About this ebook
At first, Benedict is reluctant to give into forbidden desires, but he cannot resist the enigmatic sorcerer’s pull. Yet when he surrenders to his lust, he’s also not sure whether it’s of his own free will or because of a spell Warin cast on him.
As the men grow closer, however, they realize that when the ransom is paid, Benedict must be released and Warin must flee from punishment. Will they be able to end their passionate affair and separate, or will they fight to stay together, even if it means facing the king’s wrath?

Chapter 1
Warin of Lymouth watched the procession of horses passing on the road from his perch in the tree above. Crouched perilously on the thickest branch, he leaned forward, searching the riders for the one he sought.
No, not that one. Next…no.
There!
Warin stretched as far as he could, craning his neck, watching his prey. The man he sought, Benedict, was protected, surrounded by a small but well-armed group. He didn’t worry about that. Though the men protecting his prey were all seasoned warriors, hired by his intended victim’s father to guard him on his journey, they would offer Warin no trouble.
He watched them passing his location, his gaze fixed on Benedict the entire time. A slight afternoon breeze moved Benedict’s blond hair. The guards with him were dressed in mail, but Benedict himself hadn’t bothered. No doubt he believed his warriors would prevent anything from happening.
For just the briefest moment, Warin stared at the man’s broad muscled back, enjoying the ripple of the material as it strained when he moved. Warin’s cock perked up. Not at all convenient. He needed to help his sister Eleanor, and allowing his physical attraction for Benedict to muddle his thoughts would be unwise.
Warin’s boot slipped on the branch and he struggled to regain his footing. Unfortunately, he caught the attention of the warrior riding directly behind Benedict.
Who is there?
the man called, reining his horse to a stop.
Warin lost his struggle to stay on the branch and plummeted to the ground. He landed with a painful thud and, for just a moment, lost his breath. Face down in the dirt, he heard shouts all around him. He was abruptly turned over.
The big oaf who’d spotted him grabbed his shoulders and shook. Who are you? What do you want?
Unhand him, Samson.
Benedict’s blond head appeared in place of the oaf’s.
He was ridiculously handsome. Truth be told, Warin had never admired blond men particularly. Most fair-haired men would be nearing baldness by maturity, but Benedict’s honey blond hair was rich and full. An unruly lock spilled out to cover one of his sky blue eyes. Actually, he was very nearly pretty…no…beautiful. He had high cheekbones, a perfect aquiline nose, and slightly darker lashes that swept over those extraordinary eyes.
Warin sighed.
Benedict frowned. Are you injured?
My lord, please allow me to handle this,
the oaf protested, trying to take Benedict away.
Pray do not accost me so, Samson.
You are under my protection, my lord. You must allow me to take care of this knave,
Samson said grimly.
Benedict shook his head. He is unarmed and fallen. He can hardly harm me.
Warin resisted the smile that pulled at his lips. So Benedict thought him no threat? He let out a low groan and touched his head.
Benedict tsked. You are hurt. Samson, we must take this man with us and see to his injuries.
Absolutely not. He fell from a tree, my lord Benedict. He was no doubt up to nefarious deeds. He is not some wounded bird to be mended.
Warin decided Samson was completely tedious.
Samson grabbed Benedict by the shoulders and moved him away. He leaned back over Warin and snarled, Who are you and why are you watching us? Hmm?
Very well, so they weren’t going to take him with them and make it a bit easier on themselves. So be it. Good strong air once more filling his lungs, Warin struggled to sit up. He glanced around quickly, taking the positions of all his opponents.
He waved his hand at Samson, flinging him violently against the nearest tree.
Samson,
Benedict gasped. He turned his wide-eyed stare to Warin. He’d
