“You should watch where you’re going,” he remarks in that seductive tone of his.
“What are you doing here?” I ask, ignoring the blast of lust, rage, and guilt boiling up inside of me.
“I could ask you the very same thing, Shana. You’re expected to be out there, offering your love and support in the name of Karona, are you not?”
I stumble over a reply, knowing he’s got me cornered both figuratively and literally.
“These are private areas meant for the handmaidens and priestesses of Karona only!”
As I talk, I look over his shoulder at the gardens. There lies a glimpse of hope for forgiveness that he barricades, continuing to block the path when I try sidestepping him. Angry tears well up in my eyes. My fists ball up.
“You will move out of my way!”
“No, I don’t think I will.”
“Leave at once!”
“I’ll stay, but thank you for the suggestion.”
“Can’t you just…” I mutter, on the verge of sobbing. “I need you to go, please!”
He says nothing in response, his smile only growing wider.
“You’ve ruined my life, do you know that? The sanctity of my being, my order, my duties, all of them tarnished because of you and your lust for me!”
“My lust for you?” he questions, tilting his head childishly. “I believe you mean our lust for one another.”
The confidence he wears draws me toward him, and a moment later despite myself, I am in his arms. Suddenly aware of the fact, I push him away from me, horrified with myself for doing such a blasphemous thing.
“I… I can’t!”
“You said the same thing just the other day.”
Even as I deny that I want him, the voice in my head reminds me that I am lying. I can fool others, but one cannot fool themselves.
You know you want to give in,it tells me as I scold Carus.The dark elf can give you everything that your faith cannot. Physical pleasure, sex, warm skin to touch.
Carus rolls his eyes as I berate him, and he suddenly moves forward. In an instant, his lips are on mine. He tastes even better than I remember. Perhaps it’s true that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
I grab him by the collar and pull him closer. The voices in my head come to complete silence as he wraps his arms around my waist.
Heat floods my body with desire as his hands lower to my ass, grasping me tight before lifting me up. It’s there in his arms that I’m about to scream, my senses returning for a millisecond until his hand cups my mouth.
“You can scream,” he tells me. “But that’ll lead others right to us.”
He’s right. It would look terrible if I was found out in the gardens alone with a dark elf.
Just do what he wants. You know you want it, too.
I relinquish control and give my all to the dark elf, kissing him passionately. When my eyes open again, I’m against a tree with his arms encircling me.
Our gazes meet and melt into one another as his hand slides over the fabric of my veil, removing it once more.
“Your face grows more beautiful by the day,” he whispers, his hand now lowering towards my undergarments. I take his hand, guiding his fingers to what he’s looking for, to where I want to be touched.
“So that’s how you want it? Very well.”
His fingers slide into me with ease. My body convulses with waves of pleasure as he moves his fingers in a ‘come here’ motion, each movement only further surrendering me to the clutches of the dark elf.
