From Thunderlord Chapter 19
The bed was even colder than the air, for the fire’s heat
had not reached this far. Alayna slipped between the sheets, curled on her side,
shivering. The women continued with their teasing, but she was too cold to
care. If she said anything, her teeth would surely chatter, and they would
think she was afraid. Perhaps that was the point of being half-naked in a
chilly room – she’d be so glad of her husband’s strong body to warm the sheets
that she would not care what happened next.
“Do you want aphrosone,
my lady?” That was Jerana, speaking low so only the two of them could hear. “It
will make tonight more pleasurable, although you will not remember in the
morning.”
Alayna shook her head. She might be cold, but she was not
afraid. If she should conceive – and she prayed to the Four Gods and any others
that might be listening that she did – she wanted, oh yes, she wanted to
remember this first night together.
