~Penny~

By sunrise, we were about four hours away from our destination—a cold coastal town named Glacier's Edge. But where did the sun go? Even at nine in the morning, it was so frigid cold, and foggy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the ship sailed really close to the North Pole overnight. As I walked into the open deck area, the crew wore heavy wool coats, hats, and gloves. The steward seemed to have used a hammock by the wood-burning stove at night to keep warm.

Alice was serving alcohol to everyone on board while Lucy and Marie were busy getting the breakfast ready. Leo was probably still in bed. I dared to snuggle up to him once he passed out last night, but he wasn't a deep sleeper apparently, since I woke up in my bed this morning.

"Good morning, My Lady," Lucy said, beckoning me to join them in the galley kitchen. "His Grace likes these added to his eggs." She passed some cold smoked herring and cheese to me without explaining much.

I wasn't very helpful in the kitchen, b

    ~Penny~ As the ship touched land and everyone rushed to get offboard to the freezing Tundra, Mr. Rolfe walked to me with a stack of letters. The one on the top was in Lawrence's handwriting but with Ben's address. So Lawrence somehow knew we were going to stop at Glacier's Edge for a few days. “For me?” I asked, snatching it from Mr. Rolfe's hand before he attracted Leo's attention with his deep, ringing voice. For Ben's safety, it was best that Leo never knew about his existence. I was still upset with Leo and didn't want to talk to him. After that slap, he also avoided me. "How is this water not frozen?" Lucy exclaimed, covering her face with a scarf. "I wanted to say goodbye to Marie before she left but can barely see in this fog." "I know, it's crazy! Not even three in the afternoon and the sun is setting already." And I thought Mountbatten was cold. This place was surrounded by impressive snow-covered mountains just like Mountbatten, but that gorgeous pale wintry light was m

    ~Penny~How could I be so irresponsible? I cursed under my breath, the chill of the late night air seeping through my coat. At two in the morning, after tossing and turning for hours, the realization suddenly struck me–where did the letter that Mr.Rolfe handed me go?It must have slipped out of my dress at some point. But where? I forgot all about it when I got off the carriage and settled in the cottage for dinner. It was snowing lightly now and the moon was out while I looked as suspicious as ever, tracing my way back to the garden and lawns I walked through earlier in the evening. Dawn was approaching soon. I glanced up at the second story window where Leo's room was. He must be fast asleep, maybe with Hannah curled in his arms. As I turned away, I thought I saw a flicker of movement.Was he awake? Could he see me out here in the cold? I had to hurry back to my room, hoping no one else stumbled upon the letter once the snow melted. The next morning, we set out to the ocean with

    ~Penny~I shook my head in refusal. "I hate you after what you did with Hannah. Your touch disgusts me.""My touch? You get wet just looking at me." He whispered, his breath warm against my ear. As he traced his fingers down my spine, I shuddered against him, hating how soaked he was making me. "I don't have to feel your pussy to know how wet you are for me."I took a deep breath, desperately shaking my head in a no, denying the truth in his words and the caressing strokes of his fingers against my lower back. My nipples hardened under my dress, yearning for him to fondle my breasts."You let that handsy fucker touch you. You forgot who still owns this pussy, didn't you?" His fingers reached my folds as he buried his face in the crook of my neck."It's not yours. I'm NOT yours. I hate you!"I scrambled against his hold, refusing to acknowledge how shaky and breathy my voice was. He wrapped his hand around my throat and pulled me closer, tugging me into a wild kiss while using his othe

    ~Leo~The Night Before:What was she looking for so desperately? It was so late at night, and she was freezing her ass in this biting cold weather. I waited for her to find whatever she was looking for so that I could run downstairs and confront her.Minutes turned to hours and she was still out there, her delicate frame shivering under the thick layers of wool she was bundled up in. Her long flowing hair was no longer tucked under her cloak. It danced wildly against the icy breeze as she started scraping the snow off the flowerbeds, looking even more distraught as she peered into the hedges and shook a bunch of shrubs.Was it jewelry that she lost? Maybe something precious or a souvenir from her family? I had no idea if she had any family left. Whoever appointed her to ruin me had done a pretty good job wiping out all her records. I had sent my men to find out more from her aunt before we left on this trip but her aunt went missing.Penny could feel my gaze. She suddenly peered up to

