When she woke, she was in a lovely room dressed in blues and whites. It was a very masculine looking room and the smell was faintly spicy. She pushed the thought from her mind to find out what she was lying on. It was a large bed with a blue coverlet and many pillows. She shook her head slightly and then felt her abdomen. It was still sore and her feet still ached. She looked at her wrists next. There were bruises all the way up her forearm and several scratches as well.
She slowly slid to the side of the large bed and stood up. The room was enormous and the painting on the wall in front of her was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. A young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes-eyes that could only be created by paint-sat in his lovely mother's lap. He looked just like the woman, only his eyes were that of the man, who stood behind, his right hand gently placed on the lovely blonde woman's shoulder. Rei reached out a hand to touch the painting, when the door burst open and a man with short brown hand and brown eyes strode in. He stopped when he saw her. "You're her?" he said with wonder in his voice.
Rei looked at him and frowned. "I'm who?"
"Hiro said that you were a dirty little thing with no decency to dress, but I assumed that he was using his anger to describe you. No, you are amazing!"
Rei took a step away from this handsome man and was stopped by a high- backed chair. "W-what?" she stammered.
"Come with me. You are for me, are you not? Jadeite said that he wasn't in the mood to do anything tonight and instructed me to come and fetch whoever was in his bedchamber. You are for me to take, are you not?"
Rei pressed harder against the chair and shook her head. "I'm not for anyone!"
"No, you are. I was told that no one wanted you. I shall take you. I will not harm you, little bird, that I promise."
Rei shook her head and glanced around her. If she didn't go with him, there was a chance she would not be able to escape for this room was nigh impossible to penetrate. Perhaps if she went with him, she would be free. "All right." she said softly. "I'll go with you." she said slowly.
Sora smiled at her willingness. This girl was a trollop after all. From the looks of her, she looked no more than an innocent beauty. "Come with me," he said, stretching out his hand for her to take. She did so reluctantly. She can put on a good show, Sora thought as he led her out of the massive room. "My room is beyond the way, it's not as large or as lovely, but it will serve well."
Rei felt the anxious flutter in her belly. If this man did something to her, she would be prepared. "What exactly are you planning to do to me?" she asked sweetly.
"I'm just going to show you some things, little bird," Sora said as he led her quickly down the marble hall. He had to get to his room. He had the perfect position in mind for this little raven-haired beauty. "That chemise will have to come off, you realize," he said when he saw that she clung desperately to the thin fabric. It was too late to try modesty; her slender figure was clearly visible through the gossamer camisole.
He stooped lower to stare at the dark hair on her head. It was glinting the most appealing violet and several soft strands fell down her back, while the rest of the silken mass was pinned to her head, though with what sort of pins, he was unaware. It looked as it her hair had wound itself together and was holding on by it's own willingness to stay in its lovely position.
His eyes scanned her scantily clad body and with a lurch in his belly he turned away. This girl was definitely not from the earth. She was a lovely thing with pale skin and rosy lips. Her eyes were large violet orbs and her brows winged. Her limbs were slender and perfect from what he could see. He turned his eyes to her again and tried desperately to reveal what was beneath the chemise. His breath caught in his throat. Dusky rose nipples and a thatch of raven hair. He stifled a groan as he felt the tightening in his groin build. If he could just get this girl to his room, he would be safe. Set her away from him for those several hours then have his way with her, he would be happy.
When they reached their destination, Sora opened the door quickly and pushed Rei inside. "Sit on the chaise by the fire, little bird," he said gently.
Rei smothered the urge to run for the door that stood ajar beyond the bed and demurely made her way to the lounge in front of the large, black marble fireplace. "Don't panic." she whispered to herself as she sat delicately on the soft cushions. She held the fabric of her chemise close to her breasts and slid to the side of the lounge so that she would not dirty any of the ornaments.
She looked up as Sora approached her with a swathe of red silk. "Take off your chemise, little bird," he said softly.
Rei's eyes widened and her hands griped more tightly at her throat. "W- what?" she stammered.
"You heard me well, little bird. Take off your chemise."
Rei looked around her for a way out then back into the icy eyes of the man in front of her. "Take off my chemise, sir?" she asked quietly.
Sora smiled and grabbed her hands away from the neck of her shift. "I promised you I wouldn't hurt you. Now, take off the chemise and all will be well."
"But.I can't do that!" she yelled.
Sora's eyes narrowed and his mouth curled into a grin. "Shall I use force on you, little bird? I have not had to do that yet!" he shouted back.
Rei's eyes fell to her hands, which were firmly held by the handsome man in front of her. Perhaps she would be able to use her fire to get out of the room. Perhaps he wouldn't notice when she kicked him hard between the legs, where her brother had told her to hit any man who approached her with too much forwardness. Perhaps-"What are you doing?" she screeched.
Sora rolled his eyes and continued to pull the shift over her head. "You take entirely too long to decide anything, little bird," he said as he tossed the dirtied garment to the side. He looked down and saw the perfection of her body before he was forced to step back. She was incredible! Her breasts were even more round and perfectly formed than he imagined and the rose nipples were standing up proudly in the cold. There were small nicks and cuts along her upper torso and a few marring her lovely, flat abdomen. Her legs concealed what lay between them, but he caught sight of the dark violet hair. Her legs were long and slender and her hips flared gently. She had smooth white skin and looked to be as delicate as the bird he called her. "By gods." he whispered.
Rei raised her hands to cover her breasts and shifted so that she was pressed up more firmly to the back of the lounge. She wanted desperately to let her hair down so she would have that extra bit of protection. Instead she turned her flaming cheeks away and shivered from the chill in the room. A sob gathered in the back of her throat and she had to swallow hard so that it wouldn't escape.
