Chapter Ten

Eric used one of the charged diaman crystals to heat the water filling the huge tub. He crossed to his lovely companion and sat on the bed beside her. “Sophi, I know the cinnagin still rides you. I have been told a hot soak mitigates many of the more intense sensations. I have added some special salts to the bath. I particularly like the smell.” He shrugged with a disarming smile.

Her lovely aqua eyes flashed up at him. “Sounds reasonable, thank you. I’ll tell you if it works.” She rose and walked into the bathroom.

His eyes followed the sinuous sway of her hips, the soft motion of her full breasts, the glimpse of swollen, rose-colored flesh between her legs as she stepped into the bath. Her potent allure stiffened his cock and he had to turn away or drag her to the bed again. Collecting the clothing he had strewn all over the floor, he dressed and then gathered the diaman crystals, amassing most of them in a sheet from the bed.

“Sophi, I’m taking these ‘rocks’ downstairs and returning them to their owners.”

A feminine murmur and a splash from the bathroom made him smile. Every woman was different but in some things they were all the same.

As Eric descended the stairs, the scene in the gathering room duplicated what he had found earlier that morning. Headman Stumpf, surrounded by several tradesmen, identifiable by their dress, waited at the base of the stairs. Villagers crowded into the remainder of the space.

“Magister DeStroia! By the Goddess, Sir! Here, Sir, we have cleared a table. Over here.” Headman Stumpf preceded him, opening a path through the people.

As they saw what Eric held in his arms, their faces glowed as brightly as the crystals and they parted, allowing him a path to a large trestle table. Joyous murmurs of delight accompanied their low bows and respectful, ‘Magister’s’.

Eric couldn’t help but smile as the square, portly headman clapped his hands together in childlike delight, practically dancing in place. “By Her light, how wondrous. Oh, thank you, Sir, thank you. And Magistra DeLorion?” An anxious note entered the headman’s voice. “She fares well, Sir?”

“Well enough, Mr. Stumpf. She enjoys a bath at the moment. We probably won’t see her for an hour or so.”

“Good, good,” the congenial man returned. “We was worried as she isn’t schooled, you see. Wouldn’t want no harm to come to the young lady.”

“Don’t worry on that score. No harm will come to her if I’m alive to prevent it,” Eric vowed and gave the village headman a hearty slap on the back. Eric nodded toward the living rocks covering the table in a pulsating, golden glow. “I’ll leave you to sort those out.” Turning, he climbed back up the stairs to the chamber he had shared with Sophi.

As he walked through the door, the humming and splashing coming from the bathroom indicated Sophi’s continued preoccupation with her bath. Goddess, I am tired. He eyed the large, rumpled bed. Just until Sophi’s out of her bath.
