Blackfeather Woods I will show you some tenderness

Meldresi knew that Damien's mind were set on a few things in life, and the relationships of his mother were not very high on that list; perhaps they were at the bottom. And she knew that he did not like being told what to do, being raised as a prince will do that to you. So instead of going to bed, he walked away, and Meldresi let him. If he wanted to sleep, then he will sleep, and if he didn't, then he wouldn't. Meldresi looked towards Burke, silently telling him this with a roll of her eyes before placing her head down across Burke's shoulders and shutting her eyes.

From the tone of his voice, Burke didn't like the consort title. Perhaps it was the lack of sex involved with the title. She smirked to herself at that. They were getting close, yes, but she had yet to let him do anything remotely sexual to her, on the pretense that he was injured. But he was healing now, as seen by his restlessness to get - metaphorically - into her pants. He would just have to wait a bit longer; and she did too.
