"Good," I nodded. "You are close to the girl?"
"She thinks we're close." Lady Delilah's voice was pure sex purring around the room. I throbbed to take her.
I clenched my hand, fighting the desire to seize her. It had not gone well for me last time. I do not know why I let the woman bare steel against me and live. She was just...the Lady Delilah.
"You will need to keep tabs on her," Lady Delilah said, producing a broach from a pouch. It was golden and studded with garnets. It flashed through the air as she tossed it to me. I snatched it, staring down at the brooch. "I will give her a matching broach. A token of my esteem."
I stroked the garnets. "You've had a mage enchant it?"
"I have. It will let you keep informed of her progress."
"Wise," I said, inclining my head to Lady Delilah
A pleased smile crossed her lips before she rose. "I must depart."
"Must you?" my wife moaned, seizing the knight's hand.
