208 Burdens

      That night, long after Mason had fallen asleep, Ilona lay beside him in their bed, unable to slow her spinning mind.

      She loved Mason, and she loved making love to him... but her mother's words kept coming back to haunt her.

      It was quite possible she was already pregnant… and every time she made love to this man, it became more and more likely.

      When they had finished their meal and were teasing each other, nothing else had been on her mind but her love for him and want to be close to him.  That feeling was always there, but it had been amplified after almost losing him to the dragon.

      Every time she looked at Mason, her heart filled with love for him, and she felt herself being drawn to kiss him and whatever else they could do.
