CHAPTER 71
Then, without speaking, Mikelle got up from the table and turned to look out the window into the night sky. The stars were brilliant, setting the heavens aglow with their light.
“Look at the stars with me, my lady,” he said, coaxing her with a light tone in his voice. “The gods are shining down on us. I know you believe in god. Bask in the beauty he created.”
“I fear you mock me, my lord. Still, I will look upon the night if it pleases you.”
She moved to the window standing as far down from him as possible. The stars were especially beautiful this evening. She supposed it was because the morning rain had cleared the sky. She cut her eyes toward Mikelle. He did seem to be enjoying the majesty of the heavens. Maybe she had misjudged him.
She was warming to that idea, when she suddenly remembered the first time she had met the general and the night he spent with his mistress in the cave. He had flaunted himself before her, exhibiting private acts too vile to think about. Nicadea turned away from him in disgust.
“Have I done something to displease you, my lady?”
“You have never done anything but displease me. I’ve hated you from the first time I met you. You bedded your whore in the cave before the altar and plowed the harlot before me.”
“You’d do well to watch your tongue, my lady.”
“Or what? What can you do to me you have not already done?”
“I smile to think of it.”
Although she was still a virgin, Nicadea could not miss the lascivious meaning of his remark, and raising her arm, slapped him hard across the face.
“Stay away from me, you barbarian, or I will call on the gods to curse you.”
Mikelle took a step toward her. “This time, lady, you have pushed me too far, and I will have my revenge.”
She turned to run, but he stopped her with little effort. Using both of his powerful hands, he took her by the shoulders and pulled her to him. She groaned in pain beneath his forceful grip, but he was beyond caring about her discomfort. She tried to move away, but only succeeded in trapping herself between him and the window.
“I will give you a taste of what you’ve been missing, my love.”
“No, I will scream.”
“Go ahead. I will very much enjoy stopping you.”
She took a deep breath and opened her mouth wide to scream to the gods, but before even a tiny sound had time to escape, he leaned down and captured her mouth with his. Anger made her desperate, and she used all her strength to push him away, but her efforts were useless. Letting go of her shoulder, he twisted one hand into her hair to steady her head, while the other sought the softness of her breast, pressed upward from her bodice. She gasped in surprise at the touch of his hand, and he used the opportunity to further seduce her by invading her mouth with his tongue.
Outraged, she bit down on him, but he was not to be deterred. Instead of letting her go, as she expected, he twisted her nipple painfully until she released him. Tears of defeat streamed down her face, but before he had time to regret his action, she brought up her knee and hit him a glancing blow to his proud nether region. This time he let her go with a curse. Free at last, she ran from the room and down the back stairs to hide away in her quarters, where she would spend the remainder of the night pondering her fate.
