ELLAI felt butterflies deep down my stomach as it flipped with excitement at his words."I have found you, Ella," he whispered again.Kieran offered me his hand and he led me to the bed. I was tensed up but I didn't let it show. I calmed myself by focusing my attention on the bridge of his nose but my traitorous sight moved down to his lips and that was when I lost my resolve.How could one man be this handsome? - and to think he wanted me."I have searched everywhere for that one woman who would make my heart beat at the mere sight of her... " He held my hand and I felt the sizzling sensation again.I couldn't believe what he was saying. He wanted me, -an orphan. An ordinary girl from the village.My heart thumped so loud I was afraid he would hear it and think I had a medical condition. Tonight I wanted to pretend I was this important lady that could marry a prince.I locked eyes with him. I got pulled into his orbs and slowly we moved closer and closer. The distance between us wa
ELLAThe ball had come to an end and everyone slowly trooped out. I was outside, checking the carriages as they carried each maiden away. I still hoped I could find her or a sign of her aside from the silk panties I clutched in my hands. It was the only piece of her that proved her existence. I stayed outside till all the palace grounds were empty.There was no sign of Ella.She was gone.My heart clenched in pain as I looked on helplessly. She was so close to me, I was so close to tasting her and-"Kieran, you need to come back inside. She isn't out here," Erik said walking up to me."She is in this kingdom somewhere. I just have to find her..." I said lost in my pain.She had to be. She didn't sound like someone that came from the neighboring kingdoms. Plus she confessed to seeing me in the market the other day. She couldn't be coming all the way from a far place to shop in my kingdom. She was close. I could feel it.Erik could see the pain in my heart. He walked closer to where I s
ELLA:As I returned to my room, I could still feel my stepmother's eyes burn my back but I kept my focus straight, I refused to let it falter. I would die first before I admitted to being the maiden at the ball.I got to my room and closed the door, taking a deep breath to calm my raising heart.Kieran gave me a memory I would never trade. I would never have him because I was only a slave while he was a prince, but the time we spent together was forever engraved in my heart. I would forever dance to the beat of his heart as he kissed me. I held my lips and unconsciously moved to a song I hummed to myself. Kudo and Ricky watched me move around the room and they stared at one another in confusion.They probably didn't remember but I did. Within this room, I was the maiden at the ball and no one could change that. I fell to the bed in excitement allowing sleep to finally take over my aching legs.In my dreams that night, I took myself back to the ball. I allowed myself to relive every mo
ELLAThe situation finally dawned on me. The prince was searching for me. He had found my missing panties and he had sent someone to bring me. My slavery was finally on the verge of ending and my stepmother just locked me inside my room and she had given my identity to Giselle."No! Mama no!" I cried as I continued hitting the doors. "Mama please!" I begged as my shoulders threatened to fall out from the hits.I felt a pull at my feet and looked down to find Kudo, it was holding a piece of paper, and Ricky chirped, I looked at it and its beak held a pen. It then flew towards the window and back at me."Yes!" I exclaimed excitedly as I wiped my tears. I would write to whoever comes to me. They would have to find me."Thank you guys so much," I whispered wiping my tears away with the back of my hand.It was noon when the Royal carriages strutted into my father's house. I got up from the floor and stood by the window. It was going too hard for me to be heard from my window but I tried a
KIERAN"You look handsome! but can we get to the good part already?" Erik whined as I stood staring at my reflection in the mirror. The palace was clattering with activities as everyone hurried about to put in the final touches on the decoration. The food from the kitchen reached up to my room and I knew the kitchen staff had outdone themselves.I was finally getting married after several ordeals. And I wasn't just marrying to provide heirs for my kingdom, but I was marrying for love.I was getting married to Cinderella Cameron —my Ella."And what do you consider the good part?" I asked with a grin.He moved his hands to his groin and I laughed at his attitude. Erik would never change."The part where I get to sleep with one of the women at the party. There are always horny women in parties."We walked out of my room, and I continued chuckling at the things Erik said about parties and horny women. We moved to the throne room where the marriage was taking place and my breath was knock
Friends with Sexy Benefits- Book 3 of the Dark FairytalesHansel and Gretel were the best of companions, until Gretel starts to notice how prominent his abs are, his pouty lips and that hard package in-between his legs. Trapped in a cottage by a witch for days, their friendship is tested especially when Gretel accidentally kisses Hansel. Rejected by him, she decides to make her body do the speaking instead and find their way out before the evil witch eats them.GRETEL HARGREEVESThe air felt stagnant. Different sounds mingled with one another in their silent irrelevance. The heat inside here was more potent, running outside naked under the direct blast of the sun's rays would have been a more suitable option.I sat down letting my mind move on several different topics hoping it would banish my boredom. It was doing a good job keeping me numb but boredom grinned at my fruitless efforts."Hansel!" The voice came from the master bedroom upstairs. Mother sounded irritated. That was her us
