Insatiable appetites

In the privacy of the cool brook, and with thanks to a small cake of Issack’s soap, the beautiful and unadorned Sereena is finally clean. Though generally uninhibited and unashamed, she still preferred to wait until all the men were finished and distracted with other chores.
Fond of Marlon as she is, she didn’t want to torture him with the sight of her wet and naked body.
That said, she had spotted someone spying on her through the bushes.
It was probably the young barbarian; Volkon, but she couldn’t be sure and, to be honest, didn’t care that much.
Let him have a free show if he wanted.
Her jewellery was scrubbed back to its shinning brilliance and her silk and satin cloths were laid out and drying in the setting sun. She wasn’t cold though, as she was now warmly wrapped in a soft blanket from Issack’s extensive supplies.
Surveying her possessions lying out on the rock beside her, she had to admit that she’d gained more than a fair haul of treasure…
Gold, platinum, silver and many expensive gems. It was the magical items though, that gave her the most joy.
Another enchanted dagger, a second wand and the ring were nice additions to her collection.
Still, she could feel a hunger for more. It was like her avaricious dragon soul would never, could never be fully satisfied.

  1. I SWEAR it wasn't me, guv.

    PS - let's drop her, I can smell trouble - even through the soap.

  2. As David posited, no-one knows what Volkon's doing. It's up to you...
    Peeping Tom or stealthy outrider?

  3. Also, Sereena's completely loyal.

    Damn it - you really are trying to get me to write something aren't you.
    Frankly, you probably wish you hadn't.
