muscular that she couldn’t imagine him being able to maneuver something as delicate as a fork.  He had a band on each arm, outlining the taught muscles there. She was waiting for him to attack his food like an animal, but surprisingly, he ate quite civilized.  She knew she was staring, but couldn’t help herself.  She knew she should hate this man with everything in her heart and soul but still could only manage to gawk at him.
    Eriik knew she was staring at him because he was staring right back at her.  He was sure she hated him with a blind fury, but all he could think about was the most alluring emerald green eyes he had ever seen and how it accented her beautiful long dark hair.  It flowed down her back forcing one to notice how her back narrowed into a very graceful waist and shapely ass, just as he had imagined it would be, staring at her in the tower all those days.  Oh yes, he would definitely like to bury himself in between those thighs.  He could only imagine how beautiful they would be. 
    After a rather uncomfortable silence, they started an awkward conversation at first, which blossomed into quite an interesting one , which surprised Eriik.  He couldn’t imagine she would even talk to him.  Lillian was a curious girl and couldn’t get enough information about this gorgeous man from a land afar, especially how he learned to speak English, and Eriik couldn’t get enough of telling her.  After all, he could look at her while he was talking and that’s exactly where he wanted to be and what he wanted to do.  His men couldn’t help but notice what an idiot Eriik was being over this Saxon wench.  They couldn’t believe it.  Usually women threw themselves at him .  He was the one who besotted the lasses and he could pick and choose, never interested very long after tossing up their skirts.
    Eriik could tell that the man he moved was seething at his place at the table.  Every time Lillian or Eriik would laugh, he could see the look of rage on his face as if he wanted to punch Eriik in the face.  He would have loved to return the favor if he tried.  Finally he guessed this peacock would have no more of it as he strode across the room and leaned in between Lillian and Eriik. 
    “Excuse me, sir , and I use the term loosely.” He smiled an evil smile.  “I am Lord Simon Montfort and you are cavorting around with my intended and I won’t have it for another second!”
    Eriik smiled widely, “Intended what?”
    Lillian could hardly keep herself from smiling.
    “You simpleton, intended wife.  We are engaged to be wed.”
    Eriik’s eyes glazed over and he seemed to slip into a trance for an instant before he spoke again. “Well that is indeed unfortunate.”
    “Why is that?  What in the world business is it of yours?”
    Eriik arose and raised his chalice, “Lord and Lady, I’m afraid I have one more demand and it is non-negotiable.”
    Frederick looked truly defeated, “What could you possible ask of us now?”
    “Yes, just one more small requirement and you will be rid of me and my men forever.  He paused then stated sternly, “Your daughter must accompany me when we leave tomorrow.”
    He translated the demand for his men.
    An audible gasp came from the residents in the castle along with his own men, the biggest from across the room from his best friend.
    “ What?”  Bjorn swung around to face him.  “What the hell do we need with a bawling princess?  “By the gods, have you gone out of your bleeding mind?  What can you possibly be thinking? I can’t believe what I’m hearing.” 
    Lillian couldn’t either.  Leave her home, her parents.  Go with a complete stranger.  Go where?  To a foreign land among strange people and be a prisoner there?  All this seemed impossible.  Her father couldn’t possibly allow this.  He couldn’t, he wouldn’t!  Why was life so difficult, especially for a woman.  Why couldn’t a woman decide for herself what she would do and
