Natalie36 Don't worry about Maria.
L-J-L 76 Yes Maria is a spy. Michael and the King are only afraid of one person! The one and only Amy DeLuca!
Carolyn It was good that Jeff and his girls talked.
Part 22
Maria DeLuca watched from the shadows as the two men carried the girl who she knew was named Christina out of the house. She wished that she could help the poor girl. But until Kivar was taken care of. She could only hope that girl could hang on a little longer. The way Kivar treated his slaves was horrible. She watched as another girl was dragged off to Kivar's bed chamber. Maria knew that girl had only arrived a couple hours ago. She was young and no doubt a virgin. As much as she wanted to help the girl she couldn't right now. She had to get to Kivar's office and get the papers that proved that he was the one destroying the farmland and his plan to kill the Royal family and take over Antar.

Michael watched as two of his men dragged the girl into the room and chained her to the chair in front of him. They left and Michael stood over the girl.
"What is your name?" Demanded Michael
The girl didn't say anything.
"Answer me! It's not like you are going to get away with trying to kill the King! So tell me your name for your grave marker!"
"Tess Harding."
"Tess who put you up to trying to kill the King?"
"I will not betray my lord."
"But you betrayed your King?"
"He is not my King! He thinks humans are equal to us antarians!"
Michael grinned he was going to love telling this stupid girl the truth about herself.
"Sorry you feel that way. Seems your mother was human. We ran your DNA. Got hell of a lot of human DNA in you."
"That is a lie! I am not a half breed like that slut of the stupid prince!"
"DNA don't lie. Oh and if you ever bad mouth the Prince's young lady again you will not live to hang."
"Kivar will take over Antar! When he does humans will be what they were always meant to be slaves! He will also make it illegal for antarians to marry or have children with humans. All half breeds will become slaves."
Michael smiled and called in the guards to take Tess to the prison to wait for her execution.

Liz walked down the hall to her room after her talk with her dad and sister. She suddenly felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist from behind bpulling her close. She smiled knowing that it was her Prince. But she decided to have a little fun.
"You better not get caught. The Prince has taken a liking to me and I don't think he would like it if another man had his hands on me."
"This Prince is a fool for leaving you alone. If you were my girl I wouldn't leave you alone."
"Why don't you show me how you would treat me?"
Max pulled her into his room and pushed her gently against the wall and crushed her lips with his. Liz felt the mental bond they had flare to life. She let out a soft moan at his tong running over her lips. Her lips parted and that was all he needed to slip his into her mouth and soon their tongs began to dual for dominance of the kiss.
"God Liz, I need you."
"I need you too Max."
Max looked into her eyes and saw nothing but love in them.
"Liz, you do know how I need you don't you?"
"Yes. I want us to make love."
Max picked Liz up and carried her to the bed. He laid her in the center and very slowly started to kiss her starting at her ear and moving down her neck.
