The search for Lucian began as the king had kept to his words and began his search. Damon on the other hand wasn't patient enough so he assisted the king. All their efforts seemed to be in vain as they didn't get any sign of Lucian.Meanwhile at the cave Lucian was kept hostage."Take two steps away from him now or you will get it" the beautiful female demon said as she came into the cave.Lucian couldn't see her face until she got close to where he was."And who are you to tell us what to do?" The eldest of the men asked."Who I am should be the least of your worries. Just drop the rod and move away" the demon lady spoke again."And if we refuse" the shortest said as he turned to look at her while trying to frighten her.The beautiful female demon just smiled as she told them "if I were you I would run". The humans proved stubborn as they refused to leave, they tried to stand up to her.Before they could comprehend what was going on, one of them began to burn. The others became frig
“My Lord," Lucian heard a familiar voice say as he gradually woke up from his subconscious state.Slowly opening up his eyes, he looked up at the figure who was standing above him and he recognized his face as that of his personal guard and friend, Damon.“How are you feeling, My Lord?" Damon asked again with a look showing concern though Lucian knew Damon was trying his best to hide it.“Where am I?" Lucian found his words coming out slowly. He was still feeling a bit weak from the poison.“You are in the human king's palace, My Lord."Damon said and Lucian picked out the fact that Damon intentionally refused to address the place as home.“What happened?" Lucian said as he tried to sit up properly on the bed.“I don't know my Lord, you were missing for a whole day. I was hoping you will be able to give us some information about who abducted you." Damon said.“I was missing?" Lucian asked, trying to remember what exactly happened.“Yes, my Lord. Don't you remember?" Damon said with a
Lucian took his time to study the body of his beautiful wife, she looks ravishingly beautiful he thought and he couldn't really wait to devour every part of her but today he wants to take his time to enjoy her like it would be his last.“You are really beautiful, wife." His words were soft and genuine causing a happy, shy smile to form on the face of Anna.“You are beautiful too," she said as they locked eyes together in a blazing gaze that set their very souls and heart in flames.A soft smile touched Lucian's lips, he really loves the fact that she called him beautiful. Nobody had called him beautiful before. Handsome, yes but never beautiful. He likes the sound of it especially coming from her, his love and wife.For this he is going to give her the most pleasurable feeling she has ever felt in her life tonight, he made a promise to himself.Bringing his face down to hers, he brushed his lips gently against hers, teasingly causing a sweet wave of current to pass from his lips to he
It was nearly evening, the sun was about to set over the horizon and a car cruised to a stop and the foot of a boulder. The doors on the driver's and passenger's side opened and two people, a man and a woman stepped out. "It's beautiful out here, Lucian. When was this lake discovered?" "It's always been here. Since we found this mass of land." Lucian shrugged, walking back to the car trunk, pulling it open and bringing out a picnic basket and a mat. Anna made to help Lucian caddy some of the stuff they were to use only to receive a glare which made her laugh. "Why don't you want me to help?" "Because I can do it all by myself?" Lucian asked no one in particular. The beach was close by, so they walked a bit before they got to the beach. Anna stopped and stared for a long time. The sandy beach of the lake was a very light brown and the blue lake sparkled with the evening sun. Bright orange, pink and blue. There were tall palm trees scattered around the b
Anna and Lucian lay flat on their backs. They were already full from eating. They weren't even done with everything in the basket. They still had a dessert of tiramisu to consume, but Anna had suggested resting a bit before eating that. Lucian's arm left the sands and landed flat on Anna's bare thigh. Her short flannel gown rode up and her smooth fair thighs were bare for Lucian to feast on. "Let's go for a swim?" Anna said after a while. Lucian shook his head. "I do not think that it is a good idea." "Why?"Anna asked, lifting half of her body up and supporting it with her elbows. "You just ate, woman. Do you want to swim with a full belly?" Anna stuck out her tongue at him and lay back on the mat, staring up at the sky that was almost midnight blue. "So, what do we do now that we aren't swimming? Watch the sky in silence?" "Let's talk, Anna. Get to know each other. Now's the best time for that. I don't think we've ever had a very meaningful conver
"I know how you feel, Anna. I know you're strong enough to heal from all you went through. You haven't healed and it is very evident. You're holding back your past and it's making you stagnant. You don't want to move on and live a better life." "I do want to! I really want to. But each time I try to live for myself, all I think about is Yvonne how she'd have been proud of me. But now, there's no one to live for. No one can make me proud." "That's the wrong way of thinking. You're not living for anyone. You're living for you and if you don't change that mindset, it's going to take a toll on you." "It's so hard. After all I've been through. Yvonne was a very prominent figure in my life and I promised myself to work hard and make her enjoy the rest of her life, only for her to die before I was even started. There, at the hospital, all my ambitions died. There was nobody to work hard for. I only worked hard to graduate from uni because Yvonne promised that I was going to finish
"Ryan sent me an email. Read out its content, ALEXXIS." ALEXXIS did. It was an apology email. Ryan had stated in it that he was really sorry about how he had behaved back at the pub that day and how he was ready to settle his scores with Kevin. He still wanted to work with him and he hoped Kevin would accept his apology. "Did he attach any cheque to the mail?" "No, boss." ALEXXIS replied. "No chaque was attached to this mail." "Any form of gift?" "Negative." Better. If Ryan had done that, that would have been the end of any partnership he was thinking they'd have. Kevin loathed the idea of adding material things to the apology. It felt like whoever was apologizing was buying his forgiveness and his forgiveness was not to be bought. He forgave anyone willingly, not with a price. "A positive reply. Tell him we have a meeting scheduled by seven tomorrow evening. We have things to talk about." ALEXXIS nodded and tapped furiously against the screen
Anna enjoyed her evening. She hadn't experienced this for a long time and she wanted to relive this moment again. After swimming, Lucian had lifted her up and had kissed her, their wet bodies moving against each other. He lay her down on the beach, not caring if the sharp sand was going to stain their skins. Lucian kissed her body, savored her skin, worshiped her body under the moonlight and made her moan with pleasure. He didn't go further than that and Anna wondered if she'd still live if anything more than that had happened. It was late at night when they got home and Lucian had suggested that they slept together in his room. Anna refused with reasons that he had to wake up really early to be at Ohio for the council meeting. They both retired to their respective rooms and Anna stayed awake for a while before falling asleep. At exactly three am in the night, Anna woke up with a startle. She was dreaming, again. It was the exact dream she had a few days
