"Ah, rin "But you aren’t trying to steal froars free of charge You so owe htly "What have you learned?"

"I’ll tell you when I’m sure we’re alone Wouldn’t want anyone to hear and think I actually enjoy helping my friends" William led him down the hall and around the corner, then shouldered a portion of the wall--it opened, revealing a secret passage Kane hadn’t yet discovered They entered the torch-lit space and pounded up a flight of creaking steps

"Well," the warrior began, as proood friend Paris is screwing Sienna, the new ruler of the Titans He also learned Sabin and Strider are whipped by Harpies, and that Lucien had his balls removed by Anarchy He fears your family and wants to be a part of it, whatever the cost"

"Wow, so infor the facts stated so plainly, he had to wonder how deeply the king’s desire ran Enough to finally clai Kane to wed her rather than the princess?

WedTink, he thought Tink His bride His wife

His Forever

No! Disaster screamed, and the floor beneath Kane’s feet cracked I’ll kill her! Kill her so dead!

"Well, yeah It was my idea They liked what she did for theainst the wall, his hand wrapping around the leaet? I did you a favor You should appreciate having your enemy within reach I would"

Bit by bit Kane eased his hold "They can’t have her I’ll kill theht, anyway

"Were you hit in the head? Of course I know that Which is why I warned the boys about Lords of Pussywhip Manor and their women" William motioned to the closed door in front "And now, our little convo is over This is a door to your hallway Off you go, Candy Kane"

As quietly as possible, he fixed his lock and entered his roo, if she was ry; he wanted her relaxed, happy
