Pages : 132
Book Description
Jillian has finally accepted her change in station from future Duchess to the Prince's treasured concubine. When her former fiance takes her captive, the Prince goes mad in an attempt to regain his luscious pleasure pet unharmed. Will he force her to return to the castle or will he release her from her bonds of servitude? Jillian will be forced to decide once and for all if she will be a free woman or remain the Prince's loyal sexual servant, The Royal Concubine. Excerpt: Henry's eyes swept over her naked body with contempt. Not just contempt... there was also hot lust. Jillian felt heat on her skin as his eyes slid down her body. He was staring hungrily at her bare cleft when the Prince opened his eyes. Jillian felt him stiffen, his hands instinctively clutching her naked body where she tangled with him. It was barely dawn and they'd been sleeping when the Duke, her former fiance, had broken into her chamber. He had a razor sharp sword clutched in his hand. "Get up whore." Henry was looking at her face now, sneering. She couldn't help it, she whimpered in fear. "Don't move, Jillian." The Prince was tensing, trying to position himself in front of her but the Duke was too fast. Henry stepped forward, his blade pointed at her throat, touching her skin. Jillian's whole body started to shake. "Get up or I will cut you." She closed her eyes tightly, the Prince's hands closed like manacles around her. "And then I'll cut him." The Prince inhaled sharply. Everything Duke Henry was doing was treasonous, but threatening a Royal was immediately punishable by death. "Leave now and I will let you live Henry. We can forget all about this." Henry laughed bitterly, letting his sword slide down Jillian's body, the sharp cold point digging into her flesh. He tilted his head to the side, licking his lips. "Forget that you stole my bride? Turned her into this trollop... it is quite a display I must say. What a delightful bed partner you must be." Jillian stared at him as he licked his lips grotesquely. "Don't hurt her Henry." He looked away from her body finally, staring at the Prince. "Please.""
