Doing things on the farm take a fraction of my time now that mother knows I’m learning magic, my life could be easy. Yet here I am learning more mag...c, learning how to fight, and making plans to travel across the land, possibly leaving a trail of children behind me. In search of what? Power? I’m a farmer I’ve never desired power. To fight oppression? Our King hardly knows we exist down here in the middle of nowhere, as long as he gets his taxes he couldn’t care less about Tilsen. Women? I could. I just wanted to sleep. Just when I had drifted off to sleep, I felt his hand moving around my back, just like he was giving me a back rub. It felt kinda good, and I let him continue. Then he put his hand inside my shirt and was stroking his hands over my skin. Although I didn’t have much energy to respond, I just said, “Don’t put it inside”. He withdrew his hand from inside my shirt and continued the back-rub from the outside. I drifted off to sleep again. After a few minutes, he put his hand. After lunch I said, "This room is enough to cast gloom in anyone's heart, get dressed and let's blow this place, then call a interior decorator." It looked fine to me, but that just came flying out too - then I remembered Becky telling me that she hated this room's decor.Jennifer looked around and said, "Your right, but Christ I look like absolute hell."I joined her at the mirror, "Nothing that a few good meals and some exercise won't fix. Look, I'll start your bath and call Tina to help. I was quite surprised, she’s usually so warm and friendly.’ ‘Yes, normally I suppose she would be, but not to the woman you’re screwing when she wants you that way. Don’t you see.’ ‘Mmmmmm.’ He was very thoughtful. ‘Look,’ I said, ‘I’d like to meet Maria, would you mind. I liked her once she lost her dislike of me. I think we could get on and I know Jo would like her. Then I could find out if I’m right and we can figure out what to do. What do you say.’ He laughed, releasing the tension that.
