Aakifahlynn found a couple more books containing valuable information, books with sketches of positions, and one thing in all these sketches: everyone was without clothes.'How scandalous,' Aakifahlynn thought, while her cheeks tinted red in embarrassment as if someone had caught her in the act of doing something wrong.Aakifahlynn realized how deep the waters were, the very waters she decided to dip her toe in. 'What about their underdress? Or their nightshirt, for Goddess's sake?'She mumbled to herself, her tone terrified, shocked with a hint of surprise.And now Aakifahlynn was outraged, and yet she was intrigued, her interest piqued. Boy, was she clueless?Nevertheless, it did open her eyes to how much she did not know about the pleasures of men.It only showed her how much she needed to learn. If she were to pull this off successfully and yield any type of results, or else she would have done nothing more than embarrass herself in front of her husband, or he might simply see it
"I..I..it would be my first time with my husband," Piper jutted out a hand, and she placed a finger on Aakifahlynn's, aka Adeline's lips as she pursed hers and said, "Shhhh, say no more." "Come this way," Aakifahlynn still did not move. Instead, she blinked. Wow, that was easy; was this a regular thing, women wanting to learn how to please their husbands? "Maam?" Piper touched Aakifahlynn's elbow, gently tugging her forward. Piper was used to this, she had dealt with many women seeking the knowledge of pleasuring their husbands, and their sad story was always the same. There was another woman involved. She also knew sometimes some of them bolted before the door closed behind them, so innocent and pure in their minds. And today, she needed the extra bobs as her son had fallen ill, and she needed medication. So Piper could not afford for this 'Maam' to go skeltering out the door. She would take her time and show her exactly what she came to learn by grabbing one of those men she ha
Aakifahlynn never did any of these things, and she almost fell off the chair when Piper took the gentleman's entire third leg into her mouth, making a gagging and slurping sound.She had tilted her head sideways as she watched.Piper had explained to use her tongue and also remove her teeth from the equation, and Aakifahlynn's eyebrows had immediately pinched. How the hell does one remove teeth? And it was then Piper showed her how to tuck her lips in, covering her teeth, top and bottom, so when she shifts to start bobbing her head, that's the best time for that move.Plus, she learned about adding a bit of suction. That afternoon, Aakifahlynn confirmed how much she needed to improve in that area. Even opening her eyes. In her past, Aakifahlynn always kept her eyes closed. And that afternoon, she observed all sorts of positions. Most of them had her crouching, bending, slanting, or craning somehow or the other to get an excellent angled view.Aakifahlynn was brimming with excitemen
Her hand crept up to his hair and gently stroked it, then she touched his face, feeling his stubble chin.Aakifahlynn was working on her touches and gentle caresses. Her fingers crept to the buttons of his shirt, and Aakifahlynn undid a few buttons, then leaned in and gently kissed his chest.Jairus' chest was not hairy, but there was a little hair, she opened the shirt a little more over his nipples, and her tongue slid tentatively across his skin and latched on to a nipple, and Jairus hissed.Alpha King Jairus flung his head back, eyes shut as he lolled in the sensations of Aakiahlynn's innocently searching tongue.Excellent, Aakifahlynn thought at his response, "Aakifahlynn, what are you.." she nipped it with her teeth, and he hissed again, followed by a growl-moan, cutting his own words off.She even rolled her tongue, encircling it like Piper had shown her. While she grabbed his crotch, he was not totally hard as yet, but he was not soft either.Jairus was struggling with his m@n
Speaking about last night, it was now the end of Aakifahlynn's day.And there was one thing that plagued her since she woke up this morning in the cave and felt a presence there one second, then gone not even a full second later.Disappeared as if no one was around for miles. Truthfully, there was only one being that fast, and they were nonother than an Ayacque. It could have been a witch, too, but there was no essence of magic in the air.But what was this comforting and safe feeling about then? Why would she feel safe in the presence of her enemy?... It left Aakifahlynn puzzled as to what schemes were amiss.Aakifahlynn does not trust them. It was obvious to her that something was amiss.Nevertheless, she had more pressing issues. Aakifahlynn had brainstormed all night in the weapons room. She quickly realized she could not stay there anymore.She did not want to, not after confirming her last hope was a smoke screen. Jairus's mind was not affected in any way; he was just a serpent
Sadly for the troublemaker, he did not get to finish his sentence while Aakifahlynn felt a light breeze, then heard a grunt and a faint whoosh. She dare not look back. Instead, she started to run because even though the man's voice was cut off, he was too close for comfort, she thought. The end was right there; she could make it. Meanwhile, everyone else saw what happened to the troublemaker approaching Aakifahlynn. They looked at her small frame running almost unladylike down the alley and slowly backed into their tents wide-eyed. Some swallowed the lump in their throats, and their heart rate picked up as they tried to reconcile what happened before them. Fear was pungent in the air, but not only Aakifahlynn's. Because that gentleman, Alister, disappeared in a flash right before their eyes. They could not believe what they saw. It was as if something swooped in and snatched him before his hand could touch that young lady. When suddenly, a thud was heard, quickly followed by th
