Aevala released a sigh of her own, seeing that their inevitable separation had come. She glanced up at Lara as she whispered into her ear, the tingle of desire and anticipation surged through her veins. She smiled and nodded. “Of course.

Quickly changing back into her more familiar garb, Aevala left to see what the verdict was for the prisoner.
