Love?s Harem

Chapter Two

The bell of Hell, as Catherine named it, rang its melancholy tone throughout the hall. Today was the day. She had yet to see Quatre, but she did receive a note from him. He told her to ?roll with it.? As far as she was concerned she would never ?roll with it!? She was not just a piece of meat to feed some chauvinistic pig, yet she trusted Quatre and he never broke his promises.
?Catherine today is finally come for you. Mr. Winner asks that you put this on and present yourself for departure as soon as possible. He is very anxious,? the head servant said.
?I bet he is,? Catherine muttered and grabbed the clothes. She held her head high, probably higher than she should have, and walked to the ?preparing room.?
?Hurry up girl,? one of the dressing maids said.
?I am coming, Une,? Catherine said frowning. Une was one of her closest friends, besides Quatre? who was still missing. Catherine?s frown deepened even more.
?I know you don?t want to go, but you must please him. You don?t want to end up like Hilde, do you?? Une said firmly. She felt horrible. She knew Catherine didn?t want to go to Mr. Winner, let alone please him.
?But he likes me. Shouldn?t that be enough to keep me from death?? Even as Catherine spoke this, she knew she had no hope; she was like Hilde in her rebelliousness. Hilde went to Mr. Winner and as rumors went, she laid still as Mr. Winner took his ?right.? He was not pleased with Hilde, so he had her placed in the basement with no food or water and let his bodyguards use Hilde?s body. She lived less than one week before dying of starvation and dehydration. ?Fine, I will try,? Catherine said.
Une let out the breath she was holding. ?I am glad. Now let?s see what we can do with this clothing. Here put the under garments on.?
Catherine took the dainty black lacy underwear and bra and quickly changed. She did not like being as exposed as she was; she saw every outline of herself, including her hidden curls. Not something she wanted Mr. Winner to see, well maybe the younger Quatre Winner. ?Wait, stop thinking that way,? Catherine chastised herself.
?Here put this over the top,? Une urged. Catherine took the sheer red top and skirt. The top would not close but there were three gold chains that tied the jacket-like top semi-closed. There was still a two-inch gap between the closing of the two sides and Catherine frowned in distaste. The skirt material, along with the top?s material hid nothing. If anything it made her more desirable than simply the under garments. ?God this is messed up,? Catherine mumbled. Une ignored her comment and started to brush Catherine?s wavy red-brown hair until it shined.
?Ok, you are ready, try to have some fun,? Une said.
Catherine rolled her eyes and frowned. For luck, Une placed a budding white rose in Catherine?s hair. She gave Une a hug and turned towards the door to be escorted to her doom. Une returned to the other room. Suddenly nervous, Catherine frantically looked for an exit other than the one that lead to Mr. Winner?s hallway. Seeing a door not far away, Catherine turned towards her salvation. She picked up her pace.
?Hey, you! Get back here! Mr. Winner will kill you is you don?t come back here!?
Catherine turned her head to look at who was calling her. It was one of the guards. He was running, very fast. ?Shit,? Catherine mumbled as she sprinted to the exit way.
?Get back here you whore!?
?Like Hell, Catherine screamed and sped up. She reached the outside quickly. Before she had time to react, two hands grabbed her. One clasped around her mouth, the other pressed her against her assailant.
?Shhh.?
Catherine tried to struggle, but gained no ground, apparently her kidnapper was very strong.



