Cold. It did not matter how many blankets he piled on, he was still cold. Dragonet stared unseeing into the utter blackness of his room. He had found the information he wanted so he should be happy. Why then did he feel dead inside?

A small knock at the door got his attention. Before he could say anything, Morrigan slipped inside his room, holding a single candle. She wore her plaid wrapped around her, which she clutched to her chest with one hand. She shut the door behind her, and the plaid slipped a little, revealing a naked shoulder.

Dragonet sat up, the vision of Morrigan commanding his full attention. In truth, much of him was up and at attention. He opened his mouth to speak but said nothing.

“I… I…” Morrigan stammered and gulped air. “I brought ye a candle.” She walked toward him and put the candle on a small table by his bed.

“Thank you,” he whispered, trying to think of something else to say.

“Are ye cold?” She motioned to the pile of blankets on top of him.

“No, not anymore.” Dragonet realized he was hot, burning so that he was even perspiring.

“I had thought to warm ye tonight.”

Done. Morrigan was offering herself to him? Despite his rejection, Morrigan, the temptress of his dreams, was there, tonight, offering herself to him. He took a deep breath and tried to slow his heartbeat, which pounded so fast he thought he might collapse from the shock.

“Well, do ye want to or no’?” demanded Morrigan.

“Yes! Yes, very much I want to. Yes.” He was babbling and saying things that he knew he should not. His rational brain screamed a warning, but it was steadily drowned out by the throbbing of his… heart.

Morrigan sat on the edge of his bed. “I dinna ken what ye are about, Dragonet, but I will show ye what I want. After the kiss we shared today, I dinna think ye are indifferent toward me.”

“You… you liked the kiss? I did not think it was very good.”

“Oh, well then.” Morrigan clutched her plaid close to her chest.

“I mean I liked it, but I thought you would not. I lost control. I do not know why I was so overcome.”

“It was the earlobes.” Morrigan nodded sagely.

“Earlobes?”

“I read it in a book. The sight of earlobes can cause fervent, lustful frenzy.” She tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing the suspect body part. “How are ye feeling now?” she said, turning her head to the side to make sure he got a good look.

Dragonet smiled. “I feel the frenzy, yes.” It was the truth, too.

“Verra good. Ye may ravish me now.”

“R-ravish?”

“Aye. Ye do know how to ravish?”

Dragonet blinked. In truth, he had never ravished anything in his life. Though with a naked Morrigan, he was more than willing to give it a try. And yet his rational brain screamed at him to take care. He could not act honorably toward her and offer marriage. He must still leave. This was not right, but turning her away? That would only be worse.
