As usual, Zin recovered faster than he gave himself credit for, through it did take him long enough that he was finally able to remove her bindings and undress her properly. He held her so close that Sehris never felt cold, not even for a second, and his manhood felt so good and so right that she almost begged him to spend inside her despite the risks. He left his gratitude upon her belly instead, right above the large, black spider tattoo encircling her navel. The symbol of the dark elf goddess was nearly as sacrilegious as their entire relationship, and for whatever reason he had always found it impossibly alluring.

Sehris held him against her for a long time—far too long, really, considering the risks of getting caught and how badly they needed to sleep. He eventually set out some furs and laid her down upon the floor, not because she wanted to but because it was the safest position if someone did enter their room unexpectedly. After helping her back into her armor, Zin rebound her ankles and shackled her wrists above her head. Sehris found it almost impossible not to beg him to take her again once he was finished.

He fell asleep on the bed not long afterward, and she closed her eyes and tried to mentally prepare herself for the journey ahead. Waking up early would be annoying enough, but the real threat would be the Wailing. She wasn’t certain if her training could properly prepare her for the wrath of the Chol…

She expected to wake to the searing light of the sun burning her sensitive eyes, but this time it was her sensitive ears that dragged her back into consciousness. She rolled over on her side, confused and groggy, as she struggled to make out the words from the numerous shouting voices outside the inn. The locals were clearly upset about something.

“Zin,” she whispered, craning her neck to look at him up on the bed. “Zin, wake up!”

He didn’t even twitch. He looked completely dead to the world, which she might have taken as a compliment if she hadn’t needed his help to get up.

“Zin!” Sehris repeated, still trying to keep her voice low. “Zin!”

When he still didn’t move, she groaned and lifted her shackled feet to kick him in the side. It took a surprising amount of force, but after a third whack he finally snorted and leaned up.

“What the…?”

“Something’s going on outside,” Sehris told him. “Can’t you hear it?”

He rubbed a hand across his face and nearly fell over again, but then the shouting beyond the walls of the inn finally grew loud enough for his human ears. “Damn it. It’s not even dawn!”

“I noticed. Now help me up!”

Zin cleared his throat and rolled out of the bed, frowning the whole time. He put on his armor and threw his blue-gray cloak over his shoulders, then gently stuffed Sehris’s leather gag back into her mouth. Despite their haste, the voices had still probably doubled in volume by the time they shuffled through the inn and stepped outside into the cold.
