Pale porcelain flesh shined in the dancing firelight. That hair pouring to her hips in a riot of wild waves. Fat curls framing the bottom of pert breasts with jutting nipples. Her shoulders tapered to the thin lines of her waist and then the flare of her hips which were so full that the only bony portion was the line which veered over the curve and down her pelvis. To the narrow dusting of red hair which guarded her woman's place.
His eyes skid from that place he intended soon to be nestled up to that face. Such a pretty face.
Her vivid green eyes snapping with fury. Under arching red brows which tapered to a small, upturned nose.
Everything about her is petite. Disseus' eyes roved her in wonder. Recognizing the delicate but well-honed body.
The body of a woman as apt to carry a bucket of water as wield a dagger.

"I'm Nim Pifh." The woman declared. Shooting Disseus a meaningful look as she added. "The Huntress."
"Huntress..." Disseus murmured the words nearly reverently. His voice echoing with power in such a way that everyone in the tavern who hadn't yet noticed the odd little trio now silenced and turned.
Undoubtedly taking in a handy view of her lovely backside with the two swollen globes begging to be squeezed.
Lon was looking from one to the other in confusion. Having never seen Disseus stare at a woman so intently.
Nodding made her hair jostle around her shoulders and twining curls bounce over small pert breasts. Curling tips toying with her dusky rose nipples.
A quick look at Lonnix revealed he was struggling to maintain his focus.
Disseus frowned. Visibly displeased.
***
Can't blame him. Disseus couldn't recall seeing any other woman of such perfection.
As intended, she held the undivided attention of every man in the tavern now.
What's the wench pulling?
Hands flat on the table, she leaned so far forward she nearly pressed her forehead to Disseus's. "Mistake me not. I know who you are...Feral. I've been looking for you."
Don't call me that here.
Feral was his assassin's name. One he didn't like being bandied about.
Disseus turned away letting his head loll weakly onto Lonnix's shoulder. Sputtering incoherently and feigning a sound awfully close to a whimper.
Lonnix patted his head. "You're upsetting my brother with all this crazy talk. No one has seen hide nor hair of the Feral in the last thirty years."
"Yes." She barely spared Lonnix a sideways glance. "But I'm no stranger to guises. And believe me when I say that if I shout now who he is. Every man in this worthless tavern Lonnix be hanging on my every word."
They Lonnix. They can't look away. A quick look around the room ascertained the truth of her words.
Drooling mask dissolving, Disseus leaned across the table. Slamming his elbows onto the wood with a resounding thud and giving her a long study. Bones moving beneath his skin to reform and jut into squared features.
Lonnix looked back and forth between them. "He wants to know what you want?"
"I want to free my son and kill the Demon King."
Lonnix scoffed. "Woman you're crazy! That's a death mission. Battling Valley alone Lonnix kill you."
"I find that unlikely." Face expressionless, she met Lonnix's gaze unwaveringly. "I'll have the best protection anyone can. A creature known to be beyond anything wild." She eyed Disseus.
Both men looked at her.
She met their gazes proudly and at length lifted a haughty brow in challenge.
"I'm listening." Disseus's gaze blatantly assessed her exposed curves.
"Not here." Lonnix shot. "Let's take her upstairs before she gets herself ravaged." Lonnix eyed slack mugs dripping ale and jaws matching. Glittering eyes looked at her greedily.
They all want a chance at her.
"Hmm." He purred. "Agreed. Let's take her upstairs." His meaning was clear.
"Will you come up to our chambers discuss the matter further?" Lonnix gestured toward the steps heading up to the bedchambers.A dangerous proposition for a lady indeed.Fortunately, she's not a lady. Disseus eyed the red-haired woman.Giving them a defiant look, green eyes still sparking, she swept up her cloak and aimed for the steps. Pulling her cloak back on and her hood up. Lacing it at her throat. But leaving a crack in the cloak which revealed the dark shadow of her belly button and the rounded plane of her pelvis as well as the dark crevice of her cleavage, hinting at the inner edge of the two rounded globes."I dearly hope you brought more clothes than that." Disseus murmured.A lie. I truly hope she hasn't so I can have access to that fine body whenever I wish it. The concept was quite tempting despite that he was sure he wasn't the only blackguard in this tavern that was considering such things. A glance back down over his shoulder verified that he was correct indeed.They'
Disseus winced as though she'd slapped him."You" He raged closing in again. "chose to marry that simpering weakling.""Don't you bring Baron into this." She stuck a finger in his face.Baron. A Weak name for a weak beast."You mean the man whose arms you ran to when you fled mine?" Disseus swatted her hand from his face."Yes." She hissed eyes narrowing. And small pointed chin jutting. "That Baron.""The one that died from the loss of you because he was too weak" He said the word with his face contorted in disgust. "to come find you?"So furious she was shaking, her lips tightened. "You don't know what you're talking about!""The devil I don't." Disseus snapped."I'd have torn Hell apart to find you." Disseus grated out. "Yes. We'll help you, pathetic little creature that you are. But not because I wish to help you. Because of what you'll do to repay me."The things I'll have you doing.Chest heaving, fire lit her eyes at his provocation. Enraged that he'd dare propose such a bargain
