The Mask of Omegon (Gwen Farris Book 6) Read Free Page B

I’m not the constabulary however, so it isn’t my business. Not as long
as you aren’t actually sacrificing anyone. It wouldn’t be even if you’d
been committing crimes out here. Though…” She looked at him, turning so that
she could see him in the edge of her hand-lamp light. He’d stopped walking when
she did, seeming nervous.
    Which she didn’t get. After
all, she’d just said that he was free and clear. Even if he were guilty of a
lot more than had been admitted to, she couldn’t see him being more worried at that point. She was really about to just let him go home. Even back
to his work, helping trees and preventing evil shop keepers from ruining lives.
It sounded kind of noble even, as long as it wasn’t more than that.
    Still, he moved toward her, so she
readied herself. Waiting for the blows to rain down on her. To punish her for
sharing a body with the most evil woman in history. The one that had brought
the possibility of a rift war down on everyone. Even if it were hard to take,
she decided to let him do it. Even if it killed her. That… might have been a
blessing, at that point. An end to the suffering that each day had become for
her. If nothing else, it would at least be real punishment for it. A thing that
she deserved, for failing to stop Katherine.
    Which made no sense, given that the
man was clearly humoring her. Thinking she was just out playing in the
woods. Alone.
    Instead, he kissed her.
    It was just a peck, though on the
lips. He didn’t even try for a hug first, or to go along with it. Not
that she was a great expert on sex, or even what people did on long walks in
the woods. Standing up straighter after it was done, Tomas went wide eyed. Like
he’d surprised himself, being so forward.
    “Um… Forgive me! I shouldn’t take such
liberties. That was…” He seemed embarrassed. The real kind, unless he was a
much better actor than he’d shown her so far.
    Gwen didn’t know what to feel at
all. She was older than he was, both in mind and body. It was kind of
clear that he was interested in her however, or he wouldn’t have bothered with
even a quick kiss. In her life that had rarely happened.
    Never when she was alone with a man at
all. Part of her wanted to freak out. To run, or even fly away. That
wouldn’t change anything in her life though, so she simply nodded, and decided
to pretend to be an adult. She was, when it came right down to it, so very
tired of things. Especially being alone.
    “How old are you, Tomas?” She
waited, for him to say he was younger than he looked. She was a horrible
judge of that kind of thing after all. It made a certain kind of sense for him
to be fourteen. In which case being alone like they were, was probably hugely
confusing to him. It kind of was to her, so she understood the basic idea.
    “Twenty-two. Old enough to know
better. Forgive me…” He seemed truly ashamed now. Like he’d done something
worse than steal an innocent kiss.
    Which he probably had. It had given
her ideas, after all, which was almost never a great plan. Really, it was a
thing to avoid, if at all possible. It almost never was, however.
    “Oh. All right then.” Leaning in,
she put her arms around him and kissed him back. Probably poorly, but they
worked out what to do more or less after that.
    Hopefully he wasn’t actually evil.
If so, then some of the things she was planning on doing with him would be a
bit hard to explain later, in the reports. Still, he didn’t seem all that
experienced. Also he wasn’t demanding of her. It was clear that he would have
left off at any point in what they were doing if she’d even hinted at
anything except her rather nervous eagerness.
    It wasn’t until she was doing
things on him with her mouth, kneeling carefully in the forest at night, that
Katherine even bothered to pop her head out. Probably because she was perverted
that way.
