Chapter Five

The water removed every last ache and pain, soothing Betsy’s muscles and providing a much-needed sense of relaxation. She sighed and let her mind drift as she sank lower in the hot spring. Five days had passed since the night she’d tried to hide from Edek. Her bottom tingled at the memory of his firm hand spanking her, and a warmth that rivaled the temperature of the spring flushed her center.

He’d caused her pain, yet he’d been so gentle, so caring. She’d felt their minds and hearts connect that night as he’d spooned her in his grand bed, pulling her close yet not pressing his erect cock inside her. She’d felt his hardness pushing against her bottom until she’d drifted to sleep, but he’d restrained himself. Now she found herself imaging what it would have been like had he not exercised restraint. Desire tightened her nipples and her pulse increased.

An unspoken intimacy was growing between them with each passing day. She spent more time thinking about Edek than she did thinking about Earth, and this realization startled her. She gazed at the specks of light glowing on the walls and ceiling of the basement, made to mimic the stars. Steam drifted up from the water, hitting her face and prompting the last of her tension to dissipate. It wasn’t so bad here on the mountain of this alien world, though she wasn’t prepared to admit this truth out loud. Her duties didn’t extend much beyond helping serve meals and overseeing Lanzo’s physical therapy, leaving her with plenty of free time to roam the hills and take long, luxurious soaks in the hot spring. And to her surprise, she wasn’t lonely on this alien planet.

She’d spent her whole life surrounded by people, but she’d always felt desperately alone. Aside from Layla, she hadn’t had a single friend she could trust not to sell her out to a tabloid. Even worse, with cameras and eyes on her twenty-four seven, she had to maintain a picture-perfect appearance and poise. It had been exhausting.

In Lanzo’s house she might be a slave, but she was freed from the shackles of her former life. She didn’t miss the panicky feeling she got while walking into a party, nor did she miss the all-consuming stress of juggling her duties as First Daughter with her job.

A smile touched her lips when she recalled the servants’ treatment of her as of late. She’d endured no ugly stares or harsh whisperings in days. The cook no longer cursed in her presence, instead smiling each time she entered the kitchen. Edek had obviously interceded once he learned of their behavior toward her. She resolved to thank him for his kindness.

Kindness. He truly had a heart of gold, and she witnessed it each day when he watched his brother’s progress during therapy. She watched the hope filling his eyes each time Lanzo put more weight on his wounded leg than the day before. She also witnessed it firsthand in his interactions with her.
