Gaborn found Iome still mourning her father. The bodies had been cleaned
and laid out on fine blankets over beds of paving stones. The Earl of Dreis
lay near their feet, in a place of honor.
Upon seeing the dead, the wounds on Gaborn's heart felt all fresh and black women free naked jpeg new.
He went to Iome, sat beside her, and took her hand. She clenched his
