Madame Swan
(Swords with Souls)
Cover by Darren Joy
Dark Fantasy Fiction
(Adult content)
For how many years had she been doing this? She believes she is in her late forties. Perhaps ten years younger than the old king whose calendar years she based her own age on. Royal birthdays are the only ones that are publicly observed. People often gloat that their birthday is the same day as a particular nobles’, or that they were born so many days before or after.
She knows from the familiar stares of the patrons that she’s still attractive. Her voice is a little deeper, and her face, with only a few wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, can still enchant. Not bad considering her lifetime of experiences so far. Her bosom, always looking as if it’s about to fall out of her dress, either draws jealousy or lust. The jewellery she wears around her neck is strategically placed to draw the eyes to the mysterious of what her dress does cover. The slit up the right side of the dresses she often wears isn’t just for easier movement. And the scented oils she buys from Celima, the Perfumery, are just the right strength to draw people closer. She loves wearing earrings that highlight her sparkling sky-blue eyes. Someday, she might have to just manage, but not while she can get aroused and use decades of years of experience to arouse. Though she has to admit to herself, nowadays it’s less about personal satisfaction, and more about teasing out another’s pleasure.
