Prince Hayden could feel an awkward silence as they rode. He
glanced down at the arms which gripped his waist and knew that it was not a
woman who held him fast. Lady Persephone was not human at all. He remembered
those slanted green eyes and how they seemed to study him. As if I were some curious animal…
His breath quickened. She
observed me, like a hunter does its quarry. He chagrined, realizing that he
would have preferred one of the little ones. Lady Persephone was beautiful,
bewitchingly so. But she invoked a terror within that he could not quell. He
was overwhelmed, and did not like it.
The youth scowled. I
am Prince Hayden, future king of Androtopia. No one humbles me. But she had. That, he could not deny. And
she had done it without effort. The elf compelled him to do her bidding. Then, why not cause us to leave? How can she
be so convincing, and yet, so accepting?
But he knew the answer: she was protecting the little ones.
He smirked. Lady Persephone gave herself
up for them. And now, she is in my power. She does not refuse me. He
grinned, This elf is mine.
He could feel her behind him. Save for his cloak, she was
naked. Desire crept into the youth’s heart, and began to pulse with it. Lust
filled his eyes and darkened his countenance. She is mine.
