Love of Lady Liana.

by Alvarez y Losada

  It did not think about which it was doing, it approached antor­cha a corner of the mattress -- one of which it had brought of the house of its father -- and soon put fire to another es­quina.

  Rogan woke up almost immediately, reaccionan­do right away. It dragged to the woman sleepy outside ca­ma in flames and were gotten up of a jump. The girl woke up, began to shout and she continued shouting when Rogan threw it to the bottom of the room. It started of the bed the ignited blanket and began to strike the flames that began a to extend. The door was opened brusca­mente, entered Severn and helped its brother to extinguish the fire before it reached the beams of the ceiling of made­ra. When finally the flames were extinguished, both herma­nos threw by the window singed rest of the mattress, that fell to the pit. The shouts of the servant they had stopped, but now it was curled up in a corner of the room, loaded eyes of terror. It emitted brief moaned.

  — ¡Coarse of shouts! -- Rogan ordered --. No it was more than a little fire -- it even added and it followed the glance of mucha­cha where it was Liana, that still maintained antor­cha. Rogan needed as soon as moment to include/understand what it had happened and then could not think what ocu­rrió in fact.

  -- Incendiaste the bed, you dealed with to kill to me -- it affirmed and one became towards Severn --. It is with the Howard, aprésala and quémala in the morning.

  Before his brother could to answer, before some of the many spectators among them Zared, who they had met in the door, could talk back, es­talló the rage of Liana.

  -- Yes, I dealed with matarte -- it said and it advanced towards him approaching the flame to him of the torch --, and hopefully it had lo­grado it. Me you humiliated, you dishonored to me, you ridiculed to me...

  -- I? -- Rogan inquired, completely astonished. It could have snatched the torch easily to him, but he was pleasing to watch it with those blond hair and the fine dressing gown, to the light of the fire. ¡And face! This was the young person who he had believed ugly? -- I have respected to You in all the aspects. And as soon as I approached you.

  — ¡Certain! -- she shouted, advancing another one passage towards Ro­gan --. Me you left single in my own celebration of weddings, me de­jaste single the night of weddings.

  Rogan had the expression of a man defendant in­justamente.

  -- No longer you are virgin. I took care of that.

  — ¡You violated to me! -- Liana shouted to him.

  Now Rogan began to get angry. To his to understand, never had violated to a woman in the course of its life. Not because it morally opposed the fact, but because with its face and its body never it had be necessary to arrive at that.

  -- I did not make such thing -- it affirmed by low it, contemplating the bust of Liana, shaken under the dressing gown.

  -- it seems to Me that our presence here he is not necesa­ria -- it said Severn aloud, but Rogan and Liana were so engrossed one in the other that did not hear it. Severn em­pujó to the others outside the room and closed the door behind himself.

  -- But she must be punished -- Zared said --. It almost killed Rogan.

  -- It is an interesting female -- it said reflectively Se­vern.

  — ¡It has my room! -- it moaned Wednesday, with a blanket singed around its nakedness

  Severn smiled.

  -- quitarte had been able more than your quarter, sees sleep with Domingo. And you -- it ordered to Zared --, acuéstate.

  While, Liana and Rogan faced. This it knew that it had to punish to Liana -- after all, it could have killed it -- , but now that knew that its action was nothing else that the access of one jealousy woman, understood that the subject did not have to worry to him.

  -- Tendri'a to order that they flagellate to you.

  -- Ponme a hand raises, and the next one time incen­diaré your hair.

  -- Vamos, watches a little... -- Rogan said. It was going too much far. It accepted to support small rabietas of the women, after all, they were women, but this seemed to him too much.

  Liana threatened it the torch and Rogan it seemed not to notice absolutely that he was completely naked.

  -- No, it is called on the turn to you to listen. I have remained in silence, without doing nothing, while you ignored and des­preciabas to me. You allow that those... those Days yours are ed ***reflx mng of me. ¡Of me! The lady of castle. I am your wife, and it will be tra­tará to me as I deserve it. So that, God me help, you will deal with courtesy and respect to me, nonreclamation love, or will be better than you never sleep near me, because it can happen that you do not return to wake up.

