Relax

“Would you to prefer to camp out amongst those who freely use magic to harm other for spare change? If so, I will gladly borrow the horse for an extended period of time, and be on my way.” His lips so close to her ear sent a shiver down her spine.

Her elbow moved back towards his ribs in hopes to give him a jolt. “I will admit to no such thing, but your insinuation is insulting. Besides, I understand that I am problematic. It is in my nature. If you had been raised with a family of 25 siblings, you would also become particular and unafraid to state your needs.” Conwood could understand the humor he found in his comment, she just felt as though her status was being put into question. She had maintained her virtue this far, she wouldn’t dare risk it without a marriage in sight; though her body responded differently to the idea. Her thoughts traveled, causing her to relax against his chest.
