Ranulf is illegitimate, has suffered from an affair with a selfish well born beauty and wants to avoid an obvious lady like Reina. And besides, she is too tiny and bossy. But the offer proves more than he can resist and he soon finds he wants to take Reina to bed as often as possible. But he is a big brute and his new wife tells him she wants him to pleasure her.