  Rogan was dumb. A thing was to be threatened by an enemy,but this woman was her wife!

  -- No woman threatens to me -- she said with serious voice.

  Liana approached the torch and he to him, with fast gesture, took off it and it grasped it by the waist. It thought to remove it from room, to take it down and to lock up it in the jail, but when it had close the face of Liana its rage became desire. It had never wished one woman as much as to this one. It would die if it could not have it.

  It supported the hand on the shoulder of Liana and it began to clear the dressing gown to him.

  — ¡No! -- she said, separating from Rogan, but blind he esta­ba of passion, its brain concentrated in the anxiety of to have it. With the hand it grasped the hair of Liana and atra­jo towards him.

  -- Not -- it, her lips murmured against those of his espo­so. -- you will not return to violate to me. You will be able to do the love to me no­che it finds out, but you will not violate to me.

  Rogan felt disturbed by those words. The women gave, to him had seduced it, but never one of they formulated exigencies to him. And suddenly, it acceded to its requirement. Never it had thought about the possibility of pleasing or not to a woman; but it wished to please to this one.

  The hands on shoulders of Liana they relaxed, until the fingers as soon as they cleared the skin and attracted it smoothly. In general, it did not use to bother itself much kissing the women with those who it laid down, because they always were anxious to attract it, and to kiss was them mere loss of time. But it wanted to kiss this woman.

  Liana threw the head back and it accepted it, feeling the smoothness of its mouth and its hands, that rose to to­car to him hair. The lips of Rogan moved on those of Liana, surrounding them, the end of its language pe­netró, and it moaning, supported her body against of him.

  Rogan could not continue waiting for it. His arms were closed on her, a hand grasped the thigh of Liana pa­ra to raise its right leg and to surround with her the waist by Rogan. Immediately, the other hand raised the left leg.

  As it had so little experience with sex, Liana did not know very well what was happening, but they encanta­ban to him kisses and the sensation of its naked rumps against the skin of Rogan. It was not prepared when it struck the back of his wife against the stone wall and it penetrated it with all the force of a man who uses a ram to attack a closed door. Liana shouted, impelled by the pain and the protest, but his face was buried in muscles of the chest of Rogan, and nobody heard it.

  It seemed that it would continue during hours their deep and hard attacks and Liana hated the act in the beginning, to the man, everything what they were doing to him, but after a little while opened very great the eyes, because it felt pro­fundo to please interior that began to spread by all its body.

  It sent a exclamación of surprise, it grasped the hair of Rogan and it threw with force while it approached its mouth of him.

  Its sudden passion was sufficient stops to take to Rogan to the culmination and with a final envión, it fell inert on Liana, tightening with force the back of the young one against stones, while one leaned on her, the heart la­tiendo to him with force.

  Liana wanted more. It did not know very well what it wished, but what it had received it was not sufficient. Their nails sank in the shoulders of Rogan.

  Rogan separated the head from the shoulder of Liana and watched it frightened, because it noticed that it had not com
pla­cido it. In that moment loosen the legs of the young person, separated from her, began to look for its panties between the rest fallen in the floor.

  -- Now you can irte -- it murmured, feeling that cóle­ra dominated it.

  Liana was animated by the love act too brief.

  -- Tengo a dormitory in front of the lot, and he is prepara­do to receive to us.

  -- In that case, you can go and sleep there -- irri­tado Rogan said, but when it became to watch it, its rage dissipated. It had the shining eyes and bivouacs, the hair fell to him in disorder. Rogan almost grasped it again, but in a will act it forced its hands a to remain inmóvi­les, to the flanks of the body. One said that the women who they were new for him always seemed to him exciting.

  Liana did not try to repress the rage that it felt, they ima­gen it of Rogan in the bed with another woman was too re­ciente and painful.

  -- So that you can acostarte with another one woman? -- it said angered.

  -- Caramba, not -- he said, surprised --. So that I can sleep. Here there is no bed.

  This declaration, formulated with so much solemnity, caused the smile of Liana.

  -- Ven with me -- she in low voice said, offering the hand to him --. I have a clean and fragant bed, list for recibir­nos.

