"I must say that's what I was hoping to hear." They had been a bound couple for a period but events were what they were and they had moved apart. But they continued to return to each other, they weren't together but the truth was they were never really apart.
Skarlet was not a woman without options, attractive and powerful she could take lovers or companions as she wished. Though she hadn't, none dared whisper about her choices or preferences. The most intimate she'd been with others was those whose blood had fed and empowered her. When it came to the social or rarer still romantic entanglements the man across from her was the only one who ever seemed to rank among her guests.
"I could see to accommodations for you, within the palace." He was a valued contractor and always her favored guest, he would be treated with all due respect. Of course, there was also another option. "Or you know my quarters well enough and would be welcome there."
That was as formal an invitation as could be made, she understood that this was a short-term arrangement and he was a man who valued his freedom but the choice would ultimately be his.
