~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~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.

  • Punished by the Duke   Guilty Pleasure

    Rain was pelting down so hard, I could barely see where I was going in the dark. The icy raindrops soaked through my lush hair, turning it into a tangled mess. Thunder roared so loud it made my heart pound louder. The wind whipped hard at my pale yellow gown, sending coarse shivers down my spine.Hugging myself to shield my body from cold, I stopped for a moment and strained my eyes to look at the dense woods. Bursts of blinding lightning illuminated the endless dark skies for just a second. I thought I caught a glimpse of something. Nestled among the trees, it looked like a quaint log cabin. Another flash of lightning, and there it was, a cozy looking wood cabin, flickers of orange glow emanating through its frosted windowpanes.Ah, a fireplace sounded so good right now. I scurried towards it in desperate hope, the damp earth sucking at my feet. After hesitating for a moment, I banged on the door.No answer.I knocked harder this time. Pressing my rain-smeared face to the glass, I

  • Punished by the Duke   The Prince

    ~Penny~The Stable Master's impatient voice echoed through the narrow hallway, shattering the fragile remnants of my sleep. "Penny!! You can't keep the Royals waiting. What is taking you so long?"It was barely dawn, and rain was lashing against the windowpanes. I was still reeling from the dream but there was no time to dwell on it. It was already time to prep the horses for the Prince's guard. I was one of the faceless stable hands in the vast Campbell stables, just like my brother, cousins, and uncle were. Like the stalls I cleaned, my life held a predictable monotony—hay, hooves, and the occasional fleeting memory of a life before it fell apart.My uncle was the Stable Master, a man as sour as the raw week-old milk. Blood meant nothing to him. He'd inherited us, my brother and I, after our parents' tragic train accident during a trip to America. He never missed a chance to remind us, orphans, beholden to his "kindness." Once he sold my parents' properties, life had been the drudge

    ~Penny~"Let me come back to the point, Penny. Jeez woman, you are so distracting." He made it sound as if I walked in here naked. "You will need to live in Mountbatten for a bit. Since you are originally from there, it will be much easier for you to blend in."Easier for what? A part of me ached for the familiar cobblestones of Mountbatten, a world away from this miserable life. But freedom wasn't an option. Not yet. My eighteenth birthday was only a week away. Perhaps I could defy my scowling uncle then and escape with my brother."Pay attention, Penny, will you? The Duke of Mountbatten, Leander Vance Bauer, will be officially coronated on his twenty-fifth birthday. It's only a couple of months from now. He has become a constant growing pain. To make things worse, his people love him too much. His political accession was done years ago but Mountbatten will formally and fully accept him on the day of his coronation."How did this have anything to do with me? I could barely remember

  • Punished by the Duke   The Duke of Mountbatten

    ~Leo~The steam clung to me like a second skin as I stepped out of the bathroom, the luxury of a long, hot bath finally chasing away the past two months' relentless grind. As I walked from the parlor room to the closet, the smell of freshly baked bread and fried eggs infiltrated my senses.Where the hell was my coffee? I needed to fire my incompetent chambermaid right away. After checking the mail she left for me on the dresser, I ran my fingers through my damp hair a few times. Mr. Gilbert, my dresser and personal advisor, should be here soon. Tossing the towel aside, I reached for a crisp white shirt. An unwanted moan resonated through the bedroom. Sprawled across my four-poster bed was my sister's friend, with her lustful gaze brushing over my naked body with no modesty.What the fuck was she still doing here?I wanted her gone before I got out of the bathroom. She was a good fuck, but I was done with her."Get out!""Leo, you treat me like I am some poor filthy wench.""I don't s

  • Punished by the Duke   An Encounter with the Duke

    ~Penny~On the morning of my eighteenth birthday, I set out to Mountbatten with a heavy heart and a mind full of uncertainties and fears. The train chugged towards my hometown for about six hours now but I couldn't sleep a wink. An edgy, frantic energy filled my mind all week.Spying. The very word made my stomach churn. There were so many lies involved, so much at stake if I failed.Lawrence Campbell had mentioned that the nursemaid who failed him before was dead. He didn't care to elaborate if he killed her or the Duke had her executed. Every position of work at the Duke's castle involved stringent background checks, and yet, Lawrence somehow created some fake records for me to show that I lived in Mountbatten all my life. He even went to the extent of writing letters to the housekeeper and butler on my behalf, fabricating lies upon lies.His grand plan, it seemed, was for me to waltz right up to the Duke himself. But the best he could manage was a dressmaker position for the kitche

  • Punished by the Duke   Day One

    ~Penny~I woke up in a panic the next morning and lunged for the window.What time was it?Fully expecting the sun to have already crested the mountains, I pulled the curtains apart to look outside.Heavens! What was this? A snowstorm! The gusty wind was sending flurries of rain and snow against the windowpanes.The first day of my mission. A quick bath later, I draped a scarf over my printed silk dress to cover the deeply scooped neckline. Dressing up to look attractive and alluring was a prime requirement to succeed in this 'Seducing the Duke' plan. The Campbell princes paid me a hefty amount of money for the trip and I burned through most of it buying pretty clothes and accessories. Whatever money was left after that, I lost it all somewhere on the train. "First snow of the season, so early this year," Aunt Molly said nonchalantly, pouring herself a steaming cup of tea as I grabbed my purse along with signed copies of my appointment and recommendation letters.No time for pleasant

    ~Penny~I sucked in a deep breath and slowly turned the door handle. Another silent prayer escaped my lips. So far so good. Stepping inside, I fought the urge to gawk at the breathtaking mountain vista that sprawled through the expansive windows. Luxurious furniture whispered of wealth and privilege, but my mission demanded focus.I approached the ornately framed mirror, its gleaming surface reflecting a nervous intruder. Mail, neatly stacked on the dresser, awaited my inspection. None of them were opened yet. I retrieved a pen and a scrap of paper from my purse and scribbled down the names of the people they were from.Where did he put the opened letters? These were not what I was looking for. I walked over to the wastebasket to take a peek. Empty...Just as I whirled around, my eyes widened and fear ran through my veins as my body collided with the Duke's. The look on his face made every hair on my body stand on end. Despite my clammy palms and sinking stomach, I couldn't help notic

    ~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

  • Punished by the Duke   I Meant Nothing to Him

    ~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

    ~Leo~The relentless snowstorm had delayed my return quite a bit. We left Glacier's Edge three days ago but the morning the ship touched Emerald Isle to stock up on food supplies, it had been terrible weather with blinding blizzards and no visibility for hours at a stretch.The wind was howling like a banshee outside this tiny log cabin I was stuck in. If not for the constant crackling fire in the hearth, we wouldn't have survived this winter's wrath.To make things worse, my parents just wanted to wait until my return. I expected Dad to go get Mabel back but he wanted to be fucking diplomatic and secretive about this whole thing now that all of Mountbatten was scrutinizing every step we took, thanks to Penny.Dad believed Lawrence just wanted Penny in exchange for Mabel. And he was right. It made me want to fling a chair at this darned frost etched window. That twisted fuck Lawrence wanted what I had, just to regain his sense of control. He fully intended to kill Penny once she was d

    ~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~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.
