indignation consumed her. Hell would freeze over before she allowed Lord Asswipe to attend any of her mating tests.
    “Watching holds limited appeal. I require considerably more involvement when it comes to entertainment, if you know what I mean.” Modez paused slightly before saying, “I couldn’t help but notice that the ladies who arrived are in your mate’s service. What of the females promised to service our warriors? Why have they not arrived?”
    “I am not sure. I will send a man to inquire of this.”
    “Do not delay. You know how it is after a victorious battle. Warriors expect to be rewarded with sport, and if deprived, they will have little choice but to play with the native population.”
    “There will be no fornication with the humans. That rule will not alter.” Diermont’s face soured like a male feasting on rancid meat. “Sexual intercourse with humans is unsafe and the consequences are disastrous. Any hybrid who violates my commandment will be subjected to the harshest of punishments.”
    “The warriors do not fully comprehend the danger. Unrelieved lust tends to cloud the mind and impair judgment, which is why it is important to intervene before it gets out of hand. The bed servants are needed now.”
    “I hear you.” Diermont gestured with his hand. “Do not worry yourself so. If I cannot get the bed servants delivered to the villa in sufficient time, I suppose I could order some of Snotti’s ladies to provide such services. Not the high born ladies, of course. Those females of low birth could perform the additional duties.” Diermont snickered and grabbed his crotch with his hand to illustrate his meaning. “It is one of the reasons such ladies are given the privilege of servicing their betters.” He slid his hand from his trousers to pick up a mug of ale. “Do you not agree?”
    Modez’s gaze passed over the ladies surrounding the princess. Garbed in their finest gowns, they glittered like jewels in the candlelit room. “If Snotti can spare some of her ladies, her generosity would be appreciated.”
    “I will be sure to convey this to Snotti.” The prince tossed back his head and took a hefty swig of ale. “She speaks very highly of you. I know she would not wish to disappoint one of her favorite lords.”
    Kiera clenched her fists and tried to control her outrage. She leaned into Druscilla’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “They plan to use us as bed servants!”
    “No, they wouldn’t dare.” Druscilla looked at Kiera in horror. “Why would you even say that?”
    “I heard them discuss it. Modez said the warriors must be satisfied, and the prince just said that if the bed servants do not arrive, some of Snotti’s ladies will have to take their place. You know what that means. We are Snotti’s ladies .”
    “You couldn’t possibly have heard anything from that distance, not with them conversing so softly. You have quite the imagination, Kiera.”
    Kiera didn’t bother to explain her unnatural hearing ability to Druscilla. “The nobles look upon us like slaves.”
    “You could join their ranks easily enough. Many of the males lack mates. I am certain that is why we were invited to join Snotti here rather than remain at the palace.”
    “Do not be so naïve.” Kiera knew she had not mistaken what she had heard, but she told herself not to worry needlessly. They may view her as a slave, but she wasn’t one. She could always leave if conditions deteriorated, and if anyone thought to force her into some warrior’s bed, she would transport herself out of Rome in an instant. “The unmated males remain unmated for a reason. They are either unwilling or unable to take a mate.”
    “Ladies like us do love those unfortunate males who persistently flunk the mating tests.” Druscilla’s eyes lit upon Seamus and Torin. Kiera could almost see the wheels turning inside her friend’s head as she analyzed the unmated, unclaimed warrior lords. They would be prime catches
