Both she and the guards watched as her uncle stomped away. She swallowed hard, fighting to keep her breath still. His words continued to resonate in her head, and what frightened her the most was the conviction with which he spoke - like he meant every word that was coming out from his mouth. He spoke as a man who was determined to find her and make a mess out of her life.

He was not going to let her go Scot free so easily, that one truth was what she knew.

"Do you know him?" One of the guards asked, and Arabella turned sharply to look at him. Her eyes were widened in shock by his question at first, but she suddenly caught herself and shook her head vehemently.

She could not tell the guards that she knew him, she did not know what he would do with the information she was about to give him.

"No. Uhmm, I do not know who he is. He just found me on the alley way and decided to grip me. I have no business with him." She realized she had said much more than what was needed, because the

    Klaus Lavon could sense that there was something wrong with Arabella. Yes, he had demon powers that enabled him to see through anyone, but for Arabella, it was far more than that. Over the days, he had noticed her space out in thoughts, tremble unnecessarily at the sound of her name, and jerk up to at the smallest of sounds. Every time he noticed her odd behavior, he frowned and thought of confronting her about it, but he knew all the time, that she would deny knowing what he was speaking about. And Klaus preferred to be ignorant, than to be lied to - and he detested being ignorant. He returned from work early one afternoon and thought it best to join Arabella in preparing lunch. If he was going to try to start a conversation on what had been happening in the past days, assisting her with the chores would be the best way to do it - especially as Mrs George was out of the house for a few hours - seeing as Arabella was always her happiest when she was in the kitchen. There was an eas

    Klaus was seated on amongst the high twelve, because he was the head of the table. By his right hand was Markus Dane, his best friend and brother, as it ought to be. In the dark field, under the blood red moon that settled in the sky that rested above all their heads, Klaus's ears paid attention to the eerie whistling of the wings of the night, and the rustling of the trees, the sound of gossip amongst plants. He was not supposed to keep his ears on the plants and birds, but he would rather do that than listen to the gibberish that was being melted out by members of the lower twelve that were seated around their round table. He had rushed out of the house immediately Markus told him there was a looming uproar, and he has thought that it would be for a noble and wise cause. Perhaps he would have stayed at home if he knew the men were just here to melt out the frustration of their bruised egos. Klaus had rolled his eyes more times than he could count, and every time he did so, Markus

    While Arabella sat on her bed in silence, Klaus sat beside her and massaged her shoulders gently with his hands. She was seated up, while he stood behind her and worked his hands down and up her shoulders continuously. He saw her sigh and felt her relax whenever his hands brushed the back of her neck. He noted it as her "sweet spot", the non-sexual part of her body that brought about a reaction when touched. He continued to allow himself brush the back of her neck over and over again, and Arabella sighed softly whenever he did so. Soon, he started to see her shift on the spot she was seated. She would clear her throat, scratch the back of her head, whistle strange tunes out of the blue and clear her throat some more. Klaus also noted that she did all these while her legs were tightly crossed, the left above the right. A wry smile formed on his face as he watched her. The hairs at the back of her neck were already visible. He could feel the goosebumps on her skin, and when he looked

    Arabella scrubbed beneath the pans and pots as she stared absentmindedly out of the window. She thought about the previous, how her master had made love to her ever so eagerly. Flashes... stimulating and erotic ones flashed through her mind. She heaved a sigh time and time again as she thought of him and the dream she had seen.She did not want to think about it, the heavens knew she did not. But her mind would not let her rest, it had other plans for her. She continued to ask herself if all she had seen was all because of the fear of her uncle's revelation, or just like seeing her uncle, the dream was a warning. She turned off the faucet and wiped her hands on her apron as she picked up the plates and resumed arranging them into their racks and stacks. She had to make lunch after she was done, Mrs George had not resumed yet. Arabella's eyes narrowed on the plate rack as she took note of the fact that the woman was starting to resume work rather late these days. She was going to ma

    Arabella did not think he would be able to affect her ever so easily.He was her master, and her stomach often trembled the moment he opened his mouth to speak. It was for that same reason she found herself in the room, changing her maid uniform into a regular dress. She changed into a yellow and white floral patterned silk dress and stepped out of the room. She walked down the stairs to the kitchen and carried her meal to the dining table, where she had decided she would be eating alone. It was a pity her master and his friend did not join her. She rather thought she would have had a good time eating a meal with the both of them – most especially her master’s new friend. She knew it was none of her business, but she often wondered why she seldom saw him ever since she had come here. Arabella placed her hand on her chin and continuously twirled her spaghetti in her fork as she ate absentmindedly. It was not until she heard the sound of the door of the living room open and close

