them. She swallowed a scream, knowing it could seal his doom.

He smelled of scorched grease and horse dung and

she held her breath. Cringing with disgust, she tried to slap him. “Let me go!”

“I am besotted with you, Kerstin. I should have

challenged Jonas last night. Instead, I lost my mind.

Forgive me.”

Oh, what should she do? Had he let his emotions

carry him away, or was he trying to trick her? She didn’t know what to believe. “I forgive you, Elezer. Now let me go.” Elezer clasped her hand in his and kissed her open palm. The moistness of his mouth caused her to fight off a shudder of repulsion. Strange how she no longer desired his kiss.

She jerked her hand away.

A loud growl came from behind. Kerstin turned to see Jonas striding toward them like a charging bull. His hands were clenched, his jaw tight, his brows lowered in a brutal scowl. His shoulders tense, he showed none of the weakness Kerstin witnessed earlier that morning. He looked livid with rage.

Without pause, Jonas wrapped his hand about

Kerstin’s upper arm and pulled her to him. Kerstin gasped in surprise, yet she was grateful to be free of Elezer. To her dismay, she saw they now had the full attention of the entire host of men, women, and children standing in the yard. The people gawked at them,

pointing and muttering amongst themselves.

Jonas’s glare fixed on Elezer as he kissed her

brutally, bending her over his arm in the process. His warriors shouted encouragement, laughing and cheering.

The kiss went on and on, hard and cruel. Gone was the gentle man who filled her with passion. He punished her for being with Elezer. He didn’t know she had tried to get away. She doubted it would change anything if she told him.

Filled with outrage, Kerstin couldn’t breathe and she struggled against him, her fists hammering on his chest.

Her woolen scarf came undone, floating to the ground.

Her curls swung about them as he savaged her lips.
