FORBIDDEN TALENTS (59 page)

A number of young women had sighed forlornly as the Elven warriors departed. Apparently the stigma of being Fey-marked was no longer a problem, at least for some people.

Ragni pulled her closer, stroking his hand over her belly, sending shivers of desire through her body yet again. Saeun wondered if she was with child yet. If not, it wasn’t for lack of effort. Contentment and joy filled her to overflowing and she savored the emotions, knowing that Ragni would feel her happiness along with his own.

“
Utta hopes we’ll both conceive soon, so our children will be of an age with Celia and Dahleven’s son.
”

Ragni laughed and hugged her.
“
I’ll happily do my part, love. Just give me a chance to catch my breath.
”

“
And Aenid and Sorn’s daughter will be only a year older,
”
she added.

“
Freyr and Freya!
”
Ragni chuckled.
“
I can just imagine the gaggle of them running wild through the halls like Dahl, and Sorn, and I did. We’ll have our hands full in a few years,
”
he said, caressing her breast.

Her arousal was instantaneous and she pressed into his palm, wanting more.
“
You mean like yours are?
”
she teased.

He rolled her under him, and his smile was full of love and the promise of more.
“
Gods, I hope so.
”
