During the two weeks that Galen had stayed in Winter after their wedding, he and Bell had found their comfort and joy in each other. It had taken several days of talking and playing ‘special’ games. But Bell had found herself finally able to remove the wall that she had built around herself. Or at the very least, the wall had been extended to allow enough room for Galen. Once they had found their rhythm, Bell had found new and delicious ways to tease and torture her husband. She often called him to…

“So,” Corrine said, pulling away from her son and looking up at him thoughtfully. “Where is she?” Axel sighed, leaning back against the counter. “It’s complicated.” “How so?” Corrine asked, crossing her arms. “I…” he began and then sighed again. “Look, I wouldn’t have broken tradition without a reason. It wasn’t about just wanting to… be together.” Corrine stifled a laugh at her son’s bashfulness. “Axel, I am not here to give you a hard time about tradition.…

Caleb had laughed. “You surprised me with a wedding,” he said, placing his hand on her cheek and leaning in to steal a soft kiss. “The least I could do was surprise you with a honeymoon.” “But–” Ashleigh began to protest, but Caleb kissed her into silence. Axel let out a soft growl to voice his irritation at the display. Caleb pulled away from Ashleigh and sighed in Axel’s general direction. “I don’t understand,” Ashleigh said, “you said we couldn’t go anywhere, the…

“So…” Bell whispered, leaning close to Ashleigh as they walked up the path. “What?” Ashleigh asked. Bell scoffed and then stopped and placed herself in Ashleigh’s direct path. “So…” she said again, this widening her eyes and wiggling her eyebrows. “Bell… come on.” Ashleigh rolled her eyes at her friend’s childish behavior. Then, she moved around her to continue on her way. “You come on!” Bell laughed, linking her arm with Ashleigh as they continued up the path. “Tell…

Ashleigh was vaguely aware of Caleb lifting her into his arms and carrying her to the bed. Her head was still spinning, the waves of ecstasy slowly receding into a soft thrum of pleasure that radiated through her body. “Ashleigh,” his voice called to her gently. Her eyes fluttered open. “Are you alright?” he asked. She turned her head to see that she was laying on her back on the bed, and he sat on his knees beside her. He looked down at her with concern, but in his eyes, she still saw the…

Ashleigh looked at herself in the mirror, she bit her lower lip with eagerness as she glanced down at what she wore beneath the robe. She giggled and hoped he would be pleased when he saw her. She took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door. Caleb lifted his eyes at the sound of the door opening. He grinned when she stepped out. Gone was the white dress and braided crown. Her hair fell loose and wild around her shoulders and she wore a thin black satin robe that ended just above the knee. Her…

“Oh… ok, guess they are just going for it,” Bell commented, looking away. Wyatt excused himself, walking around the happy couple, still locked together in their embrace. “Seems they are in a world of their own,” he said as he moved beside Fiona and Corrine. “Can’t really blame them,” Fiona sighed, “you remember what it was like on the full moon before you had marked each other, don’t you?” Wyatt cleared his throat but made no comment. The kiss continued until Galen began to clap…

Ashleigh reached her hands out to her father and her brother, taking that last step through the archway into Lily’s Rest. She saw her mother smiling back at her as she held out the bouquet of lilies. Ashleigh took a deep breath as she felt his gaze on her. Caleb. The familiar feeling of his eyes, his longing, and his desire for her. She licked her lips and slowly exhaled, calming her senses. Corrine stepped forward and hugged Ashleigh. “I’m so happy for you,” she whispered. “He’s a good…

“Caleb?” Ashleigh called to him He continued to stare at her blankly. “Caleb?!” she shouted. “Sorry…” he said softly. Shaking his head. “Did you just say…” Caleb chuckled. “No,” he said, shaking his head. “You didn’t say that. So that’s not possible.” “What?” Ashleigh asked, smiling. “That I want to get married tonight?” Caleb looked at her for a sign that she was joking or an indication that there was more to what she was saying. “Are you serious?” he…

“Do you think there will be any fall out from this?” Galen asked, turning the car up the final road leading into the northern territories of Winter. “The execution?” Caleb asked, looking over at Galen. “Why? Do you think there will be?” “I don’t know,” Galen replied honestly. “He grew up here, people cared about him. It can’t be easy to see your friend get killed.” “No,” Caleb answered. “But he hasn’t been anyone’s friend for a long time. And I would guess that most of…