    Klaus looked over the lady seated in front of his desk again. She was seated on the top of his desk, arms crossed underneath her chest and her lips thinned into a thin smirk, her kicked her bottom lip sensually as her eyes moved over his tall frame. Klaus’s jaw hardened and she stood with her feet on the ground. She started to walk towards him and Klaus could not help the whirlpool of annoyance that started to turn in his stomach. His eyes narrowed on her as he stood straight and leered at her. Klaus had always known Delilah was a crazy woman. He had just never thought that she would express her madness in his mansion, especially after the way they had ended. It did not matter that Delilah was one of his kind, it did not matter that she was still madly in love with him, even though she knew everything he was capable of, nothing mattered in that moment, apart from the sole fact that she had yelled at Arabella and called her names. “You look good,” She started to speak as she stoo

    She was pressed against his table with her chest, the right side of her cheek kissed the mahogany desk. The hem of her dress now rested above her waist, leaving nothing but her round bare ass in a thong to his view. Klaus smiled and his tongue grazed his lower lip at the sight. He knew exactly how she had gotten to that point. He had moved to her, pushing past his desk and his right arm cupped her thin waist. She could hear the sound of her heart thrumming in her chest, the sound pleasured him, elevated his pride. He pulled her further into his arms, so close she could breathe in the very air he let out, and he could drink in the scent of her breath, of her hair, the scent of her arousal. He knew she was already wet in her panties and dry in her throat.Klaus lowered his lips to Arabella's, but he tasted the skin of her right cheek first, he traveled to her left chin and few inches below her lower lip. He sucked in a deep breath when she muttered something about how badly she need

    They ate the rest of their meal in silence as Arabella did not think it was necessary to speak, especially as her master was eerily quiet as well. She stayed quiet and kept her eyes down as she munched on her juicy pasta and sauce. All the while, she continued to think of all the possible things he could have said and done to the man who has served them. She knew that her master could take things overboard sometimes, especially when it had to do with her. What she did not know was why. Why did he seem to lose his head whenever she was smiling at another man? Why did unbearable jealousy ooze from him whenever another man showered her with attention and she sunk in it? All these were questions she knew only he could answer. She could only speculate and come to conclusions, but Arabella was not sure she wanted to do any of that, especially as her master happened to be one of the most complicated people she had ever met. The most daring, and the most breathtaking. He was the first to

    Arabella was in the kitchen, surrounded by pots and pans, chopping boards and ingredients scattered all over the counter. She was in the middle of preparing a meal for Klaus and the rest of the family, despite Mrs. George's warmings due to her condition, when she suddenly felt a warm gush between her legs. She does not make anything of it at first, and continues chopping away on the vegetables in front of her, until the contractions in her lower abdomen grow more frequent, and much more painful. The warm gush continues to trickle down her legs, contrary to what she had believed would happen. Her eyes widen with shock and fear as she realizes that her water has just broken. She quickly moves to the kitchen table and tries to catch her breath, trying to remember what she had read in her prenatal classes about the first stages of labor. She screams and reaches out for the kitchen counter. She grips it with her right hand, and fights to suck in deep breaths. She realizes that it's t

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Baby Shower

    The baby shower was to be held in a beautifully decorated backyard, surrounded by blooming flowers and lush green trees. The warm sun shone down on the guests as they gathered around a table filled with delicious treats and colorful decorations. The table was covered in a crisp white tablecloth and adorned with pink and blue balloons, symbolizing the impending arrival of a baby girl and boy. Soft music played in the background, adding to the serene and joyous atmosphere.Klaus had made sure everything was done to perfection. From the decorations, to the food, to the cakes, everything was arranged in an elegant and luxurious manner. He had also decided to cater to the planning by himself. Arabella's hormones made her too emotional and dramatic to get any serious planning done. And he also did not want to stress her. In one corner of the yard, a group of guests sat on comfortable chairs, chatting and laughing together. They sipped on cool drinks and nibbled on sweet desserts, taking

    Six months later The beeping sound of monitors could not take Arabella's eyes off the beauty on the screen in front of her. She could barely understand or see anything, seeing as the image on the screen was in black and white monochrome colours, but she knew what she was looking at. There, on that screen, she would see the image of her baby. She turned to look at Klaus, who was seated by her side. Together, they blushed as the doctor explained the image on the screen to them. The baby was already seven months in her womb, before Mrs. George suggested they make time out for an ultrasound scan. At first Arabella had not known what she meant, it was her first time being pregnant after all, but Klaus was able to explain to her the benefit of doing one, before she agreed to come all the way to the hospital. She was nervous when the doctor asked her to pull her shirt up, and rubbed a transparent liquid that smelt a lot like methylated spirit, but felt like gel on her stomach. A few