?Roll with it,? a voice spoke in Catherine?s ear.
?Quatre?? She turned around to come face-to-face with her blonde friend and the guard lying limp.
?I knocked him out,? Quatre said. Catherine threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug.
?Shhh. We have to hurry. I bet the guards are on our tails,? Quatre said smiling.
?Okay.?
Quatre grabbed her hand and lead her to the camel he had packed and waiting. Quatre took Catherine around the waist to help her get on the camel. His hand slipped and he managed to grab closer to her bottom. ?Sorry,? he mumbled. Catherine shrugged it off knowing he didn?t mean it.
?We, um, only have one camel, any more would be a bit obvious,? Quatre said still flustered from his previous mistake.
Catherine took the hint and moved forward to make room for Quatre. He moved behind her, being careful not to touch her. For some reason, most likely the outfit she wore, Catherine was having an interesting effect on him. He knew if he did touch her, he wouldn?t be able to let go. She was his only friend in the area and she meant the world to him. He loved her. This is why he made certain she did not go to his father.
The camel moved gracefully towards the outskirts of the village. Quatre knew a woman who would be willing to help get out Catherine?s tracker; she planned to meet Quatre in the forest away from her house. Catherine and Quatre entered the forest shortly after their escape.
?We must hurry, the guards will be coming shortly,? Quatre said jumping down off the camel. Catherine followed.
?Mrs. Chang? Sally? Wufei?? Quatre called.
?Over here Quatre,? Sally called waving when Quatre and Catherine saw her. Quatre took Catherine?s hand and lead her to the table. Quatre quickly introduce them and explained what needed to be done.
?Put your arms with the tracker here. We can put some numbing agent in your arm, but you will become very tired,? Sally said while digging out her supplies.
?I don?t want the numbing stuff then,? Catherine said.
?It will hurt like Hell.?
?I can?t be tired, I won?t move as fast.?
?Catherine, you don?t have to,? Quatre began.
?I must,? Catherine said, placing her arm on the table. Quatre stood behind her to support her and grabbed her arm.
Sally took a sterile knife from the clothe near by, and made a small incision into Catherine?s arm. Noticing Catherine?s wince and small yelp, Sally said, ?we can still give you a pain killer.?
Catherine shook her head. Sally sighed and dug further trying to retrieve the tracker chip.
Quatre sensed Catherine?s pain and it began to affect him. He had to find a way to distract her and keep her quiet. An idea popped into his head.
?Catherine,? he whispered. Like he thought she flung her head around to look at him. Quickly he pressed his lips to hers. When Catherine didn?t back away, Quatre began to move his lips against hers' gently. Catherine opened her mouth slightly. Lost in the feeling, Quatre sought entrance into her mouth with his tongue. Catherine moaned, not from the forgotten pain of her arm, but from the pleasure Quatre?s mouth gave her.
?Mhum,? Sally cleared her throat. Catherine and Quatre quickly broke apart, both blushing. Sally smiled saying, ?I am done.?
Catherine looked down and saw her arm bandaged and the bloody chip lying next to her. ?Thanks.?
Quatre, still slightly read, grabbed the chip and buried it into the ground. He then pulled out a handful of rubies. Sally put up her hand, ?No, it was my pleasure to help her. No woman, unwillingly, should have to be placed in his harem.?
?Thank you very much,? Catherine said.
?Tell Wufei I said ?hi,?? Quatre said gathering a few things.
?I will, and please be careful,? Sally said.
Quatre and Catherine turned towards the waiting camel. ?Oh and Quatre,? Sally called to them. ?Don?t do anything I wouldn?t do.?
At this, Quatre blushed. He would try not to, but he couldn?t get Catherine?s taste off his lips and tongue. He never was so aroused by such a simple thing as a kiss before. Quatre decided he needed to find a way to get Catherine off his mind, but it was difficult to do when his tormentor sat innocently between his legs on the camel.
Catherine was still slightly embarrassed by the kiss. She knew he didn?t mean it, but that was her first kiss and she shared it with the man she had grown to love these past years. She didn?t know what to make of things; she decided she needed to get Quatre off her mind? some how.

What a horrible horrible man Quatre's father is, especially for what happened to Hilde.

I'm so glad that they were able to make a break for it and have the chip removed. Quite the sneaky one that Quatre is for distracting Cathy.

Can't wait to see what is going to happen next to the young couple

[Raspberry]

Yeah, I agree with Beck! Why Quatre's father marry with some woman and forget about other girls??? God, they're so innocent, how could he?! :evil: And Quatre and Catherine...yeah, this couple is soooo cuuute! What's next?!Quick, I need next chapter, or!...<read description below>
