<T'grat>


T'grat felt Malachite drop back in his chase and knew that this time he
would not be the winner....


*Must be getting old Mal!* he sent by way of consolation.  He dropped to the
sand beside the other disappointed riders, and waited for Malachite to come
back for him.


*It was a good flight and I -would- have caught her again if Calindeth
hadn't been here.....*  Malachite sent with a tired sigh  


T'grat looked over to where Naomi and Darrkon lay twined around each other,
and felt a pang of envy, quickly pushed aside.


*C'mon Mal, *  T'grat walked to where the huge green and black dragon had
landed * Let's get back to the Warren.*


Malachite dipped his head to look at his rider, eyes of apology for the lost
flight.  T'grat patted him and then mounted.


*Home Mal.*  he said  *There's always next time...*  A clear picture of the
ledge outside their apartment and the pair winked out....

T'grat unsaddled Malachite and then walked through to his portion of the
apartment. Hearing women's voices coming from the main living room he
groaned inwardly!  He'd forgotten that Greta was here, and she obviously had
company.  The last thing he needed just at present was female company.....
not with the frustration of the unwon mating flight still coursing through
his blood.


He tried to sneak past the partially open door into the kitchen... intending
to grab the nearest bottle of alcohol and drink himself into oblivion... but
they saw him and he had no choice but to join them.  Shifting uncomfortably,
only too aware of the desire buried just beneath the surface, he tried to
excuse himself...


"I'm tired and not good company."  T'grat told them with a slight bow
"Please excuse me, I'll just get a change of clothing and leave you to it."


He walked quickly into the bedroom, intending only to change and leave, but
Greta followed him... and the sight of her soft mouth and inviting eyes was
too much for his self-control.  With a curse he pulled her close, and kissed
her hungrily, his hands roaming over her slender body as she writhed against
him.  


Pulling back for just a second, he asked huskily  "The children?"


"Meena took them." she answered, and moved closer again....
