With This Ring

Freya



Maxim Ivankov is the devil incarnate.

With the fierce blood of Mongolian conquerors running through his veins he is pitiless.

From the time I was a child, I knew he was my enemy, and I have always hated him with a shocking intensity. Now my father wants me to marry him.

I cannot say no to my father. No one says no to him, not if they wish to live.

I may be his daughter, but his honor is more important than my life.

So I will marry that heartless brute.

Yes, he is beautiful, with piercing blue eyes and raven black hair, but I will not bend to him. I will not share his bed, and I will not bear him children.

Our marriage will be more barren than the wild landscapes his ancestors rode across when they came to conquer our lands.



Maxim



I have watched her from afar for many, many years. Those flame colored locks tumbling down her delicate shoulders, that creamy-white neck when it is stretched and exposed.

I have imagined how it will feel when she offers herself to me and I am inside her.

She despises me, but now she will bear my name and be mine.

I will make her call my name.

I will make her get on her pretty, little knees and beg me to take her.

I will be her last thought when she goes to sleep and the first when her eyes open.

I will fill her belly with my seed.
