“As she stirred, the sweet tenderness between her legs reminded her of the training that had ended with Xander’s learning the truth about the betrayal that had separated them, and her learning that he had never really stopped loving her.But with that realization came a new pain—one neither of them had spoken of. She was a deposed and despised queen of a land he now ruled. They could never be together, not even if their love had been rekindled.True to his word, Xander sent a new maid—a motherly m...atron called Sal—to be housed in the small but comfortable chamber next to Avin’s. There were also gifts to help the former queen pass her time—books, embroidery fabric and thread, a lute, and bowls of fruits and cakes.But despite the improvements to her confinement, Avin found it hard to relax. Before he’d left her chamber, Xander had told Avin that the barons of Windbourne would be attending a feast that evening ahead of the coronation. They expected to see the queen leashed and at his feet, but Xander told Avin that while she would attend collared, she would be seated at his side.This sparked mixed feelings for Avin.MoreLessRead More Read Less
