Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that while this first chapter is short, the rest will be longer. There will be smut in this story, but there will be a notice at the top of the chapter and a revised, no smut version afterward. Enjoy the story!
Chapter 1
Mare watched as Maven stalked closer.
"You could be my queen, and I would give you everything." He whispered, his voice echoing with a pleading tone.
"I-I don't know Maven... All the things you've done... I love you, and I need you, but I feel I can't ignore them!" I explained, my voice cracking as I carried out my charade.
"Give me a chance." He begged. Not in a million years.
"Ok, just one, for you." I simpered quietly.
"Thank you. I'll make it count." He grinned and opened my cell door. He gathered me in his arms and I pretended to breath in the scent of him, while making eye contact with Cal, my true love, over his shoulder. I winked once and he gave me a sad smile, nodding once before turning away to play his part of the rejected boyfriend. Maven scooped me into his arms and brought me to his room, where he went to lie me on the bed. I went to get up but he pinned me down by a shoulder.
"What are you doing?" I asked, eyes widening.
"I find hostages much more useful than dead subjects." He purred quietly. He brought out two pairs of silent stone handcuffs, clamping them around my wrists and ankles so I was chained X formation across the bed. "Evangeline is coming over tonight. Enjoy the show."
