Leah'andra blinked and seemed to gaze at nothing. Her lips curled in a smile as her eyes closed, and she pulled Preleis close in a weak embrace. "If I...am dreaming, let it never end," she whispered in his ear. Preleis let her arms fall to her sides finally. He knew he should leave her rooms. When she woke in the morning, she would be angered to think he had carried her here. It would be more that her pride was wounded. Leah liked to come across as a strong woman, not a weak and simpering fool.. She is alone, having never been happy waking that way, she looks around the room for him. No one there, she is indeed alone, climbing out of the large bed she walks through the house, looking, searching the rooms, no one else is there. As she walks past the large sliding door to the backyard, she sees him. Laying on a chase lounge between the pool and the hot tub, soaking up the sun. He is naked except for sunglasses, the remote house is ideal for spending the day in the nude around the yard.. Friday Lisa had decided to go visit her sister and that was good. I was fidgety. She wouldn't be back as she was going shopping, to a movie, out to dinner, etc. with her and her husband so that worked out well. I shaved, showered, and got ready to go EARLY. I left the house knowing I was going into hell. Little did I know what was going to happen to me. The day was hot....and wouldn't you know it..the air in my car didn't work. I got a friend to help me out with this. She actually LOVED doing. She had said little while he spoke, only asking for a point of clarification here, or asking a question there. At other times she had simply repeated what he had said, which somehow urged him to explain in further detail. The cunningness required to stay alive as a waif, served her without thought during his tale. She had heard men boast before. His Lordship boasted quite often when he was in his cups. But Stephan's tale had none of that quality about it. The telling excited him. She could see.
