![]() The Prince’s Prisoner
-- EXCERPT: His eyes touched to hers in the reflection of the mirror. As he slipped off his shoulder pads, he said, “You should not have touched them.” Callie shoved forward, away from the arch. Her feet slapped against the floor. “What do you want from me? We made a deal, but I’m still trapped.” Rain removed metal chains from his torso. He kept his back to her, but his eyes followed her in the mirror. “I want to go home,” she said. “Tell me how to do that—” The chains crashed to the dressing table. Callie flinched, and suspected that he’d meant to throw them down hard. The danger clutching to his words when he spoke confirmed it. “This is your home now.” He turned to face her and leaned back against the table. “We had a deal. It is final.” “But—” Callie blinked at him, her brows knitting together. “I promised you something in return for helping me. You haven’t set me free yet.” “I released you from the dance,” he said. “And while you rested, I took your part in the bargain.” Thoughts of the shared bed sprung to Callie’s mind. A twist of bile coiled in her belly. “What do you mean you took my part?” she whispered, horror wiping her face clean. Rain’s eyes flashed with outrage. His chin raised, and he looked down his nose at her. “It is not what you accuse,” he said darkly. “I made you my wife.” Callie choked on a gasp. “You—you did what?” Rain’s face remained impassive. “I married you. That was the price of your freedom from the eternal dance.” “You married me?” shrieked Callie. Rain folded his arms over his chest. His biceps pressed against the thin black leather of his armour. Callie’s hands furled into fists. “You don’t know me! You don’t love me!” Her fingernails cut into her palms. “Are you insane?” Rain pushed himself from the dressing table and moved toward her. Callie recoiled and stumbled back. He might have strolled, but there was a lazy danger in the way he moved, like a tired beast, ready to attack at any moment. She only stopped backing away from him when she connected with the wall. He followed, caging her between the wall and his body, his eyes fuelled by a silent fury. ![]()
