Roxy felt like they were lucky she was feeling naughty.
She led Torian and Ren through the dense tree line behind the Iron-Wood Manor. It was already evening and it was the perfect time to be naughty.
Roxy stood at the grassy bank, slipping the long silk shirt over her head and letting it pool at her feet. The cool evening breeze kissed her heated, heavily bruised skin. She stepped into the water, letting out a long, blissful sigh as the chill immediately began to soothe the deep aches in her lower back and thighs.
She waded out until the water reached her waist, turning to lean her back against a massive, smooth, half-submerged boulder.
Torian and Ren wasted no time. They shed their tunics and trousers on the bank, stepping into the water while their eyes remained on Roxy.
"You promised a massage," Roxy reminded them, her voice a soft, echoing purr over the rippling water. "I am holding you to that."
"A Tiger always honors his debts," Torian replied as he cornered her.
