Then one stormy night the superstitious Highlanders of Ballybliss decided to leave a helpless virgin bound to a stake in the castle courtyard to satisfy my insatiable appetites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy demands might strike terror in the hearts of men, but this bold beauty dared to defy me. After she informed me that she didn't believe in dragons, I had no choice but to make her my prisoner--or risk being exposed to those I had sought to deceive with my dangerous masquerade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon I found myself stealing into the moonlit tower just to watch her sleep.
