He suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled on it so that she was forced to look up at him.
"Listen well, trollop. You have fucked your Arab and he left you pregnant, which is no concern of mine."
Katharine could feel the tears behind her eyes as he pulled her hair.
"But I have use of you yet. No, I don't want your precious little body, though I wouldn't mind having use of it once you have given birth to your bastard seed. I have need of you for a different reason. I need your family, your money, and the comfort and protection all of it will bring me. Without it, I'm ruined. So marry me you will," James declared.
He released her hair and remained where he was. The fight and heightened emotions had excited him. He had never been particularly desirous of her. She was a beautiful woman, but it was well known in most circles that Jamie's persuasion was for men and young boys. However, he had always been aroused by pain and suffering, and he loved having the haughty beautiful Katharine on her knees, so to speak, and at his mercy.
He looked down at her in the soft earth with her legs spread and he fondled his hard cock.
Katharine watched him and suddenly spoke, "Please Jamie. I am with child. It might hurt the babe."
"What do I care? It's not my child," he answered. He began to unbutton himself.
"If you force me, I won't go along with this," she told him.
He stopped himself, but continued to stroke his cock through the fabric.
"So the marriage will continue?" he asked.
"Yes," she answered.
He looked at her on the ground and spoke sullenly.
"Your mouth would do just as well as your cunt," he said.
"After the babe is born, you can have me whenever you wish," Katharine spoke quietly.
"All right," He nodded and helped her stand up. "And to show you I am not completely without honor, I will marry you and give your bastard a name. I don’t want it known that my wife is of loose morals."
“A match made in hell," Katharine said. She looked at him. He smiled at her, but it was cold, with no feeling.
Together, they went back to the house to tell her aunt and uncle the good news, that they would be married sooner than originally planned.

When Jamie left, Katharine bathed her body with a cool towel, running it all over herself. She wanted to erase him from her mind and body. She felt dirty and uncle
an, and she shivered in the moonlight cascading into her room.
She covered her face with her hands and began to weep softly. What was she to do now? She was hopelessly lost. She couldn't go to Mohammed. If she went to him, Jamie would turn on her and tell the world she was pregnant and not married. She would be ruined and her family's name disgraced.
She had no choice but to marry the madman. But she knew eventually she would have to face Mohammed, and that thought frightened her more than anything else.
Chapter 14
Abdullah touched his head to the mat and prayed; his lips moved reverently over the words. His heart was heavy as he bowed over the fifth "Isha" prayer, which usually ended before midnight.
"Subhaan-Allaah wa'l-hamdu Lillaah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa Allaahu akbar wa laa hawla wa la quwwata illa Billaah," he spoke.
Abdullah was a religious man who had always tried to give guidance and support to Sheik Mohammed Aksam Al Sabid; praise be to Allah and guide him through his journey. He had been honored to have been appointed as father’s advisor following time spent as a palace guard and he had been rewarded with riches and an esteemed position.
But the growing obsession the sheik had for the pale foreigner did not bode well. The people respected the sheik, and it was partly due to his father's memory and reign, but also due to Mohammed's own wise rule.
There was talk in the bazaars and inside the court and harem that the girl had bewitched their lord. They called Katharine a witch and a sorceress and claimed she had stolen the sheik's soul.
Many of the men in the bazaars spoke of Katharine's surpassing beauty and that in the act of fellatio, she had swallowed his seed and his soul. Some called her a succubus, while others just wanted her stoned and dead.
