Get Into Houa's Mind

Anna lit the candle and watched as the candle flickered back and forth, causing a glow across the wall. She stared at her shadow on the wall and sighed deeply. The day was slowly coming to an end and night was creeping upon her. She feared the night for she feared that he would make her forget her senses again. Never in her life had she ever thought she’d feel those senses. She had been wondering what being with a man would feel like and now as she pondered she wondered if the Baron would be able to make her feel as Jedidiah did.             The door opened and she heard him walk in. She turned to find him wearing nothing but a pair of black pants.

She got out of bed and slipped the gown on as she detangled the knots from her hair. She twisted her hair up and into a bun. She took the towel from the table and dipped it into the warm water. She wiped her face and had just sat down to eat when she felt the ship move violently forward. It jerked the tray of food and it slipped down onto the ground, crashing. She stood up, frightened as the door to her room opened and Maddy walked in.             “Maddy, what’s going on?” Anna asked.             Maddy’s face was pale and the older woman carried fear in her eyes. “Stay down!
