It was by small miracle that he came across the only woman who didn't seem to mind his sensual glances. Any other dame would have scolded his wandering eye by now, but she seemed to revel in it - if only slightly. Was she not admired where she came from? Was this why she had strayed? It wasn't as if he particularly cared to know the answer to either of those questions, but he couldn't help but wonder. The tingling warmth in his spine continued to grow and fester, pausing his thoughts of her momentarily. He wanted to know what this sensation was, and why it was occurring.

Eyes of darkness went back to roving over her, focusing then on regions that were just out of his line of sight. She looked great, but he felt the sudden urge to know how she smelled, how she tasted. Tongue lashed hungrily over his lips as he felt the warmth surging up his spine and localizing between his shoulder blades.

"You must stay here with me, precious. You will be the very first of my new collection." He twisted his head away for a split second, muttering under his breath. "Where is that damn Maija when she could actually be useful?" He spat out her name with displeasure before turning his haunting gaze back to Tahlia. Oh how amusing her reaction would be.
