She couldn't say what gods Drakien might have followed, but her gods were a fickle bunch. There was none of that all-knowing, all-powerful, all-forgiving nonsense. The gods of her world were really not all that far removed from the mortals they presided over. They had their vices and their tempers. Most of the time they didn't even get along with each other. One just had to look at Zeus and Hera to see how sour the immortals could be to their own kind.

Nope, the galley would not be coming back for her unless the rest of the crew discovered his deception. And even if they did, the question of when was also integral.

He didn't seem particularly eager to take any further action himself, but that was fine by her. After a few minutes of her attention she had no doubt he'd be just as interested as she was. With surprising agility and quickness, she positioned her body between his legs. Slender muzzle came up to the corner of his jaw where she nipped him playfully. One dark gloved hand rested on his chest for a moment before slowly, tantalizing traveling down his abdomen.
