Dan sighed, "My parents wouldn't approve."

"It seems to me that your mother liked me," Shiloh cocked an eyebrow at him, "But that's neither here nor there. So do me a favor, get us a room with a nice, big bed." Shiloh winked at him.

"I'll try. See you there," Dan replied as he opened his door to let her out.

Shiloh winked then sauntered from the apartment. Not wanting to seem overly eager, she took her time making her way to The Thousand Steps Inn, taking the long way around the docks. She smiled at a few of the sailors and dock workers as she strolled along. Then she grinned when she noticed the absence of a certain dock worker she'd tied to the bed in The Wildcat. She continued her stroll, lazily sauntering her way to the inn.

Shiloh stepped inside, her gaze scanning the common room. She smiled, approaching Frank Kelten. "Good day, Master Kelten," she beamed.

"Shiloh, how are you?" He returned her smile. "What brings you here?"

"Well… I'm here to meet a fellow. He's got dark hair and should be wearing a wizard's robe. Has he checked in?"

"Yes, he has, Shiloh. He tried to con me into giving him a room cheaper. Where'd you meet him, why do I get the feeling you're up to no good?" He asked as a devious grin crossed his weathered face.

She leaned in closer, lowering her voice, "It's a job to save one of The Family. By the way, which room is he in? And how long did he pay for?"

"An hour and he's in the room at the top of the stairs to the left. If it's for The Family, take all the time you need," he winked.

Shiloh laughed then headed for the stairs. Her long legs ate up the distance quickly. Soon she was standing at the door. She tapped lightly, "Dan," she called out as she pushed it open.

"Hey again," Dan smiled brightly as she entered the room.

She beamed a grin at him, "Hello again, handsome." She closed the door, sauntering over to him.

"Like the room? I bribed a guy downstairs to rent it for us. Nobody's going to suspect anything." Dan looked around the room, smiling back at her. He shifted a little bit, licking his lips. Part of him still couldn't believe this beautiful girl was interested in him.

"Is the bed as inviting as it looks?" A naughty grin crossed her face as she pushed the thin straps of her dress off her shoulders, the silky fabric hitched on her tautened nipples, delaying the full exposure of her breasts.

Dan gulped, eyeing her breasts, "You look great." He licked his lips.

"And you haven't even seen me naked!"

He studied her further then he cleared his throat as he felt his arousal growing. "So, how...? I mean, uh…" Dan fidgeted slightly, groaning low in his throat at the throbbing sensation in his loins.

"Touch me, Dan," she pushed at her top, allowing it to clear her breasts. He carefully placed his hands on her hips, drawing her close to him. His eyes focused on her erect nipples. She pressed him to her breasts, nuzzling him as his silky hair tickled her skin. She let out as soft moan as his left hand slid around her back, holding her firmly against him. His right hand moved from her waist, covering then squeezing her left breast vigorously.

"Oh yes!"

Cupping then stroking her breasts for a bit, his fingers pushed her top down further then trailed up to her nipples, feeling them taut under his enthusiastic ministrations.

"Mmm yes," she sighed as her head tilted back. Her body responded to his touch, blooming like a flower opening its petals at the first rays of dawn. Her nipples elongated, growing into stiff peaks. She let out another soft sigh as she felt a familiar stirring deep within her belly; a smoldering heat that dripped liquid fire down into her loins. Dan continued fondling her breasts for several minutes, unable to pull away from her creamy orbs. His hips jerked, pressing the growing bulge forming under his robe against her.

Unable to keep her hands still at her side while he explored her, Shiloh's hands caressed his arms before dropping to his waist. She felt around for a few moments before sliding them over his hips then downwards to his groin. She gently caressed his shaft through the fabric of his robe, delighted that he wore nothing beneath it.

Dan flinched, shying away from her grasp. He gulped, "Uhhh…"

Shiloh arched an eyebrow, advancing a step toward him. She watched as he ran a hand across his brow, taking a deep breath. "What's wrong, Dan?"

"I... Uh..." Soft pink tinted his cheeks as a blush formed, "Nothing. Shouldn't we, I mean...?"

"Yes, let's," she purred then removed the rest of her clothes, hopping onto the large feather bed. She let out a throaty sigh as she stretched out, curling up on her side. Dan's eyes followed her every move, fixed on her naked form. He cleared his throat as her legs teasingly parted.

