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.
Oh, no. My head shot up.His purposeful look immediately putting me on edge.He strode across the Training Garden and caught my arm. Before calling over his shoulder. “Markus!”Markus, nicknamed Magus by Hawk, was the most promising of the senior mages. An auburn haired, green eyed mage in training. One we all knew Hawk shared all his spells with. Hawk favored him enough to nickname him a mage’s title.I wonder if he gifted him what a mage could do with a woman’s lock of hair? I grimaced. Remembering that word he’d said so many times.Kerdan.Markus immediately stepped forward and started lining the other mages up with the arrow stands.Oh, no… My worst subject. I was frowning over my shoulder as Hawk drug me away on stilted legs.“Don’t worry about it.” He said harshly over to me. “You won’t be rejoining them until after I&rs
“But not this morning, Mary Mage. This morning I’m going to do to you exactly what I said I would.”I blinked at him anxiously.He slid his arm down the wall next to me and slid his hand beneath my gray mage’s robe and swept one side off my shoulder. Letting it fall to the ground behind me. He reached across to the other side and did the same. His hand brushing my breast on the way by.Making me hiss an indrawn breath as my nipple hardened at even that meager touch.His gaze fell to that taut bit of flesh and he flicked a thumb over it as he made an appreciative sound. “Take your clothes off, Mary.”I made a whimpering sound as I tipped my head back in defeat. Straightening my arms to let the robe fall over the bush next to me.“Now the dress.”“Hawk…” I tried pleading one more time. “What would make you let me go?”“An icy day in Hell, Mary.&r
He let the tip of him put pressure against my entrance. Letting me feel him.I know what’s coming now. I closed my eyes and prepared myself as much as I could. Still, I was nowhere near ready when he abruptly entered me. Burying deep into me. Making my hips feel as though they needed to part to allow him to probe my depths.My mouth opened and my head reflexively tossed up as I struggled against the urge to scream at the sensation of him filling me. But I knew Warlord was close by and knew that everything I seemed to do was wrong and everything Hawk did was right.And I remembered him telling Hawk to “fix me.”“I doubt when he told you to ‘fix me’ he was telling you to mount me.” I hissed.Hawk caught the ends of my blonde hair along my lower back and rolled them around his fist. Then reached forward to scoop one breast before letting his chest drop against my back so his heat surrounded me entirel
