Begins in book 2 The Stone of Tears when Verna is taking Richard to the Palace of the Prophets and she is teaching him to touch his Han.

Richard is sitting near the fire he built with his legs crossed, and eyes closed desperately attempting to touch his Han. Sister Verna sits in a similar position her eyes also closed directly in front with her knees touching his. A scowl came to Richard's face as he opened his eyes after yet another hour of him not feeling anything of his Han. Verna's eyes opened a moment later as she studied Richard's face for a moment before saying, "Strange. After all this time I should at least be able to feel your Han, even if you can't".

Richard glares at her and responds "Well I guess you don't know what you are doing after all".

"No" Verna replies "It's not, that. There is something different about you and your gift, though I can't quite place my finger upon what it is".

"Isn't there something else we can try?" Richard asked "I wish to begin my training as soon as possible so that I can get this accursed collar off me soon. The sooner I do, the better for all of us".

Verna placed a comforting hand on Richard's shoulder as she gave him a sympathetic look in the eyes "Don't be in such a rush Richard. It takes most people months before they can feel their Han. At the Palace you will have plenty of time to learn to control your Han".

Richard shrugged off her hand and replied "But I don't have plenty of time Ver… Sister Verna. People are counting on me. Lives are at stake".

"I know it feels that way Richard, but in time you will see that things are not always as they seem" Verna lectured.

Richard sighs and says "Well isn't there something, anything we can do to try to hurry it along? I want to be back with my friends, with Kahlen even if she doesn't want me anymore…"

Verna tried to give Richard a reassuring smile "Richard, she still cares about you. She told you to come with me, so that you would live. She didn't want to see you die".

With a frown Richard shakes his head "I am not so certain Sister. Can we try again now though? I am doing everything you said, but maybe I am just not trying hard enough". He looks down to see Verna put her hand on his knee.

"Well…" Verna ponders, "Sometimes it's easier for a young wizard to first touch their Han if they are familiar with the Han of the Sister that is reaching out with her own Han. You must recognize my Han as I recognize yours". Verna looks down in embarrassment "This may be something you don't wish to do though".

"Why wouldn't I want to?" Richard asked as he cocked his head slightly to the side.

"Because to achieve that level of Han recognition a Sister and Wizard must be close… intimate even. The more intimate they are, the easier it is for the Wizard to touch his Han". Verna explained.

Richard blinked in confusion "I am not quite sure, what you're getting at Sister Verna. Intimate? What exactly do you mean by that?"

Verna blushes momentarily as she looks at Richard, before quickly leaning in and kissing his lips. After a few seconds Verna leans back so they are once again staring at each other.

Richard swallows as his eyes widen with the surprise of what just happened. Verna was panting a bit now as Richard said "Oh. That's what you meant by intimate".

Verna smiled coyly at Richard and nodded.

Richard looked at Verna in a whole new light. He had never thought of her before in any way other than the woman who had dragged him away from Kahlen. He had to admit though that the way the light from the fire danced on her face made Verna look beautiful.

She may be older than me Richard thought, But she is still quite attractive.

Verna looked away and started to get up as she said "I'm sorry Richard. I shouldn't have brought it up".

Richard quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back down to sit across from him. Verna looked at Richard in confusion, as his hand came out and brushed a strand of her curly brown hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, behind her ear. He then cupped her cheek and said "I am willing to give it a try if you are Sister Verna".

Verna blinked and said "Are you certain Richard? I know you love Kahlen and this is…" Richard silenced her by pressing his lips up against her in a passionate kiss.

Verna moaned as she put her arms around Richard's neck and pulled him tighter against her. She opened up her mouth a bit to allow Richard entry, which he took. As Richard's and Verna's tongue danced around each other Verna moved forward knocking Richard on his back, so she was now lying on top of him. Their lips mashed against each other and Richard explored the inside of Verna's mouth. They continued to make out for a few more minutes this way before Verna stopped and sat up on Richard's lap, as he moved into a sitting position.

Verna grinned at Richard and in a sultry voice replied to his questioning look, "I wanted to get these out of the way". She quickly pulled Richard's shirt up over his head. Then she held herself up a bit as she began pulling off his pants.

Seeing what she was doing Richard smiled and pulled his own pants off. Once that was completed he and Verna tried to pull off Verna's dress. In their excitement though Richard and Verna were unable to get the dress over her head. Growling in frustration Richard ripped Verna's dress open.

With a giggle Verna said "You're lucky I have more dresses, otherwise I'd have to punish you for being a bad little boy".

Richard gave her a naughty grin and replied "Well if that was your only dress maybe it wouldn't have been such a bad thing".

Verna giggled again and pushing him back down she began to kiss him passionately again as Richard threw aside the remains of her dress. Their bodies pressed together as they rolled around deeply kissing each other. When they finally came to a stop Verna was once again on top. They stopped their kissing and Verna sat up on him. They stared into each other's eyes as Richard reached up around Verna's back and unstrapped her bra. As the bra fell away Richard gasped as he beheld her glorious breasts. Verna may be older than any of the other girls Richard had ever been with, but her luscious breasts were still exquisite.

