Chapter Eleven

She’d failed to make her captor come. Now she had only two more chances. What was the matter with her? How hard was it to bring a man to orgasm? She’d managed easily enough with Midas. He’d quickly finished every time they’d lain together and had been on his way almost before she was aware he’d released.

As Karnak escorted her back to her chamber, her body still glowed with energy from her orgasm and residual sparkles of delight like the facets of a gem catching the light. The problem was she’d allowed Svartan to shift the focus to giving her pleasure. She’d allowed him to take control, flip her onto her back and bring her to glorious fruition. Gwyneth would not make the same mistake again. Next time she would be the one in control even if she had to tie him to the bed to achieve it.

“Was your evening satisfactory, madam?” Karnak’s pale eyes twinkled, creasing at the corners, and she wanted to slap the smile from his face.

Holding her head high, she adopted her most frosty, queenly tone. “Whether my evening was satisfactory or not is not your concern.”

“Of course, madam.” He paused then added, “I only ask because I care for your well being. It must be very difficult to be whisked away from all you know and brought to a strange place. But His Majesty is a good man and a wise and just king, although he does tend to possess a somewhat gloomy nature. I believe if you give him the opportunity to show his brighter side, you might find you are quite happy living here.”

She didn’t respond, although she listened intently.

Karnak strode alongside her for a few more paces before he resumed talking. “The master is rather like a gem in the rough. He simply wants for a little polishing to make him shine.”

Again, Gwyneth mulled over what he’d said, but when she spoke, she changed the subject. “How is it that you speak the same language as we do above? I noticed the signs above the shops are written with foreign characters. Surely you have a native language.”

“Naturally.” Karnak released a rapid-fire spate of words that sounded like pebbles being flung at a granite wall. The language was rough and guttural and sounded angry. He resumed speaking in fluid tones. “We have had enough interaction with the topside world that we can speak your language fluently. Over many generations the upper class has practically adopted your language as its own. Only the lowest peasants speak only Elohimese.

“And here you are, madam. Delivered safely to your own room.” He stopped in front of the sapphire studded door.

“Thank you.”

Inside the room, Agnet was trying to calm a fussy Brea. She walked the child to and fro while humming a tune. Gwyneth was transfixed for a moment by the music, which was so different from any ballads or lullabies she knew. The rise and fall of the notes was exotic and foreign as if these underdwellers had invented an entirely different musical scale.
