R’cey awakened slowly. She felt as if a land shuttle had struck her at full velocity. Her entire body hurt and she was thirsty. Her tongue seemed pasted in place. R’cey didn’t recognize her surroundings, but waking on a soft mattress instead of inside a rock cell was encouraging. She tried to sit up, but a weight held her in place. Her gaze softened when she saw Thalia sleeping on her arm.

Only once before had she seen Thalia so unguarded. Then, at Olan’s inn, R’cey had maintained her distance. Despite the kiss shared that night, she had allowed Thalia space. R’cey wanted Thalia to think of her as chivalrous, unwilling to force their shared attraction. That was only partially true. She would never pressure anyone to sleep with her, but at that time, R’cey thought of Thalia as nothing more than a conquest. So much had changed in the course of a week.

R’cey couldn’t have resisted if she wanted to. She reached across with her free hand and brushed Thalia’s hair. Short and thick, the blond locks slipped through her fingers. So many times R’cey had wanted to touch the strands, to feel as close to Thalia as a lover.

Sandy lashes fluttered and Thalia opened her eyes. This close, R’cey watched the lavender color deepen as awareness returned. The amazing gaze fixed on her and R’cey’s heart thumped. She felt her lips stretch into a smile.

“Welcome back. Are you thirsty?”

R’cey nodded and sipped from the cup Thalia offered. A few small sips satisfied her thirst. “Why do I think I have you to thank for me still being here?”

“Because you are quite perceptive.”

R’cey stretched her arm out. Pins and needles burned as the blood flow returned. “How long?”

“Just overnight. Your fever broke early this morning. Do you feel hunger?”

R’cey shook her head. “I don’t remember much, but I think I fought with you. I hope I didn’t hurt you.”

“Actually, you insisted on several occasions that I should kiss you. I believe at one point, you even proposed marriage.”

R’cey grew warm with embarrassment. Thalia’s amused expression didn’t help. “No way.”

“Yes, way indeed.”

“You know you’re cute when you try to talk like me.”

“I shall make a note of it.”

“Well, did you?”

Thalia looked confused. “Did I what?”

R’cey brushed her thumb against Thalia’s lower lip. Thalia rewarded her with a breathless gasp. The tip of Thalia’s tongue darted out to wet her lips. It barely touched R’cey’s thumb. R’cey felt the caress to her core. What started out as gentle teasing turned unexpectedly erotic.

“Accept my proposal? And consummate it?”

“Of…of course not. I wouldn’t take advantage of you in such a vulnerable state.”

R’cey noticed the huskiness of Thalia’s voice and felt encouraged. “I’m not vulnerable now. I’m quite lucid and only inches away. Touch me.”

Her hand encircled Thalia’s neck as she leaned closer. R’cey could feel warm breath on her face. Every sense seemed heightened. She anticipated Thalia’s kiss, her eyes drifting closed. When their lips met, the sensation was more intense than R’cey could have imagined.
