Mara lit a row of candles bordering the bath surround. She flicked the tap handles open, played her hand under the water until the temperature suited her. After plucking the bottle of her favorite scented oil from the shelf, she poured it into the tub. Had Reika followed? Her lustful appraisal had been exquisite. How long had it been since anyone had been so open in their admiration? So willing to reveal their feelings? Most mortals feared her, or worse, fetishized her.
Reika had asked questions, spoken to her as an equal. Shown anger over the injustice of Maraâs kidnapping and imprisonment. Mara pulled two towels from the cabinet. And yet it didnât mean Reika would take Mara up on her provocative offer. Mara lifted her shoulders and let them fall. No use dwelling on what might or might not occur.
On this Solstice, she would only focus on pleasure. Hers. Reikaâs, and the promise of a new year. Maybe by summer Solstice, Aaron would give up, dissolve the spell. Or not. Mara gathered her hair and wound a wide cloth around her head. She tested the water as the pool filled.
âNo wonder they sang of your beauty.â Reika entered bearing the jug of wine and her cup.
Mara turned to her. As stunning as Reika was dressed, naked, she was glorious. When she bent and placed the jug on a low table, Maraâs breath caught. Her body was perfection. Her thighs gleamed in the candlelight, evidence of her desire on display. Mara crossed the room. Permission. As much as she wanted to take what she wanted, she would never violate Reikaâs trust.
Reika turned to her. Their gazes locked.
Reikaâs solemn expression seared her soul. âI want so badly to touch you,â her hands clenched and unclenched at her side. âMay I?â
Mara stepped closer. âYes,â She lifted her hand, cupped Reikaâs face. âMay I kiss you?â
Reika rested her hands on Maraâs hips, tilted her head up and pressed closer to Mara. âPlease.â
The soft plea from the bold warrior undid Mara. She slid her hand down, cupped Reikaâs ass and held her full against her. A rush of heat flared as their bodies pressed together, skin to skin, goddess to human, mortal and immortal flesh. Mara pressed her mouth to Reikaâs, nibbled her lips.
Mara clung to her, opening to Reikaâs deep kiss. The splash of water into the pool was the backdrop to their sighs and moans as they explored each other's bodies
Reika leaned back, startled recognition in her eyes. âI know your kiss.â She touched Maraâs cheek with her fingertips. âIt was you, wasnât it? The woman who always appeared in my dreams. The enchanting creature who beguiled and seduced me in my fantasies. So many times, I would wake up wet but satisfied, wondering how I could come so hard in my sleep.â
Mara lifted Reikaâs hand, brought it to her mouth and kissed her knuckles. âA mental shadow of me. The mirror gives me access to dreamworlds. My physical form cannot pass beyond the barrier Aaron set.
