The day after the Warlord confirmation ceremony, I wake with a headache. As I roll to my side and push myself up, I realize I feel achy all over. It's been a rough few days and now my body is paying for it.
Then again, Wolfe and I had another bout of wild sex after the ceremony. The aches could definitely be sex related. I check the time. I have an hour before I need to be at a council meeting, the first since the Warlord ceremony and the first meeting that will include Alfie of the Mountain People and Erin the Anarchist.
I gather my bathrobe and walk from the bedroom to the large washing room where a massive tub the size of a small pool is located. Silas had it installed while he was Warlord, but no one has used it in over a year. It has been cleaned and prepared for my use. I run the water until it's hot, sitting on the edge of the tub until it's full. I add some essential oils and slip into the water.
It feels heavenly on my sore muscles.