HANSEL Gretel was dead right. Something didn’t smell right and it gave me a cheap lowly feeling. I sniffed the shirt I wore just to be sure. I flinched at the scent with a grimace. Mother would kill me if I walked in like this. Since we got here, we have had constant complaints from worried fathers and jealous husbands about how their daughters would stay all day with their friends talking about nothing more than how good looking Hansel was or how their wives would spy through their kitchen window whenever Hansel was cutting their grass or taking out their trash. Mother deserved a little peace of mind now.I rushed into my room taking off the clothes I was on. It didn’t take me a minute to put on something else. I sniffed for a while then grimaced again. The scent was still there.Wtf?! Did she leave her cologne in my soul or what?I tore out of the clothes and rushed into the shower abusing the medicated soap I had. I peeled open another bar of soap and continued the assault on my s
GRETELMy room felt small. Everything felt small and suffocating. This was the first time Hansel and I was going to be alone for three days. I was finding it hard to draw in breaths as my whole body burned hot. I felt a weird inexplicable heat. The sundress I wore suddenly felt uncomfortable. I stood in front of the giant mirror I had looking at my confused reflection. Her dark hair fell long on a small round face that looked good with even features. A thin lip curved in a pout.My reflection's hands moved to push away the strap of the sun dress making it fall carelessly to the floor. Hands moved to remove a tiny lace bra and rose-colored panties.My reflection stood completely naked. I could see my small pointed breasts. My nipples looked pink and shy. They were hardening slowly. My eyes moved to my flat belly that moved to branch out to full hips. The curve of my hips was so perfect, it was a contrast to my slim figure. I turned around to stare at my ass in the mirror. It was round
“Mish! Get your ass down, dinner is ready,” my younger sister, Evelyn, shouted from downstairs. I came back from school three hours ago and I’ve been on my bed sulking and constantly resisting the urge to scream at the top of my voice.Mrs. Shantel and Mr. Brett? How long has that been going on under my nose? I stalked Mr. Brett well enough to have known. I sat up swiftly and stretched my hand to pick my phone from my nightstand. Impatiently, I logged into Instagram.Pfft, of course I’m not on Instagram. I logged in with my sister’s account. Being bullied offline is only the much I can bear, thank you very much.It didn’t take me much time to get to Mr. Brett’s profile. I stared at his relationship status and it stared back at me. It was boldly written SINGLE. Just to be sure, I wore my glasses and glanced hard at it. It still remained SINGLE. I searched for Mrs. Shantel’s profile and found out that she was married.“Then why the hell were you fucking someone not your husband!!” I scr
It was the early hours of Monday morning, 6:00am to be precise, and I was already in the cobwebby school basement, tucked away in the only neat corner. Of course, the neat corner of the basement, which I had turned into my niche, was cleaned up by me. You must definitely be wondering what kind of psycho cleans up the school basement to spend her mornings and what for! Well, to cut the long story short, it was my only means of survival. If I wanted to get through my remaining days in high school, then I had to do this. This was me doing what I did best, hiding away from my sworn enemy, traitor, rival, tormentor, give it all the name you could think of. Synonymous to those names is Kelly Parker. Kelly is the Queen bee of Beverly High. I hate her with all my heart, but she’s beautiful. Breathing-taking kind of beautiful, I’m not going to lie. I just hate her the more for that, because why should she be so perfect? Of course, she is the head cheerleader and she is dating Bruce Paschal,
Ariel's POV For two days after that, I waited for the man to show himself. It was almost like he purposely ignored me. When I realized that he wouldn't show himself unless something drastic happened, I waited for the guard that brought my food -food I refused to eat since I've been held in here- to appear. The moment he rounded the corner that led to my cell, I yanked off the pendant from my neck. I went instantly invisible. When the guard reached the cell and saw no one, the tray containing the food fell off his hands, and he let out a scream. Two more guards rushed in, probably thinking I managed to subdued their colleague. When they saw what he saw, they all trembled out of shock. "Report the incident to prince Eric right now!" One of the guards yelled to the other one that came in with him. That one nodded and rushed off to deliver the message. The guard turned to the one that brought me the food, looking at him in a suspicious way. "Did you let her off?" He asked."What the he
