Azriel woke the next morning, feeling fully satiated. She could not even imagine how loving and gentle Ashdeer had been with her that night. He had cradled her in his arms and slowly and gently made love to her. Then when she had thought, she could no longer bear any more pleasure, he had taken a velvet blindfold and placed it upon her. She had felt him use a satin sash to tie her arms behind her back and then he had placed her like that on the bed.
