grinning, and a skilled warrioress.
Thank you, Lothar. Krysta s voice was softer than Mace liked when she spoke
to another man.
The fair rogue lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it before departing.
Mace gritted his teeth and held back a growl, but Krysta must have sensed his
mood. She turned to hug him, reaching up to kiss his cheek before twirling
away to clean off the blood and get back into the ring.
Mace decided to work off his momentary anger in training and spent the rest of
the day pummeling someone or being pummeled in return. It was an altogether
satisfying day, spent learning from some of the finest warriors in all the
world. Mace settled down to learn and felt, by the end of the day, he d come
out wiser.

Dinner that night was a quieter affair than the night before. The minstrels
played for a shorter time, and most of their songs were sad. It was clear the
fair folk would miss
William when he left in the morning.

Some brought him little gifts as they left the hall for the night, pressing
kisses of farewell on his cheek and some of the more motherly women shedding a
tear or two for his departure.
Several gave gifts to Krysta and her mates, and a few had things for the
dragons as well. Most were small gifts that could be easily carried on their
long journey, and some were practical gifts that they could use along the way.
Krysta amassed a collection of colorful silk scarves, finely woven to the
consistency of a spider s web. They were huge swaths of fabric, but folded up
to mere nothings and would travel well. The weaving of the fair folk was
reputed to be nearly indestructible as well as gorgeous.
The colorful silks gave her an idea she decided to put to use later, after
they retired for the night. She asked Margan, the pennywhistle player of the
night before, covertly, if the loan of a lute could be arranged. The woman was
more than happy to assist with
Krysta s little plan, promising a lute would be waiting in their room when
they went to bed.
True to her word, the lute was lying across the covers when Krysta entered
with her men. Drake saw it immediately and went to pick it up, strumming the
strings contemplatively.
What s this?
Krysta shrugged. Just a little something I arranged. Would you mind playing
for me tonight?
You know I ll play for you anytime, sweetheart. Anywhere. The drawl of his
voice fired her senses as she went behind the screen to set the stage.
Good, then warm up a bit. I want your fingers to be nice and loose when you
play the velorania for me.
Drake reclined on the large bed, smiling broadly. We re in for a treat, Mace.
Have you ever seen the Jinn veil dance? He began warming up his fingers with
a few runs on the lute, breaking into a soft, seductive tune as he helped his
little Jinn warrior woman set the mood.

Mace shrugged as he sat on the other side of the large bed, removing his
boots. I ve never even heard of it.
The velorania is something special, my friend. Never performed lightly, and
only shared among lovers or so the legends say. I ve only heard of it. I ve
never seen a true velorania myself, though all Jinn musicians know the proper
tune. We play it for dancing, but the secret steps for the veil dance are
known only to a Jinn female, and performed only for her mate or mates in our
case.
Drake played the short notes that began the winding tune. It started out slow
and sensuous, drawing higher and tighter, shorter and faster as the melody
grew. He was in the first section of the seductive tune when Krysta appeared
from behind the screen.

She stood before them clothed only in the brightly colored scarves the fair
folk had given her. She was utterly, devastatingly, beautiful. Drake s fingers
faltered before he gathered his wits and Krysta winked at him from under her
veil. It was the sexiest thing he d ever seen& but the night promised to bring
even further delights he could only imagine.
The dance started slowly, and built. The first section, she d been taught, was
for
Krysta to make her man more comfortable. She teased Mace, sitting on his lap
for short moments as she danced around him, each time she came near, undoing a
button or untying a knot that would eventually have him naked. When she had
his chest bare, she dropped to her knees, swaying in time with the music
between his spread legs. She brushed up against him in the moves of the
ancient dance, using her fingers to free his thick cock from his leggings.
She dipped her head, letting her hair and the soft silk of the scarves trail
over his erection, then moved away to dance for him as he took the initiative
and shucked his leathers. She undulated her torso and shook her breasts under
the thin veils, beginning the next section of the dance as she slowly pulled
away the trailing veils. These were the smaller scarves she d tucked in here
and there among the longer veils she d used to wrap

Bianca D Arc her body. There were more layers than anyone would have guessed
from looking at her, but the silk was so thin and transparent, it was
deceptive.
She stripped off the smaller scarves, moving forward and back to tease the
soft material against Mace s hard body. She wrapped them around his arms, his
hands, his legs, and even his cock, using the gentle friction to drive him to
a fever pitch.
The dance was working.
Soon she was left in nothing but the long veils she d twined around her person
in the ancient pattern. Now came the next part of the dance. Obligingly, the
music changed subtly, growing faster and more intense.
Krsyta drifted closer to Mace, holding out one corner of a scarf she d
untucked for him to take in his teeth. As the music increased slightly, she
twirled out of the wrapping, uncovering a bit more of her skin to the night
air and leaving Mace with the colorful silk veil in his lap. He discarded it
quickly, reaching forward with his mouth for another of the strategically
tucked scarves. This one was tucked in between her breasts. She covered his
head with her hands as she snuggled his face between the soft mounds, allowing
him time to nip at her skin under the soft veils, then drew away when he had
the tail of the scarf between his teeth once more.
Spinning a little more quickly now, the veil unwound from around her body as
Mace watched, transfixed. Oh, how she liked that look on his face. It told her
the dance was working its magic. He was completely under her spell.
She glanced at Drake, glad to see him smile. Because he played the music, this
veil dance was primarily for Mace, but she could tell from Drake s expression
he didn t begrudge the quiet knight the treat, and Drake was enjoying the view
as well, if the hard-
on in his pants was any indication. She blew Drake a kiss as she coaxed Mace s
hands to another tucked scarf point.
She spun away and more of her body was revealed. The music grew now, as she
repeated the forward and back motions, each time she twirled away, removing [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
