Multiple demons fell to their knees with that word alone, unable to fight the order. The word rang through my bones. Anna still stood, but I saw Yroul fighting it. She bit her lip and fisted her hands as if it was an effort to keep standing. "I said... BOW." Adrian's loud voice vibrated around me. I held in a groan. My body wanted to go down. I wanted my knees to hit the ground and my forehead to touch the ground. He was my King, and I had to obey his order. I wanted to obey his order, wanted to please him. The entire crowd fell to their knees. Servants, civilians and visitors all went down. Yroul also went down, her head bared to the side for her king. I still stood, together with Anna and Adrian's brothers. Anna had bitten her lip so hard, blood dripped down from her lip to her chin, where it dripped to the ground. I held my head up high. "Anna." Adrian spoke, instantly getting Anna's attention. He took two steps in her direction. "Bow." He simply said. She fell down, her knees
I really had no idea what the fuck happened in the last hour. The plan was that I confronted Anna, would somehow get her down to the dungeons with Ren, and would then go back to the podium to join the rest of the ceremony. Ren was there to help me if I needed it, and to alert Adrian if I was in any danger. I had to convince Adrian for this because he didn't want to leave my side. I had almost fought with him over it but I didn't want to risk Anna running away again. Nothing went according to plan. I had another shower in Adrian's room, with Adrian and Ren right outside the door waiting for me. I begged Ren to stay. His touch was one I needed right now. "Tell me." Adrian pleaded once he sat me down with a plate of food in front of me. "Tell me about the mental test." I looked down at the food with my stomach turning over. Ren sat opposite of me and Adrian paced through the room nervously. "I don't think you want to hear, Adrian." I replied. My tiredness was becoming a real problem
I woke up with a throbbing need between my legs. Almost moaning, I put my hand on Adrian's chest and kissed his neck slowly. Adrian groaned, still sleeping, and put his arm around me, pulling me closer. I snuggled in but was stopped when I felt my other hand on someone else. It was still night and I looked behind me in the dark bedroom. Ren's head was close to mine. His eyes were shut and his arm was half around me. He snored softly and moved slightly when I removed my hand from his. I looked at Adrian again, feeling horny. I bit my lip in an effort to stop moaning when I saw his peaceful face facing me. He really was a freaking God. How could someone be this attractive? His face was so relaxed, so different than when his King mask was on. Ignoring my carnal need to sit on top of Adrian and have my way, I silently left the bed and walked into the bathroom. My peaceful dreams made me more relaxed. It made all the horrors of yesterday seem small, far away. Jeez. I looked like I ha
Ren grabbed my right hand and I felt nothing.. Until Adrian's hand landed on my shoulder and I almost jumped up. Ren didn't hold back on his essence of relaxation and I immediately felt super, super relaxed. Adrian's hand stayed on my skin. I exhaled a shaky breath when Adrian's hand moved down from my shoulder to my wrist. My entire body and mind felt so relaxed that his touch just added to the sensation. "This okay?" I heard Adrian whisper to me. I nodded and smiled softly, my eyes still shut. I felt Adrian stepping closer to me. His hand enclosed my wrist and his other hand went to my cheek. His fingers slowly travelled down to the front of my neck, where they halted. Ren's hand tightened around mine. More calmness flooded into me but I also felt a trickle of excitement. That excitement was like a kiss along the back of my neck. "Say stop if you want me to stop, okay Dove?" Adrian asked me. My breathing deepened. "Okay." I replied in a whisper. "Good girl." Adrian whispered i
"You knew that we kissed?" Adrian asked Ren, meaning when I kissed him in the tent when I... helped him. "Yes. Ren got mad at me for that." I answered instead. "And then you got mad at me." Adrian retorted, his one eyebrow raising. Ren stood up and walked towards us with his hand stretched out. "Yeah, well, I still thought about you as the annoying human who was incredibly good at seducing demons." Ren pondered. I looked at Adrian again, who still had his hands on me. "It's true," Adrian started, "you were annoying. Still are, at times." I gasped jokingly and hit Adrian on his naked chest. "Says the demon who ordered me around like I was some dog." I replied with a wink. Adrian suddenly moved his hand to my neck again, making my heartbeat spike too quickly. "Damnit," Adrian swore, before looking at Ren again, "we are not done yet. Come here, Ren." Ren's hand touched me and the electricity that zapped him away was still present in his body. I yelped and jumped towards Adrian, who he
"Your wish is my command, dove." Adrian whispered in my ear. My arm tightened around his neck. When my hand went down to Adrian's shorts and I caressed the big bulge, Adrian inhaled sharply and another wave of lust fell over me. Even Ren behind me moaned. I was still ridiculously high on the bolt of lust Ren fed me earlier and moaned happily with them. I remembered Ren was his previous partner. He had seen Adrian have sex with his partners. Would they both...? Adrian suddenly grabbed me and threw me on the bed, making me land on my back. "I know what you are thinking, Dove. But don't forget that you are mine and mine alone. Let me make it clear to you." I heard Adrian say from the dark. "Hold her down, Ren." Adrian's voice came from the end of the bed. His voice was a scary order in the dark. As if he knew I could hardly see, two candles by the bed lit up. Ren crawled on the bed and stared at me as if he was entranced. His eyes roamed my body and I could've been naked, his stare
"Truly inspiring, Adrian. And that bow! I almost shed a tear." Dagon loudly laughed. She was lazily hanging over the couch, teasing Adrian senseless. "I'm going to enjoy the moment you leave, Dagon, after one of our brothers is crowned as King." Adrian responded in a bored tone. Acteus and Levistus smiled cruelly at Dagon. I was sitting next to Adrian, reading Pride and Prejudice and eyeing all the brothers and sister, over my book. My legs were draped over his and he was massaging my legs softly. I needed that massage, because my legs were burning from all the exercise throughout the night. We hadn't spoken about last night, but Adrian woke up grinning down at me when he touched me and instead of flinching, I smiled. "You will vote for me." Dagon replied in a threatening tone. Adrian laughed mockingly. "Never in a million years, Dagon. You're not fit as queen. You have a horrible temper. And don't let me get started on your jealousy. At least Levistus can hold back a little-" WHAC
"Absolutely not," was Aemun's immediate reaction. "A hard no." Xael said next. "I'm not risking my life again, angel." Ren joined the two others. "We will be back before Adrian gets back. I promise." I pleaded. "No, Elle. The King will murder us. Literally." Aemun refused. I looked at Ren with pleading eyes. "Ren.." "No." Ren immediately said. "But... They will go after Dagon. Your woman." I said next. Ren looked at me doubtful. "We can make sure she wins this thing. Don't you want to see her as queen?" I asked next, my hands grabbing his hand in the process. I felt doubt coming from him. I don't think he even knew he let me feel his emotions. "She saved my life," I whispered, "I would be dead without her. There's only one way to pay her back." I looked at Aemun and Xael with tearful eyes. Sadness went into me from Ren. And anger. And then frustration. I looked at Ren again. "Please. We will be back before the challenge is over. We can just.. Help her a little. Like she did for me
