Maddox's POV
"Are you almost done?" I call out to Willow as I tap my fingers against the granite countertop boredly. Why do women take so long in the shower all the time? I swear its like a waiting game.
But she never answers my question, leaving me standing there itching to turn around and see if I can get a reply from her. I won't though, I told her I'd respect her privacy.
I sigh, crossing my arms against my chest tiredly. "Willow! Are you almost done?"
Then thats when I realize I can't hear her breathing anymore or the quiet splashes in the tub she was making almost moments ago now. So I turn around, seeing her no longer peaking out of the water; her hair now floating at the top while the rest of her body is submerged in the bubbles and water.
I don't even have to think twice, because next thing I know I'm at the side of the tub reaching my hands into the water to grasp her arms and pull her out. Wh
Willow's POV Another groan escapes my lips as Maddox thrusts another finger into, beginning to slide them through and through in a much quicker motion, speeding up with each thrust. Never had I thought I'd say this, but this man is making me crazy! I never thought doing something like this with him would make me ache for more and send my body into a spiral of uncontrolled pleasure. With his other hand, he engulfs my jaw in his hand, kissing me on the lips in a rough manner, slightly nibbling on my bottom lip. It's enough to cause blood, but he licks it right away with a grin. I'm surprised he didn't drink me to death. He curls his fingers inside me, somehow shoving them even deeper to which I moan loudly to. He immediatley silences me with his lips once again. "Did you not hear me, Princess? Who do you belong to?" he pinches a wet lip, making me squirm and squeal against his impossible grip. "
Willow's POV"Get up before I make you get up myself, slut."I practically have to pry my eyes open to see whos talking. But of course I know who it is: it's Maddox. Who else would it be?Letting out a heavy sigh, blinking back the tears of pain I held throughout the entire night, I turn around carefully and see him standing at the edge of the bed. He's shirtless with his chiseled, surprisinly tan, body radiating in the sunlight that peers through the window.How is he not burning alive? If only I were that lucky...I can't believe I let him touch me the way he did yesterday. I should've known better, even if it meant feeling empty for that much longer.He chuckles when I try to turn on to my back side and let out a cry in pain. The welts from the belt- some of them feel like they're torn open on my skin just from the sudden gust of air on my body.He flips the covers off of my naked body then grabs me by the th
Maddox's POV"Where are you taking me?" I hear Willow whine from behind me as she tries her best to keep up with me through the thick snowflakes landing all while trying to keep warm in these cooler conditions.With a heavy sigh, I turn around and fold my arms over my chest, glaring down at her. "Well if you would keep up with me, maybe I would tell you!"She replies with the same glare, angrier than me now, though. "This was your idea, Maddox," she speaks my name through her plump, soft lips, like it's rotten. "I would have never asked to go to such a cold place with just you! Usually when couples come here for a honeymoon, it's to grow closer to each other by cuddling and feeling each others warmth. I refuse to let you touch me again."This woman is getting on my nerves... But ugh, how much I wish to touch her and feel her against me is beyond my thought processing.In an second, I am beside Willow,
Willow's POV"There. Up ahead. We're nearly there," Maddox beams as he gestures a mile or so out from our cabin which we just arrived at moments ago.Ugh, I'm in pain. My feet are killing me and the welts over my back and ass aren't feeling much better.I whine, letting out a heavy sigh in response. "My whole body hurts, Maddox. I don't think I can walk much more, and that," I point to the spot he showed me, "that's a long ways to go yet."He sighs too, knowing that he owes me from what he did today. "Come here," he groans in defeat, a small grin playing on his handsome face. I walk over to him and he helps me into a piggy-back. "This is the last time I'm doing this, okay?"I laugh quietly, clinging my arms tightly around him. "Whatever you say, my King."Then he sets off faster than a plane - no not the speed of light because I would literally die - and I pull even closer as the wind whips through my hair and the cold
A week later...Willow's POVOnly a day ago we arrived back in Nitraville at the castle and settled back in after our short, little 'honeymoon'.I definetly had a good time with Maddox over the last week, and when I say good time, I mean a good time. No, we never had actual sex, but we did do other stuff. I still remain too scared to go that far with him because for all I know, he could easily kill me in the act of it.Over the duration of the trip, I began to notice things that I hadn't earlier. At one point, I caught myself thinking that he was just a human and not a vampire when I realized we were out during the day with the sun out, not a single cloud in the sky. Then I remembered when I was taken by Maddox when I was still living on my little acerage, he had to have a spell casted over him in order to protect him from the sun. Had he done the same thing that entire trip?
