And one shall free him by succumbing to the passions within…

But in order to control him, she must first prove she has enough passion to make her worthy of being his mistress.

SCORCHED DESTINY

You were meant to wake him, a voice whispered in her head. This time it was more distinct and she understood that it wasn’t her conscience but the whisper of fate. You’re life has been lived for this moment. Your female body is the key. That is why the others before you failed.

Lucienne knew what she had to do. The others before her had been men. According to her grandfather’s journal, a man had cursed all the djinn because one of them refused to enslave all women, including the djinni’s lover. A man’s jealousy and hate had started the djinn imprisonment. It stood to reason that a woman’s passion and love would free them of it.

Each movement sent a jolt through her. The breeze hit again, this time stronger. Her body was being prepared. It was like a thousand fingers touched her. As she stepped into the chamber at the end of the hall, it was like entering a dream—a place where all her fantasies, all her desires could come true. It was a strange understanding that passed over her, an acceptance.

Destiny.

Fate.

For a moment, she panicked, scared that the chamber would be empty. And then she saw him, the man of both her destiny and fate. All fear and worry left her. It was the man she’d searched for.

Her djinni.

The man who would be able to sate the burning hunger inside her body.

He looked just as a man of such grace and power should look—beautiful, strong and virile. Orange firelight caressed his naked form, the light flickering over his gorgeous body and tight flesh. Long, blue-black hair fell over his back. He was turned from her, affording her a lush view of a taut ass and muscled thighs. Not a measure of fat marred his frame and for a moment she thought him too perfect to be real.

Lucienne quickly glanced around his prison. It was made of stone, but covered with red and white gauze. There was a basin of water, set high on a pillar. A thick cushioned chair was next to the bed. In the middle of the room was a low, flat bed, covered with fine silks and surrounded by translucent material hanging from the ceiling. She shivered to see it, longing to touch the soft material, to feel it caressing her naked body.

Books were piled high on a table. They were bound with leather and she wondered if he’d used his magic to keep up with the outside world. It was said djinn knew many things, spoke all languages and could control the elements.

His head turned to the side and she got the briefest glance of his face. When he spoke, his voice was dark, low, predatory and powerful all at the same time. To hear it, she knew she’d found the right man. “Lucienne de la Rue. You have come to free me from this prison?”

“Yes,” Lucienne whispered. Her own voice was husky with her passion.

“You come to me willingly?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“You know that to free me from this prison, you must offer me your body to use as I will?” he insisted. Suddenly, his eyes lifted and he turned to look at her without really moving his feet. His hips angled and by the way his arm fell at his side. He had chiseled, hard features. His dark gaze swept over her form and she felt naked with only the thin linen of the ancient gown between them. “You must prove to me that you are worthy of freeing me.”

Not as confident as before, she whispered, “Yes.”