She grimaced and didn't move. Her feelings warring on her face.Staring at her with burning intensity, he didn't blink. Knowing that glancing away for even a moment could get her the opportunity to get away.You're not getting away from me this time until I'm well and truly done. His jaw tightened until the muscle ticked.He nudged her thighs apart with his thighs then lowered to kneel on the floor. Catching her narrow hips, he drug her ass to the edge of the bed. He reached up and caught her bottom jaw. Pulling it down until her eyes met his.Until she could no longer look away. Despite that her gaze was written with resentment."You'll get over it." He told her. Licking his fingertips and rubbing her opening until he felt her moisten deliciously.Tempting enough to taste.***"Disseus..." She pleaded.As though I'd stop. He snorted. Becoming only more determined at the prospect.He shook his head warningly. "Don't do that. You'll only be wasting your time."He entered her, hard.She
Her head fell forward and her gaze was hateful. Resenting him for everything he was doing to her. For everywhere his hands touched.For everything she knows I'm going to yet do to her."Hate me all you wish. It won't change what I'm going to do. Over and over...And again." He pressed his lips to the shell of her ear. "Whenever I wish."He lifted her off him dispassionately and tossed her back on the bed. "Be ready to ride a horse at first light."His gaze skid over her from head to toe. Eyeing ever bit of bared flesh hungrily.He rose and aimed for the door."Good! Leave." She lurched up to shout.He stepped through the door and leaned to talk through it before closing it. "Don't worry, Sweetheart. I'll be back later if I've more need of you tonight.""Don't you dare!""Oh, I dare." He smirked."It was lovely by the way." He gave her body a last, lingering look."Get out! Get out!"He closed the door slowly to antagonize her.His triumphant grin turned to full laughter as the first ob
Hands snapping out, he caught the neckline before she could react and ripped it down the front.Freeing her breasts and the flat plane of her belly marred only by the hollow of the small belly button. The motion making the small breasts bounce ripely.His body instantly responded to the sight of the dusky crests of her nipples on the smooth white orbs. He was tempted to stroke himself between them.I will. He promised himself. Soon enough.She hissed in fury and lifted her arm with the dagger. Making all that flesh move deliciously.He pushed her bicep back down and caught her wrist. Shaking the blade loose and kicking it away. Dismissing it as easily as he had every other effort she'd made to keep him at bay."You're a fiend.""More than that." He pointed up. "Nightfall, My Dear. You're mine to enter.""Despicable." She said contemptuously. Her lip curling derisively."Ssh." He put a finger to her lips and started backing her up to the bed as he pulled his tunic off and tossed it asi
Disseus must've fallen asleep because he woke lying next to her naked. A hand resting comfortably on his belly. Surrounded by the scent of her. And her softness along his arm and shoulder. His body was instantly responding.He caught her hip and rolled her atop him."Oh, no you don't!" She struggled against his grip. "It's first light and you'll leave my chamber immediately!""You think that'll save you?""Yes.""It only buys you time, Sweetheart. Time I'll spend deciding how I'll have you next.""Get out." She shoved him out of the bed, but he landed on his feet in a crouch.Animal reflexes unfailing.She bundled his clothes and threw them at him. Pointing toward the door.She was lying awake. Waiting for the sun to send its first fingers over so she could banish me. It irked him.He dressed and stepped out.And the door was promptly slammed behind him.He rounded and pressed his face to the door. "Time to get up and get on our way!" He shouted through the wood. "Hope you slept well.
"I said I'm hungry!" Nim screamed at the top of her lungs. Incredibly frustrated from strain, being awoken too early, from hunger and from dealing with the worst mount in history.Lonnix covered his ears to block out the shrill enraged sound. A wretched sound which seemed to echo through the thick trunks.Likely summoning every bandit for the next six miles. Disseus stoney gaze flicked to her in vague annoyance. Fully aware of why she was so pissed off.And not too far behind, myself."We men have no need to stop." Disseus said confidently despite that both he and Lon knew Lonnix's stomach had been uttering complaints for several hours.Gargling like a drunkard snoring in a tavern.Those were the last words, Disseus would say before she soundly knocked him off his horse. Propelling a rock the size of her fist, into his chest with extraordinary force.To her credit, she had tolerated much ribbing already this morning.***"A rock?" Using the ground for leverage Disseus leapt back to hi
She gasped. Lip curling in contempt. "You've become so foul.""No. I merely lost all respect for you." He rubbed her opening with two fingers feeling her slick and ready.His eyes widened as he withdrew his fingers slightly to examine them. "You already want my cock, don't you?"Her expression hardened and she refused to take his biting.He lowered his voice and turned it taunting. "So quick to dampen."Pressing his fingers more deeply into her and curling them forward in a way he knew would send a surge of wetness pouring from her. The spot that makes her weak.She glared hatefully at him. Locking her jaw rather than answering him.He smirked. "Me too."I already want inside you. Now. He pushed the two fingers more violently into her. Watching her reaction with interest.***She gasped and stood on her toes to escape the sensation. Her hands landing on his shoulders as though she considered stopping him.Good luck. He glared at her. A muscle in his jaw ticking. Every moment he consid