Willow's POV"Are you sure you are ready, Willow?"I breathe in, inhaling the sweet scent of his cologne. "I am. I am very ready, Maddox.""Okay then," he confirms. His head is down near my belly-button beginning to make that familiar trail of kisses down to wet, throbbing core again. His hands latch to the top of my sweatpants, undoing the drawstring and quickly pulling them off of me along with panties.He begins kissing and sucking at my skin again in such a teasing way. I almost yell out and beg him to do it, he's doing it so slow and agonizing.My hands tangle in his thick locks, pulling his mouth closer to my skin- closer to my wetness. I gasp out when his tounge connects my other lips, drawing smooth, slow, circles, moaning out loudly.He brings his hand up from my sides and his two fingers connect with my clit. "Shhh," he hushes, rubbing me quicker quicker as I gulp down my moans, biting my lip hard to ke
Willow's POV Nearly two months later... "So we each get a hand of seven, then out of this deck," I point toward the heaftier deck I placed on the table in the middle of us three, "then I flip out a card," exactly what I do and Liam and Samual watch in awe, "and we go around seeing if you either have the same coloured card or same number as that one: a green seven!" "And what exactly is this called?" Liam questions examining his deck thoroughly like it's some confusing science project. Samual chuckles at Liam, but then looking to me for an answer as well. I shake my head, placing a green nine down on to the deck of cards. "Uno. It's a globally popular card game that everyone loves! It's quite easy too." "A RED NINE!" Samual announces, slamming a card down over top of mine in victory. Liam groans, shaking his head with disbelief. "If you want to play that game then..." he shu
Maddox's POV"I want every damn guard to search this castle! She couldn't have went far. She is a human for godsake, it's impossible for her to out run anyone living here!"I run my hand through my thick locks, wanting to pull out chunks of it in anger.When she had caught me with that women, I tossed the maid off of me and ran to the door trying to catch her. If I hadn't stumbled upon her positive pregnancy test on the ground, I could've gotten her in time and she wouldn't have escaped.What if I really losted her this time?What if something finds her and kills her out in the woods. Not only will I lose the love of my life, but I will lose my unborn child too all because of my stupid stupid actions."Sir.. Sir!" a voice calls out from behind me.I whip around, coming face-to-face with a guard who looks as though he's been trying to find me forever. "What is it?" I growl, not wanting to
Willow’s POV“Where are we going?” I finally ask after letting Maddox carry me like some broken object down the hall, not even the least bit bothered when a guard or a maid passes by, shock quite evident on their faces when they lay eyes on the whole situation going on here.He doesn’t answer my question, though, and just continues to hold me against him so I don’t try to flee.I let my head flop back in exhaustion from barely getting a damn word out of this man. “Just let me down for God's sake!” I push on his broad chest, and he finally lets me down on the ground. I straighten myself out, shaking my head in disbelief, and I begin walking away from him, back towards the bedroom. “I walk you know. And I can also stay very cozy in that bed alone, so I’m going back and you can do what
Hey guys!This is the second last chapter of this book so I’ve decided that when it ends, you can vote whether or not there should be a second book in the reviews. Also, I’ve included some backstory to Maddox’s family with the new doctor that has been added recently and will be in the next book if there is one. Anyways, enjoy! Maddox’s POV “What?” Williamson shoots his head up after fluffing a pillow underneath the arm she’s receiving blood from. He sighs and storms over to me, snatching all four tests out of my hand. He may be half my height and weight, but this man is the last person I will ever argue against; he’s scarier than my father most times. I see the negative one first, giving me this strange, ‘are-you-stupid?’ Look before I motion for him to look further, then he sees the other three which are all positive.
