Chapter: CourtMia was dumbfounded. For a few seconds, her brain froze. Then, she pulled her hands on his arms and he bit her lower lip, sending electricity through her. “W-wait..” “Wasn’t it what you wanted?” he asked, licking her neck, just how he wanted. She tasted too sweet!“What?” She asked and when he bit her ear globe, she moaned. “Hmmm… you have been tempting me since day one, Mia. And now, you must take responsibility for that.”“Mmm?” She made, dizzy. “B-but… Lily..” For a moment, Radna had forgotten all about the other woman. Then, with the mention of Lily’s name, he realized what he was doing. He rested his forehead on Mia’s shoulder, holding her by the waist. “You are dangerous.” He murmured. “Me?” She asked in disbelief, breathing hard. “You.. you kissed me!” His hands closed even more around her skin and he looked her in the eyes. “You were asking for that! Is it part of your plan to make me stay away from your sister?” “Have you lost your mind?” She asked. “I would never do

Chapter: Dancing“Yes. He is amiable. Nice to talk to. Has a good nature. And he seems to adore my sister. I believe he would make a wonderful husband.”Radna was very much displeased by her answer. How on earth could she see Ewald as a good partner for her sister? He was not handsome enough, smart enough, rich enough. He was a mere Marquis. Radna was a Duke, please! ‘Why are you putting yourself into this? You are to be with Lily, not Mia!’, he scolded himself. “Your Grace?” Lily called for him and he blinked a few times, before looking at Lily. “I’m sorry. I got lost in thoughts.”“I see. Well, Lord Ewald is coming his way with Mia.”Radna looked to the side and saw Mia with her arm on Ewald’s and he pursed his lips. She was glowing, beautiful, resplendent. And Edwald looked like a stone. A tone on Radna’s shoe! “Your Grace!” Ewald, puffing his chest, proud because he had the most beautiful woman inside those walls, attached to his arm. Yes, Lily was beautiful, like an angel, but Mia… ‘She look

Chapter: RedThe next week, Ewald didn’t take Radna’s words seriously. He visited Mia every single morning and, of course, rumors of a possible engagement were circulating. During breakfast, Randal kept glancing at Radna, who didnt touch his food. “What is bothering you, brother?” Radna ws not listening and Randal had to call him two more times, until one of the servants poked him. He looked around and found his brother, the King, staring at him with an eyebrow lifted. “I’m sorry, what did you say?” Randal put his cuttery on the table and smiled. “Why are you so distracted? Is it because of a woman?” Randal asked. He knew Radna had been visiting the Chapman residence quite often. “Yes.” Radna answered. “One of the Miss Chapmans, perhaps?”“Yes.” “Which one?’ Randal asked and smirked, but Radna just smiled at him and got back to eating. “Oh, come on, brother!”“No.”Randal knew better than anyone not to keep pushing Radna. As much as they were twins, Randal didn’t have different eye-color

Chapter: Stay awayMia gulped and looked behind her shoulder. She saw a pair of distinguished eyes and also, her reflection on them. “Grand… Duke.” She started to say, but he leaned even more, turning her around to face him. “Mia…” He closed his eyes and inhaled her scent, feeling his mouth watering instantly. His lips were very close to her face and Mia didn’t know what to do. “Are you alright?” The coachman asked, patting on the window of the carriage. It brought Radna and Mia back to reality. He cleared his throat, before releasing her and sitting on his seat. Mia said nothing, she just took her seat across from him. “Yes, it is all right, Mr. Dubois.”Mia didn’t look at Radna, she was afraid of looking at him and seeing his judgment. What was she thinking? She was aching for his kiss. She had never kissed before.‘That’s your problem. You are too old for those foolish things now, Mia Chapman’, she told herself, looking out the window. Radna wanted Mia to look at him and, at the same time, he d

Chapter: A picnic!Inside the carriage, Radna was sitting next to Mia.“It’s to balance better!” Lily had said, after all, her dress was much more voluminous and that would make up for Radna's size.Mia said nothing, she wasn't in the mood. Radna took what Lily said in an attempt to please her. And when he saw how she smiled, he thought he was succeeding.Mia's leg brushed against his every now and then, and as the carriage gave a slight jolt, her hand, seeking support, settled right on Radna's thigh, and Radna swallowed hard.In that human body, with human desires and sensations, he had no way of controlling his reactions. Mia's touch was like she was on fire and he wanted nothing more than to get burned.'I must be losing my mind!' he thought, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Mia, who was staring at her hands in her lap. She was clearly nervous.“Sister, the day seems to be excellent for a picnic. Too bad we didn't bring anything to eat…” Lily commented and Mia gave her a sideways look. Lily w

Chapter: A visitMia walked into the living room feeling completely betrayed by Lily."I do not believe that!" Mia said, huffing in anger.“Dear sister, you look stunning in that dress!” Lily said, smiling and her eyes shining. “I bet you got a lot of compliments.”"Don't even try to divert the subject, young lady!" Mia said, hands on her hips, very annoyed. "You tricked me, Lily!""Me?" Lily said, putting her hand to her chest, with a face of genuine confusion. However, she wasn't really confused.Mia let out a derisive laugh.“You said something horrible had happened to your hair! And that you couldn't leave the house!"“But it did happen.” Lily said, innocently. “You can ask Edwina. She saw the state of my hair.”Mia closed her eyes, took a deep breath at least three times before looking at Lily, her lips pressed together into a thin line. She knew Edwina, Lily’s maid, would say just whatever Lily asked her to. "What's the matter with your hair, Lily dear?"Lily broke into a huge smile.“It didn't
