Alien Vengeance – Sara Craven

She did not meet Gemma’s gaze. She said, ‘I don’t believe that, Maria, and I know my parents wouldn’t either, if you love each other. But there would be problems. Michalis is still studying. He can’t afford to get married, for one thing. And how do you suppose he will feel if I’m forced to stay here with—with this—Andreas?’

Maria shrugged. ‘As I said, thecpinic, it was not my will that you should be brought here. I tried to tell them—to speak against it, but my father would not listen. All his words were of revenge for the harm done to the honour of our family. And for this revenge he goes to Kyrios Andreas, who is a brother to us in all but blood.’ Gemma flushed angrily. ‘Why should he do that?

I’m surprised your father didn’t simply arrange to—pass me round the family.’ Maria looked shocked. ‘He could not do such a thing, thecpinic. It would cause shame to my mother, and to ,the wives of my brothers. Besides,’ she added on a more practical note, ‘our house is next to that of the priest. The papa would be angry to hear such talk of vengeance.

But if he hears that there is a woman here with Kyrios Andreas, he will not think it strange, although he may shake his head,’ she added quaintly. Gemma was thinking rapidly, ‘And if he knew the truth, he’d probably blow his top.’ She looked appealingly at the other girl. ‘Maria I’m not really dressed for visiting, as you can see, but you could ask the priest, secretly, to come here and speak to me.

He’d have to help me if he knew what was going on.’ She paused. ‘Please Maria—if you care anything for Mike—do this for me.’ Maria spread her hands helplessly. ‘I cannot, thecpinic.

Alien Vengeance by Craven Sara (z-lib.org) “You will pay, my girl, for what your brother has done.” Andreas’s voice deepened, driving the bitter words like nails into Gemma’s bewildered mind. “You will pay in kind… in shame, and your family’s shame. You will stay here and work in this house as my servant, as Maria worked for your brother, and I shall take you as and when I please, as he took her.”

Gemma swallowed. For a terrible moment she’d had an image of those firm lips crushing hers, those lean, brown hands caressing her. She whispered, “Touch me and I’ll kill you.” He laughed. “You have spirit. I approve of that.

It worries you that it has not come?’ Gemma gave a slight shrug. ‘Actually, I’m more disappointed than worried,’ she returned. ‘But I’ll get over it. The only problem is I don’t quite know what my plans are until I do hear from my brother, and tonight is the last night of my booking here.’

‘No problem,’ came the instant assurance. ‘It is early in the season still, and there is room if you wish to stay.
