Chapter 209: New Sensations (1)
Evanna left the warmth of the camp and the clutches of Arawn’s tempting eyes, allowing the chill of the evening air to calm down. The prince did not follow her, nor did the dark fae who started to draw symbols into the dirt ground with a stick. There wasn’t much to see in the thick darkness of more woods beside the glittering light reflected on the lake.
With her body relaxing and the heat of her blood cooling, Evanna could think clearly again. Only Arawn could lead her into temptation, and although she knew there were risks with falling and allowing the elven prince to claim her, she couldn’t help it. He had always been alluring and naughty from the moment she reunited with him in Direwood forest, following him like a lost puppy. Even now, with the crisp air clearing her mind, she felt these urges not only to be near him but to touch him and for him to touch her.
Arawn had already kissed her, and now she’d had a taste; she wanted more. But this was not the place to think or fantasize about such naughty things. They were travelling to Lyvaria with creatures and other dangers surrounding them, yet here she was, wanting to join Arawn in the lake. Wondering how far things could go with the prince.
"Enough, Evanna," she scolded herself in a whisper. She looked up at the tall trees to the navy night sky as whisps of breath left her lips, revealing the slow changes in temperature and the environment.
The princess had noted how the temperature dropped the more they travelled towards Lyvaria. It made her wonder if soon she would see what Conrad was used to seeing every winter. Snow.
Was Lyvaria a snowy kingdom or just absolutely freezing?
By the time Evanna returned from her patrol of the area, the men were back, including Garrett, who also seemed freshly washed. Ronan and Ger sat chatting quietly, and from what Evanna had picked up on was about some venture they went on during Ger’s time away from the palace. Axel sat beside Fiza, he questioned her about her home town, but she grinned mischievously, asking him if he wanted to play a game instead.
From the slightly crazed look beaming behind her eyes, Axel shook his head and tried to question her again, his friendly, gentlemanly attitude never failing when the faerie rolled her eyes.
"Women should look out for this one.. Another way to get into their panties.. the nice guy routine. It doesn’t work on me, big boy. You get an A for trying, though." Fiza patted his shoulder, congratulatory.