Willow’s POVI’m sitting on the edge of this infamous bathtub, impatiently waiting for the water to reach the desired point as I also anticipate the results of all four tests lined up on the counter.I’ve decided that if the tests are negative, I’m going down in this water with the help of whatever potion shit Maddox keeps here in this medicine cabinet and some of my old razors which I’ve already begun to pry apart.Before preparing for all this, I made sure that no one was in the other room by continuously calling out for help. I know someone would’ve responded- especially Maddox if he were here. Knowing him he would likely just tell me to do what I was told then threaten to inflict some sort of cruel punishment on me.Fuck. That scar in my bac
WIllow’s POVA few weeks later…Misery. Absolute misery. Nothing but misery and pain down here in this cell with no one to speak to but the occasional rat that will scurry by me, searching for any bits of food I’ve left because I felt too sick to eat the disaster they give me on a plate.All my life is at this point is an endless loop-hole; everything goes spiraling downhill, then the next I’m too in love or happy to even see the consequences that there are to come with having emotion like that. Then, everything just repeats and repeats, but in a worse manner every single time.I should’ve known when Maddox brought the kids in after I found him sleeping next to me that morning that shit was going to hit the fan because Maddox had a plan; Maddox always has a plan and I should know that.
Willow’s POVIn the morning….Last night was the best night I’ve had in weeks so far, even if Maddox slept in the same bed as me just so we could put on a show for the twins so that they won’t have any suspicions with our relationship. I guess they’re nearly three, but really, in reality, they’re very smart for their age.I’m predicting that Flynn is going to make a good ruler with his father with his ‘political’ views one day and Ella will end up at the top of her class. And maybe, just maybe, I can convince Maddox to let her go to one of prestigious universities in Nitraville or somewhere in the dark realm.Out of the two of them, I’m really not sure who will rule yet. It is too early to tell their real personalities, even if they become more and more prevalent everyday. Things and interests can change, especially at an ag
Willow’s POVWhere the hell did he even go? It’s not like I was wrong or anything because seriously, if I’m their mother, should I not be able to see them? They’re so young, though, so will they even care that I’m gone? Maybe all I was to them was another caring person towards them who fed them with my own body for a year handmade sure they got everything they needed. But that’s all for Maddox now, isn’t it? I’m just here now to produce more children for him so I don’t get my neck tied up in a noose and be hung in front of the entire kingdom.I’m beginning to think that the noose may just be the best option now. All I want to do is rip these bandages off of my skin, open up my wound, and let myself die from infection and blood loss.The pain is too much to bare now. I’ve lost every go
Maddox’s POVI slam the notebook shut between my tensed up fists and toss it to the ground, too angry to even look in Willow’s now hurt and tearing-up eyes.“You should know by now that after having been married for nearly four years now that I’m not fucking stupid when it comes to you trying to run away from me. This would’ve the what… FOURTH time you’ve tried to escape, and this time you even left your own two children behind with nothing but a stupid love letter to them that they can only read when they’re older!” I bellow, pacing up and down the room, wanting nothing more than to grab my belt that’s laying on the washroom floor and whip her back until she’s begging me for my forgiveness.“For christ sake, Willow, they’re only three years old! Do you really think that
Willow’s POVA week later…Maybe the wolf coming after me wasn’t such a bad thing… maybe, just maybe, it was bette than that to happen than being chased by Maddox until he became so angry with me that I would end up being a meal.Yes, I went through pain with that stupid wolf having almost smashed my arm in half, nearly leaving half of it on the ground, but it was so much less pain than what Maddox has been putting me through these past three years- even more now that I think about it. The kids are going to be three soon.Oh no… I’m going to miss their birthday, aren’t I?Well, I hope my death doesn’t disturb that too much. The last thing I want if for my babies to be sad on their big third birthday.Fuck, maybe I should’ve postponed my exit to a little later.Well, whatever. What’s done is don
Maddox’s POVWhat can possibly be taking her so long? She said she was just cleaning up, and I don’t really mind if the bedroom is messy because God knows how much worse I’m about to make it.I knock again, calling out her name again. “Willow?” I holler through the door, wrapping my fist against the wooden door again, and place my ear against it.I hear nothing. Usually it’s very obvious she’s in here with all the cleaning and cooking she’s usually doing to keep herself busy.Why isn’t she answering? She always answers me.I keep my head placed against the door, just listening for even the slightest movement. Well, that’s until I hear a very distinct splash from outside.“That’s it,” I mutter, pulling th
