The Throne halls of the Sapphirine Temple...
Hal was seated comfortably on his throne and that posture did not change even after Adeline took off her clothes even though he let his eyes roam her body and take in her wonderful proportions.
Adeline was as old as Melinda (give or take a few years) so even without the hundred-year seclusion, she had lived for over one hundred and fifty years but in the grand scheme of things when the life expectancies of all Saints was Ten thousand years, she was still considered a youth.
Adeline Silva was mature and while she was not immune to mistakes and making the wrong decisions, she was still a genius by all definitions of the word but that genius ability of hers did not translate to experience in sexual acts which she had none of.
