DARIUS POVDarius was having trouble sleeping again, as he did most nights. He blinked his lids tightly as he chugged whiskey after whiskey down his throat, glancing at the large clock hanging at the top of his bed's headboard. 12:45 am…It was getting late, and the alcohol he'd been drinking nonstop wasn't luring him into the much-needed sleep he needed. He'd be out of this mansion tomorrow, or early this morning rather, on his way to sort out his business issues, and he hadn't slept a wink. Not that he would sleep on the ride, but Darius knew he needed to nap to refresh his mind. “Tchhhh…” As he stood on his feet, feeling restless, he let out a heavy hiss of disappointment. He had no idea how he got out of his room, but he was walking through the large corridor away from the room and prancing around the mansion seconds later. Darius walked down the tiled floors, barefoot, past sleeping and awake guards alike, with a bottle of whiskey in hand. Darius had no idea where he was
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle's panicked scream as her room door burst open was enough to awaken everyone who had been sleeping. She'd been restless all night, her sleep disrupted by perplexing dreams, and she couldn't even close her eyes peacefully. Worse, someone had barged into her room without knocking in the middle of the night, and she screamed in terror. She jumped out of bed, her hands fumbling, looking for the bedside lamp, but before she could turn it on, light filled the room. The stranger, whoever it was, had turned on the overhead light in the room, and she was whisked away from the darkness. She was no longer terrified, but she still had her back to the intruder and was afraid to turn around and look at the person. "You know, your fear is one thing that surprises me, but your shyness continues to perplex me." This voice, the husky sound filling the room, was one she could recognize even if she were wide asleep.It was Lord Darius, and as soon as she mentioned his name, he
DARIUS POV Her lips had a peach flavor to them.Smelt like apples and tasted like peaches, so soft and alluring he felt like munching on them and kissing her forever.His heart clenched softly as he gently caressed her hair, guiding her tongue in slow rhythmic movements as their lips danced. Darius didn't want this moment to end, and her soft moan was getting into his head, making him go insane in the worst way possible. His hand sauntering downwards, he left her hair until he was touching her shoulders, chest, and then her boobs. Darius could feel her rising nipples, and now he wanted nothing more than to rip the flimsy robe from her body and fall on her, worshiping her. He started to move, pushing her towards the small queen-sized bed, but she tore her lips away from his and asked the question that made him instantly chill. "Shouldn't we go to the training room? Or... or you know, we could go to your room if you want." She stammered out the final words, and Darius could tell s
BRIELLE’S POV"That's my girl..." Lord Darius said those last words to Brielle before slipping his cock out of her shaky legs and kissing her forehead.His hands were draped all over her body, and Brielle couldn't move for a moment as she tried to process what had just happened. Lord Darius had entered her room, half drunk, and confessed that he missed her. After giving her some hot blowing orgasm with his mouth and fingers, he proceeded to fuck her hard, leaving her breathless as she was now. She couldn't believe it because it felt surreal and unimaginable, but again he was Lord Darius. He was the master of the mansion and could do whatever he wanted without anyone questioning him. He quickly shut her up when she asked if going to the training room was the best thing to do, saying he made the rules in the mansion and could change them. Brielle clenched her legs tightly as a small smile crept up her lips, and silence engulfed the entire room. He was still holding her, breathin
BRIELLE’S POV~’ That's her, Warren’s scorned daughter.’‘Smack her!’‘We'd kill her right now. She's nothing but a scumbag and a witch.’Brielle raised her hands above her head as the villagers and people around her continued to throw stones at her. She had no idea why she had come here or what she had done wrong this time. She couldn't even remember how they had dragged her out of her house and into the open square, where they had pelted her with stones, dirty water, rotten eggs, pellets, and whatever else they could think of. She couldn't even bring her hands to her nose because she stank so badly. Her clothes were clinging to her skin, sloppy and wet. There was nothing she could do about it, and she couldn't cry or scream at them to stop because she would be wasting her time. "What happened to the cloth?" She heard an all too familiar deep masculine voice ask from afar, and she tried to look up amidst the crowd around her to see if she could catch a glimpse of who this perso
DARIUS POV "I believe that's all, thank you." Darius rasped out, immediately hanging up the phone and putting it in his pocket. Closing his eyes briefly, he allowed the cool air from the open tinted windows to wash over him as he relaxed his back on the limousine seat. He didn't know how or when, but his mind was instantly filled with illicit images of Brielle in various positions while he fucked her.He'd left her peacefully sleeping with a kiss on her forehead this morning, and she hadn't even stirred. Her soft breathing indicated that she was utterly exhausted. He tried ruffling his hair to distract himself from the previous night's events, but it didn't work. He didn't even want the thought to leave, and with a smile appearing on his lips, he daydreamed. Last night had to be the best night he'd had in a long time. It was different, electrical, and not just a sexual encounter between a dominant and a submissive. This time, he had been passionately intimate with her, and he
MADELINE’S POVThe black jeep sped into the mansion, bringing some fresh air, and Madeline inhaled sharply as it flew in through the open windows. They were finally back! Today had been an exciting day as she and Lady Delilah had begun to put their plan into action. They had gone to an unusual location. The outskirts of town, hoping to meet some traders or men who could assist them with their mission. Madeline had watched as Lady Delilah spoke a strange language to the local men, explaining what would happen. The mistress, who appeared tense, had relaxed and seemed happy as she hugged the men and exchanged farewell pleasantries before walking back towards their car on the lonely road. Because she had watched the proceedings from the car, Madeline had no idea what the negotiations had been about or how much Lady Delilah had paid the men. But then the mistress had briefed her, however, and she was satisfied with the explanations. She didn't care about the deal... All she wanted
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle observed Madeline's jaw drop open after her final question. She had anticipated the reaction, just as she had observed Madeline's gaze remaining fixed on the black leather bag in her hand. Brielle tried hard not to show the fear in her expression as the awful feeling within her continued to stir. She was more afraid after watching Madeline and Lady Delilah's conversation through the window. Brielle thanked her body for not slowing down and succumbing to slumber as she reflected on her difficulty sleeping. She would have missed the show if she had given in to slumber.She’d been wide awake and alert when she heard the car drive in, and she had rushed out of her bed and straight to the window to see who had arrived at the mansion. It didn't surprise her that it was Lady Delilah's jeep, but she was taken aback when she saw Madeline smiling and talking with the mistress, even taking a bag from her. Brielle had no idea what Madeline was up to with the mistress