"Come to me," she winked. "Don't keep me waiting, handsome."

Dan licked his lips, pulling his eyes from her parted legs. He turned away quickly, undressing himself. Shiloh watched him intently, admiring his lean, lanky form. She sighed at the sight of his toned arms before her gaze dropped lower to peruse the dimples above his nicely rounded ass.

He must have felt her eyes upon him as he blushed red. Shiloh flashed a curious look at him as she brushed her hand over the bed next to her. "You're a bit shy, aren't you?"

Dan pursed his lips before giving an apologetic smile. "It's just that I'm not used to undressing in front of a girl." He drew in a deep breath before turning around to face her. A look of pleasure swept across her face as her eyes drew in his handsome face. She let her eyes move over his face, caressing his features with her gaze. The arch of his brow was as delicate as the curve of a bird's wing, and his dark lashes were as lush, long and thick as many women
dreamed theirs could be. His nose was straight and perfect; not too broad, not too narrow. Next was the gentle curve of his mouth, framed by shapely lips, lips that could surely turn her to jelly with a single kiss. Her gaze traveled even further down, taking in the strong, graceful arch of his neck, the broad shoulders. His torso was as lean as the rest of him. She grinned as her eyes dropped to his groin. She had thought he'd be too embarrassed to get excited, but the thick protruding member proved otherwise.

Dan joined her on the bed, sitting down by her side, staring at her lush body.

"Touch my breasts again, handsome," she purred, stretching out before him. She thrust her breasts up at him, noticing how his eyes had drifted back to them. Dan cleared his throat once more then caressed her left breast, barely touching at first before continuing with a little more confidence. He cupped the whole mound, his fingers pressing into her soft flesh. He squeezed gently, touching her nipple, making it tingle sweetly.

Shiloh moaned loudly, drawing a ragged breath. Dan's hands caressed her further, feeling her nipple swell as his thumb ran over it.

"Oh yes," she sighed, her hips undulating as pleasurable sensations rippled through her.

Dan watched her, growing bolder with his exploration. His eyes met hers, "Should I touch your other tit, too?"

Shiloh nodded, smirking over his choice of words. Her smirk quickly turned to a moan as Dan smoothed his fingers down the underside of her left breast then across to the right, his finger and thumb gliding around her hard nipple.

"Your skin is so soft, it feels wonderful," he murmured in awe. It was like caressing silk.

She pushed her breasts up into his palms, enjoying the feel of his hands on her, "Getting caressed feels very nice." She closed her eyes, reveling in the sensations of her breasts becoming very sensitive. Pleasure zinged through her as he placed both hands upon her swollen orbs, splaying his fingers, flicking them across her chest. Ripples threaded through her nerve endings, heightening her senses further. This sensual torment was almost too much to bear. She couldn't remember the last time a man focused so thoroughly on her breasts. A loud moan slipped from her lips. Dan's own moan joined hers, echoing in succinct harmony through the small space of the room. He nuzzled her, letting his hands slide to her shoulders as he covered her with his larger body.

Shiloh opened for him, spreading her legs as she giggled huskily. She was more than ready for this. She needed this, needed to feel him. He didn't keep her waiting, guiding his shaft into her wetness with one quick motion of his hips. Her channel squeezed his length as he filled her out.

Shiloh then wrapped her long legs around his hips, squeezing them as her pussy clenched his cock. Twin sighs escaped their barely touching lips followed closely by a soft cry from Shiloh as he filled perfectly the void within her. Moving closer, their lips met in a full-bodied kiss. Dan moved gently within her, working at a slow, easy pace. He didn't want to rush this.

Watching her as she lay under him, he moved his kisses down the line of her jaw, along her neck then to the hollow of her throat. She shivered with pleasure, moving her hands up underneath his hair to lightly stroke the back of his neck. Instantly, his breathing
increased, his heart began to beat faster. As Shiloh lightly ran her fingernails over his skin, he shuddered, quickening his thrusts, eliciting small cries of pleasure from her.

Arching his neck under her touch, he bent his head down to kiss her shoulder then her collarbone, feeling the bones as they stood out sharply beneath her skin, grazing them softly with his teeth, making her arch her back under him. He gasped as that forced her breasts to his chest, breasts to which he was becoming quite enamored. Twisting, he stopped moving then cupped one upwards in his hand, noting how voluptuous she was. His hand looked almost dwarfed by their size as it lay on her chest, gently squeezing the rounded flesh.

