them were the only furniture they had in the keep and had doubled as seats and tables the day before.
Avelyn decided that was a situation that should be rectified.
The inside of the keep was her responsibility, and she had every intention of taking care of it. She
thought she might make a trip to the village that morning before the servants started to arrive from

Gerville. Paen had said the village had suffered as badly from the reavers as Rumsfeld had, and Avelyn
hoped to relieve some of the poverty and repair some of the hard feelings by having all their goods made
in the village.
Furniture wasn't the only thing she would need to purchase, she thought as her stomach grumbled. At the
moment, they had no cook at Rumsfeld, and while they did have the foods they'd brought with them,
those wouldn't last long. However, she suspected they wouldn't be easily replaced either. The only animal
she'd seen so far was the pig that had decided to bed down in the great hall when they arrived. She
feared it might be the only livestock they had.
"I shall go let the men know they can start work on the floors in the other rooms now," Runilda said as
she laid a clean gown on the chest. "Lord Paen ordered them not to start hammering until you were,
awake," Runilda explained when Avelyn glanced at her with surprise.
"How long have they been waiting?" Avelyn asked with a frown.
"Half the morning," Runilda said with amusement, then added, "But they kept busy while they waited.
Lady Helen had them cleaning and carting in the kitchens."
"Half the morning?" Avelyn echoed with horror. She hadn't realized she'd slept so late. "Why did you not
wake me?"
"Lord Paen said to let you sleep as late as you needed, that it would help you heal."
Avelyn let a little sigh slip from her lips. It had been thoughtful of him, but there was much she wished to
get done today and the morning was half over.
"I shall just let the men know they can start work, then I'll return to help you dress," Runilda assured her,
then slipped from the room.
Avelyn turned her attention to her ablutions, using the rose-scented water and a small strip of linen to
wash herself. She heard Runilda open the door again minutes later, but continued to wash, lifting one foot
to rest on the chest as she ran the cloth over her leg. When hands closed over her shoulders, she jumped
in surprise, then whirled to find herself facing Paen.
"Oh, husband, you startled me," she said breathlessly, then realized she was standing there naked before
him. She raised her little linen between them, trying to cover herself with the bit of cloth. It was a futile
effort, worse than useless, really, and Paen gave it the attention it deserved. None. Ignoring the damp
cloth, he caught her by the upper arms and drew her forward. He then lowered his head and covered her
mouth with his.
At first, Avelyn stood still, too flustered to respond, but Paen soon made her forget her embarrassment.
When his tongue slipped out to tease her lips, she automatically let them drift open and breathed a small
sigh into his mouth as his tongue slid in. A familiar heat immediately began to pool inside her. Avelyn soon
forgot her linen and let it drop so she could slip her hands around his neck. Paen was fully clothed, and
the cloth of his tunic and braes felt rough against her tender flesh, as he cupped her behind and urged her
against him. The cloth of his tunic rubbed across the sensitive tips of her breasts, sending a shiver along
her back.
When Paen broke the kiss and his lips trailed to her neck, Avelyn let her head fall back, her fingers
knotting in his hair. She had thought his mouth would continue down to her breasts as it had when they'd

finally consummated their marriage, but instead, he pulled his lips away. She gave a little start as he
cupped one breast and squeezed gently. Then he caught the nipple between thumb and forefinger, teasing
it until it was hard and aching. Only then did he finally drop his mouth to lave it.
"Oh," Avelyn breathed as he caught her nipple between his teeth and nipped lightly. She gasped and
rose up on tiptoes as the hand that had been holding her breast suddenly swept down between her legs.
He cupped her there briefly, pressing firmly upward; then his fingers slid between the folds and Avelyn
found herself clutching desperately at his shoulders as his fingers danced over her most tender flesh.
"Husband?" Avelyn gasped uncertainly as she felt her body begin to tighten with familiar excitement.
Raising his head, Paen claimed her mouth again, his kiss more aggressive this time, his tongue thrusting
into her almost forcefully. As it did, she felt his finger slip inside her, and Avelyn cried out into his mouth, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
