Excerpt: A magical fairy princess

It was pure magic riding in the forest. The silvery light filtered through the green foliage like sparkling beams of life-giving rays. Jade rode her white mare and watching her was like beholding a fairy princess transported into the realm of men by some strange twist of fortune. The wind seemed to caress her dark curls and her emerald green dress and colorful scarf seemed as if they were made out of light as the movements of her horse made her bounce gently up and down.

I rode alongside her on a great black stallion and as we went deeper into the forest our merriness and gaiety gradually took on a flirtatious edge. I had always had a weak spot for Jade, but she had become Sadron's spouse and I respected that. But on this day something was different.

We came to a small forest lake and decided to take a swim. Part of me knew I was treading dangerous ground here, but another part of me didn't care.

Irresistibly we were drawn to one another like two magnets. Helplessly in the grip of forces we did not understand we made love on the soft grass by the lake. Being with Jade and surrendering to her in ecstatic union held a magic unlike anything I had ever experienced. I was helplessly lost and my loyalty towards my brother was torn asunder by the irresistible call of love.
