Disclaimer:
The character of Ardeth Bay is the property of
Stephen Sommers and Universal Studios. The situations and all other
characters created and owned by me.
Rating: EAC18+ for attempted rape and forced sexual acts.
Codes: m/f, m/f/f. Others will be added in future posts as necessary
Author notes: This is something I've been working on for a long time
now. It's definitely a darker portrayal of Ardeth than we're used to seeing,
and there are sensitive themes some readers might not wish to read. Pay
attention to rating and codes. A complete departure from my usual Ardeth &
Angelina universe. Feedback would be much appreciated at
ariane@landofdreams.net . This
story is also available at

Author notes 2:
Parts 1-4 have been betaed and slightly revised.
Rubicon - A line
that when crossed permits of no return and typically results in irrevocable
commitment.
