Fantasy Quote by S.R. Ford
““She released her weapon with one hand, twisted around, and kissed him. It was the deepest she had ever kissed him. Blood filled his face, and he went limp at the touch of her lips. Namine took the moment of dropped defense to put Zarrys flat on his back with a long blade at his throat before he even knew what was happening. As he looked up the long shaft to her smiling face, he gave an embarrassed chuckle. Fallon and Kirah were laughing behind her. "Me," Namine said proudly. Then she withdrew the weapon and helped Zarrys back to his feet. Cheeks burning, Zarrys returned his sword to its sheath. "That's cheating.””
