her lips.
    He held himself still until her spasms
calmed. The strain near blew the top of his head off as her muscles
milked at his cock. Feeling his seed begin its travel, he raised
his hips to withdraw.
    She locked her legs around his buttocks. He
tensed his own and rose upward again. She lifted with him. He
shoved up on his arm and tried to calm his raging desire for
release. A light touch of her fingers on his ballocks was his
undoing.
    His seed burst forth.
    'Twas something he had not done inside a
woman in the past ten years.
    Anger streaked through him. He wanted to rage
at her.
    Suddenly, Raik was as weak as a youngling. He
blinked and tried to keep his eyes wide. Colors swirled around him
once more. He rolled onto his back, his eyes too heavy to open.
    Sighing, he fell into a deep sleep.

CHAPTER 7
    Letia held her breath, listening. At first,
she feared Maud had dosed him too heavily. The fear was
short-lived. He turned to his side and threw his right leg across
her stomach. The air whooshed from her.
    Bit by bit, she freed her lower body from
beneath his heavy thigh. When her hip slid along his flaccid tarse,
she startled. It moved of its own, filling and growing again to an
impressive size.
    Were all young men ready to swive so soon
after such heated bed sport? Or did it depend on good health? Maybe
both? Would that Warin had been young and healthy. On their wedding
night, he had suffered with chest pains.
    Keeping one eye on the snoring man, she
grabbed her smock off the floor and slipped it over her head. She
must hurry. Should he awaken, she would likely need aid in escaping
the room. Trembling, she pulled the woolen cloak across her
shoulders and clutched it to her neck.
    Glancing around, Letia probed the darkness
for anything she had missed. A moment later, she grasped the door
latch. When it moved beneath her fingers, she bit her tongue to
keep silent.
    The door inched open.
    "Shh, 'tis only me."
    Maud's voice. Letia's jaw relaxed and she
sighed softly as tension drained from her. She hurried out of the
chamber then closed the door so slowly it did not make a sound.
    "Lovey, I left your bath as it was. The water
is cold, but I could not have it heated lest someone might wonder
about it."
    "Warin?"
    "Color has returned to his cheeks." Maud
patted Letia's back and urged her forward. "Go now. We will talk
later."
    Both women froze when someone cloaked in
black moved from the shadows, the hood pulled low over her face.
When she drew near, they saw 'twas Letia's sister.
    Letia froze. What must she think of her?
    Sybilla put her arms around her and squeezed
gently.
    "Do not look so," she whispered. "I knew
something was afoot when Warin brought the Scotsman back to the
keep. That he had a purpose. The baron always has a purpose."
    She gave Letia a swift hug then stepped
back.
    "I will help Maud so our guest will think
'twas all a lovely dream."
    Letia choked back a sob. Her bare feet flew
across the floor leading back to her solar.
    Drawing off her clothes, she stepped into the
bathing tub. Shivering from the cold water, she snatched up the
cloth and lathered from her face to her knees, then knelt and
splashed water over her flesh until she'd rinsed off the soap.
    As she straightened, she heard the same
strange howls and shrieks come from the woods as she had heard the
night before Ranald arrived. Surely, it was the same creature. No
other animal could sound so frightening. Everyone in the keep had
made comment on it. Most were certain it was Cerberus, the hound of
Hades, come to steal a life for Lucifer.
    She hastened to dry as her eyes probed the
midnight black corners of the room. Taking a shuddering breath, she
grabbed the warm smock Maud had placed on a nearby stool then
tiptoed into the sleeping chamber. After she eased herself into
bed, she waited for her body to warm before she moved to press
herself against Warin's back. Careful not to wake him, she put her
arm over his waist and kissed his bare skin.
    She
