She was only free for a second or two before he caught her around the waist and lifted her off the ground. She kicked and thrashed in his arms. He let her exert herself for a moment, and then he tightened his arm around her.

“If you want to play rough, human, I’m happy to oblige. I usually like my women staring into my eyes when I take them, but I’m willing to make an exception in your case.” The arm around her waist had tightened to such a degree that Aislin was becoming lightheaded.

His words chilled her. She forced herself to relax against him. She had precious little chance of escaping him, but she would have no chance at all if she were unconscious.

Duff, breathing hard from excitement and his efforts to subdue her, carried her the rest of the way to the fire. “I can’t wait to feel you beneath me. I like a woman who fights...” he murmured in her ear. “...but I think the moment I’m going to enjoy the most is the one where I cut into your pretty little throat with my knife.”

She shivered with revulsion. Her mind screamed for Tristan, but she knew it was beyond hope. He would have no way of knowing Duff had taken her from the cell. He wouldn’t find her until it was too late.

As the reality of her impending death began to penetrate her muddled mind, she found herself wishing she had talked to Tristan. She could have remained calm and asked him what he’d been thinking when he let Roderic go without her. Instead, she’d thrown the mother of all tantrums and shut him out. There would be no second chance for her.

Duff carried her into the clearing and dumped her on her feet. She was horrified to see that he’d driven four wooden stakes into the ground near the fire. Each stake had a length of rough rope tied around it, an extra three feet or so coiled into the grass. He’d spread blankets on the ground within the four corners of the rectangle.
