A new update for for this story. Mentions of smut you have thus been forewarned. I hope you all like it.

I struggled to get out of the Longcoats grip as they drug me towards another tent. One of my guards slapped me viciously across the face making me gasp in pain.

"Was that truly necessary, Leopold," snapped my "husband". "If you do that again you'll come to regret it."

"But sir," Leopold began to protest.

"No buts, Leopold," was the angry reply. "No harm is to come to Andromeda or her sisters. Do you hear me?" Zero then paused in thought. "The person to cause any of them harm will be made an example of."

Leopold gulped and nodded. Gently placing me in a chair he quickly exited the tent.

I looked around me expecting to see a tent that was barely fit for a soldier. That was not what met my eye. The tent must have been stolen from a well to do merchant. It had all the things one would expect to find on a camping trip but the furnishings were something along the lines of extravagant.

"I hope everything is to your liking," came a soft voice that I hadn't expected to hear coming from Adrian Zero. But it couldn't have come from anyone else seeing as he scared both guards off. "I didn't think you'd deal well with sleeping on the cold dirt floor."

I glared at the man defiantly. If he was expecting an answer or a thank you he wasn't getting one.

That didn't seem to phase him one bit. He walked over to a chair next to mine and sat down with a big smile on his face. "I've been thinking about this moment for days," he almost whispered longingly. "The moment I got to look upon your beautiful face again. The moment I got to hold you in my arms again. Do you remember our wedding night?"

A shiver of fear went down my spine at his words. What was this psycho expecting of me? I quickly shook my head not looking at him.

He must have seen the fear on my face. His smile faded a little. "Don't worry," he said placing his hand gently upon mine, "I won't force you into anything your not ready for." He walked to entrance of the tent and had a short conversation with one of his men. After finishing he walked back over. "I have sent for your sisters. This is to be your tent to do whatever you want with. I will only share it with you if you want."

I looked into his face. He seemed sincere about that much. I was sure. "Thank you," I replied quietly. "I to keep it just myself, DG, and Azkadellia if you don't mind."

"Not in the least," was the quick reply. He walked to the tent flap again. "Here are your sisters now." He allowed DG and Az in. "I better be on my way to my own tent. If you ladies need anything just ask one of the men."

As soon as Zero left the tent the images that had kept him sane played before his eyes. As real as though she hadn't just pushed them out of the tent they were to share.

It was always the same vivid images. Their wedding night. The way she cried her eyes out in fear of him. He had promised her the same thing he had now then. Except that time he'd broken his promise. Azkadellia, or the witch, or whoever, had given him vapor to calm the girl and it had worked. Obviously to well. He passed one of his men on the way to the other tent. "Bring me my usual girl," he called as he let himself in the tent. If his wife wouldn't allow him his due he would go elsewhere.

That is it for this chapter. Next chapter will be back at the palace with the Queen and Ahamo. A little bit of the Cain men tracking our princesses. And Zero may or may not get a kiss before they move again. I hope you all enjoyed.