Shiloh rocked against him, noticing the pearls of sweat beading his forehead. Grunts escaped his lips harshly, telling her he was getting close. Shiloh gripped his length with her wet walls, clenching them tighter. Dan let out a load groan before he gripped her hips. Still holding her, he pulled her upwards then reached around, unwrapping her lovely legs from
around his waist, trailing his hands along them to her feet to plant them firmly on the bed on either side of him so she was holding her herself up. Leaning forward, he grabbed the headboard, balancing himself then pushed.

Shiloh's response was a long, drawn out, "Yes..." She shut her eyes, tilting her head back, lifting her hips higher then spreading her legs apart further. He pulled back then thrust in again. "Oh, mmmmmmmm," she purred, stretching her arms above her head. "More."

She moved in sync with him, feeling him spear her depths with his surprisingly controlled thrusts. Writhing, she closed her eyes, gasping, her walls twitching around him. "Mmmmhhh," she sighed softly.

Then she could think no more of what had been his repeated caressing of her wet walls, bringing back that odd, torturous tension inside her. It had been like a wire stretched past its tensile strength; then becoming a liquid, melting sensation. Deep in her belly, just above where he had touched her with each stroke, she was melting; swirling against the earthly bonds that constrained her.

Each gasping breath that was forced out of her lungs by his passion sent the temperature of her molten core soaring, sweat poured from her brow. Her whole body was shaking now, not just the straining muscles of her legs and hips, but her entire being quivered in anticipation of the moment she would melt completely.

Feeling it beginning, Shiloh braced then lifted herself as high as she could manage. "More!" she screamed, locking her sapphire eyes onto his cocoa ones. When that final barrier melted, the liquid inferno was released, she felt herself drawn upwards to those chocolate orbs, to his soul. His presence tempered her, kept her from being consumed totally, yet did not restrain her in any form or fashion. His calmness supported, surrounded, even encouraged her as she flew free, dancing like a flame amid the wind.

Bracing himself against the bed, Dan obeyed her just before he cried out then shuddered, his face flushed. Shiloh could feel his sex pulsing inside her, shooting his warm seed into her, as tremors shot through her core. He remained inside her, though she could feel him growing soft. He watched her while she inhaled a few deep breaths. Shiloh smiled up at him, breathing his name, though it came out as a shuddering gasp.

Pulling him close to her, she sought his lips, bestowing upon him a long kiss. His mouth moved over hers, mimicking her movements. He groaned as her tongue probed the cavern of his mouth, entwining with his tongue.

With a groan, he pulled away from her, watching her as she stretched like a cat. "Damn, I really needed that."

He chuckled, eyeing her sex curiously. Shiloh spread her legs invitingly, giving him an eyeful of the pussy he'd had his cock in. She winked, "You want some more, handsome?"

Dan smiled eagerly, "I... uhm... could I take a look at...? I've never actually seen, you know," he studied her pink folds which glistened with the fruit of their sensuous labors.

"Be my guest," she purred as she opened wider for him, watching as he knelt down in front of her, carefully placing his hands on her thighs.

Dan's gaze met hers, "May I touch you there?"

With a nod, she pressed his face to her abdomen, licking the subtle curve of her belly, nuzzling, wanting her scent everywhere; he parted her legs he drove his tongue up inside her, tasting her, inside and out. Then up slightly to that central point of all points hidden and protected until the advent of his vigorous tongue licking, then probing with fingers and lips as well. She begged him to stop then not to. Then she threatened him with death if he dared stop, fisting one hand in his hair, the other in hers, tugging as pressures built again, and infected the race of her blood. It entered her mind how odd that such a seemingly shy man had brought her to the brink of oblivion so quickly. She hadn't expected him to have such skill.

Then it happened; an implosion. Everything went white. His breathing, rapid and harsh was the first thing she heard. His eyes, burning bright, the first thing she saw. Shiloh's whole body felt worn out, the intensity in his eyes was suddenly too much for her to see. She looked away.

Dan noticed her reluctance, lowering his gaze. He looked away from her, "I think I should get going, but… uh... think I could see you again...?"

"You're not getting away so quickly, handsome. I'm only getting warmed up," Shiloh glanced back at him, cupping her fingers under his chin, bringing his warm eyes in direct view of hers. His smile warmed her as it beamed brightly.

