Things somehow seemed different since Rosanna and I made love. She glowed more, and smiled more; it made me happy knowing I could bring her that much joy. I loved being around her. She made me feel whole, and when we were apart I never felt complete. But now, of course, fantasizing about her happened much more often than it did before. I found myself staring at her butt whenever she walked by, and ogling her breasts a lot; I always prayed she never caught me.

Nights when she had to work, I'd force Farryn to keep me company, and we ended up doing more research on Riofalt. Our fight with Circe only confirmed that Riofalt was, in fact, still under the Trillium Regime's control, so we started devising a plan. We would have to blend in as much as possible, which meant we couldn't use magic, but not using magic meant we would have to train harder physically. Thankfully, we could travel on Farryn so we didn't have to worry about funds for plane tickets.

Today, Rosanna and I planned to do more training. She happened to walk into the room just as Farryn had vanished, and she was wearing tight yoga pants and a sports bra. At this point she was doing this to me on purpose. How was I supposed to concentrate when she looked like that?! Once again, I was practically drooling as I watched her. The way her hips swayed when she walked, her hourglass shape, all of her turned me on.

Her hair hung over one of her shoulders in a loose braid, giving me a perfect view of her neck, which was practically begging me to kiss it. Her sports bra hugged her perfectly, and the yoga pants... I almost had a heart attack! I wanted to pull her close and kiss her until the two of us were breathless. I wanted to feel her skin against mine...

"Ready to train?" she asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Training?" I asked her, not paying attention.

"Yeah, didn't you want to do some close combat training today?" she inquired.

I bit my lip. "Can we train in bed today?"

She smirked. "I'll make you an offer," she told me. "Train with me for a couple hours and then when we get back here, we can train some more in the shower."

"It's a deal," I smirked. "But I think we should raise the stakes."

"Oh? How so, Mr. Saltwater?" There was a playful glint in her eyes.

"If I win our sparring match, I get to take you on a date, and the venue is my choice."

"And if I win?"

"Same goes for you, we still go on a date, but you get to choose the venue."

"I accept your challenge, my handsome Prince," she told me.

I put on my sneakers and tied back my hair. We packed our bags, then headed out of the apartment and towards the woods. We held hands the entire way there, and discussed the Riofalt journey.

"So, Farryn and I were thinking..." I glanced at Rosanna.

"About what?" she asked.

"How we're getting to Riofalt... We think it's best if we just ride on her back."

"That's fine, but we'll have to go on foot the rest of the way, Farryn isn't exactly... inconspicuous."

"Of course. And we also thought it was best we didn't use magic at all or at least, as little as possible. Which is why it's a good idea for us to train, even if there's a deal on the table," I chuckled.
