Forbidden Ch. 05

"Well, here is your chance to talk to him. He's right there," he said, gesturing behind her. And with that, he turned and left the cell, closing the door behind him, locking her in.

Crying out softly, she leapt to her feet and ran to the door. "Jalrin, don't leave me here! Please, I'm sorry," she cried, tears running down her face. Then, the soft caress of his mind to hers kept her from dropping to her knees and falling into heartbreak. I can't let you out until you two have talked sweetling. And I need to think about this. You want me to go against my oaths for you, the one who came down with seduction on her mind to get information from me and my brother. Give me time Mira.
