that would’ve made her throw her head back with wicked laughter had she not been so deeply caught up in passion.

The large hand between her thighs began  to bunch and gather the fabric of herdress, closing it into a strong fist. Gathering, gathering, slowly pulling her formal skirting higher and higher, revealing  first calf, then knee,  then thigh.

Her desire rose higher, too, with each inch  the silk  climbed, with each bit of herbody his hands revealed to both their eyes.

He’d stopped kissing her neck now, both of  their gazes  locked on the viewing glass.  His other hand twined  around her waist, making  her feel all the more captive within his

well-muscled arms, and he used his hand to pull back what remained of the sea green  skirting until her pussy was on display.

“Oh,” she murmured. She’d looked at that part of herself in the viewing glass in her  chamber at home, but the vision before  her now was the most erotic she’d ever  witnessed. And she was at the very center of it. “Touch me,” she pleaded.

Ralen let out a small growl as his fingers sank into  her wetness, making her cry out.

“Shhh,  quiet,” he cautioned, reminding  her for the first time that they  were still in the fortress and that someone could come upon  them at any time. Dear Ares, talk about  risk!

But his fingers stroking so deep into  her pussy produced the most wonderful sensation she’d ever felt, so rather than think about risk, she chose to concentrate on

pleasure.

She watched in the glass as he fondled her with fingers clearly experienced at the  task, and soon she found herself moving, gently thrusting to meet his hot touches.  “Yes,” she whispered. “So good.”

His eyes, next to hers, glazed with pleasure as he witnessed her response. “That’s  right, little vixen, fuck my fingers.”

Fuck. Another word from Bella. It meant the  sex act, but she thought it must mean

more than just the cock and  pussy coming together given his usage just now. It spurred  her to move  more energetically against his  hand, to  soak up the delights he delivered  more enthusiastically.

“Mmm, yes, good,” he said. “Just like that. Just like that.”

Teesia began to feel lost in his  incredible  caresses, her limbs going weak, every part  of her feeling heavy, hot—her whole body  tingling with  a maddening intensity.

“Keep going,” he urged, and she realized  her instinctive thrusts heightened the joy  not only from his fingers, moving in rhythmic circles over her wet flesh, but also  brought her into firmer contact with the  powerful erection at her back. She found  herself grinding her bottom against it just as  feverishly as she ground her pussy against  his hand.

His breath had gone heavy, too, by  the time she realized something was happening, growing inside her, the heat getting hotter and hotter, like the flames that turned from orange to blue in the ovens at home.

“Oh Ares,” she moaned, reaching up to brace herself, flattening her palms against the viewing glass. She didn’t plan it, simply  did it, understanding instinctively that sheneeded the leverage to lunge more powerfully  against his fingers. “Yes. Oh yes.”

And then— Oh, oh, oh! It thundered through her like a hundred horses racing overthe land. Sweet, hot echoes vibrating like enormous heartbeats through her entire body.  Total pleasure. An amazing transport to someplace entirely new. Nothing else existed.

Nothing else…until it faded and she opened  her eyes to find her dark man of mystery studying her in the glass. “Lovely,” he murmured, clearly pleased by her reaction to the startling sensations—but he didn’t seem nearly as surprised  by it as she did.

“Fuck me.” The words shot out of her without forethought, a request Bella had told

her filled a man with great desire. sex, and I still don’t know how it feels, and IFuck me, because whatever just  happened to me, it wasn’t want tha

t  wonderful  hardness in your pants, I want

to know it better.

They were up close to the viewing glass now, since she’d leaned forward against it, and his eyes felt ominously near. She drank  in his musky scent as his heated gazedevoured hers.

“Goodnight, my little vixen,” he whispered,  a hint of a smile playing about his lips.

And quick as that, he kissed her on the  cheek and disappeared into the darkness  from which he’d come.

Chapter One

3589 AD

Teesia stood before her father’s throne,  peering up at him and her mother, who sat at his side. She couldn’t help beaming. She  had finally reached royal bride’s age and had been summoned to the  great  hall of her  father’s fortress to learn the identity of her husband-to-be.

Everyone who lived and worked  in the fortress at Myrtell had gathered to hear the news, as well, but Teesia thought only of  her parents—her strong father, whom she knew instinctively had chosen for her an  equally strong and powerful man, and  herraven-haired mother, still a beauty and much  beloved by her husband many years intotheir marriage. Jalal was the wisest, most influential woman in all of  Caralon and Teesia

not only admired her mother greatly, but she also admired her mother’s  sway  over her  father. All Teesia’s life, people had said  she favored Jalal, both in looks and temperament, and she’d never been prouder to  be her mother’s daughter than she was today.

“Daughter Teesia,” her father Enrick began  in his deep, authoritative voice, “you have reached the age to be given in marriage, and the man I have chosen for you is  Ralen of Charelton.”

Pure joy flooded Teesia’s body from head to toe. She’d  known  it would be Ralen—she’d just  known  it! And whereas Maven had at first  resented being awarded in trade forborder protection, Teesia had no such concerns. It was the way of their world, and shewas only thankful that her fervent prayers to Ares these past two years had been answered—she was to be wed to her dark  warrior from the corridor, a man whom she knew, both from experience and
