A Tear Frozen in Time

Smug Rage

A Happy birthday chapter to my friend Cabaysmom.....

"What the hell do you think you're playing at?  And what did you mean by future husband?" she asked not moving an inch despite the intimidation in the air.

"I gave you an order.  Come here." he demanded.

"How dare you.  You don't get to order me around Mo Yuan.  Have you forgotten that you are in Qing Qiu and I am its Queen." her own voice matched the tightness in his own.

Her eyes were ablaze with anger at what he almost did.  Her time with Guotin had proved to be very beneficial to them both and to think that this man had almost ruined her one chance at an alliance that Mo Yuan had never been able to gain would have seen them battling right now.

But she did gain a tentative friendship and that was an enormous leap forward.  All he had been interested in was their magical abilities, especially her barriers while she made a tentative enquiry into horse breeding her pure breds with his.  Marriage alliances however were also raised and this was one discussion that would have to happen at their next meeting which was set for one week and this time in the Demon Lands.  Alone.

From what she knew, he was an unmarried man with an empty harem having found no interest in women, because like Mo Yuan, he too had dedicated his entire life to the safety of his people but she had definitely noticed the interest in her and though he did not ask for further information regarding Mo Yuans claims that he was her husband, she knew that would be on the agenda when they met again.  

Now glaring at the man who was already deeming her to be his wife, the anger exploded.

"Get the hell off my land.  You are an enemy of Qing Qiu High God Mo Yuan.  You are not welcome here." she screamed at him.

It was all she got out before her entire body was forcefully dragged towards him under that same powerful force of energy he had used on her at the Celestial Palace and like before, it rendered her mind numb as he caught her in his arms before she suddenly found herself being forcefully pushed down onto her own meeting table.

The only noise was the sound of the tea and cups flying across the room where Mo Yuan had thrown them and the moment her body was laid out on the table, Mo Yuan quickly forced himself between her legs to glare down at her.

"Get the hell off me!" she screamed up at the eyes that had now lost all the tenderness that she had only ever known.  

They were as cold as ice, but his hands that were holding her own down above her head, felt heated as if on fire.  Oblivious to the rage in her own eyes, Mo Yuans grip on her tightened while his mind suddenly caught a vision of the chaos.

Kicking and bucking, the fight to free herself soon became even more heated when her energy began to rupture from every pore in her body.  It stung like a whip to wet flesh, the pain was instant and though she knew, she did not let up even though his gaze began to soften.

"Did you know that what you are feeling right now, doesn't even come close to what I had to endure in the chaos?" he asked softly while forcing himself into her lower region to keep her pinned down.

"Get off me......" her voice gasped as that familiar bulge began to push in even more.

"That place is your worst nightmare.  You think I am your enemy, well let me tell you something Queen Bai Qian." he gasped painfully as her energy began to increase the attack which was reaching a painfulness that he knew he would not endure for much longer.

"I did not fight over a billions souls whose desperation to free themselves caused me to lose hope untold times, to come back to this!" he snapped into her face and before she could even think on what he meant by that, her hands were not only released, but her riding jacket was ripped open.  The leather gave way as if made of paper and exposing her silk slip which was the only garment she was wearing underneath it.