  Rogan did not wish to accept its hand, knew that it did not have to sleep with her, because learned by experience that when one it spent all the night with a woman, she began to think that it was proprietor of the man. Cier­ta time "had been had" by one woman and... well, in spite of all its reasonable thoughts, it accepted the hand of Liana, and the smile whereupon she watched it was accentuated.

  -- Ven -- it murmured the young person and Rogan it followed like a taken small dog of the cord; both descended escale­ra in direction of the kitchen, and went to the patio. Now everything was in silence and she stopped to elevate the glance ha­cia the stars.

  -- They are beautiful, right?

  In the beginning, Rogan did not know what it referred. Es­trellas was useful to know the way when one via­jaba at night.

  -- Supongo that thus it is -- said in low voice. The light of lu­na on the hair of Liana conferred platea­dos shades to him.

  It backed down a step and she leaned in Rogan, his es­palda against the chest of its husband. Thus it had imagined marriage; its husband maintaining it under the light of the moon. But Rogan no it tried to surround it with the arms, so that Liana closed the hands on wrists of Rogan, guided the arms and it supported them on his own shoulders.

  Rogan was frightened a little while. She was pure loss of time to be there outside, in the middle of the night, next to one youngster, the eyes nailed in the sky. To the si­guiente day it had much to do. But then it approached its nose the hair of Liana, smelled the fragrance clean and pe­netrante and no longer it could remember what had to do in the morning.

  -- How you are called? -- it murmured, the lips next to the hair of Liana. It always had difficulties with nom­bres of the women, and several years back it decided to assign a date to them, instead of his name.

  Liana did not allow that its humiliation it declared.

  -- I am lady Liana, your wife -- it said, he returned and him ofre­ció the face so that he kissed it. But as it did not do it, she it approached the lips the cheek of Rogan and at the same time their hands caressed its nape of the neck, supported the head against the shoulder of Rogan and tightened its body against of its husband.

  Rogan was maintaining it, there, both of foot, the very together bodies. It had never done seemed thing, women were destined to contribute sex, to give what a man she needed, to do what a man wanted. It was not to stop in the center of a patio and to remain prisoners there. A similar gesture did not have sense; nevertheless, one felt impotent to act.

  Liana heard a movement behind, perhaps somebody in­somne. She was not customary to the marriage, and for that reason immediately one felt in lack, in view of which it maintained a contact so intimate with a man.

  -- Vamos, we leave here before they descu­bran to us.

  Again Rogan followed steps it arrives, it happened the main camera in front of and raised the runner who con­ducía to to pave. Here it was the dormitory that before had belonged to the father of Rogan and to its spouses. Several years ago it did not enter there. This girl, this Liana, hung a carpet on the wall, several heavy candles and fragant they es­taban ignited. A bed against the wall, and on her the sagrada cross.

  Rogan backed down a step, but girl him sostu­vo the hand.

  -- Vamos, I have wine, good Italian wine and I will serve a glass to you.

  Rogan did not know very well how it obtained it she, pe­ro a little while later he naked and was laid down in the bed, smooth and clean, jarro of silver with wine in the hand and she pressing on his shoulder; the arm of Rogan maintained it and their fingers played with the hair of the young person.

  Liana curled up its body against the one of Rogan, as if it was trying to be fused to him. It wished to formulate tan­tas questions about the castle and of people. Who was the lady to whom was sight spinning? To know more about the Iolanthe de Severn. And why Zared no it was assigned to a horseman, and one did not train?

  But that night had supported many emotions and now excessively were tired to speak. It supported the hand on the hair of the chest of Rogan, felt its body, great and strong next to his and, satisfied, one sank in the dream.

  Rogan heard the smooth breathing and rhythmic of sleepy Lia­na and it thought that it had to leave. It had dejar­la now and to look for another place to lie down. It remembered how it had set afire bed, if he had not awaked, could have died burned. In justice, she would have to es­tar now in mazmorra, and to the dawn it would tie it to a post and he would burn it... exactly since she had tried to do with him. But no it moved a finger and however, it raised ma­no of Liana that rested on his own chest and watched it with curiosity. It was said that it was a small hand, weak and useless and that was shortly before falling asleep, always embraced her.

