Read The Dark King for Free Online Page A

any moment, she expected him to burst through the stone. Even when the horrific noises stopped, Taylor continued on. The guards she passed didn't try to impede her, but they did follow her movements.
    She turned right and stumbled down another hall. Darn cave! Everything looked the same. She continued to jog. Taylor didn't care where she ended up as long as she got far away from Hades. Maybe she should run all the way to the King of New Atlantis and turn herself in. Eros would deport her on the spot, but that was better than being eaten by a Monster Kitty.
    Several of the guards watched her breasts bounce as she sprinted by. Taylor clutched her arms over her bountiful chest and kept moving. She could see the opening of the cave up ahead. She was almost out. Freedom came with the smell of fresh air.
    Two huge guards stepped into her path as she reached the entrance. They didn't bother to pull the massive swords hanging at their waists. They didn't need to, not when their bodies were the size of boulders. Gorgeous boulders , she noted, but boulders all the same. Taylor yelped and ground to a halt, nearly running into them.
    "No one is allowed past this point without an escort into the Walled City," the pale-haired giant on the right said.
    Taylor looked back, but no one was following her. "Hades gave me permission to leave." The lie slipped from her full lips without her feeling an ounce of guilt. When a Monster Kitty was after you, little white lies didn't mean a whole lot.
    The raven-haired man on the left stepped forward. "What is your name, little one?"
    "T-taylor," she sputtered.
    He smiled. "I am called Perseus." He indicated to the man next to him. "This is Kon."
    It was nice to see that not all the men around here were brutes. She grinned at Perseus, whose gaze had dropped to her cleavage. "Nice to meet you," Taylor said, glancing over her shoulder once more. Maybe her luck would hold out for a little while longer.
    As an exotic dancer, Taylor wasn't above using her body to get what she wanted. She inhaled deeply, causing her large breasts to quiver beneath her shirt, then cocked her jean-clad hips to draw attention to her long legs. She tangled her fingers in her red hair and twirled the long locks. "I was worried that there were no gentlemen on this planet. I’m grateful to be proven wrong."
    Perseus stepped closer, his large body crowding hers. "I'm sorry that your welcome lacked warmth, but what can you expect from a Half-being?"
    “Perseus! Watch your tongue!” Kon's alarmed expression made her tense.
    Perseus' affable gaze slid from hers. He scowled at Kon.
    Taylor didn’t know what was going on, but she knew something was wrong.
    "The King has not informed us that you are free to leave," Kon said.
    "I'm sure it's just a miscommunication on the King's part. He was rather busy when I left him." Taylor needed to get by them. She stepped closer and saw Perseus' nostrils flare. Taylor bit her lower lip and gazed up at him from beneath her lashes. "I won't tell, if you won't," she purred.
    She saw indecision in Kon's eyes, but none in Perseus'. He was more than happy to let her go.
    Come on boys , let me pass . Freedom called to her.
    The warriors took a step to the side, then suddenly stopped. Their eyes widened and locked on something behind her. Perseus paled a second before they both stiffened to attention.
    A low growl rumbled next to her ear. Taylor didn't have to look to know who it was. Gooseflesh broke out over her skin and trickled down her spine. If her reaction was due to fear, she could’ve easily ignored the sensation. But it wasn't.
    "Going somewhere?" Hades' warm breath brushed her cheek, sending a delicious shiver through her.
    Taylor's nipples hardened and her back straightened. The warmth rolling off his body felt like someone had left a furnace blasting unchecked during a heat-wave. "I didn't realize that I was a prisoner," she said without looking at him. She didn't want Hades to see the affect
