Law's been urged to get a sex slave by many before he weds the "right" woman of royalty, but he's never thought about actually doing it. Until he sees Larissa sashay across the stage. She's angry, spunky, and beautiful. Before he knows what he's doing, he's bid on her. And won her.

Larissa's not happy to be won. She's not a sex slave and has no intention of doing what Law or anyone else wants. She soon comes to learn she's been bought by the Prince of Bergogia. Only being royalty has him in as many chains as a slave. With luck, a little hot, heady sex will win him over, and he'll let her go.

Larissa's plan backfires, and Law's more interested than ever. And so is she. But Law can't keep her forever on the side and she can't be his bride. Will Larissa be Law's downfall or his deliverance?

Law eyed him. "Going with me?"

"Of course. Someone has to watch your back." Rhyd crunched his body into a shape that would fit in the passenger seat. "And your front, too. Especially with you going after the hellcat."

"Not piloting?" Law clambered in.

"Hell, no. Not this time." Rhyd leaned back in the seat. "You'll do the flying. I need to make sure we bring in your wildcat without getting you killed. Me, I get banged up, no one will say too much. You, and they'd be calling for the hellion's head. If they aren't already."

"Her name is Larissa."

Rhyd shrugged. "Whatever. She'd be better off if you let her go. You know that, don't you?"

Law looked down at a blinking control. He pushed a button and pulled up the steering column. "The hell you say."

For a moment after he spoke, he considered Rhyd's words. It would be so easy to go back and say they hadn't found her. Some would look, but how hard would they? Especially if he didn't.

But something in him rebelled at the notion. Selfish bastard that he was, he wanted her still, no matter what the costs. Something lay unfinished between them. And maybe always would, but Law had to attempt to see whatever was between them through.

"They'll whip her. For what she did."

"That bastard touched her." Law's hands clenched until the knuckles were almost white. "She should've kicked him in the balls instead of only scratching up his face."

"You know as well as I do it doesn't matter what he did. She's a slave. And she struck a member of the royals."

It didn't make it right, but Law wouldn't say that. Instead, he surveyed the land that blurred in front of them. "Where would she go?"

Rhyd sighed at Law's change of subject. "As far away from you as she can get. She's probably heading for the other side of the kingdom near Glass country so she can escape through there. If we're going after her, that's where we should head."

Law turned the controls in that direction.

Rhyd frowned, but didn't say anything more. He had been giving Law one last chance to let her go.

Law told himself retrieving her was for her protection. A slave could get in so much trouble out there alone.

It was bullshit.

They flew low, scanning.

Rhyd pointed. "There she is."

"Thank goddess."

"Law." Rhyd spoke low, the sound rumbling deep in his chest. "She's trouble for you. You know that, too, don't you?"
