She kisses him back, deeply, the metallic taste of his lips in her mouth, as he eagerly returns the favor. She can feel his body pressed against hers.

It's not often that she indulges this sort of thing, after all, she likes to have the appearance that she is "above all that" - that she is not like her lower subjects, but the truth of it is the evidence of the creature returning her favors.

She smiles at him, a rare thing, brushing a lock of dark hair behind his ear, caressing his golden skin.

She doesn't really love him, she is just trying to fill the empty void left with him missing. They both know that, and they know that he, so willing to give, and yet also so willing to take, is the perfect candidate for this.

They don't talk during their "sessions", both agreed that it's best not to do so.

It normally only lasts for a portion of the night, yet for some reason she is demanding tonight. And he is rather willing as long as she pays him a bit extra.

He still has that Impish grin on his face as he departs as the sky turns red, and he continues down the road.

She shakes her head sadly and turns away from her window.

Soon, as it is with all of his kind, his mind will begin to leave as he ages, and his ability to see the future will be overwhelming enough that they will probably not want to be together for long.

She opens her hand and looks at the golden amulet on her palm. She is almost as tricky as he is. If she could figure out how to get him into that amulet of his, she could wear him around her neck ... forever.

But then there would be no revenge.

"No, Golden Boy," she says to no one, "we can't have even that, can we?"
