was not, and she just didnāt understand. Didnāt understandāand had
ruinedā¦everything.
He looked up into the blue, blue eyes heād fallen in love with and said, āI hate you.ā
Teesia couldnāt have been more stunned. āWhat?ā
āI hate you for this,ā he said, his voice dry, wooden.
Oh Ares. Oh no. What had she done? She covered her mouth with her hand.
Sheād only been trying to deepen their mutual pleasure, and even when heād resisted, sheād been sure that by the time it was done heād know the pure delights she experienced in the same position. Sheād been sureābut now she knew sheād been
wrong.
Perhaps the anguish in his eyes during the sex should have told her. But had shenot suffered anguish at the start, too?
Still, only now did she grasp the truthāthe truth that suddenly seemed so plain and clear to see. Ralen was not a man who ever wanted to submit, only to master. Shaena had told her that. As had Ralen himself. Why hadnāt she listened?
Her heart sank in her chest. She didnāt know what to do. She couldnāt believe sheād just recklessly taken what had so carefully and tentatively grown between them anddashed it against the rocks like a ship at sea. āOh Ralen,ā she said sadly, at a loss, kneeling next to him.
He yanked against the silk scarves again, wildly, and the look on his face told herall was truly lost. He truly hated her. And there was no fixing it.
When he got loose from the ties, he would probably rip her limb from limb.
āUntie me, you heartless whore!ā

Master of Desire
She shrank back under the ferocity of his words, truly frightened of himāin a way sheād never been before, even on their wedding night.
She knew instinctively that heād never forgive herāthat their happiness was a thing of the past.
At a loss for what to do, she leapt from the bed, grabbed up the clothes sheād discarded, and fled the room without looking back.

Chapter Ten
There seemed to Teesia only one answer, and that was to run.
She loved Ralen now, loved him desperately, and was crushed by what had justhappened, but it was her own fault, and irreparable. Why, oh why, was I so stupid? Why did I think I knew him so well, better than he knew himself? Well, that didnāt matter now, all that mattered was getting away from the fortress before Ralen got free. She truly believed he might rip her to shreds in his angerāand she almost couldnāt blame him.
Racing across the cool grass toward the stables, unnoticedāshe hopedāby the night watchmen, she thanked Ares for the nearly full moon that lit her way. It was easyto find Vixen in the corral and lure her with a handful of clover. A moment later, Teesiahad bridled the sorrel and led the horse to the mounting block, where she climbedastride her.
As her cunt stretched over the horseās back, still sensitive from sex, she was forced to remember her husbandāboth the horrible scene that sheād just brought about as wellas all the wonder, all the passion and joy sheād experienced in his arms. āOh Ralen,ā shesobbed quietly.
But this is no time for tears. You must be strong if you are to make your way home to Myrtell.
It should be simple, she thought. Follow the beachāand in a day or two she wouldbe home. Maybe even sooner, for she planned to press Vixen into a gallop for as long as the horse was able, figuring the farther away she got from Charelton before the sun rose, the better.
And yes, Ralen would likely come for her at her fatherās fortress, and she wasnāt sure what would happen then, but at least this was a temporary reprieve. If her father wouldnāt protect her, perhaps sheād head farther north and inland to her sisterās home in Rawley. Maybe Maven and Dane would hide her there until Ralen tired of searchingfor his āheartless whoreā of a wife.
The words still burned, and the memory of the look in his eyes tormented her, but itwas too late now. As Vixen neared the dunes that would give way to the sandy coastline, Teesia looked over her shoulder at the fortress in the distance from which sheād just fled. āGoodbye, my dear Ralen,ā she said softly. āI love you, and Iām so sorry I hurt you.ā

āLaene! Shaena! Someone get into this chamberānow!ā

He couldnāt believe it! First sheād emasculated himānow the little hoyden had left
him trussed up like a deer brought home from the hunt.
ā Shaena! Are you out there?ā The walls were too thick, he knewāhe simply had to hope someone would pass by the door and hear him bellowing.
Reduced to crying out for help like a child, he thought bitterly. And then he shook his head against the bed, still trying to fathom why Teesia had done this to him.
But perhaps it was simpleāshe was paying him back, reminding him how badly heād treated her in the beginning. She was punishing someone who truly deserved to be punished, he supposed. As for the pleasant times theyād shared more recently, he could only presume it was all pretense on her partāher way of building his trust so that she could enact her grand scheme to humiliate him.
āLaene! Shaena! Anyone! Is anyone in this entire fortress awake?ā
Just then, the door opened and Shaena burst ināhorror reshaping her face when she saw him.
āDonāt just stand there. Untie me!ā he barked.
āWhere is Teesia?ā she asked, moving to the top corner of the bed to work at the
silk scarf.
āGone. But when I find herā¦ā he began through clenched teeth.
āWhen you find her, what?ā
He shook his head, still so deeply entrenched in his anger that he didnāt care who might be right or wrongāhe only knew he wanted to do her harm, wanted to make her pay now. āI donāt know what Iāll do to the evil girl,
