me, Aria." His voice stern, his tone unapologetic.
    "I didn't do anything wrong!" Aria cried out, desperately trying to escape his fury and his hand.
    "You hit a Prince of Brayleigh. You don't raise your hand or arm at me, ever."
    Tears threatened Aria's eyes. Is this what her life would be like from now on? Punishments for not acting lady like and doing as told? She wasn't used to living with a prince, obeying his rules, let alone knowing them. How was any of this fair?
    "I didn't hit you." At least that hadn't been her intent in swatting him away.
    His hand came down again, spanking her.
    Her cheeks clenched together, growing uncomfortable as the ache began to build in her pussy. What had he done to awaken such desires? Had his dominance been what turned her on?
    "You will obey me. Say it." Another swat to her bare bottom.
    Aria slammed her eyes shut. It wasn't the spanking that hurt terribly. No, her heart ached. Trapped here with other women that James enjoyed felt unbearable. The mere thought of sharing him, knowing he did this to the other woman in the royal harem was devastating.
    She knew her pussy dripped with wetness. Could he see the arousal and swollen folds begging to be touched? A faint moan slipped past her lips. She never meant to tell him of her arousal at all, let alone hint at it. Why give him the satisfaction?
    "Say it." James grew impatient waiting for Aria's subordination. His hand came down again. Her bottom grew raw, the pain much more fierce as he tried to get his point across.
    Aria blinked through her misty vision as tears threatened her eyes. Why had he turned her on? That was worse than the spanking itself, knowing he'd aroused her. The maid walked away, retreating down the hall, no longer interested. Had she seen this display of punishment before?
    "No." Aria refused to do as he ordered.
    Another blow to her rear and she squealed with a mix of delight and pain. Her bottom had grown raw and his lashes weren't easing up anytime soon.
    "I can go all day," James said in warning. "Do you want another spanking? Or perhaps I should get the belt?"
    "No!" Aria shrieked. "I'll do whatever you say. I won't hit you." Somehow it seemed ironic what was happening, considering she'd barely touched him and he lashed out on her body.
    "Get up," he commanded.
    Aria climbed off his lap and he lifted her panties back around her waist. His fingers lingered over her hips. Aria swallowed and took a tentative step back as she smoothed down her dress and wiped the tears away. Is this what her life would be like in Brayleigh? How long would she survive here?

    The prince escorted Aria to her bedroom. Grateful she didn't have to share it with eleven other young women, she didn't want them to know of her punishment. Aria doubted she'd be able to sit again tonight.
    "You'll be able to mingle with the girls and I'll come find you and the others around dinner," he said.
    Aria had barely eaten anything all day. She didn't want to wait until tonight but it seemed there was little choice in the matter. Would she have to dine with him and his other mistresses?
    She climbed beneath the covers, lying on her stomach, and shut her eyes needing a nap.
    The door between her room and the royal harem squeaked open, and she heard her name. "Aria," a young girl said.
    "I'm trying to sleep." Aria's voice answered into the pillow with a groan. She turned her head and noticed the girl wasn't more than ten or twelve with blonde hair and blue eyes. She poked her head into the room, staring wide-eyed at Aria. "What do you need?"
    "Is it true you're twenty-three?"
    Aria rolled onto her back and grimaced, coming to lie on her side. It looked like she wouldn't be sleeping after all. "Yes. Come on in." Unlike the eleven women of the royal harem, Aria felt no ill will from this young girl.
    Light on her feet, the child slipped into the room quietly and closed the door behind her. "I'm not supposed to be in here."
    Aria didn't wish to
