eat?”
Burn grinned. “No. Let her sleep. I had no idea that she snored.”
The noise she was making made her vulnerable, made her mortal and swelled his love for her beyond any level he had anticipated. There was something about having a destructive force snoring gently after watching over him that caused a strange tripping in his heart.
The combination of volatility and protective impulses made Vexa his perfect woman. She may be older, but he had far more experience in the actual world and he looked forward to seeing which experiences they could combine in the future.
Vexa droned on in her sleep, and he stifled a laugh. If they were together long enough, he might be able to see a day where she slept in his arms and snored like that.
He could dream.
Author’s note
In Guardian Enjel, I went to Jela and explored their dating and mating rituals. In Deal with a Dhemon , we learned that the Dhemons are the ones with Victorian sensibilities and the mating habits of large cats.
A child of the two species is bound to be a little messed up when it comes to finding the right girl for him, so what would fit better than an ancient woman with less exposure to the worlds than a teenager.
Rain of Tears will see the last recorded clone out and walking her world as the weather witch. She has been bringing the rains for a very long time, and the chance to do something new is definitely tempting. What else could the Citadel possibly offer?
Thanks for reading,

About the Author
Viola Grace was born in Manitoba, Canada where she still resides today. She really likes it there. She has no pets and can barely keep sea monkeys alive for a reasonable amount of time. Her line of day job tends to be analytical which leaves her mind hopping to weave stories. No co-worker is safe from her character analysis. In keeping with busy hands are happy hands, her hobbies have included cross-stitch, needlepoint, quilting, costuming, cake decorating, baking, cooking, metal work, beading, sculpting, painting, doll making, henna tattoos, chain mail, and a few others that have been forgotten. It is quite often that these hobbies make their way into her tales.
Viola’s fetishes include boots and corsetry, and her greatest weakness is her uncontrollable blush. Her writing actively pursues the Happily Ever After that so rarely occurs in nature. It is an admirable thing and something that we should all strive for. To find one that we truly like, as well as love.
