“He would want you out of the way to get at Leanne, but that wouldn’t leave her safe,” she said. “He sounds like an abuser. Someone who’d be...at her up and blame her for it, saying she made him do it. That makes him more dangerous to Leanne than you. He might kill her just so you can’t have her anymore.”I stood up. “Then we have to get her out of there.”Dalton grabbed my arm and yanked me back down on the bed. “Sit, and calm down,” she said. “You can’t go charging off without a plan. You said. The first came when she and her father needed shelter for the night, much as your father did. The girl who cursed me had told me that true love’s kiss was the key to its undoing, so I thought… I offered him gold in exchange for him leaving her with me, and he accepted.“I offer no excuse, but those girls came to be important to me. Their company was the only human contact I had. I was still selfish, stealing a year from their young lives to stave off my loneliness and feed my hope of redemption.. “That’s right. And your behavior reflects badly not only on you, but on Kent, and even on our whole church. God can’t bless any of us while we allow one of the members to openly rebel against His plan. For your own good, and the good of everyone in the church, the elders and I will discipline you tonight. Hopefully Kent will learn something from tonight as well, but to make sure, the elders will set up a visitation schedule to check on your progress.”Kelli was too stunned to offer any. “Well, that should cheer you up a little,” she says.“We get to end this ho hum tour and get back to doing something fun?” Rin questions, batting her eyes at the human. “Maybe something involving a sweet drink afterward?”Ashe laughs for a moment. “No actually. It’s something a little better.”“What could be better than sex?” Rin asks, now the one perplexed.It draws out another short laugh from Ashe. “Well, now that you put it that way. There isn’t anything better than sex.” They both get another.
