Flight of The Harpy's Heart

Chapter xx: Tall Glass

The courthouse hall buzzed with the hushed whispers and soft snores of those seeking refuge. Aden's eyes scanned the crowd, searching for a familiar face amidst the sea of weary villagers. In a secluded corner, he spotted his quarry – Indry, tenderly brushing the hair of her daughter, little Jasmine, while her maiden, Agnes, minding her own business.

As Indry's gaze met his, Aden gestured subtly, beckoning her to follow. Without hesitation, she roused Agnes, who nodded in understanding. Indry rose gracefully, her movements fluid as she made her way toward the dimly lit corridor where Aden waited, partially concealed in the shadows.

The air was thick with anticipation as Indry approached, the courthouse now enveloped in a reverent hush. Aden's heart raced, his desire burning like a raging inferno.

She was a tall woman whose allure could stop time itself. Her very presence seemed to cast a bewitching spell, leaving those who beheld her in a state of speechless admiration. With a face that could launch a thousand ships, she was the embodiment of sensuality, and her sex appeal was nothing short of mesmerizing.

Her skin, a luminous canvas, was the hue of warm, sun-kissed honey. It seemed to glow with an inner radiance.

Her hair, cascading like a waterfall of silver silk, framed her face and tumbled down her back in a mesmerizing cascade. It was fragrant with the scent of exotic blooms, and the way it moved with her every step was a dance that left hearts racing.

Her visage was an exquisite canvas painted by the hands of the divine.

As Indry drew near, Aden reached out, his fingers tracing the curve of her side. To his delight, Indry did not recoil from his touch.

Emboldened, Aden's hand wandered lower, squeezing her firm pear-shaped rear with a gentle possessiveness. Still, Indry offered no resistance, her silence spoke volumes. With a gentle nudge, he wordlessly guided her deeper into the corridor, their footsteps muffled by the thick carpet that lined the halls.

From behind, Aden could see that Indry's figure was a marvel of proportion and grace. Her curves were a symphony of femininity, celebrated by the universe itself. She moved with the fluidity of a siren, each step a sensual rhythm that seemed to beckon those around her. Her attire, always tastefully chosen, accentuated her assets without revealing too much, leaving everything to the imagination and, in turn, heightening her allure.

Their destination was the stables at the back of the courthouse, nestled against the lush garden. Aden's eyes burned with hunger, his gaze devouring Indry's every move. Words were unnecessary; their unspoken understanding hung heavy in the air, charged with the promise of forbidden pleasures.

As they neared the stables, Indry reached out, snatching a cloth hanging from a nearby rope – a silent acknowledgment of what was to come. The scent of hay and earth mingled with the heady aroma of desire, and Aden felt himself teetering on the edge of a precipice, torn between the thrill of the unknown and the fear of what lay beyond.

The soft glow of the lantern flickered, casting dancing shadows across the stable as Aden approached Martin, the mute stablehand.

"Hey, Martin," he greeted, his voice low and hushed. "Why don't you go to the dining hall and get yourself a drink?"

Martin's gaze shifted between Aden and Indry, understanding dawning in his eyes. Though slow-witted, he was quick to grasp the undercurrents of adult matters. With a silent nod, he turned and happily made his way inside, leaving the two lovers to their desires.

With bated breath, Aden guided Indry deeper into the shadows of the stable, the scent of hay and earth enveloping them. The door creaked shut behind them, sealing them in a world of their own making, where boundaries blurred and inhibitions melted away.
