desire glimmering in Kylor's gaze caused her to wonder if her eyes
reflected the same. But in spite of their hunger, they proceeded with their
cleansing, splashing water on the floor and sluicing off dust from the journey.
She twisted her hair
above the water when she felt clean. The movement made her sit upright, her
breasts buoyed by the cooling liquid. Kylor gaped at her, the twinkle in her
eyes indicating the washing was over.
She drew in a sharp
breath when her companion touched her breasts. She stroked them without hurry,
the calloused skin of her hands striking sparks in her whole being.
She jerked when Kylor ensnared
her nipples, undulations rippling across the surface of the water. She rolled
them between thumbs and forefingers before rubbing them with her palms.
"You're so enticing."
Her excited voice accelerated
her breathing as the woman leaned in to draw her closer.
"I'm in drastic need
of you."
She bent her head down,
found the erect flesh with the rim of her lips and nibbled it.
