"Now, hopefully he actually makes a comment about my appearance," Oksana thought hopefully.

Dark Intrigues

Assar did his best to avoid Oksana for the rest of the trip. He had ridden outside the carriage next to the driver, and only came in when he wanted to nap. He was currently riding next to the driver and knew they were nearing their destination. They had passed several convoys by now and had traveled through a couple of outlying smaller cities. He was eager to get to their destination so he could distract himself again from the beautiful but dangerous vampire. His mind wandered back to the small meal they had, and to what she had done to him.


He had absolutely zero experience with a woman making such advances on him. He’d had no idea how to react and had panicked. Not to say it hadn’t felt good. Just the feel of her delicate yet insistent feet under the table, rubbing over his body had sent shivers throughout his spine. His mind wandered to thoughts of what it would be like to lay with a woman who actually desired him for something other than a payday.
