compassion would be viewed as a weakness.
    Lucia cast a shy glance in his direction, her green gaze curious. She lived in a house of debauchery, devious planning and violence, yet there was a vulnerability, an innocence in her eyes, one that ran true. The other guards spoke often of her, telling of how she had been purchased to be head concubine to the dominus, but that she had yet to take the role. Fannu, Ahenobarbus’s head concubine, saw only green when looking at Lucia.
    It was Raider ’s belief that Fannu’s jealousy was part of what had saved Lucia from the dominus’s clutches so far. Also, Fannu fed the dominus’s worry of angering the gods, often whispering she had not yet borne him a son because he had dared to defy the five-year rule with her. But the mood of the house had changed in recent months. Ahenobarbus was growing weary of Fannu. In addition, Fannu’s term was fast coming to an end. He would take Lucia soon, believing it to be sanctioned by the gods.
    Like hell!
    Raider nearly growled at the idea of the bastard laying his hands upon Lucia.
    As Lucia moved to the top of the staircase, Raider went quickly to her side, taking her arm gently to keep her from tripping on her wraps. Heat moved through him. He ’d wanted to touch her for months. She gasped, glanced up at him, and then behind them to be sure no one was looking.
    “ Dominus will not be pleased you have touched me,” she said, her voice soft.
    “ He would be less pleased if you were dead at the base of the stairs because you tripped,” he replied. Truth be told, the bastard would see him dead if he knew half of what Raider wanted to do to her. He’d spent nearly every night of his two months on Emprom stroking his cock to the thoughts of Lucia—the thought of her there, on her knees before him, sucking his seed from him. He wanted her like he’d never wanted anything before, and he was a man of many desires.
    She nodded. “ You see reason. Thank you.”
    Her tiny hand found his arm and his cock hardened instantly. He had a c lear view down the top of her robes. Round, pale globes of flesh greeted him, teasing him. She was breathtakingly beautiful yet humble, two qualities that normally did not go hand in hand. He wanted to touch her breasts and feel their heaviness in his hands. He wanted to caress her nipples with his thumbs. And he wanted to know the treasures that lay between her legs. Raider had always had his pick of women, and until he’d gone undercover as Dominus’s personal guard, he’d spent nearly every night with a different female.
    They enjoyed his bad boy image, his money and his cock. He knew he was handsome. Enough females said so. And he knew how to please a woman. However, he ’d not had sex since his arrival on Emprom and his balls were so heavy with seed needing to be spent that if he didn’t fuck soon he’d explode.
    Ahenobarbus offered all his personal guards their choice of servants to fuck, but he never offered Lucia. She was special to him, especially now that Fannu ’s five years as head concubine were almost up, per the custom on Emprom..
    From what Raider had found out, Fannu was in her fifth year and had not gotten with child as of yet. On Emprom, if a head concubine bore her master a son, then that woman ’s place was cemented and she was moved to the coveted position of wife, a title she would wear until her death. However, since it seemed Fannu was destined to remain childless, her life would soon be forfeit.
    The ways were foolish and antiquated. Raider ’s home world was a distant memory to him now, but they treated their women with more respect. At last check a female was President of the Colonies—a high position indeed.
    He liked knowing Lucia saw him as a protector. She was smaller than the women of his home world, who were all tall and powerful. Lucia barely rea ched his shoulder while wearing sandals. Their size difference turned him on more. He felt even more alpha near her, more of a
