He could not defeat an entire city alone, but she could. A city of stone people. The thought earned a smirk. What would the gods think of their childr...n then, as nothing more than ornaments for a garden of death?A distant growl called his attention, and he raised his head to look to the rocky canyon that surrounded them.

I moved down to her lower back towards her ass. Just as I was about to touch her butt she stopped me. Hold on. What do you think your doing.