"Now tell me, young lady, what kind of information do you seek?" Mr. Spencer asked as he placed one foot on the other, curving at the knee. His arms folded as he inclined in his chair.Mr. Maitho Spencer saw nothing in indulging the young lady until Nichols returned with his special treats."Mr. Spencer, I am so glad that you asked. I will be traveling soon, so I am merely seeking information on the Kingdom in my absence."She laughed nervously, "You know, someone to keep me informed of the happenings. There is always some uprising or some soiree or another being thrown by the King and Queen in that castle."Aakifahlynn pursed her lips after casually saying, "simply wanting to keep abreast of things while I am gone, and I can surely pay for your services."Aakifahlynn gave vague details, not wanting to come out right and say she wanted to learn Alpha King Jairus's every move as she did not know Mr. Spencer's loyalty still.After all, she was informed about him by her husband when she
This young miss would be a formidable ally. One to keep happy should she ever were to mention him, he would be mentioned in an excellent light to whoever is watching over her, Mr. Spencer thought.But what was troubling to him was that from what his man said, it was like she did not even know, as she ran away like a scared kitten.The worst thing you can do is take the chance and toy with someone who does not even know they are being protected.Because it did not matter what he did, she could not even defend him to her protector should he deem that Mr. Spencer fell out of line.A shiver ran down his spine as he thanked his lucky stars for this vital news in the nick of time. The Lord knows they all would have been like Alister in the blink of an eye for moving on this woman.Nevertheless, with the sudden turn of events and an even more hurried shift in Mr. Spencer's decision, he was ready to truly listen to Ms. Thompson, so he urged her to continue.Returning to his seat, "Oh, Ms. Th
Jarrod had all but pledged his life to the man, grateful to him for saving it. The same was true of her parents. She understood why they were faithful, but they were all missing the 'why' in this situation. Aakifahlynn's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, unable to grasp the true identity of the man they all revered.It scared Aakifahlynn, not knowing the 'why' of Demarion's actions in saving them. This could be more sinister than they all thought or imagined. And what did her parents do? Blindly worship him.Now that she saw and understood where her parents stood on the matter, she would drop it and let the chips fall where they may, but that does not mean she would suddenly let her guard down. No way, no how.The rest of the day went by pretty quickly—it was almost a blur. Aakifahlynn had left her parents and visited her garden, where she'd started growing flowers for her scented soaps.She checked on the progress even though she knew they were already being taken care of, thanks
Perhaps this dinner was a stroke of luck. Aakifahlynn's primary goal was to avoid Demarion and direct all her focus toward the families present.This annual ball and fundraiser can be the start of her getting close to the Emperor. And if she was being honest, Demarion did mention this to her weeks ago, but it may have gone in one ear and come out the other. She was too busy with her 'kill list,' the people she sought revenge on for past wrongs.Since then, she'd already decided she would not attend, and she knew him getting her parents involved would be a way to get her there. So you know what? She would dress to kill, wine, dine with the elites, and maybe find herself a wealthy man. She rolled her eyes inwardly at her last thought as if."Fine, I'll think about it," Aakifahlynn said, not wanting to suddenly give in."Come on, Aakifahlynn, pleaseeee do it for me." Her mother's plea echoed. Aakifahlynn was not ready to give in so quickly, but she could not resist her mother."Okay, o
Aakifahlynn quickly flew off the bed. After eating, she brushed her teeth, showered, and dressed for the day. She wanted to return to visit her parents to tell them where she really was yesterday and give them the news about Jarrod, her father's friend, and Alpha, who was presumed dead.She knew her father would be thrilled that his old pal was indeed alive. However, she did not want Demarion to know about that development just yet, simply because she wanted to keep some things to herself. Goddess knows how much Demarion has been keeping from her.Aakifahlynn also planned to keep busy because there was a gala soon, but she had no intentions of attending.Meanwhile, last night was the most restless night Demarion had experienced, and he had been around for centuries, so that's saying a lot.And it was not because he slept by Aakifahlynn's door; that had been his norm since she arrived. No, that was not it.He was happy that Aakifahlynn was safe and sound. He'd gathered that she must ha
