Prelude:
This story is set in medieval times in a fantasy world that does not exist. Any resemblance to people real or imagined is purely coincidental. If any characters in this story actually did exist, and they were involved in the sexual scenes described, they would be eighteen years of age or older.
Now that the disclaimer is done with, I hope you enjoy the story. Please feel free to let your imagination go wild, as usual, this is a story to stimulate your imagination, as well as your pleasure zones.
Unlike most of my previous stories, this one has many chapters.
I apologize for the time it has taken to continue this story. In part it is due to a nasty little virus that wreaked havoc on my computer. However, this story has taken a life of its own, leading me in directions I never considered when I started. It has gone through a couple rewrites, and the tale has truly begun to develop, the tale I first thought would be simple and straight forward has become a twisted convoluted tale of betrayal, lust for power, and greed. One would never believe the evil someone can stoop to until we see it. Enjoy!

Chapter 14
Ian rolled over in his bed, glaring at the door. The past week had been overwhelming; between Ricah and her insatiable appetite for sex, Ayra and her mood swings he thought he was going mad. Add to that his daily training in combat and he barely had energy to breath. The knock on the door sounded again and he growled under his breath.
"Come in." he shouted, knowing it wasn't Ricah. She never knocked.
The door opened and a young woman stepped inside. She was dressed in a plain brown dress that looked like it had been made from grain sacks. Her head was down, yet he recognized her instantly.
"Grisha?" he said, nearly jumping out of bed before he realized he was naked.
She held a finger to her lips as she pushed the door closed. Ian sat up, carefully arranging the blanket to cover his nakedness.
"It's good to..." he stammered, feeling suddenly strange as she walked toward him, her deep blue eyes locking his gaze.
"Milord, I hope I didn't wake you." She said, as she stopped a few feet from the bed.
"Please, it's Ian." He said, as he looked around for his pants.
They were hanging on the chair. She saw where he was looking and quickly grabbed them and handed them to him. As he slipped them on, she politely turned her back. Still, he found his cock hardening just by her presence.
"Is there something I can do for you?" he said, finally able to tuck his cock away and tie the pants.
"I... it's just... well, mother said I shouldn't meddle, but I can't help it." She said, turning to face him.
"What's going on?" Ian said, noticing the streaks on her cheeks, It was obvious she had been crying.
"I know you are, uhm, well you are ..." she looked at me, her face filled with fear.
"What is it, Grisha? You don't have to be afraid." Ian said, a sense of foreboding suddenly filling him.
"It's just, well... I guess the best way to do this is to show you." She said, stepping up to him and placing her hands on his cheeks.
Pulling his head down, she placed her lips against his. Ian was surprised, but as he felt her tongue dance across his lips, he felt a tingling sensation coming over him. His lips parted and her tongue slipped into his mouth. The tingling became like a fire, and his head started to swim. His thoughts became a jumbled mess, swirling around in his head until all he could think about was Grisha, and how he needed her.
His hands moved up, wrapping around her waist, pulling her to him. His cock pressed into her, burning with a need he couldn't control. His hands slid down, cupping her firm ass and pulling her harder against his cock. He needed her, the desire burning through him in an all-consuming blaze.
Suddenly, she broke the kiss, pushing him backwards. His head was spinning and he nearly fell, his hand reaching out for support as he gasped for breath. He felt her fingers gripping his, but his eyes wouldn't focus, all he could see was her face swirling in a sea of clouds.
"Ian. Ian!" she said sternly, her hand gripping his.
"I, uhm.." Ian muttered, slowly sitting on the bed.
"I am sorry, Milord." Grisha said, as she knelt in front of him. "The feeling will pass in a moment. But I have to ask you, have you felt this before, anything like this, even similar, but maybe not as overwhelming?"
"I, uhm..." Ian said, trying to reclaim his thoughts.
He could feel his cock pulsing, his own heartbeat pounding in his ears. Grisha's image flowed through his mind, her piercing blue eyes dancing across his vision. She was all that mattered, all that he wanted. He took a deep breath and blinked, his vision slowly clearing as the pounding in his head subsided.
"That was... I mean what...?" Ian said, staring at the young woman.
"It is important, Milord, I mean Ian." She said, taking his hands. "I need to know. Have you ever felt that before?"
"What? I don't... I mean that was... What happened?" Ian said snatching his hands back.
"Ian, this is vitally important. Think. Have you ever felt that before? Ever?" she cried, her voice sounding desperate.
"No, I... No, nothing anything like it." He replied as she reached out and grabbed his hands again.
"That's good. It means there is still time." Grisha said, her fingers squeezing his.
"Time for what?" Ian said, resisting the urge to pull his hands away again.
Whatever had just happened, whatever she had done, it scared him.
"Never mind. Just listen to me. Did you smell the odor on my breath just before I kissed you, the smell of wildflowers?"
"Yes, I... it was pleasant." Ian said, the memory of the odor tickling the back of his mind.
"Good. You must remember it, and whenever someone tries to kiss you... If someone tries to kiss you and you smell that, you are in danger." She said, squeezing his hands tightly.
Ian looked at her again, blinking several times until her face finally stayed in focus. She was truly beautiful. He stared at her, memorizing ever feature of her face. Even dirty and tear stained, her cheeks were smooth, and finely shaped. Her nose was slender, with a slight upturn at the tip that seemed almost regal. Her lips were full, begging to be kissed, and her eyes, he stared into her eyes, feeling himself starting to fall. She could take him away in her..."
"Ian!" she shouted, shaking him.
"I... I'm alright." He said, shaking his head. "It's just, it's just that I... I don't think I've... I've ever seen someone so beautiful." He blurted out, blushing as he realized he had actually said it out loud.
"It's just the after effects." Grisha said, her face turning crimson. "You will be alright in a few minutes."
Ian leaned his head down, breathing deeply. Every breath was a struggle, yet every exhale seemed to lift the fog that filled his mind. The tingling sensation slowly faded and he looked up, smiling as he looked into Grisha's eyes. She was truly beautiful, yet it didn't seem so overwhelming now.
"I... I think I'm fine." He said, shifting his position and unclasping her hands. "What was..."
"It is called Siren's Tears, but some mistakenly call it a love potion. I watered it down a bit so the effects wouldn't last, but the onset can still be rather intense." Grisha said, standing up and moving to the side.
Ian turned his head, keeping her in his line of sight. Not wanting to lose sight of her.
"It is nearly over, Milord." She said, as she slid a chair close to him and sat down.
"But, I mean who would want to... I mean who would give me a love potion?" He said, finally able to look away and not feel uncomfortable.
"I think you know, Milord." She said, her lips curling into a slight smile.
"Ricah? I mean why would she..." Ian said, almost shouting.
Grisha shook her head.
"Ricah doesn't care about love. She just wants power."
"Then who?" Ian said grasping Grisha's hand.
Grisha bit her lip, uncertain if she should say. Ian was under enough stress already, and she wasn't certain adding to that was a good idea. Still, she had already gone too far to turn back. Besides, he was in danger, and not knowing would put him in even more danger.
"I think you know." She said, her hand reaching out to touch his.
He jerked his hand back, staring at her. He wanted to believe she was wrong, that she was mistaken, but deep down he knew something wasn't right. Ayra wasn't the same anymore.
