Prince Nicholas is charmed by the enigmatic Miranda, even after she absconds with money she stole from him. Wanting to learn more about her, he gives chase, only to find and lose her again.

Hello,” she said with a smile.  “I’m Miranda.  I would appreciate it if you would take care of my horse this evening.  I’ll be staying at the inn.” 
+
Meanwhile, Miranda, a visitor from another time and another place, plans some rest and relaxation with the prince after the completion of her own mission.
                “Yes ma’am, my pleasure,” he said with an answering smile.  “My name is Nicholas.  This is a fine horse you have.”
 
                “Thank you.  He has been a good worker and companion for me for years,” Miranda replied.  As Nicholas came even closer, Miranda could feel her heart racing and blood rushing to her face.  All the miles of riding with her legs wrapped around her fine beast had started a hunger in her body, and now she wanted that hunger satisfied. 
 
                “Come here, I’ll show you how to brush him,” she instructed Nicholas.  She handed him the brush from her saddlebag and took his hand.  Sparks seemed to travel up her arm and through her body at the contact.
 
    “I believe I know how to properly brush a horse, ma’am,” Nicholas told Miranda, pulling his hand away from hers.
 
                “My horse is very particular,” Miranda informed him. He likes to be brushed slowly and smoothly, like this,” she instructed, standing behind Nicholas and grabbing his hand once again, she guided it along the horse’s side.  She moved in closer to him, breathing in his scent.  Her nipples hardened as she pressed herself against him. She could hear his breath catch at the close contact, and knew he must be feeling the electric currents that were running through her body.
 
                “Long, slow, calming strokes work the best,” she said, guiding his hand over the horse’s rump and down his leg.  “And make sure you check his hooves.”  Miranda bent over to pick up one of the horse’s legs, exposing an expanse of creamy white cleavage as she did so. 
 
              “That is exactly the method I use,” Nicholas said. “I’m sure I can do a satisfactory job without your assistance.”
 
    “Well I’m not so sure you can! This is a valuable animal and I want him cared for properly. Pay attention when I speak to you,” Miranda snapped. She knew she was being cross with this handsome man, but a combination of fatigue and stress was making her short-tempered.
 
    Despite her cheeky tone, or maybe because of it, Nicholas found that he was becoming very aroused by this alluring woman, and he could swear that she also felt an attraction to him. He tried to soften his tone as he responded to her.
 
    “I swear I will do my best to take good care of your horse. Perhaps you should go to the inn and lie down for a bit.”
 
    “Oh yes, that’s the answer for any trouble that a man has with a woman; send her away to rest. I don’t need rest, I need…” Miranda began.
 
    Looking into her eyes, Nicholas knew exactly what she needed. He grabbed her, and with a groan, he pulled her roughly to a hay bale. He stared into her face for a moment with eyes that had gone black with desire, then turned her around and flipped up her skirts. She willingly spread her legs wide. With a surprisingly gently touch and smooth hand, he began to stroke her drenched pussy, bringing moans from them both.
 
                “My lady, you are very wet,” he said, his breath coming hard and fast. He put a finger deep inside her.  “And also very hot,” he said, barely able to speak. Miranda was panting with desire and, brazenly, ready to be mounted, but he continued his slow exploration.  At last he turned her around and looked her in the eye.
 
                “I do not rape unwilling women. Do you want me to go on?”

When he arrived in Griffin’s Square later the following day, he headed for the tavern first. He was tired and thirsty, and this would be the best place to enquire if anyone had seen a strange woman in town. He was sure Miranda would have attracted some attention, and since she had given him no clue as to why she was there, he would have to track her down once again. He approached a gregarious-looking man who seemed to be entertaining his friends with a story, and had a splint on his leg. Nicholas noticed that he had a sheriff’s badge on his jerkin.
 +
 
 +
“I certainly do know where you could find a woman travelling alone on a black horse. She’s in my gaol, that’s where. Do you have business with her?” the sheriff asked.
 +
 
 +
“I may,” Nicholas replied. “Why is she in your gaol?”
 +
 
 +
“She’s a rotten thief, that’s why. She tried to rob old Fletcher. What she would want from his crumbling shack in the woods I’ll never know. And she would have got away with it, too, if I hadn’t happened to be riding by and heard him yelling after her. I caught her and brought her into town, took her to the gaol, and, well…I decided to teach her a lesson in respecting her betters, if you get my drift?” At this the sheriff got a lascivious look in his eye. “I tied her up spread-eagled on the bed in the gaol cell, ripped off those breeches and her little shift, and was just getting ready to show her who’s boss in this town…” he began. Nicholas gripped his beer mug tightly and tried to control his rising anger.
 +
 
 +
“Then what happened?” he asked.
 +
 
 +
At this, the sheriff’s look turned from lecherous to confused. “I don’t rightly know what happened,” he said. “I suddenly found myself on the floor with my leg all twisted up under me. Doctor says it’s broken. I must’ve slipped or something. Bloody shame, I was lookin’ forward to taming that girl. She was squirming around like a wildcat to get out of those ropes…I bet she would be a wild ride.”
 +
 
 +
Nicholas finished his drink in one swallow and strode out of the tavern. He easily found the gaol and marched in, past a sleeping guard to the back. He stopped short when he reached the cell and saw Miranda sitting naked in a strange, cross-legged position on the bed, her hands resting lightly on her knees, eyes closed. The ropes were scattered around her on the floor. She opened her eyes slowly as he approached.
 +
 
 +
“It’s about time you arrived,” she said, and gave him one of those smiles that he was growing quite fond of.
 +
 
 +
“Are you all right?” Nicholas asked.
 +
 
 +
“I’m more or less fine, though I could use some food, a drink, and oh, maybe some clothes.”
 +
 
 +
“I’m demanding that the sheriff release you at once,” Nicholas began.
 +
 
 +
Oh, these men, Miranda thought, such bluster and bravado.
 +
 
 +
“It might work better if you appealed to his avarice and pride, and didn’t draw so much attention to yourself and to me. Perhaps you could congratulate him on capturing me, tell him there is a reward for me in your kingdom, and that you are taking me back to stand trial. I imagine the people in this town will actually be quite glad to be rid of me, but I’m afraid I’ve hurt the sheriff’s pride; I don’t think he’ll take too kindly to any outright demands from you.”
 +
 
 +
Nicholas agreed that this would be the wiser course, and so a few hours later, they were back on the road, Miranda clothed in a shabby dress that had been given to her by a sympathetic woman in town, tied to her horse, head hung obediently down. Nicholas had assured the sheriff that she would be properly punished when they arrived at their destination.
 +
 
 +
The sheriff had been more than happy to take the ‘reward’ money, and secretly relieved to see Miranda leave. There was something evil about the woman. He was sure he hadn’t just slipped and fallen of his own accord in that gaol cell; he vaguely recalled hearing her quietly chanting words he couldn’t understand just before he…well, he was going to stick by his story of falling, and that would be that.

When he arrived in Griffin’s Square later the following day, he headed for the tavern first.

He was sure Miranda would have attracted some attention, and since she had given him no clue as to why she was there, he would have to track her down once again.
