A Cliche Porno (12)

Aeress

     There was a knock on the bedroom door. Aeress got up and answered. She was surprised to find Nina standing there. "Hi."

     She gave that familiar friendly smile. Her silky black locks were twisted into a tight and neat bun, which matched perfectly with her plain pant suit. "Aeress. I had come on business, but I must admit I was eager to check-"

     Aeress nearly tackled her with a hug. She wrapped her arms around her and held on tightly. "My god, I thought you were dead. Everything happened so fast, all that blood. I woke up and he swept us away to this castle in Alaska-" 

     "Aeress, you must relax, here, sit." The tall woman lead her to the bed. "I am fine. You must calm down. None of that was your fault. Everything is going to be fine." 

     Aeress took a few minutes to breathe and chuckled some. "Sorry for the little breakdown. Seeing you just brought back a flood of emotions." 

     Nina nodded, patting her legs. "A lot of new developments since we last met, yes? I knew you would have an honorable mate, but I never would have thought..." she bowed her head. 

     Aeress huffed out a breath. "Please don't tell me you are going to start calling me Godhead too!" 

     Nina looked at her for a very long time, but not uncomfortably. "No. If that is what you wish. You obviously are not accustomed to this life." She tilted her head some like a curious puppy. "This has just been a whirlwind for you. So unfortunate." 

     Aeress laughed. "Thanks for the sympathy. At this point, I really have no energy to fight whatever the hell is going on. Just gotta roll with it." 

     Nina chortled, combing her hand over the smooth surface of her strands. "So you are getting along with Premier nicely? I was a little worried, you two didn't seem in accord at the celebration." 

     Aeress felt heat rushing along her arms and up her neck. "Sure. You could say that. He is my mate, so I suppose we have to see eye to eye whether we like it or not." 

     Her dark eyes widened, but there was her smile. "That is wonderful. It isn't my place..." 

     "What is it?" Aeress wrung her hands.

     Nina looked out the window. "Premier could use a woman in his life." 

     Aeress laughed at this. "He doesn't need anything." 

     Nina nodded in agreement. "You are correct, but I must say, if there was anyone I could choose as Godhead..." she looked deeply into her eyes. "It would be you." 

     Aeress sighed. "I am not used to so many people having faith in me. No offense, but I think everyone is overstating my character." She rubbed her hands down her own bare thighs. 

     Nina chuckled and shook her head. "You were born for this. This is not an accident." She patted her knee again. "This is quite frightening, but fate always has a plan. This was meant to be."

     Aeress sighed. "I hope so." 

    "So!" Nina clapped her hands together. "Do you have plans for dinner tonight?" 

     Aeress smiled to herself. "Yes, I am going on a date with Warrick." 

     Her eyes raised in curiosity. "Oh, really?" she fixed her perfect hair again. "So I take it things are going very well then? That is wonderful, Aeress." 

     Aeress tried to act nonchalant. "I figured I should get to know him before we go any further. He suggested dinner, and how could I refuse?"
