Chapter 21

His movuon! How pointless the raw jealousy gnawing her vitals at sight of the woman on the Queen's throne at his side. Her fury drained away, leaving her shamed by her angry outburst. She had much to learn about this man. She’d ignored his greeting and words of welcome, had been abusive, even committed the crime of turning her back on his regal majesty. Yet, as he held her in such a position as to publicly declare his intention to punish her, he demanded his people fall to their knees to acknowledge her their Queen.

She didn’t know whether the woman he’d called ‘movuon’ knelt or not. What she did know was that while she hung upside down over his shoulder the Paggi elite of Nyalda were paying obeisance to her. And all she could see was the floor or the tantalizing curve of his leather clad buttocks—or the naked, straining tendons of his back! She opened her mouth and sank her teeth in as hard as she could manage. It was more of a graze really, for she could scarcely get a bite of the taut, oiled muscle but it was enough to remind him of her presence.

‘You'll pay for that, Golden One,’ he snarled, swinging round and stalking through a door at the far end of the vast chamber, into darkness.

With little apparent thought for her comfort, Taur strode the dark tunnel hewn into the mountain as if through a well-lit hall. Gynevra twisted and bucked in an effort to slip from his grasp but his arms were as unyielding as the rock through which they passed.

‘Where are you taking me, you lame-brained meilad?’

‘I'm taking you somewhere your screams won't be heard when I beat you—like a meilad.’

Thrusting through a leather door-hanging they erupted into filtered sunlight and began climbing upwards.

A light wind rustled through trees and the crisp, clean scent of fir forest heightened her senses. Had he been Gotham she'd have been terrified for her life but even though by comparison she'd spent very little time with King Cadal Isidor, she knew instinctively he'd not harm her.

‘Where are you taking me?’ she demanded again, though less stridently.

His silence was infuriating, the power of his stride up the steep cliff path amazing. But she couldn't be still and passively await her fate at his hands.

‘What are you going to do to me? Where are we?’

‘On the back of Castle Crags,’ he growled.

Coming to a sudden halt, he dragged her body slowly down the hard planes of his own, setting flash-fires dancing through her bloodstream. Then he pressed her back against one of the massive fir trees between which the track climbed. The roughness of the bark against her back was only a fleeting sensation through the thick fur cloak but the front of her body throbbed and ached at every point of contact with his.

‘You talk too much, Golden One.’

He allowed her no time to regain breath, let alone wonder again at his intentions. His fingers thrust into the tangle of her hair and pushed it back off her face.