Aakifahlynn was still cloaked, and Demarion was wearing gloves, so she did not experience the full effect of his touch. And yet, for a second, she lost herself in his eyes, and her eyes fell to his lips. Then, she moved up to his eyes again and licked her lips.Her face suddenly moved closer to him.At Aakifahlynn's apparent intentions, Demarion wasted not another second; he had been waiting an entire lifetime for this again; he instantly closed the distance between them, his head swooping lower to meet her as she tiptoes wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him.It quickly became hungry and heated, his hands moving down her back, caressing her waist, pulling her flush to him as he sat on the table, she between his legs.She grabbed the hair at the nape of his neck and slid her hand up, massaging his head. Her fingers ran through his hair as they melted in this passionate kiss, and they both moaned in pure pleasure.However, Aakifahlynn had been fighting this for the last few
Yes, she was cloaked. She had thoroughly cloaked herself so Demarion could not keep such a tight hold on her.And even though Aakifahlynn saw the errors of her ways because her father could not feel her through their bond, she would blame Demarion.It was his fault. "How could you?" Aakifahlynn shouted, her voice shaky with rage, not giving him a chance to respond. His gaze bore into her, so Aakifahlynn felt as if she could not breathe under his intense gaze.She continued anyway, refusing to let his allures get to her, "What gave you the right to raise such an alarm?""Why would you provoke such a raucous that would cause my mother and father such pain? They thought I was in serious danger and that something was seriously wrong when I only wanted to get away from you and your lies." she snapped.Her words, a cascade of pent-up emotions, not letting him get a word in.Now, she was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling. "Aakifahlynn?" Her mother's gentle voice called out to h
Demarion had come by earlier, but now it was dark out, and Aakifahlynn was still nowhere to be found. This was a bit unusual. And the fact that Demarion was worried, Aakifahlynn's mother was now.By Mrs. Arwen's response and stricken look, Demarion got his answer without even asking. They still had not seen her since. "Guards," Demarion shouted.There were guards at almost every post. How could Aakifahlynn slip past them, and neither of them saw her? "Yes sir," the nearest guard came almost at a run, "sound the alarm. Our Empress is missing." Demarion orders.Those words about 'his empress' flew over Mrs. Arwen's head as she was now stricken with fear, being consoled by her husband, Aakifahlynn's father, Mr. Ludwig Arwen. She had left the door wide open, and Danica walked in to get them up to speed. She mentioned her brief conversation with their daughter earlier today in an attempt to reassure them that she was certain Aakifahlynn was just fine. Demarion barked a few more orders
Demarion sighed. He did not mean to come off so aggressive, he thought for a moment. There were many reasons why he was holding off on bombarding Aakifahlynn with all the information he had about their past lives. "Because she never believes me at first, always... and always tries to escape me. Which always led to her death before I could." Demarion's voice cracked, and when he regained it, it trembled. He fisted.He was tough and mighty, powerful and feared by many; however, this one woman could bring him to his knees without even trying."Before I could even hold her in my arms and show her how much I loved her before she could ever love me, I simply cannot risk her life like that this time; I won't." He declared.Danica's heart ached for her brother. " What if you are wrong, and she does believe you this time?""Why would she? I haven't been completely honest with her, and it's damned if I do and still damned if I don't.""You should not think like that. This time, it is different
Aakifahlynn spun around, looking everywhere, wondering what was going on. She then shouted, asking Jarrod if he knew what was happening and if anything like this had ever happened while he was there.Jarrod thought momentarily, then told Aakifahlynn that the last time this happened, Demarion's sister was kidnapped, and they locked down the empire.They did not make it far with her.Aakifahlynn shouted, and Jarrod heard her when she said, "The emperor went through all this for the disgraced emperor's sister?"But before he could correct her and tell her the Emperor was not disgraced, nor ever was he. It was like an alarm went off in Aakifahlynn's head—the thought of her parents struck her. She needed to know if they were safe, her concern overriding everything else."Oh my goddess, my parents," she shouted over the blaring again. And an excited Jarrod, forgetting all about the Emperor, almost jumped up and down, jumping out of his seat, "Oh Goddess, my dear old friend is here." His e
Aakifahlynn was sorry she missed the opening but was too busy recovering from draining her strength after healing folks at a hospital and then having to recuperate. Nevertheless, she told him not to let her absence keep him from moving forward in their adventures; she would show up when she could to check on things.Plus, Aakifahlynn preferred the surprised visits; keeping him on his toes is always better. However, she must admit he still had that eagerness to help in any way she wanted after their encounter that faithful day she visited the Stygian.Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn learned that Taisiya does not exist, literally. She was found washed ashore at the age of sixteen with no family.And this Jarrod had confirmed as he lived it. He was there when Jairus brought her home. Taisiya had woven a web of lies throughout her life, leaving a lingering mystery about her true identity. Even Spencer, who had his men gather all the intel, was unsure. But he went on to explain his spy's find
