Ten years ago, he had been so much younger, not just in years, but deep within his soul. He had been so in love with his wife, Saliah. They had been expecting their first youngling, a male and his heir. But then everything had gone so very wrong and he had lost them both. It broke him so badly, that he forced his heart to grow cold, and swore an oath never to love another female, never to father another youngling. When given the opportunity to go to war, he jumped at it, taking his raging anger out on his enemies.
Now the war was won and over. It was time for the most feared Warlord in the galaxy to go home. Every female on Ceres would pursue him now, due to his wealth and rank, but he wanted nothing to do with any of them. Instead, he came up with a plan to keep them all at bay. He would purchase a female pleasure slave to pose as his consort. He would use her body without endangering his heart. He had given all his requirements to the flesh dealer, and had been assured the female presented was just what he wanted--young, physically compatible, sexually experienced, with a low intelligence level, a submissive personality, and most importantly, sterile.
Unfortunately for the Warlord, it would be too late, by the time he realized that she only fulfilled two of his six requirements. Or maybe it wasn't unfortunate; perhaps she would be the one to heal his tortured soul.
