She was in the shower, going through her ritual bathing preparation, when I began my own preparations in the bedroom. I pulled down the bags and opened them up one by one, laying them side by side. I had cleared off a table and covered it with a white towel, then covered that with white paper towels for the perfect (and reminiscent of a gyn office) prep tabl...
If you've enjoyed the story so far, please drop a comment or two, and I'll take it as an indication to keep writing.

Prologue October 20th 1289 Midi-Pyrénées, France The moon shone bright against the solid backdrop of the night, a silent witness to the measures of the world. Like an all seeing eye, it never blinked, even as the tortured screams ceased to ring from the grand manor house upon the high hill. It never blinked, although it could not see within the mortared...
--- Introduction --- It ought to be every man's dream to share a small boat with a woman blessed the beauty and grace of a goddess, to be alone with her, to have both of us naked in the light of an early summer morning.

I keep house for Nick Rhodes. That is to say, I'm his housekeeper. The agency sent me over a few months ago; I thought it might have been a one time assignment, as he's never really home, but he likes someone to come in everyday. So hey, that's easy, keeping a clean house clean. I have my routine. When I first walk in the door, I scratch Yag behind the ears...
Those that needed to went to the bathroom. It took about five minutes for everyone to cycle into the bathroom. Everyone also refreshed their drinks. I was probably the only one not drinking. I had wine with dinner but switched to club soda. Once we were all back sitting in the living room, everyone looked to me. I shrugged. "Bridget, you get to ask this tim...