    A diamond heart shaped ring stared back at her, glistering from within the red crystal shaped box it rested in. For a moment, a very long moment, Arabella could not blink. No matter how hard she wanted to tear her gaze away from the ring, and look into the eyes of the man she loved, she found herself unable to do anything else, besides stare into the eyes of the ring. When she could finally look away from the ring, it was to glance around the room once more. The rose petals, the candles, the daisies, the lights on the roof that screamed, "marry me, please", the piano recorder, the scent and aroma of love and romance that filled the room. He had singlehandedly prepared all of this, just to ask her to marry him?! He was really telling her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and never apart, not even for a small moment! Arabella…Arabella did not know what to say, she was at a loss for both words and actions! The room spinned around her head, and she failed to be

    Laughter, the sweet sound of chattering children erupted from all around her. Once again, Arabella opened her sleepy eyes to find herself in a sunny field of dandelions, all around her. The air was sweet and breezy, each part of the field contained different flowers, she was happy to be standing amongst dandelions. She looked up at the sky, and her eyes met with the bright blue clouds. Arabella was happy, very happy. It gladdened her heart to see somewhere filled with joy and happiness, and it only became better when she noticed the happy children running all around her. "Come on! Let us play!" One of them, a pretty little girl with dark hair and round brown eyes pulled the hem of her night dress. Arabella smiled at her. The girl let go of her dress, and joined the other children to run around. There were five of them in total, three boys and two girls. "Come on! Come on!" "We are going to have so much fun together!" "I cannot wait! Can you see it? Let us run to the sun and pl

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Successful Party

    The party was a success, and Klaus knew he had to thank the universe for blessing him with such good luck. If he was being honest, it meant a lot to him that his people had shown up to support he and Arabella. It meant that he could stop to imagine waging war with the entire underworld, because he would have done so if that was what it took to keep Arabella safe. As they drove back home, Arabella leaned her head on his right shoulder, while her hand rested on his thigh. He could tell she was exhausted, and he knew why. Klaus found himself blushing at the thought of all that had happened with Arabella at the party hall. After sneaking away with her, he took her into an empty room, where he made love to her with her back pressed against the wall. He was gentle, as gentle as he needed to be, knowing that he could not be too rough, or he could risk hurting her and the baby. And Arabella? She responded to his body in a way he had never thought possible. Her body reacted to every kiss

  • Slave To The Demon King   The Toast

    The first thirty minutes of the party went well, and she was yet to feel the burning urge to turn around and run, that had to count for something, right? Right. Klaus walked into the banquet hall beside her, hand in hand. Mrs. George followed them behind, she was here to make Arabella more comfortable. She knew it was the only reason she would have been asked to come along with them to a party or a feast, that really did not concern her. Arabella forced her mouth close once she stepped into the hall. The high red polished walls, large round table that contained nothing less than fifty people, the meals placed on the table, and the furniture; from the gargoyle sculptures, to the exquisite chandeliers, and the punch fountain that looked so beautiful at the center of the table, all of it made the room appear so dreamy. Arabella had never seen anything like it before. It did not take her long to know that the people in the room were not ordinary. Of course, they were demons, but this

  • Slave To The Demon King   Meeting Klaus’s People

    The day had finally arrived. Klaus and Arabella had both agreed she would meet his people on the evening of the weekend, and since then, Klaus had counted down the seconds and minutes that would lead them up to that very moment. That evening, while she was getting ready, Klaus went over the details of the meeting once more."We will be meeting them at the banquet hall." He started to say. Arabella had dropped her brush on the dressing table, to turn to look at him. Klaus did not pay attention to the look in her eyes, he was terrified of what he would find; something like fear, that would make him back down. "A feast has been prepared. You would be dining with us, Arabella." Klaus could remember seeing her smile. He had a feeling the smile was to tell him to be calm, to reassure him that everything was going to be alright. To tell him that she could be strong enough for the both of them, it did not matter how, or what she needed to be strong for. As he paced about in the balcony

  • Slave To The Demon King   Sordid Discussions

    Arabella stayed behind at the table to finish her meal with Mrs. George. After father and son had both excused themselves, Arabella and Mrs. George stayed back to enjoy their dinner in peace. Maybe Mrs. George was able to eat in peace, but Arabella was not. All the while, she kept on thinking about what Klaus's father had intended to ask her, and what the answer to the question would have been. Mrs. George looked up at her at one point, a small smile on her face. "I do not think you should beat yourself up about it, Arabella. If it was anything very important, you should know master Klaus would never keep it away from you." Arabella dropped her fork, and cleared her throat. She stared deep into Mrs. George's eyes, before speaking. "I know, I know. But I can't stop myself from worrying. It sucks, it really does." Mrs. George heaved a sigh. She reached out to Arabella and touched her wrist gently. "You'll be alright, my dear. That is all I really need you to know." Arabella did
