Even through the fabric separating them, she felt his cock flex, and she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
CHAPTER 21
Her ankle improved rapidly, but it was a frustrating week. Temel insisted on following Drakkar’s exact instructions, refusing to let her even attempt to walk. He was equally adamant about not making love until the bandage had been removed. He did relent enough on the fourth day to use his mouth and hands to bring her to climax, although he insisted on holding her leg down the entire time—a restraint that was unexpectedly arousing.
Dora continued to act strangely. She quite clearly wanted to tell Ida something, but her courage kept failing her and her attempts usually ended in her running out of the room crying. Ida did her best to be patient, but it was more than a little annoying.
Even Tommy was unusually clingy, but she couldn’t blame him and by the end of the week he was back to his usual sunny self.
“I think we should celebrate the removal of your bandage,” Temel announced when the day finally dawned.
“Oh, I have plans on how to celebrate,” she assured him, trailing her fingers across his cock.
She knew she was teasing him, but she’d decided they might as well be equally frustrated.
“You know, my sweet, we have a lot of time to make up for tonight.”
She shivered in pleasurable anticipation.
“Good.”
The familiar silver gleamed in his eyes, but he turned the subject back to the celebration. It was just their small group, but Dora and Tommy made colorful paper chains and Kalpar cooked a truly outstanding meal. Afterwards, Temel kneeled in front of her chair and very carefully unwrapped the bandage. Her ankle looked exactly the same as it had always looked. He flexed it gently, moving it in a complete circle and there wasn’t even a hint of pain.
“As good as new,” she announced with a gleeful smile.
He returned her smile, but instead of rising, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Her heart started to thud against her ribs.
“What’s that?” Tommy asked.
“A gift for your mama.”
He held out the box to her, and she stared at it.
“What is it?”
“A ring. A symbol of my love and my devotion. I’m sorry it took so long for me to tell you. Will you marry me, Ida? Will you be my mate?”
“I will,” she said, her voice firm despite the tears in her eyes.
“Thank the gods,” he said with a sigh of relief, and kissed her.
As always when he touched her, she lost track of everything else, but then Tommy was there, wiggling between them.
“I wanna see.”
Temel opened the box to reveal the ring—two strands of metal woven together in an elaborate pattern, interspersed with small sparkling diamonds.
“Do you like it?”
“I love it,” she said firmly and held out her hand so he could put it on her finger. They would need to register the union, but as far as she was concerned, the moment he slipped it on her hand, they were married.
She turned her hand back and forth, admiring the way the light caught on the stones, then frowned. There was something oddly familiar about the pattern.
“Does this represent something?”
“Yes, but it’s private. I will explain later.”
Tommy looked at the ring, then looked from her face to Temel’s.
