Shadows of Voryn

Chapter Thirty-Seven

T'ara

Tangled under the sheets, T'ara eyes opened, hazy and very much aware of the aches in her body. Last night had carried into the early morning, being pleasured in more ways than she could count. And the things she'd done to Livei still made her body flush. She breathed in Livei scent, tempted to stay in bed much longer. Her head was pressed against Livei's shoulder, mouth aimed near her breast and arm draped across Livei's waist.

   A knock drew T'ara to look up, Rina opening it without pause; use to her being in here alone. "T'ara..." she froze, turning her back to them when she saw T'ara naked in bed with Livei still asleep.

T'ara was sure Rina felt foolish, not expect to find them in bed together, though she had no reason to be. "My apologies."

   Lifting head, T'ara lightly chuckled. "You are fine."

   "I am sorry. Should have awaited response," Rina whispered.

   "Don't be silly. You caused no harm." T'ara glanced to Livei, who seemed disinterested in waking. She kissed Livei's cheek, clothing as she found Rina outside of sleeping quarters, leaning against the wall. A guard was posted several feet away down the hall, disinterested in our conversation.

   "You know of the man you captured for Lord Thad?" Rina asked, wide-eyed.

   "What of him?" T'ara frowned by the mention of him.

   "I have learned him to be a Seer."

   T'ara frown deepened. She heard of Seer's before. Never met one. Till him. "I do not practice that kind of faith."

   "Does not mean it is less real," Rina said as of defense to her own beliefs.

   "Yes," T'ara nodded. She rather not get into word battle with Rina. "My apologies."

"No. I am bitter because I am not allowed to practice my faith. You did not say anything wrong." Rina smiled, shrugging away sadness.

"Why do you mention this Seer?"

"He visited me in a dream and asked for you." Rina looked eager in sharing this.

Now this was interesting. T'ara snorted. He would not make her forget words. If they crossed paths again she would help. In a way, by reaching through Rina there paths were crossing.

"He asked for me?" T'ara didn't want to go seek him out if there was a catch to his request.

She nodded. "He says he has no I'll intent due to you capturing him. He only ask that you come and listen."

That would not be all to happen.

"I will go." She wanted to at least give him a chance to voice his thoughts, if even for Rina who seemed wanting to know more of the Seer. T'ara could hear movement in her sleeping quarters.

Rina smiled. "I will leave you to be with your mate." She scurried off before T'ara could respond.

Slipping back inside, T'ara found Livei dressing. "Leaving so soon?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"It is my turn on duty to escort Master Cadius through the City." Livei stood. She came up to pull T'ara into her arms and kissed her softly, nuzzling her neck. "I have to tell you something."

"Yes." T'ara could hear concern.

Livei tried not to let the worry show but it was unavoidable. "Last night. I did not expect for it to carry that profoundly and I did not know how uncontrolled I'd be."
