Chapter 4

Thera quickly but quietly made her way inside the bedchamber she shared with Rhea and Malva. It was dark inside but the moonlight shined through the window and she could see their sleeping forms on their pallets. She sighed in silent relief and quietly made her way to her own pallet. She slipped her sandals off and slid on the pallet onto her side and covered herself with a thin blanket.

She kept replaying her conversation with Prince Hector over and over again in her head. Somehow he managed to make her more aware of the situation instead of putting her at ease. Even though he assured her he would not use her as a concubine she still couldn�t put it out of her mind. What if they were gone for months even years? What would they do then? Would he force her to lay with him when the time came? Or would he be able to shun away his own nature, her own nature? When you put two people of the opposite sex together for a long period of time something is bound to happen. It wasn't a matter of right and wrong it was a matter of natural instinct.

Thera shifted to her back with a frustrated sigh and stared at the ceiling. She felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she said no she felt that they would be disappointed with her to a certain degree. If she said yes she would be in Prince Hector's presence continuously for an undetermined amount of time. It could be a month it could be two years or more. That was one of the drawbacks of war you never knew when the terror would end.

She closed her eyes and tried to relax hoping sleep would take her soon. She had a week to come to a decision and she wanted to be sure before she got herself into something she could not retreat from.

With thoughts of the day still running through her mind she fell into a restful slumber and dreamed.

Hector slowly came too as a warm breeze came through the wide windows of his and Andromache's bedchamber. He sat up and opened his eyes to see Andromache sitting in her wicker chair weaving a blanket.

She noticed him awake and smiled her beautiful smile. "Good morning, " she greeted warmly.

He smiled back still slightly drowsed, "Morning�why are you up so early?"

She shrugged, "I was tossing and turning trying to get some rest and I was afraid I would wake you."

He laid back and propped his upper body up by his elbows with the blanket still covering his lower half. "You should know by now I can't sleep unless you're with me, " he said knowingly as if it were common knowledge. That was how deep their bond went. She was one of the only reasons he could sleep peacefully. In the middle of the night he would reach out to make sure she still slumbered beside him and when he was pacified he would fall back into a deep sleep.

"I know, I've only been up for an hour or so, " she shook her head teasingly. "I don't understand how you manage to get any rest when you're away."

"I don't, " he stated as he sat up and propped himself against the headboard. He made himself comfortable and busied himself by watching her. She seemed to be oblivious to his watchful eye. He watched the way she weaved and her facial expressions. It was obvious something troubled her or she wouldn't be so vigorous with her task. "Do you want to tell what is bothering you?" he asked softly.

"Bothering me?" she repeated as if she didn't understand the question never taking her eyes away from her weaving.

He watched her a moment longer hoping she would look at him so he could read her eyes better. "Something is bothering you, " he noted still in that same soft tone he always used to get what he wanted. "Is it Thera?" he asked knowing it would get a reaction from her at least.

"What of Thera?" she glanced at him but continued her work.

"Andromache, " he wanted to get her attention and she was being so dismissive. "Will you stop that for a moment?" he said in an annoyed tone as he sat forward to let his arms hang over his bent knees.

She stopped and met his gaze, "What?" Their eyes met and she could see he wanted to talk about the present situation.

"I spoke with Thera last night, " he stated with as much understanding as he could manage.

"And?" she asked as she started to fold her fabric knowing she would not be permitted to continue for a while.

"What did you say to her yesterday afternoon?" he asked in a mild accusing tone.

A bewildered expression crossed her face as she folded the fabric, "What do you mean what did I say to her? I spoke with her about accompanying you on your journey."

He rolled his eyes briefly, "Yes I know that, but what did you tell her? When I ran into her last night she acted like a scared rabbit as if I were going to pounce her."

She finished and stood from her chair with a cynical snort, "How else would you expect a virgin to act in front of the man that would soon be the one who would take your virginity?" She placed the blanket on a shelf and started to straiten things up.

Hector groaned in frustration, "Andromache! Why did you tell her such lies?"

"I did not lie to her Hector she must be prepared for what is to come, " she stated plainly as she continued to pillage around the room. She couldn't understand why Hector was being so bull headed. A man had physical and if she were not there to provide for him than Thera could.

"I have no intentions of bedding Thera, " he said firmly. "How could you think I would do such a thing?"

It was her turn to roll her eyes. "Hector please, I am not naïve enough to think that you would stay faithful to me when I cannot provide for you, " she rushed.

"That is not why I love you, " he retorted. "If it were purely physical then yes I would have no qualms about taking another woman into my bed."

"Paris doesn't seem to have a problem with it, " she muttered.

Hector huffed, "Paris is still a boy. He has no conception of what love is or means. The women he beds are merely a momentary infatuation." Then it hit him like a pile of rocks. "That's how you want me to view Thera?" When she didn't respond he knew he spoke the truth. "Andromache she is still a child and even though she is a servant I see her as a person. I would never be able to use her like that I couldn't live with myself. Why do you think I have never taken a concubine before?"

Still she did not answer him.

"Andromache answer me!" he commanded.

"I don't want you to take on a concubine!" she blurted as she faced him with furry in her eyes. "But dammit Hector I am no fool!" She stopped and took a deep breath. She walked over to him and sat on the bed in front of him. She met his eyes and it surprised him to find what he saw�understanding.

"I know you love me and would never leave for another, " she stated compassionately. "And I would never leave you for another."

"I will not take her as a substitute for you, " he said lowly. "I will give her the title to protect her but nothing more."

She smiled warmly and reached up to caress her face. "I trust her too you know, " she said. "She has been our servant since we've been together and she knows us, she knows the bond we share. But she also knows if she is called to duty she will up hold it to the best of her ability�not because we force her�but because she would be willing." She pushed a few stray curls away from his face. "I wouldn't love you any less Hector."

Her last statement stuck into him like a blade. She was truly willing to accept the fact he might lay with another woman just for his own needs.

"I love you, " he whispered.

She leaned forward and kissed him tenderly, "I love you�"
