He held her forever. Ashy flickers swam in his eyes, shadows of temptation drawing her into infinite depths. A breath away from his tantalising mouth, she parted her lips. The thudding of her pulse hurt. The knocking of her heart brushed her soul. She sank into him.

My lord, I__ rather be alone._ His smile vanished. Not a single muscle in his body bulged, but the color of his eyes turned to dark ashes.__nd I__ rather not.

I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of you.

Her gold mane--not quite hair and not quite fur--was brushed up and back from her exotic face and didn't hide the delicately pointed ears. In the center of her forehead was a tiny, spiral horn. A narrow strip of gold fur traced her spine, ending in a small gold and white fawn tail that flicked over her bare buttocks. The legs were human and shapely, but changed below the calf.

Gentle and violent. Innocent and wise.*I am Witch,* she said, a small, defiant quiver in her voice.*I know.* His voice had a seductive throb in it, a hunger he couldn't control or mask.

The second the door closed after him Laire started jumping, a huge smile on her face and her body shaking in repressed excitement. ____l go, I__l go, I__l go. You don__ even like the Oracle. Let me.__efore the first words were out of Laire__ mouth, Fallon started to shake her head, and as soon as the green-haired woman took a breath, Fallon used it as her opportunity to say, __o way.___lease please please.___et me rephrase.

How she had been able to prevent an ankle fracture while jumping on those spikes, Larissa would never know. __hy not?___ecause if they have an orgy going on, you__l want to join.