Ariel's POVIt felt like my ears just deceived me. I blinked once, then twice. I looked at the man who had just finished pleasuring me -the tingles and soreness between my legs were the testament of that fact- like he was out of his mind. And perhaps he was. Otherwise, why would he sprout such nonsense about arresting me? And that too for what? For stealing? Me?I looked at him and shook my head. Sure that I heard him wrong. I waited for him to take his words back, but he didn't. When a minute or two passed with nothing from him to refute his words, I lifted up my tied hands and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The eyes he turned on me were so cold and stony, I shivered."Are you serious about arresting me?" I inquired from him. The river made a ripple effect and I was reminded of the fact that I was gone for too long. If I didn't return back to my room as soon as possible, there was every possibility that my father would find out about my disappearance. It that happen
Eric's POV "The real thing I have here could do a better job than that toy!" I shouted at her from the shadows. I watched as the toy fell from her hand because of the shock she experienced."Wh-who is th-there?" She sounded as scared as she felt. I saw her looking around in the darkness, probably thinking of where to hide from the predator that sneaked up on her. My first thought was to let her suffer a sudden heart attack, just as she had done for me. That would be the easiest revenge I could take on her. But my tratious body refused to comply with that act. How could it? Somehow, I found the courage to get out of the palace after three days of hiding in my room. My courage wasn't bold enough to leave during the day when I could feel all eyes on me, so I did it by night. I was already angry when I found myself walking to this place rather than anywhere else. I was even about to turn around when I heard someone moan my name softly. I traced the voice and I saw the same girl moaning
Ariel's POVFor three days after I returned to the house, I couldn't help but think about how I would be able to get my Dada to release me from the home imprisonment he kept me in. Even as I paced to and fro the length of the room I was in, no idea came to me. I balked at how it was becoming increasingly hard to think straight these days. Each time I sat down to think, only the thought of Eric and what he would do to me came. I would spend hours and hours fantasising about the man. By the time I realize that I needed to think of a way to get out of the mess I was in in order to actually see him, I would start thinking of an escape plan. Barely five minutes into the deep thinking, I would find myself thinking about Eric again... just like I currently was.I was floating on top of my bed. My hands were on my breasts and I kept culling and squeezing them the same way I saw Eric did that day at the beach. I moaned as I imagined it was his hands playing with my breasts instead of mine. St
Eric's POVAs mother continued to hold me, she patted my back softly with her hand. I knew I was displaying a moment of weakness to the queen, but at the stage where I currently was, none of all those palace rules mattered to me. I just wanted someone to show me that I wouldn't go crazy because of a certain human.Was she even hunan? Someone that could play with another's person's feelings like that didn't deserve to be regarded as a human. "She's a selfish, cunning, and the most heartless person I've ever seen!" I bursted out, unable to contain my contempt for the woman.My mum didn't say anything and just continued to pat me like she was already doing. The outburst, however, gave in to the anger I had been trying to rein in ever since I woke up that morning and found out about that girl's betrayal."How could she have deceived me like that?" I let out again.To me, she was stupid. If she wasn't, she would have realized that I was already infatuated with her. She could have easily d
Eric's POVI didn't know what to make of the situation that happened just a few minutes ago. Ever since I collapsed on my bed, I found it extremely hard to get up. How could I when it felt like my world was crumbling down beside me?I found it hard to believe within myself that the same girl I trusted enough to bring into the palace. The same girl I was so worried about I didn't want her to spend an entire night outside during the cold. The very same girl we spent the same night on the same bed, pleasuring each other to stupor. I couldn't believe that the same girl had thought nothing wrong about betraying me.How could I have been so draft? How could I have let her deceive me just like that? Why didn't I see beneath the fake skin she was wearing to the real one? Now that I thought about it, her excuse of getting lost while with her friends seemed flimsy. Heck, everything about her felt and sounded completely fake. I was sure that the reason she approached me in the first instance wa
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIEL'S POV Sebastian sat across me with an intense look in his eyes. I reckoned I would have the same look if someone sat me down to tell the exact story I was telling him at the moment.It happened to me yet somehow I found it unbelievable. It just felt like the kind of shit that should only be possible in movies. Poorly scripted movies."So you opened the door to the right-"I nodded. "I opened it."He leaned in closer to me almost as if he wanted to merge with me. His eyes bulged out in their socket and his teeth clattered. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin as I remembered how I felt in the dark corridor turning the door knob."I could have swore he was behind me- breathing just behind me." I said as I controlled the impulse to cringe.Sebastian gasped. "Was he there?"I shook my head. He wasn't there when I turned around but the presence didn't go away. It stuck with me even as the door opened."What did you find inside?" Flounder asked speaking for the first
