The Commander's Desire
“It was peaceful, and free of pain. And then she heard a faint roar. A voice. It sounded familiar. And then she wrenched back to earth. Pain exploded through her head.
Moaning, she slowly drifted to consciousness.
Something rhythmically bounced her body, worsening the pain.
“Stop,” she mumbled. “Stop!”
“Elwytha.” It was the Commander’s voice. It sounded oddly urgent.
Her eyes fluttered open to stare into his anxious gray ones. He held her in his arms, she realized. More, they rode a horse. Hence... the unbearable bumping.
“Stop,” she begged. “Please stop.”
“Stop?” he sounded bewildered.
“The bumping. It hurts,” she whispered. Tears ran out of her eyes, depositing cold drops in her ears.
“We’re not safe. We are still on your brother’s land.”
Elwytha shut her eyes again. The pain felt an agony in her head. “How much…longer?”
His arms tightened around her. “I wish to carry you home, to the Prince’s castle. Where you will be safe.”
More helpless tears trickled out as the agony in her head intensified.MoreLess