Sora fell to his knees and held out the gossamer swathe of red silk to her. "Drape this across yourself, little bird."
Rei looked down at the fabric and frowned. It was very long, but only wide enough to cover her breasts. She looked back at him and shook her head. "I'd rather have my shift back, sir," she said softly.
Sora shook his head and stood up on shaking knees to gather the cloth around her. He draped it gracefully over one of her shoulders then brought it down over her breasts. With the rest he gathered it in one hand and lifted her legs onto the lounge. He then took the remaining fabric and assembled it around her legs so that none of her intimate flesh was revealed. "Beautiful," he whispered as he adjusted the loose strands of hair around her shoulders. "Absolutely stunning."
Rei turned her head away and tried desperately to look out of the open door. There was a slight breeze that ruffled the gold and white hangings of his large bed and several scents met her nose. The most prominent was that of fresh flowers and clean water. She could smell nothing of Endymion's palace grounds or her own and so assumed she was in some unreachable palace. "What do you want with me?" she asked the handsome man who was busying himself with a large canvas and several jars of oil paint.
"I mean to paint a picture of you, little bird. As long as you don't move, everything will work out wonderfully."
Rei couldn't help but be shocked at his. "Paint me, sir?" she asked slowly.
She saw Sora nod his head. "Yes, I plan to paint you. Just stay still.I'll have a bath brought in after I'm done."
"Why paint me?"
"Why not?" he asked as he swung around with a brush in hand. "Just relax, little bird. Put your head on the back rest and drape that arm over your stomach.yes."
Rei laughed at herself. She felt ridiculous posing for a picture. "How long will this take, sir?" she asked.
Sora shook his head. "Don't rush art, my dear.and please, call me Sora."
Rei raised an eyebrow at that. "Sora? That's an interesting name."
"I assume it is.what is your name, my dear?" he asked as he dipped his paintbrush into the black oil and then, using a quick movement on a piece of wood to blend violet with it. "I insist that I be called by my name and that the ones I paint be called by theirs."
"Minako," Rei said after a moments thought. "My name is Minako."
"As in the love goddess, my dear?" Sora asked looking over the top of his canvas.
"Yes.yes.that's it."
"What is your real name, Minako?"
Rei's mouth fell open. Did this fellow know exactly when she lied and when she didn't? "My name, sir, is Reina." she said. It wasn't a complete lie. Her mother's name was Reina, but when she was born her father insisted on Rei, seeing as how her soul matched that of the phoenix who was present at her birth. Reiko was the phoenix who gave birth to Eurus and had been the queen's companion since she was born.
Sora raised an eyebrow and looked over his canvas again. "Reina? That is an unusual name. Is that not the queen of Mars' name?"
"I believe so, sir."
"Sora, Reina."
"Gomen."
Sora chuckled to himself and continued to dip the brush into several different colors. Rei did not move throughout the entire session and did not complain once. "You are a difficult subject to paint," Sora said after several hours.
Rei looked up sleepily from her position on the lounge and cocked her head to the side. "Am I?"
"You are too beautiful, little bird. You will have to stay the rest of this month. I cannot capture your stunningness in one night. I'll have the other room made up for you."
Rei stood up from the chaise and shook her head. "No, I must go back!"
Sora put his brush down and moved in front of her. "You can't go yet, little one. I need to finish this painting and many more that I plan on doing. You will stay the remainder of this month and that is an order!"
Rei reached for her shift, which lay only a few feet away, but Sora grabbed her instead. "I'll get you some clothing, little one, but you are not to leave, is that understood?"
Rei nodded reluctantly and waited while he crossed the large room to close the terrace doors and grab a long gold robe off of one of the chairs near the window. He draped the heavy velvet over her shoulders and unwound the red silk from her body. "You will sleep in here tonight, but tomorrow you will sleep in the next room. I'm not going to allow you out of my sight."
Rei held the golden velvet close to her body and stepped away from him. "What are you going to do to me?" she asked.
Sora stared down at her with his cold eyes and then stalked to the canvas that he had been working on. He took it from the easel and leaned it against his chest of drawers. "I will not do anything you do not wish for me to do. But I would like for you sleep in my bed tonight."
"I will not sleep in that bed with you, sir!" she yelled. "How dare you even suggest such a thing!"
Sora's mouth grew taut. "Do not play with me, trollop. Get in that bed and stay there until you are wanted!"
"I will not!" Rei said and ran for the door. Sora blocked her easily and swung her into his arms. She beat his chest the whole time he strode to his bed. Tossing her upon the feather mattress was simple enough and then he opened the robe and settled his weight between her legs. "Listen to me, little bird, and listen well. I am your master for the next few weeks until my prince says you are not mine."
"I am no one's property," she screamed as she tried to get free.
Sora pinned her more firmly to the bed and forced her to look at him. "You are mine, Reina. My prince gave you to me and you will continue to be mine until I am ready to give you up or my lord wishes to take you back. Is that understood?"
"You are a sick and disgusting cad!" she screamed.
Sora roughly pressed his hard thigh between her legs and then grabbed the hair on her head and yanked it back. "Do you always play games?" he asked angrily. "You will stay with me and that is final!"
Rei whimpered between clenched teeth. His thigh was beginning to bruise her in places she wasn't sure she should be bruised. She tried to push him away but he sank harder into her. "All right!" she cried as a final attempt to get him away from her.
He grinned evilly to himself and kissed her forehead. "Get under the covers, little bird," he said gently.
When she woke, she was in a lovely room dressed in blues and whites. It was a very masculine looking room and the smell was faintly spicy. She pushed the thought from her mind to find out what she was lying on. It was a large bed with a blue coverlet and many pillows. She shook her head slightly and then felt her abdomen.
