Chapter Fifteen

Two hours later, I was gripping the sheets on the bed in our room. Small whimpers leaked between my clenched teeth while Luther purged his frustrations at his sister's betrayal. When he entered the sitting room, Luther took me by the wrist and led me into the bedroom, shutting the doors. Thirty minutes later, his hands were still clamped around my wrists, pinning them to the mattress as Luther thrust his anger into me. The difference between his taking me with desire and with rage was that instead of moans, he roared ferociously.

Collapsing onto me finally, Luther shuddered violently, then both of us lay there panting. My dress was in ruins where Luther ripped it open down the back, and I think his uniform suffered the same fate. "Are you okay?" Luther asked while kissing my neck. Still breathless, I nodded. "Thank you for offering yourself up." Swallowing, trying to control my breathing, I almost moaned with relief when he rolled to the side. "Are you sure I was not too hard on you?"

"Not at all." I may not be able to walk right for the rest of the day, but the sex had been mind-blowing. Sitting up, I held the front of my tattered dress to me. "I'll need to eat again. Can you get someone to fetch me a snack while I wash and dress, please?"

While I went into the bathroom and the pre-poured bath, Luther moved to the sitting-room door. "Erhaird, the Princess needs to eat before we go down to see her uncle."

Throwing my dress to the floor against the wall along with the ruined undergarment, I slipped into the pool-sized tub and started washing. The tenderness of my bruised wrists made me cringe a little. Sliding into the tub behind me, Luther pulled me into his lap.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked as he took the sponge and started washing me gently.

"Her mother poisoned her mind; convinced her that if I produced no heirs, then her children would have a right to the throne. She confesses to helping in the abduction attempt, but only because they assured her you would not be harmed. She denies vehemently any knowledge of the attempt on my life."

"Do you believe her?"

His hands paused. "While I want to believe her, it wouldn't change what Padget has done."

Prying the sponge from Luther's clenched fist, I turned to wash him. His eyes focused on me intently as I sponged his entire body. "Padget isn't capable of hurting you, Luther. I believe she thought they would just take me home, but neither of us could take a new partner to have children because we are joined." Stilling my hands, I lifted my eyes to his. "Don't kill her, Luther. Naivety shouldn't be a death sentence."

Focused on my lips, Luther stroked my cheek. "She committed treason, Zira. There is only one punishment for that."

Closing my eyes, I remembered the Broadcaster's vidscreen depicting my parents kneeling, waiting for the death blow.

"Okay." Luther exhaled dynamically.
