Chapter Nine
Waking up cocooned in a warm bed is far better than what she had anticipated. After passing out again after lovemaking with Maliuth, she realized that maybe they should be limiting their activities to the bedroom. Laughing softly she realized that wouldn’t be any fun. Besides, she figured they had to stay conscious sooner or later. Sex with Maliuth couldn’t be so intense that they passed out every time could it?
Rolling in bed, she was disappointed to see that he was already gone. She was debating the merits of waiting in bed or searching for him when he walked into their bedroom. Before she could playfully suggest he get back into bed with her, she saw his face. All thoughts of teasing flew from her mind and she bolted upright in bed.
“What is wrong?” she had an idea, but needed him to tell her.
“The council has arranged for our meeting.” He moved to sit on the bed next to her hip, “We are ordered to their chamber this morning. I let you sleep as long as possible.” He gestured to a chest at the bottom of the bed that she hadn’t seen before. “My mother took the liberty of having the merchants send over some dresses. She had them working all night to get the lengths shortened. I think you will find some footwear in the chest also.”
Alea sat there wringing her hands. The council was going to be able to decide if they could remain together. If it didn’t go well today, she would be sent to the Oracle Temple and she refused to let that happen. Straitening her shoulders and stiffening her spine, she smiled at her mate. “What is your favorite color?” It felt silly that she didn’t know something that simple when they had intimate knowledge of each other.
“My favorite color?” he seemed perplexed at her question. “I never thought of it before.” Taking her hand and pulling her toward the bathing room he laughed, “I guess I would say I prefer black…his hand brushed her hair. Turning her at the doorway, he pulled her up and against his chest. “Then again, blue is a very nice color too.” He brushed his lips against hers and her body was instantly alive. Just as her mouth was opening against his to deepen their kiss, he pulled back. “We will have time for that later.” Giving her a smack on the bottom, he turned to walk away. “If you will let me, I would like to fix your hair for the meeting.”
Alea nodded and hurried to do her morning toilet. “I will be right out. Can you get me a black dress out of the chest? If there is more than one choice…pick your favorite.” After relieving herself, she jumped into the shower and washed as quickly as she could. Taking a towel and drying off she hurried into the bedroom. Maliuth had laid out his choice for her on the bed.
“I will help you into the dress, and then I can fix your hair.