    ~Penny~My body was still twinging from a sweet ache and I savored every bit of it silently on my way back to the cottage. I stroked my arms where his fingers had dug into my flesh, thinking about how he was able to make me come so hard."I think His Grace is waiting outside for you, My Lady," Alice said, straining her eyes to see through the falling snow as the cottages loomed closer.He was probably going to ask me if I touched myself. As I stepped down the carriage, I made sure not to look his way, in fear that he would withhold my orgasms again for pleasuring myself without his permission."Penny, Hold up!" Ice spread through my chest when I heard his voice. I was frozen in place with terror.If he could kill me with just one look, I'd be already dead on the ground right now. I didn't need to ask him what was wrong. The murderous expression on his face with Lawrence's letter in his hand was enough to make me run for the hills. My heart went into overdrive and my feet took off befo

    ~Penny~My spine stiffened. Was he going to stick his cock in my ass? His fingers brushed up my bare thigh, his hands groping my ass and pulling it apart."I'll use this body of yours the way it should be used, and you are going to take it like the slutty little whore you are.""Your Grace, I don't mean to interrupt you in any way, but... I d-don't think it's a good idea..." my voice wavered slightly as he waited for me to say more. "My uncle has two daughters, and they are pretty horny. They..." My words tapered off into silence when I saw the slightest of a smirk on his face."They got fucked in the ass?" He asked, massaging the opening of the tight hole between my cheeks."They... aahhh." A whimper escaped my lips as he pushed the tip of his finger inside of me."Touch yourself," he ordered, pushing his finger into my ass while using his other hand to release one of my hands from the restraints.I blinked. "Er---"

    ~Penny~I woke once again to darkness, with just a hint of warm light by the fireplace. My thighs were wobbly as I got off the bed to clean up. Even a hot bath didn't do much to heal the achy thighs. The lingering dull throb in countless spots on my body was oddly satisfying.Alice exclaimed as I approached the kitchen with hesitant steps. "Oh look who's here! It sounded like you were dying up there Penny, screaming sooo loud, heavens!" Lucy just stared at me silently as a slight warmth crept up my neck. Alice brought some cutlery to the dining table when I reached for a plate."I'm starving, Alice," I said, hoping there was something to eat. What time was it anyway? "Um, where's Le- His Grace?""His Grace went with Miss Byrne to the mountains, to show her some ice caves and hot springs up there."Huh, give me a fucking break. My appetite died just like that. I stared at the plate full of poached fish, roasted potatoes, and carrots that Alice served me. It was half past six, the sun

    ~Penny~The pendulum clock swung in its steady rhythm, interrupting my argument with Leo with eleven deep chimes. I had less than fifteen minutes to get out of this room if I wanted to leave Mountbatten."Let me go, you son of a g---""That's no way to talk to Your Grace," he said, pressing his body into mine."You are being so cruel. Why can't you just let me go? I'll live my life away from you and Lawrence. I won't ever bother you." I gripped his shirt sleeves, not letting him close the gap between us. "I swear, you'll never see me again." I huffed out."Oh, I believe you. I won't see you again because Lawrence will hunt you down and kill you. Don't you have a brother there?"I took in a sharp breath. "How do you know that?""That's not important. I know you wouldn't abandon him, and so does Lawrence."My gaze flickered to the ornate clock on the wall with apprehension. The next train to Campbell would depart exactly at noon today. Leo wanted us to rest up after the long cruise and

    ~Penny~I didn't know what came up in me to tell him this. I just wanted to stop the guard from clarifying about the meeting with Alice. But the flicker of longing in Leo's eyes and how he looked at me as if we hadn't seen each other for days even when it was just one night, pulled me towards him like a magnet.Until then, a fierce internal battle was raging within me, my mind screaming at me to flee Mountbatten as soon as possible. But my heart craved his comfort and solace, his familiar warmth. It yearned to share the news about the child growing inside me."What? Leo, is this true?"His mom exclaimed before I even had a chance to process Leo's reaction. When I told him about the baby, his face crumpled as if it were the last thing he ever wanted from me. "It's just one of her new moves to force you to keep her here, isn't it, Leo? Say something!""What the fuck Leo?" His dad roared. "Can you not fuck this up any more than it already is?""Do you believe all this, Ian?" His mom aske

