***

Valdrik left the duchess’ bedchamber feeling like a stalking beast that had been denied his prey. His self-restraint had nearly snapped—until he comprehended that her husband had used her no better than a whore. Although he’d gone to her in anger and with every intention of taking her, punishing her with sex was the act of a brute. And that’s exactly what she believed he was—a ravaging monster from the north. He wanted her. His body had screamed with need, but there was something greater at stake.

He’d come to Brittany with the ambition, not only to conquer, but to win over and reunite the land as one kingdom. If she would come to him willingly, she would be highly instrumental in helping him to achieve that goal. Thus, he was determined to win her over and gain her cooperation. He would prove himself a better man than her duke had been, shrewder, more competent, more capable, a man worthy of commanding… of ruling.

He didn’t understand this strange need he had for her respect. Women had always been merely a way to pass the time between raids, but this one was different. She was proud, beautiful, and defiant with an untouchable air—that only made him want to touch…to take. But he wanted her admiration, not her revulsion. He’d come perilously close to losing any chance to win her over. His error was in trying to extort from her what had to be given freely. He’d learned that long ago with his men. Although they responded to a show of strength, in the end, their respect had to be won. He consoled himself that tonight he’d proven he was not a mindless savage bent on subjugation, but a man capable of reason.

And she had accepted his bargain. That last kiss, however, was much more than he’d bargained for. The haughty duchess had begun to melt, revealing what he’d suspected—she hid passion beneath the ice. He stood to reap great benefits if he restrained himself enough to handle her with care. Tomorrow, he promised himself, she would be his.
