Larra didn’t know if it was morning or night. All she knew was that her body hurt in ways she had never experienced. Her breasts ached, her bottom was chapped, and both her passages were tender from Dauer’s passionate thrusts. When she sat up, she winced and stood with all the grace of an elderly woman. She wasn’t sorry for a bit of it. Who knew that she would find the men of her dreams within the strange walls of Hargarren Castle?

Beside the recently stoked fire, a small tray held a modest meal of roasted meat, bread, and a small tankard of ale. While she ate, she dressed, knowing that whatever she wore would not stay put for long. She wondered which lover would come to her first, and she grew wet at the prospect of taking them both at once.

“Overnight, I’ve become a lusty wench!”

When she left her room, she realized night was falling. How had she slept the day away? Snow swirled against the windows, forming odd shapes, some like melted faces peering in. Snow came early here to the mountains. Winter would not take hold in Relmon for another month or perhaps two, if they were lucky.

Severe angles jarred her sense of place, but she eventually found her way to the foyer. In the gloaming, she examined the statues that guarded the door. The one to the right of the entrance, the one of the man looking back over his shoulder, riveted her attention.

Every muscle in his back, buttocks, and legs was rigid, showing off coiled tension. She glanced around, ensured she was alone, and then tried to wedge her head between the statue and the wall so she could examine his privates. There wasn’t enough space. Disappointed, she stepped back.

Dauer said it was of him, so she studied the perfect symmetry of his face. Sharp angles gave him a noble carriage, as if the world lay willingly at his feet. His chin broadened out below his mouth, and the subtle lift of his brows conveyed a compelling mix of power and compassion. His nose was straight, long, and nestled between stone eyes that were incredibly expressive, telling of a deep regret and profound sadness.

Tears sprang unbidden to her eyes, shocking her with their intensity. She wanted to wrap her arms around him and whisper that everything would be fine. Closing her eyes, she reached up and traced the face, feeling the truth that this was his likeness.

Then why would he not let her see him directly?

Regretting her promise, she still clung to her agreement. Once she gave her word, she would hold to it. She would have to content herself to gaze upon his stone image rather than his actual visage.

Puzzled, she moved on to the second statue. The sneer of contempt grew until a dark malevolence ensnared her soul. A scream stuck in her throat. The more she looked, the more misshapen his head became. One eye melted down to his cheek, the other bulged out.
