Warren was going to savor this moment. His brother's own private whore bent over against the wall before him. For hours, she'd been standing at Ronen's side, grabbing papers for the governor and being a thorn in his own side for out-negotiating him. Now though, he'd be getting a little payback.<br/>Or so he thought.<br/><br/>Before Warren could plunge himself inside of the beauty in front of him, one of his hands that held her waist seemed to disappear. Unleashing a bloodcurdling shriek, the merchant clutched at the now bleeding stump.<br/><br/>"I told you that I'd remove that hand if you touched her." Ronen said calmly, holding a bloodied falchion at his side. "Jade, come here."<br/><br/>Once Jade had rushed over to him, the governor looked over to Lily who stood behind him.<br/><br/>"Take my brother to the infirmary. Get that wound cauterized." He ordered. "We wouldn't want to lose a trading partner."<br/><br/>The slave nodded to her master before brushing past Jade and himself to pull Warren back to his feet. Only once she had turned the corner with his brother did he relax.<br/><br/>"Are you unharmed pet?" He asked the shaking woman, repeating himself a little louder to bring her back to what was happening since she seemed unsettled. "This is why I have you as my personal pet. As long as you are mine, no others will be able to treat you like that.<br/>"Just think of this as a good thing." Ronen continued. "Now others will know that I am serious about protecting you, and less will dare use your body like that."
