CHAPTER TEN

AFTER ALICE HEARD THE LOCK CLICK, she rolled onto her side and closed her eyes, unable to believe Jarronn had left her, desperate again for an orgasm. Not only that, but she was manacled and chained in the middle of a castle turret. And for cripes sake, she’d told him she felt safe.

Maybe just like the pretend Alice from the book, she’d open her eyes to find herself with her head in her sister’s lap. Alexi would be brushing leaves away from her face as she said, “Wake up, Alice dear!” She’d add, “Why, what a long sleep you’ve had!”

Alice sighed and opened her eyes. Of course Alexi wouldn’t say, “Alice dear.” No, her twin would probably roughly shake her and say something like, “What the hell’s the matter with you? Get up already!”

God but she missed her sister.

She missed the days, too, when Mother had been completely sane. Until the twins were out of elementary school, their mother had read stories to them every night. She’d had a beautiful, musical voice that held Alexi’s and Alice’s attention through the very last word of whatever story she was reading.

Not surprisingly, one of Alice’s favorite books had been Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, because the main character was named Alice. She liked to pretend she was having all of the fun adventures that Lewis Carroll’s Alice did as the fictional character made her way through Wonderland.

Now here she was, the very real and alive Alice, having her own adventures in an erotic Wonderland. Definitely not a kid’s story.

She almost giggled then wondered if she was going crazy and she was in a loony bin and not some fantastical world.

With a deep sigh, she decided to concentrate on what appeared to be her current reality. She was naked and chained to the floor, lying on a big red papasan cushion.

Moonlight spilled into the room, caressing her skin, and she wondered at how it stayed so consistent and golden for so long. Wasn’t this world turning like Earth? Her thoughts moved across the time she’d spent so far in Jarronn’s kingdom.

Maybe it was the elixir Jarronn had given her, but for some reason Alice hadn’t felt like crying since she’d swallowed it. Her thoughts seemed clearer, and it was easier to analyze why he’d left her chained to a ring in the middle of a castle turret.

Boy, if that didn’t sound weird. Twilight Zone weird.

A lesson. He wanted to teach her a lesson. Did she even want to be taught anything?

“You are beautiful, Alice,” he’d said before he left. He’d told her she was lovely and perfect and so many other wonderful things more times than she remembered ever hearing in her life. Oh, she’d been told she had a pretty face and that she’d be lovely if she shed a few pounds—okay, a lot—but she never remembered anyone saying that she was beautiful just the way she was.

If she was honest with herself, she wasn’t bad looking at all. Her eyes were her best feature—large and almond shaped and a unique shade of aqua.
