Captive Slave 135

Chapter 135

LORD HEROD

Time grew short as Lord Herod scrambled to prepare.

He dispatched his male soldiers and urgently requested female guards from Lord Jakal. He ordered enough supplies to last three days and held an emergency meeting with his steward, bailiffs, and head farmers. He informed them of his impending absence, delegated responsibilities, and provided detailed instructions to ensure the smooth operation of work and his estate while he was unavailable.

It had taken longer than usual, and by the time he returned to the cottage in the early afternoon, a sliver of worry crept into his mind. Would Emeriel still be there?

Females in full heat tended to run away. So crazed with need, driven by instincts to flee, in search of a male to sate them.

Relief flooded him as he entered the cottage and found her still pacing the room, a whirlwind of restless energy. But the moment he crossed the threshold, her scent hit him like a storm. Bloody hell, it has gotten even stronger. Choking. Intoxicating.

Females in full heat smelled amazing, and Emeriel was no different. Herod had never seen her as anything more than his young friend, which is why he had struggled with the idea of helping her through her heat.

But the potent scent pouring from her stirred a hunger in him. A deep, raw lust.

He swallowed hard, pushing down the rising tide of desire.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice sounded strained even to his own ears.

"Can't ex-explain it," Emeriel stammered, her words punctuated by ragged breaths. She resumed her frantic pacing, her fingers raking at her arms, leaving angry red marks in their wake
