Chapter 59

Aislinn's head was swimming. She wasn't sure how long she had been unconscious or when exactly she had passed out. She was naked and on her stomach, tied down to a bed. She tried to move her arms and legs but pain shot through her body and she drew in a sharp breath before lying still again. When she tried to open her eyes the light from the room stung and sent a new pain into her head. She closed her eyes again. Somewhere in the background she could hear people talking, but couldn't quite make out the voices. She couldn't remember where she was or how she had gotten here. But she was scared and cold and in pain. "Cullen?" she said softly not really thinking that he'd be there or hear her. "Does Arnauk tie you down to beds as well?" Rafe's voice sank into her and suddenly she remembered what had happened to get her there. Aislinn pressed her face into the bed. She didn't bother to try and pull away or open her eyes. She knew that it wouldn't get her anywhere. When Rafe's hand touched the back of her leg she flinched. Pain sliced into her again and she went still, her breath hissing out of her. Rafe chuckled and continued touching her.
