"Remember that I am ravenous?" "But for food or pleasures?" she teased back, laughing softly. "Ahh, faerie witch, I know what you would have me say, but I tell you, both!" Kaliq answered her with a chuckle. With a wave of his hand he transported them to her bedchamber and onto the bed, where a tray of tempting foods awaited. They were both now quite naked. "Pity the poor mortals who cannot indulge their twin appetites at the same time, Lara, my love." He caught up her hand, kissing it tenderly, then kissing the inside of her wrist, as well. Lara caused a strawberry to appear in her upturned palm. He smiled at her as their eyes met, his white teeth carefully picking up the strawberry and eating it. When he had swallowed she pulled his head toward her, kissing him, her tongue finding his, murmuring with delight as she tasted the strawberry, breathing the fragrance of it into her own mouth. "Delicious!" she said softly, magicking the tray to the sideboard as she lay back, and three more berries appeared in the shallow chasm between her breasts.
