We rose at dawn to continue our journey, just as I’d demanded—like the idiot I was. Andreas knocked on my door and woke me before the window had even turned gray. Of course this was the time he chose to obey me to the letter, damn him.

“I’ll send someone up with coffee and breakfast, Your Highness,” he called through the door, sounding disgustingly alert for someone who must’ve risen at the same time I’d have been going to bed when I was at home.

Rolling over onto my side, I blinked blearily into the darkness, able to see only the faintest line of light around the edge of my door. The fire had burned down to nothing at all. Twisting about in bed tugged on muscles I’d never known I had. I tightened them, feeling the space Andreas had left in me—or at least it seemed that way. Surely I didn’t really have an emptiness within my body in the precise shape of his cock.

“Your Highness?” A note of worry there, and for a long, shameful moment I toyed with the idea of not answering at all, which would force him to open the door and come inside to check on me. If he’d wanted to, he already would have.

Because I hadn’t been thinking at all, my mind taken over completely by the way Andreas had taken me.

I sat up with a shudder, fumbling a blanket around my shoulders to keep the chill off while the servants came to light the fire.

The day, if you could even call it that given the gloom, didn’t particularly improve from there. Icy water dripped off the brim of my hat and blew sideways under the collar of my coat. My fingers went too numb to feel the reins, and heavy dark clouds obscured the sun so thoroughly that the sky hadn’t brightened at all even after we’d been riding for hours.

We took the northern road, passing through endless expanses of soggy fields and frosty woodlands and exchanging a few words of greeting with other occasional soggy and frosty travelers. Andreas remained remarkably silent, riding beside me with his hat pulled down enough that I couldn’t even sneak looks at his face.

Partway through the morning, Andreas reined in and gestured that we’d stop for a rest, leading us under the shelter of a grove of spreading oaks.

As I stiffly swung my leg over, wincing at the