    ~Leo~"That would be all Mr. Gilbert," I told my dresser, accepting the clean, pressed shirt from him.In less than three hours, I'd be boarding the train to Campbell with Penny. My parents, Trevor, and almost everyone seemed to want to go with me, not trusting me enough to bring my sister back on my own. They were certain I'd choose Penny over Mabel.Why would I make such bonehead decisions and agree to those outrageous terms with the Campbells if I could have simply kept Penny?"What is it, Mr. Gilbert?" Being my dresser and advisor, he lingered, wanting to add his two cents about what a mistake I was making. He got to witness the scandalous spectacle Penny created on my coronation day firsthand."Leo, we would like a word with you." Mom's nagging from the other side of the door grated on my nerves. I chose to ignore her but she barged in anyway."Is this why you refused to see us yesterday?" Her fingers traced the edge of the purple bruise on my neck. "Goodness gracious, what has s

    ~Penny~"Look at me, Penny." His deep, commanding voice made my body burn from the inside out. My legs were weak from the lingering orgasm but he didn't give me a chance to recover. His hands ran down the curve of my back, yanking on my dress as my body bounced on the bed."Please..." I begged him to hurry up, too scared to use my fingers."Show me that pussy," he ordered, spreading my knees with his.He undid his pants and flung them toward the door, his stormy gray eyes devouring my breasts and my wet heat. His gaze lingered a beat longer on my stomach, making me nervous. I instinctively covered it with my hands. Was he able to tell it wasn't as flat anymore?Yanking my hands away, he lowered his head, peppering my midriff with kisses. When his mouth found the hollow of my navel and his tongue laved the delicate curve, I threw my legs across his back, tugging his face closer."Oh my god, please, yes, suck on my skin, just like that, just like that...fuck!" I gripped his hair and rock

    ~Leo~"Dude, how has your dick not fallen off yet?" Trevor was being a pain in the ass right now, his judgmental gaze darting between Penny and me. "If you weren't such a cockblock banging at my door all the time, maybe it would have," I retorted, grabbing the bunch of legal documents he brought for me."You are fucking obsessed with her."He wasn't wrong. Penny could get me so fucking sore and still leave me craving for more. When I asked her to meet me at my cabin, I didn't really know what I wanted to do with her. My body was strung tight from a desperate need to be close to her. "I hope you realize the gravity of this decision." Trevor's voice oozed with disapproval as I skimmed through the agreement that Dad had drawn up with the help of our lawyers. "You want to abandon every project that helped Mountbatten outcompete the Campbells in trade and industry for half a decade now? I'll be sure not to be anywhere near when you and your dad talk about this totally avoidable setback."

    ~Penny~Thirteen more hours. I had thirteen long hours to wait before we reached Mountbatten. I would have to run before Leo took me over to Lawrence. There was no way I could ever tell him about the baby... if there was a baby.Leo never came inside me. I was probably panicking for nothing. I did have delayed periods in the past, sometimes I think. I might have developed seasickness over time. Was that a thing, to be completely fine on the sea for days and---"Er, My Lady, let's take a step back," Lucy's words cut through my thoughts."Huh?" I forgot I was in the kitchen with her."The milk. It was too hot when you added that ginger.""Oh..." I looked down at the saucepan to see the disaster boiling away gloriously. Lucy gave me a recipe for ginger posset, something she claimed to be wonderful during colder weather. It just needed milk, ginger, honey, and nutmeg to be mixed in four easy, straightforward steps. And I fucked up step one.I looked over the recipe again. Lucy had clearly

    ~Penny~ Leo's cousin has been banging on the door for the past five minutes, wanting to meet him. But Leo had resolved to ruin me today. The small log cabin room barely offered any insulation. It was embarrassing to imagine Trevor hearing it every time Leo thrust into me so hard. The room was filled with my cries, our bodies slick against each other. "Come back later, Trev!" He said through clenched teeth, his eyes not leaving my flushed face. "Jeez, Leo." Trevor knocked again. "I have some new intel." "I'll be out in a minute," he said, leaning his lips to my ear and sucking on my lobe. My back was shoved against the wall, my wrists pinned over my head. I was standing on my tiptoes as he slammed into me over and over. The weather was clearing up and we were about to board the ship to Mountbatten in an hour. Leo was acting like he was deprived of sex for decades. I lost count of how many times I came today. There was nothing really to do when we were snowed in but it was time to
