He took a single step forward, a step she had not anticipated. He came up hard against her, gripping her wrist with one hand and her waist with the other. He pushed her to the wall, where he took advantage of her softness and pressed his hips into her. He suppressed a groan. The noise was still torn from his throat when he said, "No need for that." He sounded harsh, guttural. He twisted her wrist sharply. Startled, she let go of the dagger. He saw the keen edge glimmer as it fell. The clattering as it hit the ground sounded hollow. He twisted her impossibly, until they were in an embrace that she could not break free of. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the room he had purchased. As he shut the door, she took a mental inventory of the exits. Two windows, one door. He shoved the door shut. The sound was like a gavel in it's finality.

He put his mouth on her neck, tasting her pulse as he pushed up her skirts and undid her braid, letting her hair spill over the blankets in glorious disarray. Her hands were on his arms but he did not heed her. He was unbuckling his belt. She could see that he was ready. She lay still now, afraid of him. This was a depraved man. He knew his enemy and sought to ruin her before he killed her. And she had no doubt now that he would kill her. He gazed at her with eyes blazing heat. How he must hate her, and yet he would still ravish her. He narrowed his eyes when she had no response to him. No response wasn't good enough. He threw his belt aside and lay on her again, but this time his hand snaked between them and tore her vest. She made a sound, an angry noise, and fought him. He pushed himself against her undergarments, rubbing himself on her. She shuddered and went still again. Smiling, he unlaced her shirt, pulling the material aside to expose one round breast.
