She rose up onto her feet and walked to the door, pressing her body against it, needing to have him close even if he couldn’t be touching her.
“I can’t,” she whispered forlornly.
“Shea, just undo what you just did.”
“I can’t. The code I use only locks me in. The code to open it is with Adanya, and she is missing.”
An intense rapid flutter went through her, bringing her back onto her knees, and she grunted as she hit the floor.
“Stand back, I am going to break this motherfucker down,” he warned her.
She did grin because even for his size and strength, Adanya knew what she was doing.
She felt the door vibrate against her body and moved back, but the door held firm.
She heard him cursing and then a sharp whistle.
He was calling some of his men.
“Roland, listen, you cannot break this door down.”
“I know.”
She then heard him retreat, and her shoulders slumped, tears pooling in her eyes because the heat will be excruciating to the point that you could go mad, and the only way to survive is to find a mate or hope you come out on the other side okay.
Shea took deep breaths and began to think of all the herbs to distract herself from her body turning on her and from the thought that he left her. He only tried for a little bit, enough to assuage his conscience and for the people in the village to feel better about it.
The damn man should have tried harder. She felt a wave of anger and sorrow go through her.
Then she froze because she heard the hidden panel slide away from the wall on the other side and then numbers being punched in. She moved back to the other side of the room, her heart racing in fear and excitement now.
The door opened, and there stood Roland; his clothes were gone except for the tight jeans that stretched acrossmuscles that flexed as he stood there watching her with his now icy golden eyes. His chest was bare, with Moonshadow’s tribal tattoos across it and spilling onto his shoulders. Her gaze swept down to his tight abs, which expanded as he took a breath, down to the front of his jeans, where the outline of his cock rested, long and thick against his leg.
She swallowed, and her eyes jumped back to his when she heard him chuckle.
“I think my size is much bigger than the fist you used.” She swallowed, her mouth and throat suddenly dry.
“And you will pay for that as well. When I am done, you will realize this pussy will only need pleasure from me, and it is mine, all mine.” His voice sounded possessive. She shivered, liking that he was.
He took a step into the room, closing the door behind him, and then turned and punched in the code to lock the room.
She gasped and then shouted. “Nooooo!”
He turned with raised eyebrows. His expression said, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
She lifted her chin, opened her mouth to retort a scathing comment, but paused when it registered how he got in. “How did you—did you find Adanya?” she said, happiness and relief pouring through her despite what she was going through and the dire situation she was in now.
His face showed worry for a second, and he shook his head. “Not yet, we picked up their scent, and the men are in pursuit now. We shall have her back home soon,Meliah.”
She was surprised again today. He just spoke to her in their language they barely used anymore and called her darling.
“But then how did you get the codes?”
He shook his head at her, and his gaze heated again with anger. “You must not think very highly of your soon-to-be king.”
She groaned. “You got them from Emiyah. Of course, Adanya would tell her sister, and I told her about the inside codes just in case.”
He didn’t bother to answer but moved toward her, and she shook her head and backed away, searching the empty room for something to use to keep him at bay.