Verna smiled at Richard's reaction and whispered "Take off my panties Richard. I want to see you take them off".

Richard rolled her over so he was on top and with Verna's legs still wrapped around his waist he kissed her lips again quickly. Then planting a series of kisses down her body, with several of the kisses on each of her breasts. When he finally reached her navel he began slowly pulling down her panties, kissing each inch of skin he exposed.

When her panties were completely off, Verna rolled them over once again so she was on top. She then proceeded to pull off Richard's underwear kissing his body in return. As soon as his underwear was off Richard looked Verna in the eyes and said "So you really think this will help me touch my Han?"

Verna shrugged her shoulders "Does it really matter now?"

"No, it doesn't. Not now. I just want you Sister Verna"

"Then take me Richard. Take me now".

Richard leans forward moving Verna off his lap, and then pushes her down so she is now lying down on her back. He looks longingly into her eyes and slowly he enters her, pushing his penis into her.

"Ohhhh…." Verna moans "That's so good Richard. Keep going".

Richard grunts as he begins moving in and out of her.

"Faster Richard, I need you to do me faster and harder". Verna whimpered.

Richard grins down at her as he begins to pick up his pace "You're the teacher Sister Verna".

Verna moans again in pleasure "I think we are close enough now that you can just call me Verna, Richard. You don't need to call me Sister".

"I know" Richard replied as he thrusted into her. "But it's just so hot calling you Sister Verna now".

Verna giggled again and then moaned as Richard's thrusts came quicker and harder.

"Mmmm… Richard. Harder! Do me harder!"

Richard's breathing quickened as he pumped harder.

"Oh Creator yes! I'm almost there! Don't stop!"

They both suddenly jerked as they came together. Richard spurting in Verna, while she screamed his name "RICHARD!"

They both panted as Richard laid down on top of Verna, still remaining inside of her.

After a few minutes Verna asks "Do you feel closer to me now, Richard?"

Richard smiles at her and begins playing with her right nipple "Yes, and I think I am ready to feel closer to you again right now".

Verna giggles and thinks to herself I knew I would love a young man

She then roles over so she is on top of Richard, never having his penis slip from her pussy.

Richard begins massaging both of her breasts with his hands and Verna moans.

She begins bouncing up and down on him, starting off slowly and quickly increasing her pace.

Richard grunts and starts squeezing her breasts harder, as the speed of Verna's bounced increase.

"Oh Richard, your penis feels amazing!"

Richard moves his hands down to grip her ass as he begins pumping up to meet Verna's thrusts "You feel incredible to Sister Verna!"

He tightens his grip on her ass as they both thrust their hips at each other. The air full of the sounds of their grunts and moans. Verna grabs Richard's head and pulling him up, she kisses him deeply again while slowing her bouncing a little. The two explore each other's mouth with their tongues as their arms are wrapped around each other. After a few minutes of this Richard lowers his head and begins to lick her breasts. Verna screams in pleasure at Richard's attention to her breasts. Richard then focuses his attention on her nipples licking first one and then the other as he thrusts up even faster to Verna's bouncing.

Verna's panting quickens "Oh Richard, I am so close".

Richard immediately stops his thrusting and says "Not yet Sister Verna. I want to finish you from behind".

Verna smiles at him and twists around, making sure his penis never leaves her pussy. Then moving together they lean forward until Verna is on her knees and hands, while Richard on his knees begins thrusting into her again while grasping her hips.

"Sister Verna I love the way your pussy feels wrapped around me".

"Oh Richard we are going to have a far more interesting trip to the palace now".

Verna's curly hair flies around as each time their hips slap together.

Richard leans forward and begins kissing Verna's back moving up her spine as he slows his thrusting a bit. When he reaches her neck, Verna twists her head to the side and the two kiss again. Richard licks Verna's lips as their passionate kiss ends. Moving back to his former position Richard's thrusts become quicker and harder as he and Verna moan even louder. Finally with a great thrust Richard cums inside Verna yet again, followed a moment later by Verna's own release. As the two collapse on their side, they spoon on the ground facing the camp fire. After a few minutes where both manage to catch their breath, Richard asks "Sister Verna? What will happen to us, when we get to the Palace of the Prophets?"

Verna grins back over her shoulder at Richard "At the Palace they encourage this sort of behavior for the wizards there".

"You mean we can continue this there?"

"We better. I am not finished with you yet. We have plenty of time to… let our Han's recognize each other more"

Richard grins and kisses the back of her neck "Good"

And their journey still had a ways to go before they reached the Palace of the Prophets.

More chapters to follow. I plan on doing at least a chapter or 2 for each book. Please review so I can improve.

Here is a list of the books and couples. I may do several chapters for each couple. And the list may change. Also I have not finished the series yet, I am only on book 7. So characters introduced after that will not be on the list until I finish those later books. I plan on having Richard as the main focus of the chapters so he will be in all the couples. Sorry to those who are fans of other couples. Also just cause I don't mention a couple in each book, doesn't mean I won't use them. For instance most books from Blood of the Fold on will have some Richard/Cara.
