When the dawn was scratching at the window, she sat up, and she noted that a few things were different. The first thing was that she was alone, the second was that her hair was loose, and she rarely wore it loose, and the third was that she hadn’t been woken with foreplay. That was disappointing.

She got up, and there was a black, gold, and dark green gown on the bed. The undergown was a rich orange that wouldn’t clash with her hair.

Orla got dressed, pulled on the above-the-knee black boots, and she went in search of Lugh.

At the door, there was a cloak and gloves. She took the hint.

She walked out of the house with her hair loose, and the wind toyed with it as she went looking for Lugh. None of the fey were working at the stables, so she went to the paddock where her friend walked up to her. They had a moment of silent greeting before the bridle and saddle were in place.

Orla looked around and easily got herself up in the saddle. The mare snorted and shook her head in amusement. “Do you know where he is?”

The mare nodded, and her own mate was missing, so he was probably with Lugh.

“Right. Shall we?”

They went for a leisurely canter through the meadows and then a slow walk through the woods. Orla could see figures moving through the trees, and when the mare came to a halt, they were in a clearing. Lugh was wearing what could only be full autumn king regalia, and the stallion was standing nearby.

The mare went to stand with him, and she nipped her mate on the neck, and he did the same.

Orla got down and stepped toward Lugh; the carpet of a rainbow of autumn leaves was all around them. He smiled. “I am glad you have arrived. I was getting nervous.”

She took the hands he held out to her. He drew her close. They were standing under an archway of twisted tree branches; vines, pumpkins, and gourds were growing up and over them; it was a lovely representation of autumn.

“Orla, I was told when I was young that the woman who was to be mine would appear in that pool. It wasn’t until the day you bathed in it that I understood the foretelling. I offer myself to you for my lifetime, share my power, my wealth, my love, my life, and my bed.”

She smiled at the last one, but he winked and kept going. “Take my hand, my life, and all that I am.”

She knew that it was her turn to talk, so she spoke from the heart. “Lugh, I was not expecting you. My time with you has alternated between fear, frustration, paranoia, pleasure, and joy. Even forgetting you, my heart broke when you were not in my life. That hollow feeling is not something I want to experience again. I don’t need all you have, I just need you, but I will take all that you will offer.
