stopped.
"If you do not stop, I will be forced
to harm you. Do not let that happen, Liushan."
She knew that voice though it took on a
dangerous tone. Hope flooded through her and tears she had been keeping
threatened to spill.
"If you proceed with this, it is
tantamount to harming the princess and it will shatter the truce. I will not
let it be said that the truce was broken because of elfin idiocy."
In an instant, his hands let her go and so
did the tightness of her throat as she dropped to the ground, shaking. Nothing
had ever frightened her as much as what she had just gone through. Her senses
closed in about her as if compensating for her helplessness earlier. He was so
close and she could not do anything to protect herself. The tears were there,
but she just could not show them to the man who sought to defile her.
"…thi? Alethi?"
Her eyes saw him, but it was not after a
little while that she recognized him.
"Are you well? Did he…did he touch
you?"
Alethi could hear the anger in his soft
tones. His eyes shifting from worry to outrage, flitting like a hummingbird.
"You came just in time." She could
not get the quiver out from her voice. "Thank you."
His thumb brushed her cheek and it was only
then she noticed that she was crying. Something about his tenderness let out
all the fear, anger and anxiety that she walled in. The torrent of emotions
denied her the ability to speak. But words were insignificant as her tears
spoke her emotions and comfort came in the warmth of Arun's embrace.
Chapter Seven
"Prince Arun!"
Arun blinked and looked at the female above
him. Her beautiful brows kit in frustration and her jaw was set in
determination.
"My lord, you are not responding."
Arun looked at her perfect skin, every curve
made to perfection. His eyes looked past her naked form and then at himself.
She was right. He was limp and there was absolutely no feelings of arousal in
him. He looked up at the face of the female elf and sighed. "I am just…not
in the mood."
"Not in the mood?" she demanded.
"How can you not be in the mood? It is your mating year. I would
understand if it is any other year, but you should be at your peak now. A whole
season, you have not acted on your lust because of your role. I have heard you
complain about it. Now that you have the chance, you are not in the mood?"
He knew she was right. Ever since his year
started, he was not able to do his duty and impregnate anyone. He had often
been stiff doing his work and by the time he was done, he was so tired. Now
that the opportunity presented itself in the form of a perfect nubile body, he
could not even get aroused!
She was beautiful and compared to Alethi,
the elf would definitely eclipse her. But those eyes that were staring back at
him were dead. There was no fire, though her eyes were of the color of
sapphire. Alethi's hazel ones held a conflagration enough to inspire something
in him in and more.
"Now we're getting somewhere."
Arun looked at the grinning she-elf as she
traced her hands all over his body. Despite her noted skills, the act did not
do anything more. It was his thoughts of Alethi that roused him. Damn the woman!
What had she done to him? He only thought about her eyes and it made him throb.
The gods knew how he would react thinking about other parts of her body.
Sighing, he pushed her hands away and stood
to dress.
"My lord?" her voice was filled
with horror though he did not see her face. "Have I not pleased? Have I
done something wrong?"
Arun faced her and shook his head. "You
have done well. I am the one with the problem. Forgive me, I have to
leave." And leave he did without waiting to see her reaction.
That Alethi was the only one he was reacting
to was bad news enough, but to receive the news about Dosalam was even worse.
The problems were making his head ache, fraying his mind. He wanted to lie down
and relax. And unfortunately, his imagination took him into Alethi's arms.
