“I think it would be hot if we had a threesome. You know, you and me and another lady.” Richard set his fork down next to his plate and stared directly at Kahlan, waiting for her reaction.

Kahlan was struck absolutely dumb. The two of them had been dating for years. Years. It was hard for her to remember a time before she met Richard. They had ( Read more... )

CHAPTER NINETEEN: Don't want to hear about it, Every single one's got a story to tell, Everyone knows about it, From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

Kahlan’s hands went instinctively to cover her breasts exposed as Richard fell tangled in the blanket. She winced in sympathy at the sound of him hitting the floor. But she didn’t have time ( Read more... )

Richard pressed against her side, stroking her thigh, running his fingers through her hair, resting his arms around her shoulder. It felt as if he was touching her all the time, afraid she might have ceased to be corporeal at some point. She felt relieved that Cara was not sitting in first class with them to watch as he leaned in to nuzzle her neck ( Read more... )

There was no other explanation for the brazen way she had just kissed a nearly complete stranger -another woman!-right after receiving news like that. Her body didn’t mind the loss of her mind though, and had already begun clambering for more. ( Read more... )
