to such an outlandish statement. Her
heart thudded in her chest even as a blossom of heat sizzled from her arms to
the pit of her stomach. Tia was surprised to realize this was probably desire.
Immediately, she thought of Roland, and a flush of guilt spread over her face.
“I am not here to-” Her mouth worked as she searched her
mind for an appropriate word. “To bond with you. Period . I am here
to discuss the peace council and try to find a compromise that would work for
everyone.
“I want the world at my feet,” Bylan clarified sinisterly
as he slowly circled around Tia, lightly touching her. “I want every woman to
wonder when or if I will ever fuck her. I want every man to fear me and wonder
the same thing. I want to control all beings.”
“Please Bylan,” she whispered raggedly as she silently
begged the Gods to stop her body from responding to his treachery. “You are
scaring me. I just want to find a way to end the bloodshed. The Gods are demanding we end this .”
Fear and curiosity froze her in the middle of his tent as
she felt him laugh and move aside her heavy braid. A shiver of heat and dread
slid down her body as Bylan’s lips brushed across her neck eliciting a soft
gasp from her. Need snaked its way through her body as he gently closed his
mouth over her neck and softly suckled her.
“I will agree to two more weeks of meeting with the other
leaders if you will agree to share my bed for that time,” Bylan rasped hoarsely
as his hands settled on her hips. He slowly ground his erection into her
backside leaning in to lick and suckle her neck again. “I know you are
innocent, Tia. If you come to me willingly ,
I will be gentle.”
“Bylan, I am to be bonded in 11 days time. I cannot share
your bed.” Tia nearly sagged back into
his embrace as she prayed for the Gods to get her out of this situation. Every
nerve ending was screaming at her to turn around and submit to the Warlord.
Heat pooled between her legs and she bit back a low moan that was begging to be
released.
“If the Gods created and then sent the most beautiful
Druid I have ever seen to me, how can you
know this wasn’t their purpose for
you ?” Bylan moved his hands up and around her body to caress her breasts.
“I am one of the chosen people,” she said with more gusto
than she felt. Her breasts grew fuller with pleasure at his touch and yet she
longed to slap his hands from her body; either
that or turn around in his arms and press my mouth to his. “The Gods do not whore out their people.”
“I will promise to leave the Druids alone and leave their
lands alone,” he mumbled as he lavished kisses across her neck and continued to
massage her breasts. “If you come to me willingly, I will promise to leave the
Druids out of this war and let them keep their swamps and their bogs. I really
am not interested in the foggy, wet lands of the Druids anyhow.”
Bylan slowly sat down on a chair and drew her down onto
his lap. Her back to his front, he hung her legs on either side of his and
slowly worked his hand under her robe.
Tia’s body was on fire. She was sure she was going to die
but she felt so good she just didn’t care at this moment. Every nerve ending
screamed in anticipation as she focused on the hand creeping up her leg.
“It can be so good,” he promised, gently turning her face
to his with his free hand before kissing her.
Looking deep into his green eyes, Tia gave herself over
to the sensations. Her lips tingled as she greedily mated his tongue with her
own. Her hips moved of their own accord and Tia gasped into Bylan’s mouth as
his hand finally found her womanhood.
Reaching up,
