Returning
After a little while, Lady Ashford leaned closer to Theo, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Hey, son-in-law," she began, her voice dripping with a teasing lilt that made him swallow hard. "Why don't you give your newfound 'fame' to your mother-in-law?"
Theo blushed a little, feeling his cheeks warm at the innuendo. He knew she was referring to the intimate moments he had shared with Calla and Aira, but the way she said it made his stomach flutter. "I'm not sure what you mean," he replied, trying to keep his voice steady.
Lady Ashford leaned closer, her breath tickling his ear. "You know exactly what I mean," she murmured, her voice low and seductive. "I saw the way you looked at those village girls. The hunger in your eyes." She reached over and placed her hand on his thigh, giving it a squeeze.
