Alyson wondered why it was that with each attempt, she⬠"!d been distracted by
the very man whose destiny she guarded. ⬠SIt seems, milord, that you enjoy
distracting me from my appointed duty.â¬
⬠SI admit that it true. Does the lady dislike my distractions?⬠he asked,
grinning back at her.
She smiled, her body tingling with the thought of his distraction methods. No, she
decided, she could wait for some time for the gods to decide when she should offer
him a reading. ⬠SNay, milord, your distractions please me very much. But I am no
more aware now than I was when the gods will choose to reveal your path.â¬
They rode in silence for a few moments and she sensed him digesting what
she⬠"!d said. She⬠"!d been told by one of Ambrosius⬠"!s servants that
he⬠"!d been sent to gather information of the commander, to find out more about
his past. But the information was still too vague. Whether this information was directly
related to Torin⬠"!s destiny remained to be seen and the gods would only reveal it
at the proper time.
Be his guide. He will need you.
Alyson raised her cheek from Torin⬠"!s back and listened. A warm summer
breeze brushed over her face as she searched the green valley stretched before
them. The change of seasons would one day be upon them and then she would be
called upon to be at his side. For what purpose she did not know.
⬠SAre you well?⬠Torin asked. His hand reached down and covered hers
protectively, squeezing it.
⬠SAye, milord. All is well. So may it be.â¬
About this Story
The time of the Dark Ages is largely very difficult to research. What few records
have been found are written by one or two monks of the day and from a very narrow
point of view. The rest is largely speculation based on archeological finds,
assumptions, theories and of course, legends.
This story then is a prequel to my Dark Ages Spice novel, Tortured. With many
readers asking to know what happened to my heroine⬠"!s younger brother in that
book, this story⬠Torin⬠"!s story⬠was thus born. But, as, in the novel, any
similarities of places, names, or events are used only for fictional purposes, not as
historical documentation. Writers live by the words, ⬠SWhat if⬠¦â¬ when they tell a
story. This story is no different in that aspect.
Â
Enjoy!

If you liked Forbidden Pleasures, pick up where the story left off in Tortured by
Amanda McIntyre, available now from Spice wherever books and ebooks are sold.
Ensnared in the war-torn, untamed Dark Ages of North England, Sierra
understands all too well what it takes to survive: the ability to numb the soul. She has
learned this lesson the hard way, watching her mother die at the hands of the
king⬠"!s henchmen, her brother cast out into the cold to perish, and discovering the
treacherous, leering king holds a crucial secret about her past.
But when he grants Sierra her life, she discovers the pardon is perhaps worse
than death. Sierra is made executioner⬠"!s apprentice, forced to witness
unspeakable suffering while encouraged to explore her own sexual power.
Brainwashed and exhausted, Sierra⬠"!s heart slowly grows cold⬠until Dryston
of Hereford is brought to the dungeon as traitor and spy. Using her sexual allure to
extract the warrior⬠"!s secrets, Sierra finds herself torn between duty and desire.
Soon, Sierra is craving the only man who can help set her battered soul free and give
her a chance for revenge⬠¦.
