Chapter Fourteen

Rhiannon struggled against the hands gripping her. Despite her efforts, the man held tight. She twisted and writhed in his arms only to have a large burlap sack tossed over her head, engulfing her in darkness and the stench of dead fish. Her stomach roiled.

She kicked and squirmed, her nails tearing the flesh of his forearm. The man grunted at the assault and pain exploded in her cheek and temple as his forearm connected with her head. He dragged her across the ground, then threw her atop a horse. Her skirts bunched up about her legs. The man mounted behind her a heartbeat later, his rough hands pinning her to the saddle.

They were moving very quickly. The shiver of apprehension that coursed through her body did not go unnoticed by her captor. He laughed, the sound grating.

The sounds of battle echoed all around as they rode for what felt like forever. The air seemed warmer than it had a few days before when she and Camden had been forced to take shelter in the cottage. And by the fast gait of the horse, Rhiannon could only assume much of the snow had melted. As they continued and the sounds of battle faded she became increasingly uneasy.

"Where are you taking me? Why are you doing this? Who are you?" The bag lifted from her head as the man slowed his pace. Rhiannon pulled a breath of clean air into her lungs. Her eyes adjusted to the brightness though she was uncertain of where they were.

"Where we're takin' ye is of nae concern of yers. If ye behave well enough, ye might live tae see it." His grin was a dark, evil slash across his face.

"Lord Lockhart will come after me. You'll see."

The man's face brightened. "I'm prayin' that he does." He narrowed his eyes and let them slide down to the thrust of her breasts. "And if he takes his time, mayhap I can sample what ye have tae offer."

She gasped.

He laughed coarsely. Grabbing a fistful of her hair, he jerked her head painfully to one side. Her cry of pain opened her lips to the revolting feel of his mouth sucking wetly upon hers. She brought her fist up to beat him away.

He caught her wrist and twisted it painfully behind the small of her back. He released a husky laugh. "God's teeth, yer goin' tae be a fun one tae tame."

Two riders edged closer to them. "Stop playin' with yer catch, Axel. We have tae get her out of here and hand her over before we'll be paid."

The man called Axel grunted and replaced the burlap sack over her head, kicking the horse into a faster gait once more.
