👏👏👏👏👏

I'm still mentally howling with that chaotic pirate crew of #RunningCloseToTheWind
while tenderly heaping lots of love over our caring Arasht power couple in #ATasteOfGoldAndIron ♡

... I'd hate for them to clash but it would be 💥

Final Chapter 16 of #ATasteOfGoldAndIron

THE most SATISFYING, urgent consummation which extended FAR into the future while only lasting a moment.

My heart has always been safe with Kadou and Evemer in #ATasteOfGoldAndIron 💗

Brilliant narration by Casey Jones who vividly brought to life Alexandra Rowland's sweeping Sultan Empire of Arasht

Chapter 15 of #ATasteOfGoldAndIron

Yearning and wanting and touching yet always holding back.

Exquisite introspection in #ATasteOfGoldAndIron -
We even get a therapy session in.

I'm completely enraptured with this tale of devotion. 💞

It's also quite the juxtaposition to #RunningCloseToTheWind, being its antithesis and adversary 💫

Chapter 13 of #ATasteOfGoldAndIron audiobook

I'm beginning to wonder HOW I will ever survive the ACTUAL consummation in #ATasteOfGoldAndIron... ❤️‍🔥

Taste and Touch really ARE the theme

Chapter 12 of #ATasteOfGoldAndIron audiobook

#ATasteOfGoldAndIron Ch.
12

'My LORD' - it's gotten knee-wobbling INTENSE in here... 👀

In this pitch dark wine cellar. With SO much hanging in the air. 💋

Atta boi, Evemer!
Give those unvoiced avalanches of emotions a way out. 🔥
Towards your North Star. 🌟

Well well well

How far we've come and yet back at the same, secluded spot... 😏

Revelations later and we're JUST gripping onto something tangible in the dark... 💋

#ATasteOfGoldAndIron is meticulously zooming in on every inner stray thought that slips from our grasp.

Mission be damned.

Chapter 7 of #ATasteOfGoldAndIron audiobook

Oh gosh 😍
#ATasteOfGoldAndIron is sweeping me off my feet with sensual bathing scenes while being MILES and AGES away from any action. 💗

It's a magnificent slow burn!

Very much gentler and more introspective than our pirates, but, oh, such glorious, GLORIOUS anticipation!!
💋💋💋

'It's about trust.
That's why Arasht has never ever debased. Not ever. (...)
Because everybody knows, TRUST is really the only thing you have (in trade).
Trust - is SACRED.'

... When even fictional, failing Princes know more about world economy than real world leaders do...
