in society and our liaison might prove ahindrance for you in certain circles, he softly said. Much aswe dont want to believe it, there are many Deira like your sirewho see hethareas little better than opportunists or, worse, lowly whores. You dontwant it known that your first love affairMyonlyaffair!waswith a hethar.Indeed, you must never let it be known that I had you. Always claimit was the other way around.SoI must sustain a falsehood to uphold my reputation, Riodanbitterly said. It wont be a complete falsehood, Dylenmurmured. Not after tonight. Riodan looked back at him,startled. What-what do you mean?Dylenreleased him and went to the glassware cabinet. He took out adrinking glass then led Riodan into their bedroom. From the back ofthe wardrobe, he brought out the bottle of mirashRiodan had impulsively purchased just days earlier. Riodan watchedspeechlessly as his lover poured himself a glass of the cerulean-huedliquid.Dy?He gulped. I didnt mean that you shouldDyleneyes glittered. This is my gift to you, Rio. No matter how manyDeira I lie with, I shall never allow another to own me as you willthis night.Heraised the glass to his lips and drained it. A thoughtful smilecurved his lips.Ididnt expect it to be so sweet, he remarked. In any case, itneeds time to take effect. Strip, ariad,Riodanstared at him disbelievingly.

Resting his head on Dylens hard thigh, heparted his legs to allow Dylen to do likewise. He nearly cried outwhen Dylen summarily caught his hips and dragged him forward toengulf his shaft in the moist warmth of his mouth.