  When it woke up, it was total morning and he it could hear the noise of the patio, down. With the light of the day all its senses they intensified. It was interlaced with the girl as if they had been the roots of a tree. It separated it from its side, it left the bed and it advanced towards wardrobe. There was a orinal in the contiguous small room to the dormitory and Rogan de­tuvo to alleviate his vejiga.

  Liana woke up and it stretched sluggishly in the bed, never one had felt so well in the course of its life. That was that it had to be the marriage: to stop a little while in the patio, arms of husband and to elevate the eyes towards stars, to sleep in its arms, to wake up and to see that he was close and to oir it in the fourth contiguous one. It left the latrine, rascando the naked chest and yawning.

  -- Good morning -- Liana said, moving legs under the blankets.

  The mind of Rogan was in the work of the day. Now which it had gold of the Neville, it could begin to con­tratar horsemen who helped him to fight against the Ho­ward. Of course, it would have that to train them well because the majority was patanes sluggish that had so much force co­mo a boy. And speaking of haraganes, it was better than a arran­case Severn of the bed of that witch, because otherwise his brother would not have force for anything. It left the room without watching a single time, nor remembering a her wife, Liana seated affected in the bed when he left without greeting it. It played with the idea to run after him and... What? Recostó on the pillows and it smiled. While it was discreet, submissive and obedient, it did not have to him fact ca­so. When trying to kill it with the Rogan fire it spent the night with her. lady who spun noticed to him that the men never fought by the women who they were submissive and compasivas. Perhaps Rogan would fight by a woman who dealed with to burn it?

  — ¡My lady! -- it said excited Joice to to burst in into the ha­bitación, incessantly to speak a moment.

  The thoughts of Liana were so engrossed in its husband who did not hear the words of Joice in the beginning.

&n
bsp; -- What? The Fire Lady? Of what you speak?

  When it began to catch history, it threw to laugh, Apparently, the episode of the set afire bed of Rogan by Liana it had crossed all the village, in addition to the castle and they applied the nickname to him of the Lady of the Fire.

  -- Two of the Days already returned to village with his pa­dres -- Joice said --, and other they fear to you

  There was pride in the voice of Joice and Liana it thought that that was ironic, coming from her, who advised sumi­sión to him. If it had continued relying on the advice of Joice, the night of the eve it would never have existed.

  — ¡Magnificent! -- it said with Liana firmness, separating the blankets and leaving the bed --. We will take advantage of the fear while exist, perhaps you and the remaining women they would have to speak of poison and... vipers. Yes, that is good. If one cria­da does not make its work, is possible that I it puts vipers to him in the bed

  -- My lady, I do not believe that...

  Liana became towards its servant.

  -- you do not think what, Joice? That I do not have to use my own criterion? You think that it would have to continue supporting to me in your advice?

  Joice included/understood that there was lost influence that exerted on its master.

  -- No, my lady -- it murmured --. I wanted to say...

  It did not complete the phrase.

  -- Tráeme the dress of green silk and sees to comb to me -- Liana said --. Today beginning to clean my house.

  The inhabitants of the Moray castle they verified that the Pale Rabbit in effect had become the Lady of Fire. They were customary to work for the her­manos Peregrine, that five things to each person, but this mujercita protested at the same time, with its shining green dress, its heavy blond braids that fell so­bre to him back, demanded ten times work as much as the masters. It forced to all men and horsemen to resign to their habitual tasks and put them to gather sweepings. Shovelfuls and more ash shovelfuls of the homes were reti­raron. One filled a bucket after another one with bones and roña and threw the con­tenido one to the cars now empty of the Neville and the load sa­lió of the castle. Liana obtained that Zared brought three young people more to him and the four were dedicated to kill rats. It sent men to the village in search of women who would cepillasen the walls, floors and the furniture. Also it contracted men who with networks, dredged the pit, and when these gratings no longer sank in roña and floated in surface of the water ordered that a ditch dug to empty the su­ciedad -- supposing that that mass moved, Liana, the men thought they backed down before the order, teme­rosos of the sword of lord Rogan that of fire of Liana.
