Chapter 6
Hi I'm back, sorry this is such a short chapter but it was originally a really long chapter but I split it in to two because some how it made more sence to me. the second will follow shortly
Thank you all for your kind reviews.
Alphabet Junkie. = I was ever so thrilled you reviewed me.I love getting reviews from Authors I concider awesome. You fall into this rank. I am glad you have enjoyed what you have read so far. I haven't as yet set a time zone as I really haven't set it I only have planned an estimate. So I still have that flexability. If you notice I also state that the kings know their 'fortunes' and kingdoms can no longer survive like that. It shows how both of the kings value their treasures and luxuaries and so on over their people. I hope you like this next chapter.
Happy reading and reviewing!
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Branwen galloped through the forest, Ferus’ swift hooves carried them through the thick undergrowth, Branches grabbed and scratched at them, tearing her skin and clothing. Branwen could barely keep her grip on the animal beneath her but she didn’t much care. She just wanted to escape and be free of her father’s beliefs and her husband’s passions.
She could barely see the path ahead for the tears that clouded her vision nor did she care to, she let the horse run where it pleased. Though when the horse came to a sudden stop she was thrown from her saddle she landed in the thick undergrowth her head colliding with a thick tree root. The world blurred and faded and she fell into darkness and welcomed the emptiness there.

The Bush and grass was lush and thick and made tracking difficult even though the track was fresh, the going was slow and worry and fear sunk into Jared’s stomach making him feel sick.
“So you going to tell me what the hell is going on?” Brad said looking to his friend as they followed the hidden trail.
“She caught me fucking two harem girls.” He said guilt heavy in his voice and his teeth grit in anger.
“Why’d you do a stupid thing like that for?” Brad said staring at his friend with a mixture of disapproval, disgust and disbelief.
“You know after you dropped me off last night, I almost raped her” Jared said softly. “She doesn’t want sex with me, she just puts up with it because she believes it’s her duty but I didn’t want that. It’s no better than rape. I haven’t touched her since our wedding night, we’ve barely learnt anything about each other we both avoid spending time together yet I am only a man and I have desires, lusts and sometimes I don’t always get things right."
He paused thoughtfully willing the right words to come to him so that he could explain.
"At night I am always in close contact with her. I’ve been having problems controlling my desire, having something you know you could have but you deny yourself messes with your mind and when I got drunk last night, I was horny and I couldn’t deny myself or my lust and I was so close to raping her it was frightening for us both. I think. So I did the whores to try and resolve some of my lust.”
“Ah…” it was all Brad could say as his mind struggled to absorb the information and try and make something positive out of it. “but that explains the question she asked me before I sent her to go get you”
“What Question?” Jarred asked eagerly.
“She asked me if she was desirable” he said bluntly “My guess is you haven’t touched her or looked at her in a sexual way since your wedding night and when you’re drunk you want her. She felt used and she doubts herself because now it seems like you only want her when you are drunk.”
“Fuck and now she see’s that…. And now she bolts” he growled angrily.

When Branwen came around, she was moving, a pair of powerful arms carried her, she opened her eyes and blinked a few times until her vision cleared. She did not know the man who carried her but he did look somewhat familiar. He notice her awake and smiled.
“It’s ok Princess, you’re ok and you’re safe. You took a nasty bump to the head. You’re lucky I found you.”
“Who...” she began but he shushed her.
“I am Gordon, Jared’s Cousin” he said “we’ll be back at the castle soon and get you something for the head ache you must have. But why were you so far from home without an escort?”
Branwen turned her face away she didn’t want to talk about it. How did she know she could trust him?
“Don’t worry whatever you tell me here will be our secret, I promise” he said. Branwen exhausted and still upset nodded once.
“I was running away, I just needed to be free, of this cage of this humdrum of a life I am looking at living.” She said softly
“What has he done to make you feel like this?” he said his voice filled with concern.
“He was meant to come watch me ride today, but when I went to fetch him I caught him…” she fell silent.
“Having sex with another woman” he finished for her softly. “He is a fool. If you ever need any one to talk to, you can always talk to me. No pressure or rules just friends”
“I think I’d like that” she said softly.
“Now you got to keep talking the one thing I know about head wounds is the patient must keep talking. So tell me all about yourself.”
* * *
It was her laughter they heard before Branwen and Gordon came into sight. Jared heart leapt and sank at the same time. He was glad she was safe but it saddened him because she laughed and joked with everyone but him he wondered whether they’ll ever achieve that now.
“Branwen are you ok” He asked eagerly rushing towards her but the look she gave him stopped him in his tracks.
“She seems ok, took a nasty tumble off her horse, hit her head. I found her unconscious” Gordon said “In fact the whole reason I came to visit was to meet this wonderful lady I guess I can go home now”
“Not at all my cousin, come, your room is how you left it and I am sure Branwen is most thankful for you finding her as am I” he said patting his cousin’s shoulder. He mounted his horse and Brad lifted Branwen to sit in front of Jared. Though she put no fight up to stop him, it was obvious she was most displeased.
They rode back to the castle a stiff polite conversation barely running through the mounting tension.
When they reached the castle grounds Brad was left with the horses, Gordon went to eat and bathe. Jared began escorting Branwen to their room and had sent for a doctor. He just opened his mouth to try to talk to her and explain when she silenced him.
“Don’t, just don’t. I don’t want your excuses. I don’t want your promises and I don’t want your lies. Just don’t” she said walking ahead of him. She had never spoken to him like that before, it left him stunned and shaken. All he wanted to do was explain but it was clear to him that she was not willing to listen. He called her ladies made and left them to wait for the healer to come and check her head while he went to bathe and to clear his head.
Thank you all for your kind reviews.
