Finally, this day came around again this year. Today is the death anniversary of my dear mother. As per the custom of the house, everyone in the mansion was dressed head-to-toe in black today as a sign of mourning and remembrance of my mother. I woke up at dawn to shower and get dressed. Reiner and Laura helped me get dressed in a long silk black dress that was matched with a big black bow headband. Black patent leather mid-heel shoes completed the look. The absolute must-have accessory for today are big and black sunglasses. The bigger the better to cover my swollen eyes when I cry. I cry every year; this year won’t be any different.
Today, Lucien and I will visit my mother’s grave which was located on a hilltop in the outskirts. Due to family politics, my mother was not laid to rest in the Rosenhall’s family graveyard. I’m sure she is much happier where she is now rather than being buried underground forever amongst the dead and gone Ro
“I will marry Angela because I have to. But I don’t love her. I never have, I never planned to, and I never will,” Lucien replied earnestly. I guess I was relieved that he didn’t love her.“I see. I thought you’re marrying her out of love like how you married my mother. I didn’t think you would marry without love,” I replied honestly.“Natalia. Listen carefully…” Lucien said in a low voice as he stepped closer to me to place both his hands on my shoulders.“Yes?” I replied.“I’ve never married anyone for love,” Lucien stated blandly.“What do you mean…by that?” I asked, confused. What about my mother?“I won’t be marrying Angela for love, and I didn’t marry your mother because I loved her either,” Lucien stated, clearer t
The worst part out of all of this was that you couldn’t ask the dead questions to find out the truth, I thought to myself, as Reiner escorted me to my bedroom. It was close to dinner time and today Lucien was home. Well, it’s not like I can keep avoiding him forever. I didn’t even bother to change for dinner.I sat down at the dinner table wearing the same long black dress that I wore to visit my mother’s grave. I apologized silently to the chef and all the kitchen staffs in my head. I’m sure they did a wonderful job crafting all the dishes that made part of our full course dinner, but to me, it just tasted like dry sand.Lucien was silent as he ate his food. I wonder when it all started. When did I stop looking forward to spending time alone with Lucien at dinner? When did I start to avoid having dinner alone with him? If I knew, would I be able to do something to fix this or was it already too late?&nb
What do you think about your first love? For me, the feeling of falling in love for the first time is so innocently sweet and daringly uncontrollable. You can’t pick who would be your first love and sometimes, he could be someone completely random. The boy who held your hand during your first sports day in primary school. The boy who just moved in next door. Your handsome homeroom teacher. Your older sibling’s best friend…or in my case, my stepfather. I’ve been in love with my stepfather for as long as I can remember. Probably sometime after my mother passed away. As I grew older, I realized that Lucien is absolutely a sight to behold, but when I was younger his looks were probably not what I fell in love with. I didn’t fall in love with him at first sight, that’s for sure. I don’t know how or when it started; however, at some point I surely fell in love with him. “Have you figured it out yet?”
He’s so close and I wished that we would remain this close to each other in body and in spirit as well from now on. I placed my hand lightly on the side of his face as I gazed deep into his eyes. “He must have cared for me a lot and he had magnificently green eyes…just like yours…” I replied shyly. Lucien, why didn’t you tell me all this time. Were you waiting for me to remember all by myself? “He sounds like a truly wonderful person…doesn’t he?” Lucien said teasingly as he closed the distance to place his lips softly on mine. We kissed sweetly, taking it slow because we had all the time in the world. I felt Lucien’s arms around my shoulders as he pulled me even closer to him as his playful lips teased mine. I wanted to feel his hot tongue against my own, but I wanted to enjoy this moment without rushing it. I moaned softly when Lucien parted my lips with the tip of his tongue as he slid it inside the depths of my
Lucien stripped off his shirt in one swift motion before taking off my robe. Throwing our clothes to the floor before returning his attention back to me. His hand squeezed my breasts a little too roughly before he took my other nipple into his hot mouth. He sucked it hard, and I whimpered his name in pleasure.“Do you want me?” Lucien asked as his hand guided mine to his throbbing hardness. He was large and hard already. I wanted to take his length into my pussy. I’ve been waiting for so long for this. He’s never offered to go all the way with me before when we’ve had sex previously.“Do you even have to ask?” I replied back with a question of my own. It was obvious that I wanted him.“I don’t have a condom with me. I never bring a woman in here, you see…” Lucien raised his concern to my attention.“It’s a safe day. You do
I wrapped my legs around his hips and my arms around his neck. He was getting harder again inside of my hole. I could feel it because his cock was still buried deep inside of my body as he carried me towards the bed. I bet he’s going to fuck me again, I thought as my insides trembled with anticipation.He laid me on the bed as he loomed on top of me. I drew his head towards me so that I could kiss him, I inserted my tongue into his mouth to taste him again. Twirling our tongues together felt amazing and I couldn’t stop moaning into his mouth. I wrapped my legs around his hip tighter and felt him grow harder and bigger inside of me.“I want you again, Natalia. Open your legs wider for me,” Lucien instructed hurriedly as his hands tugged at my legs to open them wider for him.“I want you too…” I mumbled softly and was awarded with his charming smile.I heard a
The next morning when I returned to my room, Reiner was there leaning on my door. The last thing that I need right now is to explain why I wasn’t in my room and where I went.“Where have you been?” Reiner asked without looking at me.“I went to find something to snack on in the kitchen,” I replied. Yes, I lied. I hate it, I’ve been lying so much lately.“Since 2AM? Did you fall asleep in the kitchen as well?” Reiner shot back with narrowed eyes.“Have you been standing there since 2AM?” I asked in shock.“Long enough to figure out that you were gone practically all night,” Reiner replied as he faced me.“I don’t think I have to explain myself to you. Step aside, please. I want to be alone,” I said softly as I tried to walk past him into my bedroom.T
“Oh…and I wasn’t lying about the stars. You can see a bunch of stars from this mansion because it has a stargazing tower,” Edward defended himself as he winked at me.A stargazing tower, huh? This place is away from the city too so it made sense that we would be able to see the stars from here.‘I guess he’s always had an interest in astronomy…’ Lucien’s words came back to me. It can’t be…did Lucien figure it out?“You don’t live here, right?” I asked for confirmation. This place was too far from the city for daily use, I thought.“Right. I have a few other places at the city center. I don’t come here often so the old man you saw earlier must be so overjoyed that I’m here today. Let’s eat a lot at dinner to please him, ok?” Edward said as he took my hand in his before leading me deeper into the mans
