heaven?” Aldric mocked her. “Did you come down here to stop your little daughter from harming ‘your people?’”
     
    “You knew I would have to come after what you did to her. It is my job to look after my daughter and train her in the ways of the sun.”
     
    Aldric smirked. “Well done.”
     
    Saule threw back her head and screamed, the sound echoing off the stone walls of the chamber. The pain and frustration thick in the sound soothed Aldric’s spirit and calmed him in a way her soft pleas had not. Finally, he had reached her. Finally, he had some evidence that she felt a fraction of the pain he’d felt when he’d lost his home.
     
    “Two centuries ago when you turned your back on my people, it was a vampire who offered me an alternative,” Adlric said calmly. “It was she who opened her arms to me, she who soothed my pain. She showed me how futile it was to rely on others, how the only way to be truly safe is to gain the power you need to defend yourself. She helped me to become strong, strong enough that I no longer need to rely on duplicitous deities whose attentions cannot be relied on. That is what she did for me and what I did for your daughter.” He stepped closer to Saule, reaching out with gentle hands to brush her golden hair back from her face as his cock prodded her belly. “It is what I am going to do for you.”
     
    “That is your plan for revenge?” Saule ground out. “You raped my daughter and now you are going to rape me?”
     
    Aldric smiled, unfazed by her attempts to push him back to anger. “Your daughter is the one person on this earth that you truly care for.” He leaned in, putting his mouth next to her ear. “She is a vieschtitsa now. You can see her, speak with her, but you cannot take her back to the heavens with you.” He laid a gentle kiss on her neck, pleased at the way she tensed in apparent fury. “She is earthbound here with me.”
     
    “Bastard,” Saule sobbed.
     
    “And now that you hate me,” Aldric continued, reveling in her angry tears, “it will be all the more painful for you to look back on this night and remember how you submitted to me. How you begged me—”
     
    “Never!”
     
    Aldric smiled and drew a hand up the side of her body, his fingers playing over her smooth skin. Her calm façade had cracked and the glimpses he got of her temper delighted him, promising a passionate encounter worthy of his vengeance.
     
    He spoke with his lips against her ear. “Before I sheath my cock in your wet folds, you will beg me to take you. I will bring you such pleasure, your skin will glow like the sun and light this cavern like a hearthfire.” Desire burned in his veins, his blood rushing to his cock until he strained hard and aching against the flesh of her stomach. “I am going to make you shine.”
     
    “What are you waiting for?” Saule hissed through clenched teeth. “If you think you can make me glow, I would love to see you try.”
     
    Aldric smiled. “Ah,” he said softly. “There it was.”
     
    Saule frowned, confusion momentarily marring her features. “There’s what?”
     
    “The invitation I was waiting for.”
     
    With a few quick gestures, he silently told two of his guards to hold their posts while beckoning the other two. Anton and Kurt stepped forward, their eyes taking on an eager light as they eyed the woman before them.
     
    Aldric stepped behind Saule, molding his body against her. Heat swirled through her veins and standing this close to her, he could feel it almost as if that heat flowed through his own vessels. He leaned closer, relishing her warmth and drawing in the scent of her hair. She smelled of flowers.
     
    “I would like you to meet Kurt and Anton,” he whispered, closing his eyes as he brushed his cheek against her hair. “Do not be surprised if their faces are etched into your beautiful brain after this night.”
     
    “And what have I done to them that they must take part in my
