She knew his name. He was The Taker, and he was the master of the underworld.

A single tear fell from Red’s eye. She knew where she was. She was dead, and was damned to be punished in the underworld for eternity. Her hope for escape dimmed in her heart. Her sins had finally doomed her.
The Taker stepped close to her. She could smell his breath. It was sweet and pleasant, like freshly baked cinnamon rolls. He reached out and touched her face, brushing the tear away with his thumb.
“Now, now, my dear, no need for tears. You have nothing to fear from me.” He put his thumb in his mouth and sucked the moisture off. Red watched his full lips. They looked soft and subtle. She wondered how they would feel on her flesh. Her face blushed at the thought. She could not stop her betraying emotions.
He smiled, as if privy to her thoughts. He leaned down toward her ear. “You will have that pleasure,”
he whispered.
A shudder enveloped her body. A great pool of molten lust boiled deep in her belly. Her sex began to throb with want. She could feel it moisten just from his simple words.
He took the leash from Morgana. “Thank you, Sister, I will take her from here.”
“Be careful. She would sooner rip your head off then do as you say.”
He smirked. “I don’t foresee a problem, but thank you nonetheless for the warning.” He patted Morgana on the cheek like a child. He waved his hand toward the corner of the room. “You may have your other one back. He was of no use to me.”

Red gasped as she looked into the corner. Wolf was shackled and collared as she was, but he was chained to the wall like a dog being punished for some wrongdoing. He was shirtless. His muscles bulged and strained as he paced back and forth on his tether.
Red saw long red welts across his chest. He had been whipped recently.
She met his eyes. They still glowed brightly. The fire still raged inside. She thanked the heavens for that.

It took everything Wolf had to stop from yelling out.
He had not expected to see Red. He was sure she was somewhere else. Was hoping for that. Seeing her chained nearly did him in. He could tell by her stance that she was nearly done. The wild animal inside her would soon be tamed. The Taker was very powerful.
Very seductive. He was not sure Red could resist him.
“You damaged him, Drake.” Morgana pouted.
“His important parts still work, Sister. But if you address me like that again, it will be you that is damaged.” Drake looked at her, his red eyes flashing.
Morgana shrank from the stare.
He walked out of the ballroom, pulling Red behind him.
Rapunzel giggled at their rapport.
Morgana swiped her hand in front of the girl’s face.
Her long sharp talon sliced her cheek. Rapunzel gasped and put a quivering hand up to the cut.
“Don’t ever mock me, girl. I will send you back to 55

where you came from, locked in a tower.”
Rapunzel turned swiftly and stormed out of the ballroom. Other patrons watched her leave, glee on their faces.
Morgana gestured to her guard. “Fetch me my puppy.”

Red walked obediently behind Drake. She would bide her time, save her strength. Seeing Wolf had sparked something inside. Maybe there was still some hope. Maybe she could still escape with her life intact, maybe even her soul.
He led them to his private chambers. His rooms were ornate and baroque. Colored in deep greens and burgundy. A fire raged in the massive stone fireplace.
The room was rich and emanated great warmth. Red still shuddered as she glanced around.
Drake gestured to a high-backed ornate chair, covered in velvet. “Please sit.”
Red stood stubbornly beside it. She glared at him.
Drake sat down elegantly in the opposing chair.
“Sitting will cost you nothing, Red. You should choose your fights more wisely.”
Red sat down. In felt incredible to sit in the plush chair. It was soft and
