His face twisted up as the cold coffee hit his taste buds and he swore under his breath at letting the coffee get cold. Disgusted with himself he set the coffee back on the table and was about to get up and retrieve more when her sugar plume and spice scent filtered to him and he turned.
Sadi smiled from the patio doors and walked into the main room holding the large mug and wearing only her usual thin robe. Seeing her dressed as she was made Andro stop and realize that it was nearly two in the morning and all but the Durcunusaan guards had long since gone to bed.
