Hawk's words from last night had haunted me all day. I wanted to banish him from my mind completely. I hated that he consumed my thoughts.
Wouldn't he find that amusing.
It'd been a long day of training. Our Commander, the Warlord was a ruthless task master. Rarely impressed and often cruel in his comments, he left much of the actual mentoring to Hawk.
Who's disinclined to teach me anything but sheet play. I grunted to myself. Unlacing my mages robes as my gaze focused on the steaming metal tub before the fire.
I couldn't wait to sink in and ease my aching muscles.
Hawk was always harder on me than anyone. And every time he was close enough he whispered near my ear. "I'll be inside you soon, Mary Mage..."
I'd growl at him and misfire with my staff, misplace potions and lose my spell book. All of which was causing Warlord to lose patience with me.
"Deal with her!" Warlord had finally said.
Hawk had grinned as he marched over to
"Get off of me." I panted. "Get out.""Oh, Mary Mage." He grinned. "I'm about to get in."I realized what he meant the moment I felt his fingers wrapping the outside of my thighs to hook the insides, dragging my legs further open as his hips dug in. I felt something hard and heavy probing at my center.I shook my head adamantly."It's cute you think you get a say." He half sneered. "You can't even talk..." He brushed his lips along mine.I arced my back and surged up. Realizing my mistake when it forced him into me.He groaned and caught my hips guiding me onto him even as I lifted them."That was a mistake, Mary Mage." He croaked breathlessly.I yelped at the sudden, piercing pain. Feeling like all my insides were being pulled apart as he was planted inside me."I'd have taken you the first time, a bit easier than that." His hips were rolling though. And his hands had cupped mine, fingers gripping my buttocks as he held
"You're just going to have to learn, Mary Mage, that obeying me is far easier than not.""I'll never obey you." I grunted against the door."Won't you?" He pounded harder. Scraping my breasts against the rough wood. "You will..."I shook my head against the door."You will. Once you realize there's no escaping me. I can get in here." He thrust hard and flexed into me. His body shuddering as he came. "Anytime I want.""The Hell you will." I shouted. Praying that he wouldn't. I'd find a spell. A way to keep him out."I hope you don't think this is the last time it'll happen, Mary Mage. Because it's going to happen a lot."Over my dead body!***The next morning was archery practice.I hate archery. I'm no good at it."Everybody line up!" Hawk roared. Pacing the grass in-front of the mansion.We dutifully lined up under his careful watch. His hands were linked behind his back. Feet sho
There wasn't a chance I'd obey him.He can rot. But I was lying in my chamber. Nervous.See you in my bed. That's what he'd said to me.And what Hawk wanted, he often got.He can't have me."Mary Mage..." As if summoned by my thoughts, I heard his voice breathing into my room. "It's time you come to me.""Not a chance." I flipped onto my side and yanked the coverlet over my head. "Go away.""You made a vow.""No one said I was a woman of my word!" I defended impudently."You will be."***"I'm not coming to you, Hawk. Go away!""Remember, Mary Mage...I could take you right where you are. Ravish you as you lie.""No." I squeezed my thighs closed fearfully. Thinking of how he'd entered my chamber as a water dragon and taken me against my bedroom door as I'd tried to escape him."There's no escaping me..." His voice rumbled along the back of my neck as though he
"No..." I whispered. Catching the corner of the wall to try and stop my progress. Though my legs kept determinedly moving.Kerdan. I heard his voice saying the word again and immediately my mind was filled with visions of him leaned over me. Buried in my body and moaning in pleasure as he rode my flesh.Images of him kissing down my breasts and over my belly to lathe at my innermost core.I shook my head. Banishing the images of things I couldn't possibly imagine. Things I haven't experienced before. How could I be seeing them?Despite every bit of my will my fingers released the wall. Feeling my breasts aching and my nipples pebbling, my hands drifted up to cover my breasts. Pressing on them to relieve the strange ache which was rolling over my body in waves."What am I doing?""Coming to me. To sate my hunger.""Stop it! Get out of my head." I growled. Shaking my head so furiously that I saw the blonde waves of my
I was shocked at the sudden feeling of him filling me. Stretching my inner walls and rooting deeply into me. I stared at him stunned my blue eyes huge.His green ones seemed equally as shocked. His fingers gripping my hips tightly now as if to still me. “Are you okay?”“Would it matter?” I asked snidely.“Would I ask if it didn’t?” He tilted his head, sliding it over his down pillow to give me a penetrating look with those piercing green eyes.He’s despicable.“Fine. Have it your way.” He withdrew his hands. Hovering them out near my hips in a big gesture of ceasing restraining me. “Do as you wish.”He tucked his palms behind his head. “Have it your way, Mary Mage.”“My way would be not at all.”“Then perhaps you shouldn’t lose after you make a wager.”“As if that was my intent!” My palms
No. I thought. For once he won’t be in control.I caught his hands and tossed them off me. Giving him a dark look.His brows shot up. Clearly surprised and faintly displeased at my rejection. His lips parted and I could see him preparing to say that cursed word again.The one that made him my master and my loins yearn for him.Kerdan. I slammed a finger to his lips. Unwilling to let he and my body control this unwanted joining.If it’s happening it shall be my way. I slowed way down, set on frustrating him. Rolling my hips in rhythmic circled as I rose onto my knees above him. Until I was perched only on the crown of his erect member.Using the same motion, I swayed back down on him. Taking him back in.His eyelids fluttered and he moaned again once he was all the way back inside me once more.Claiming me.So, if he’s not all the way in, he doesn’t
I was indeed afraid of what Hawk would do to me as penance for my escape.But not enough to stop my mad flight back through the castle. My hands tracing the corners that I’d clung to when I’d gone to his chamber. Using them to find my way back.His fury had felt like enough to bring the bricks of this castle down around my ears.But even that wasn’t as terrifying as the realization that I’d been so relaxed in his presence that I’d nearly fallen asleep on his chest. And he’d welcomed me there like a familiar lover.Not like a less powerful mage he was controlling with his blasted magic.I’m not his toy. I was soon pacing my chamber. His threat ringing in my ears so vividly that I couldn’t sleep.‘I swear by all that’s holy Mary, if you do not finish me, I’ll take you on your knees like a dog tomorrow!’He wouldn’t.W
He was crouched to my level. Nearly nose to nose with me. “Now, summon a bird.”He reached out a hand.I didn’t want to take it.But his eyes narrowed threateningly.He’s going to make me.Better my terms than his. I slapped my hand in his and felt his large fingers fold around it. Seeming somehow final and ominous. Lightning currents poured through me from where he touched me.Glancing at his face I saw a bit of white light shudder across his green irises, turning them briefly white as we both stood. Him pulling me up.What was that?My immediate reaction was to cut the connection, but his grip was unrelenting. And when I tugged backward, he reflexively pulled me in.I was still straightening and was yanked off balance. He used the momentum to turn me, so I faced away from him.He stepped in so he was flush against my back and caught my wrist and lifted it.