"I feel I must tell you the truth about the academy first, though. There's a secret door in the back of the library. A friend of mine and I found it by accident. It leads up to the teachers' quarters. I was working in the library, so I had a key for it."

A smile crossed Shiloh's face, knowing she was finally getting somewhere, "Do you still have that key?"

Dan grinned, "Yes, I kept it in my robes in hopes that the Academy re-opens at some point. If it doesn't, I've considered moving elsewhere with some friends of mine. Getting the chance to be with you was beyond my wildest dreams. I never thought someone like you would let me touch you or do any of what we've done today."

"Dan, I'm flattered. A word of advice, though," Shiloh winked. "Don't sell yourself short. You are a very handsome man. Some lucky girl is going to scoop you up and love you for who you are. You have many admirable qualities."

He cleared his throat, beaming a smile at her, "We'd better go... We've only got this room for an hour, and time's almost up."

Shiloh shook her head, "Don't worry about the time. I spoke to the innkeeper before I came up; he said we could have all the time we wanted. I want more of you."

"Shiloh, I can't stay here very much longer," Dan stood up from the bed then pulled on his robe. "I do have something I want to ask you, though."

She cocked an eyebrow at him, stretching out slowly; hoping the sight of her naked form might tempt him to have her once more. "What do you wish to know, handsome?"

"I'd really like to see you again. Do you think that's possible?"

"Anything is possible, Dan. I'd like to see you again as well." She grinned, reaching out to touch him once more.

"Where do you live?" He shied away ever so slightly.

"2 Acorn Street, near the Bear Pit," she honestly replied, sensing she could trust him.

"I'll come by tomorrow to visit you," he promised before handing her clothing to her.

"I'd like that, Dan," Shiloh smiled, dressing in front of him. Once she'd pulled her boots back on, she stood up then wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly. "You made me feel good. I wish more men were like you."

Then she sealed their lips with a sweet kiss before flitting out the door, leaving him standing in the empty room. Shiloh had what she wanted.

O.O

Shiloh entered the Academy just before it closed. As she'd left the Inn, she ducked into a dark corner, casting Invisibility on herself. It had made getting into the Academy unnoticed very easy. She tiptoed across the grand entrance hall past two guards that looked bored to the door she'd picked open the last time she was there. To her surprise it was still unlocked. It became obvious to her if things didn't look out of place they weren't checked. Such a bad habit to get into, she mused.

After cracking the door wide enough to slip through, she breezed past the second set of guards, climbing the set of stairs they guarded. Once she'd reached the student quarters', Shiloh crept toward the library, unlocking the door with the key Dan had given her. Her thoughts turned to Dan for a few seconds, halting her where she stood. Though she would have liked to see him again, she knew it would be an impossible relationship. Nathan would seriously frown upon her bringing another outsider into the scope of The Family. Plus depending on what she discovered here at the Academy, as to Pia's whereabouts, it was very possible she wouldn't be around to receive Dan if he did indeed visit her.

A small sigh slipped from her lips. Best not dwell on it, she mentally scolded herself. She had to focus on the task at hand. She had a job to do. Finding Pia was all that mattered at the moment. Shiloh slipped through the crack the open door made, entering the library as quietly as she could. She spotted two demonic creatures with wings flying around the interior of the room. Her brow furrowed. She'd never seen such things in all her days; she decided it was best to avoid them. She sneaked past each, quietly planting her steps as not to make a sound. When she reached the rear of the library, she searched till she located the secret door Dan had told her about.

Manipulating it as skillfully and quietly as she could, Shiloh opened it then stepped through to a dark corridor. She closed the door behind her, making a mental note where to locate it again. Eerie silence met her as she made her way to the short stairwell. Only the sound of her beating heart, her soft footsteps, and her breathing could be heard. Places like this sent shivers down her spine.

Pia, where are you?

She wondered if the bard had traversed these stairs as well. Had she searched the teacher's level for whatever Alfons had wanted her to find or had some ill befallen the beautiful blonde before she could find it? Fear of the unknown lent speed to her feet. She hastened up the dark stairwell then headlong down an equally dark corridor. Two disguised doors caught her interest. She headed to the first one, manipulated the pressure plate then stepped inside a large feminine bedroom.
