"Horror stories?" I echoed, puzzled for a heartbeat. "Oh, about my family."

To tell him he was wrong would have been a lie. There were plenty of stories about the Shahrizai. "I was thinking more along the lines of bad patrons in general. It can be hard to say no, especially since the patron chooses the adept, not the other way around. Some of us don't turn down assignations even if we aren't attracted to the patron, for various different reasons."

"That makes sense, though it troubles me to think of you with someone you aren't happy with," I said as we turned up the walk to Cereus. "I guess I shall just have to do what I can to make sure that doesn't happen."

The implications filled me with a certain joy and a certain anticipation. "I have been very blessed so far, and it seems doubly so on this day." I smiled at him as we came to a stop at Cereus's doors.

"Then perhaps you will share some of your luck with me and favor me with a kiss?" I asked, turning to face her, smiling charmingly.

I smiled up at him. Going on my tiptoes, I laid a kiss on his cheek. "Luck." I murmured the wish before slowly returning to the ground.

Before she could step away, I leaned down and captured her mouth with mine, kissing her slow and deep. I didn't hold her though so she could pull away if she wished.

In my surprise, my hands fell on his chest, but I didn't push away. Heat rushed through me, and I had to step back after a moment, a hand going to my tingling lips.
"Not fair," I murmured the protest before smiling. "Now I have to wait."

I sucked slowly at my bottom lip, drawing the lingering taste of her from my skin and making a low sound of pleasure.
"I wanted more luck," I told her. smiling, I handed her the crate. "Your package."

"Just be careful what you wish for." I gave the age-old advice, taking the crate with a smile. Gods he was good at seduction. "Thank you. Both for this and the afternoon. Until next time, Gabriel." I curtsied slightly.

"Send me a note when you get your marquing, so I can come and see" I told her. "I'm at the Duchess Shahrizai's."
With one last smile, and a wink, I turned and made my way back down the walk. I had slipped the little bottle of apple blossom oil into her pouch as we kissed for her to find later, the thought made me smile all the more.
