Chapter Seven

The following morning, Annie woke to the soft patter of rainfall against her windowpane and Abra snuggled up to her neck. Memories of Karn, the garden, their passion washed over her, and her entire body felt warm at the thought. She was deliciously sore, her thighs and pussy having the ache of a good sexual workout.

Another thing she’d read about and now finally got to experience for herself.

Annie smiled, but it dissolved into a frown as she remembered Karn’s parting words from last night, “I will see to all your needs, kitten. But it goes no further than my being your Sire, and you learning the art of pleasure.”

Her thoughts turned toward his earlier statement that she was to be his Queen. How could the man simply kidnap her and force her to marry him? Yet even stranger was how easily she had gone along with everything he demanded of her. Something about him made her want to please him, to be with him. But she hardly knew the man…although she certainly knew him well in many ways after yesterday.

With a sigh, she carefully turned on her side and stroked Abra as she looked at the window and watched raindrops make trails down the glass. When she was young, she used to imagine that rain was the sky’s tears when its heart had been broken.

While she watched the raindrops roll down the pane, she thought about her childhood. Every time her mother or others had stepped on her heart in her life, she had cried. She never knew her father, and her mother acted as if she hated Annie and resented her very existence.

Annie’s grandmother had been a kind and good-hearted woman, and was the only person in Annie’s life who showed her any kind of love. But Grandma Travis had passed away close to Annie’s tenth birthday, and then she had no one.

It wasn’t until she moved away from home to attend San Francisco State University on scholarship, that Annie found true friends and loyal family in her cousins, Alice and Alexi, and in Awai. They had embraced Annie as one of them and had taken her under their collective wings.

She stroked Abra under her chin absentmindedly as she thought about her cousins. Alice and Alexi had been taken away from Annie, and she’d left Awai behind.

Annie moved her hand to her collar and sighed. And here I am with a man who refuses to love. Talk about irony.

Sparkles glittered in front of Annie, jarring her from her thoughts. Beya materialized, holding a tray piled high with dishes. Abra scampered off the bed and darted beneath it.

“Breakfast, Mistress,” the little woman said as she bustled to a table in the corner of the bedroom. She placed the tray on the table and began arranging items in front of each of the chairs. “Sire Karn will join you shortly.”

“Thanks, Beya.” Annie slipped out of bed, and then crawled right back under the covers when she realized what she was wearing—the sheer pink nightgown.
