"Steve and I already talked about it. He'll call you up in the next few days and ask you out."Jen's head was spinning. They had talked about it? But s...e decided it wasn't worth getting into. She had agreed to go through with it, so it didn't really matter that her husband had already talked about it with her soon-to-be lover. But she was still confused. "Ask me out? Like a date?" Of course. A date, a real date. You guys will go out, have dinner, maybe see a show, and then --" But why a date?". " She said. "I will, too, but you will be a good husband first." She looked at him. "You stink of piss and shit, and you have dirt everywhere." She made a sour face. "If you want to make love to me, you will clean up so I can hold you and touch you and kiss you."His face slowly changed to one of resignation and he crept over to the bed. He asked. "You sleep in bed, then?"She nodded. She had to give him something. "I will sleep in the bed." She crawled onto the huge pile of skins and blankets,. So when Aislin camerunning into the house, I thought she came to heal Renn." Thank the goddess, she's only sleeping." Macha looked unhappy butrelived at the same time."That's what I said, silly." Renn giggled.Ina smiled while stroking her grandchild's head. "She must have beenvery concerned for you." I'm sorry Mistress Ina. I believed that Milady Aislin's argument withsome of the village women might also have brought this on." Liam stoodoff to the side of the room, not looking very happy. He. “I seek the Truth.”She eyed him for a moment, her lips quirked in the beginnings of a smile. “Perhaps you do, and perhaps you do not. I, for one, know very well what young men seek.” She pulled a string on the shoulder of her robe and the entire garment whispered softly to the floor. A golden nimbus then surrounded her, rapidly expanding and enveloping him.Aran’s mind lurched as he beheld this creature. His heart was thumping in his chest, his blood racing, his breeches painfully tight with his.
