The library was quiet this time of day. Roland placed another book he finished the night before back onto the shelf and scanned the titles for something interesting to occupy his mind. Class was in session and though Roland was one of the teachers he had no classes today, Abjuration wasn't everyone's favorite subject. He would love to go home and spend time with his wife but he made an agreement with the staff of his Wizard Collage. Three weeks on and one week off each month. It felt unbearable but he understood. He wouldn't be much of a head of the collage if he never spent time here. Roland sighed as he remembered last seeing his wife, Trudy, a week and a half ago promising to reward him for his effort and patience. The anticipation and curiosity kept him going as the weeks slowly crawled on.
With a new book selected Roland leaned up against the shelf and began to devour its contents. Only a few pages into the book and he was completely engrossed in its theories and assumptions. He became so engrossed that he didn't hear the main doors to the library open and close. Nor did he hear the high heeled steps approaching him from the side. It was only when he heard the throat clearing cough that he realized he was no longer alone. With some hesitation he pulled himself out of the book not wanting to retell details the final battle in the Black Room with another starry-eyed student. He looked up from the book and felt his breath catch in his throat as in front of him wasn't a student, it was his beautiful wife.
Trudy gave Roland a bright smile framed by her hair which cascaded down her shoulders drawing his eyes to the long forest green dress that hugged her body in the best ways. His eyes couldn't leave her hips or her chest until he heard Trudy's voice again, "I guess you like the dress then huh?" Roland snapped his attention back up to her blushing face and couldn't help but smile back.
"I especially like who is in the dress." He happily watched her face redden even more which made his heart skip a beat. "What are you doing here honey? I really don't think you are allowed this deep into the college, not that I'm complaining." Trudy softly chuckled and subconsciously stepped closer to him.
"Well I was really missing you, and the house is way too quiet without you in it."
Roland couldn't help but laugh, "I do think most of those noises come from you when we have the house to ourselves." Trudy let out an embarrassed laugh glancing around the library making sure that they were alone.
"True, but I don't think you were complaining about it." It became his turn to blush harder remembering the last day before coming back to the college was a blur of passion and messes to clean up much later.
"Also no one saw me come in. For a college of mages your security could use some improvements." Roland groaned knowing now that he was going to have to have meeting with the rest of the staff about the supposed 'high class security' that was put in place.
"Well, however you got in I can get you out before anyone sees you." Roland saw Trudy's pout and sighed, "I love that I got to see you but you know the rules. I really don't want a repeat of last year honey."
She sighed and nodded, "True, but there is one thing I want to do before I leave."
Roland thought for a moment looking into her suggestive eyes before coming to his own conclusion, "The black rose gardens? I know I showed them to you a few months ago but they have started to bloom." Trudy couldn't help but giggle as she shook her head. He tilted his head still trying to figure it out. "What is it then?" She reached up grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to put her lips level with his ear.
"You."
Roland's heart jumped in his chest as he felt her tongue lick him from ear to chin to lips giving him a hungry kiss. After a moment of him instinctively wrapping his arms around her and exploring her mouth he was barely able to pull himself away enough to catch his breath. "Right here?"
She silently nodded as her hands found the bottom of his tunic and forcefully lifted it over his head. He complied and took her chin in his hand tilting it up to him, "Gods, how I have missed you." Without another second of hesitation, he leaned down and kissed her fully on the mouth like a drowning man going for air.
