title: A Deceptive Lord
author: Balfour, Corinne
description: This is an alternate Earth story.
  Drest Kavanaugh, an Asstrumnian hybrid, was sent by his king to infiltrate Countess Nefertiti Avenal’s harem.  His forged papers proclaiming him to be Lord Woodcock gained him easy entry to the Avenal mansion, but he had no intention of actually serving as the depraved woman's paramour.  The thought of entertaining the Deranged Dominatrix left him cold, but her sister was another matter.  The thought of making Lady Eden his lover was tempting, despite the fact that she was a Flourdan and technically his enemy.  When Nefertiti expressed her intention to try out her new "Roman toys" on him, he chose to ignore her.  He had not realized that she would not take no for an answer.  After being accosted by eunuchs and chained to Nefertiti's bed, he realized too late that he had underestimated the woman’s lust and determination.
  Eden Avenal resents that her life is completely under the control of her deranged half-sister.  She is expected to serve Nefertiti like a slave and never voice any complaints.  When she sees the newest addition to the harem, she feels an instant attraction.  She knows that she cannot act on it, as the male belongs to her sister and is forever out of her reach.  When she stumbles upon Lord Woodcock using inhuman abilities to free himself from Nefertiti’s bed, she realizes that he is no Flourdan lord.  He is a member of a race known to abduct and enslave humans for sport, and she has just become his prisoner.
  Warning: This story contains a whip wielding sadistic villainess, mild violence, and druid rituals and activities involving sex (yeah, the rituals just don't work without it).
