Emalla smiled up at Leaton, her arms wrapped around his waist, her
head tilted back to study his face, "I'm so glad you're back from your
trip. Was everything successful?" She asked, one eyebrow arched above
her dark green eyes. Emalla was probably one of the few people that
knew Leaton's true intentions at Green Valley Minor Hold, most
importantly, she knew about his lucrative smuggling. Since Emalla was
considered to be one of the "ladies" around the hold she was able to
hear things that most people didn't, which worked out perfectly for
Leaton.

"Everything went fine my dear." Leaton gave her a kiss and let his
hands wander briefly. "I managed to finagle a bit more in the way of
marks than originally thought."

"I knew you would." Emalla said proudly, her dark lashes fluttering
over her eyes, "Your sister has been cozying up to the Holder while
you've been away." She reported, her lips twisting into a bit of a
smirk.

"Really?" Leaton arched an eyebrow, but there was a smile upon his
lips. "I was hoping that would happen." Reven had seemed like the
sort who would be intrigued by his sister, despite her brokenness.
"Feel free to start slipping some thoughts into people's minds here
and there."

Emalla frowned prettily, her brows bunched in confusion, "But how
would that help us?"

"Oh you are a simpleton aren't you." A sneer curled over Leaton's lips and he let a finger trace down the side of her face before he wrapped his fingers at her throat and forced her chin up. "If there are enough rumours and both Relea's and Reven's reputations are at stake, the man will have to do the honourable thing and marry her. And that, my dear, makes things all the more profitable for us."

The woman's face cleared into a sinister smile, showing off her dimples, as she raised up and kissed Leaton on the cheek, "Oh, you are so bad Leaton. That is perfect! I will make sure the rumors get placed into all of the right ears around the Hold."

"Good. But first thing is first." Leaton grabbed Emalla roughly and unceremoniously tossed her over his shoulder before he turned to head into the bedroom.
