It probably didn&#8217;t have the<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">effect he intended. He was wearing jeans, a long sleeve black tee that stretched across his chest<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">enticingly, and a black Jack Daniels apron tied around his waist. She thought perhaps nothing<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">was sexier than watching Ram&#8217;s muscles ripple while cooking her breakfast.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;Do no&#8217; try to deflect. &#8216;Tis I.

I should have reminded him what<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">happened when he was in charge of the Baka interview at Unit Drac. He pouted for hours after<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">learnin&#8217; first hand that the Lady Laiken does as she fuck-well pleases.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">Elora concurred by nodding vigorously. &#8220;It&#8217;s a burden, but you bear it well, my love.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;All kiddin&#8217; aside.

Just teasin&#8217;. You know I<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">would no&#8217; change a hair on your head. Or his.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;Okay. All I&#8217;m sayin&#8217; is that insanity doesn&#8217;t run on my side of the family.&#8221; A look of<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">horror slowly covered her face as she realized what she&#8217;d just said. She hadn&#8217;t yet personally<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">confronted what the assassin in the woods had said about the Laiwynn clan, but if it was true, it<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">meant that cruelty and despotic behavior might run in her family.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">Ram put his utensils down, wiped his hand on his apron, and offered himself for a hug.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">She stepped into the comfort of his arms.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;What I was trying to tell you earlier is that I&#8217;ve never made any secret of the fact that I<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">won&#8217;t give up my freedom to live a restricted life, no matter how luxurious or comfortable.

You need to come up with a more agreeable Plan B and you need<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">to do it while I&#8217;m still in a listening mood.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;Any ideas?&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">She looked down at her pretty Holland china plate, part of the set they got as a wedding<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">present from Kay and Katrina. She had a picture of how good life was going to be there in their<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">new home. Had the Ralengclan assassins spoiled her vision of the future to the point of ruin?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">Was it time to confront that possibility?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;No.&#8221; When she looked back up, Ram thought he might have seen her look just a little<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">worn. Like her aura hadn&#8217;t been buffed in a while. Sometimes he caught her looking off into<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">space and he suspected that she was thinking about what she&#8217;d been told by the Ralengclan<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">assassin, wondering if the massacre of her family was really a coup d&#8217;etat.&#8221; Armed people<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">guarding the house. Hardly what I pictured.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;I know.&#8221; Ram sat down next to her and took her hand in his. &#8220;We&#8217;ll figure it out.

The change was so subtle that no one besides<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">Elora would have even noticed it.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;He&#8217;s workin&#8217; on detectin&#8217; interdimensional activity &#8211; identifyin&#8217; the source and location.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">He says &#8217;tis a logical first step toward the defense system we&#8217;re goin&#8217; to be needin&#8217;.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">&#8220;Yeah.

He had put a lot of himself into renovating the property and<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">somewhere along the way had come to understand why she loved it and pictured their little<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">family living happily ever after there. &#8220;But we were happy at Jefferson too. We could even help<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:small;\">Monq.
