Chapter Eleven

Gavin reread the missive King Petros had sent him.

I couldn’t help but notice everything I’ve worked hard to build over the past year has been wiped away in a single instant. I don’t know why or how you changed the course of the author’s story, but I demand you put things back to the way they were. Send the author back to where she belongs. If you don’t, I will. And you won’t like what I’ll do to you if I have to take matters into my own hands.

There was no denying the threat. He wished Sandy could tell him more about Petros. If she could, it’d give him a better understanding of what he was up against.

He returned the missive to his cabinet, locked it and left his planning room. When he reached the top of the castle where a couple of his guards stood, he peered over the land. The sun would soon be setting but enough sunlight showed him there was no immediate threat. Undoubtedly, King Petros had taken his silence as refusal to meet his demands. And he’d be right. Gavin had no intention of sending Sandy back to her world. If he did, then they’d no longer be together and that was the last thing he wanted.

“My lord, is there something troubling you?” one of his guards asked, approaching him.

Nodding, he said, “King Petros is likely to come here. I don’t know when, but it’s safe to assume he’s either on his way or making plans to. We need to exercise diligence. I don’t trust him. Put guards along every station on the walls with round the clock watch. I also want a couple of your most trusted men to infiltrate the surrounding villages to see if anything’s amiss. ”

The guard nodded. “It’ll be done as you say, my lord.”

Scanning the land surrounding the castle, he wondered how soon it’d be before the peace his kingdom had enjoyed since he’d brought Sandy to their world was upset by King Petros’ arrival. He released his breath and hurried back inside the castle. Sandy would be done dressing for dinner, and he didn’t wish to keep her waiting.

When he neared his bedchamber, he saw that she was staring out of a window along the hallway. His gaze went to the sparkling red gown she’d chosen. It accentuated her curves in a way that stirred his desire for her. His heart sped up as he drew closer to her, stopping within inches of actually touching her.

“What’s going on?” she asked, motioning to the castle walls where guards moved about in a flurry of activity.

“Nothing you need to be concerned with,” he replied. “You look stunning this evening. I’d like to think you went through all the work of styling your hair, putting on make-up and wearing that dress just for me. But I already know that’s not the case.” He leaned forward and kissed her cheek. She’d also taken the time to put on perfume, something she hadn’t done before.
