Zavian’s idea of a 'short walk' was another torturously long ten minutes before the trees finally parted, revealing another part of the famous river.

As soon as they reached the grassy bank, Emmeline collapsed gratefully onto the soft ground, spreading her palms on the cool earth as she gulped in deep lungfuls of air.

"Remind me never to go exercising with you again, you sadistic monster!" she groaned dramatically.

Zavian sat down beside her, stretching his long, muscular legs out while giving her a disapproving look, though the corners of his eyes crinkled with barely suppressed amusement.

"I can't believe you ruthlessly forced me to come this far," Emmeline whined breathlessly. "Why did I get involved with such a masochistic man who considers life a grueling mission he has to do to perfection?"

Tipping her head back dramatically, she sobbed, "That's very stressful for a delicate flower like me!"

Without a word, Zavian pulled a chilled water bottle from the pocket of his jacket and ha

I love them together. I love all the tender moments between them and I really do feel like they might be in love with each other but won’t say it. They both bring out different sides of each other that they haven’t in their true relationships.

    Emmeline accepted his hand eagerly, allowing him to pull her up with a breathless giggle of excitement. "Hurrah for overpriced, sugar-laden beverages!" she cheered.They ambled towards the nearby cafe with their hands still intertwined, neither seeming willing to relinquish their tactile connection.Even after entering the bustling shop, Zavian kept his large palm possessively cupped around Emmeline's smaller one as they approached the menu hanging over the counter."What would you like, little girl?" he asked, tipping his head back to study the chalkboard list of drinks and pastries. "This overpriced establishment is my treat for torturing you so mercilessly earlier."Emmeline pursed her lips thoughtfully. She perused the offerings, giving an adorable little crinkle of her brow. "I can't decide if I want an iced coffee or a milkshake," she mused aloud, glancing up at Zavian. "I'm feeling a bit confused on what would hit the spot."Zavian’s eyes gleamed with wicked mirth as he leaned d

    Monday arrived rather too slowly for the sinful partners.Emmeline pulled into the marina and parked next to Zavian's sleek black Lamborghini, noting he had beaten her there.She smoothed her hands over the skintight black sheath dress hugging her curves, the soft cashmere jacket he had gifted her draped stylishly over her shoulders and cinched at the waist with a wide belt.Grabbing her purse, she headed to his luxurious yacht, her heels clicking on the polished deck as she looked around for him."Mr. Blackthorn, where are you?" she called out."In the second-floor lounge," his deep, velvety voice carried down from above.Emmeline climbed the stairs quickly, finding him standing motionless by a large undecorated pine tree, his piercing gaze drinking her in hungrily as she approached."You're actually on time for once," he drawled, one side of his sensual mouth quirking up. "I thought I might have to kidnap you from your restaurant again."Emmeline smiled at his teasing reference to w

    It had been two weeks of peace for Emmeline. At least Richard hadn’t hit her since that day though they often bickered. It was unavoidable.They were only two days away from Christmas!Emmeline had bought Zavian an expensive watch and, despite Minnie's advice, had knitted woolen gloves for him, convinced that handmade gifts were more valuable than others.She was still thinking of offering herself to him as well.That evening, Minnie came to visit them. The two hugged at the door before making their way to the sitting room."What’s the plan for Christmas Eve? Did Richard agree to let you out?" Minnie asked curiously.Emmeline clasped her fingers together and rubbed them nervously. "In fact, I haven't asked him yet. Perhaps I was seduced by the calm we've been living in lately, and I'm afraid my request might ruin it."Minnie stopped walking, looking at her friend sympathetically. "Do you want me to talk to him?"Emmeline was about to object when Minnie shoved her shoulder playfully. "I

    Christmas Eve was so tiring, Emmeline made all the food on her own, not coming out of the kitchen since began.Her house was crowded with guests at eight o'clock- her parents, Richard's parents, her older brother and his wife. Fortunately, his two brothers didn't come, otherwise the house would have turned into a barn with their four children combined.Emmeline received them in a red dress, short but not tight, with long sleeves, under which she was wearing the underwear she had chosen for her rendezvous with Zavian.Everyone finally cleared out around midnight after the Christmas Eve party.Richard had knocked back way too many drinks and was totally plastered. When Emmeline told him she was heading out, he just gave a sloppy wave goodbye, not really registering what she said.Emmeline threw on a long black coat over her festive red dress and headed for the door.As soon as she arrived at the docks, her eyes were drawn to Zavian's yacht, twinkling with silvery lights scattered along i

    Emmeline chuckled, taking another sip of her own wine before setting the glass down and changing the subject. "Tell me about your family. Is the study of law hereditary for you? Or are you the rebellious one who decided to take it up on your own?"She stuffed her mouth greedily with more meat and chewed loudly, not caring about manners in her ravenous state while Zavian meticulously cut his portion into neat slices."Are your parents alive?" Emmeline asked another question when the first one was left answered.Zavian shook his head slowly, his expression somber. "My mother died giving birth to me and my father passed before her."Emmeline immediately lowered her head in regret, cursing her own thoughtless stupidity for bringing up such a sensitive topic. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."An awkward silence reigned over their intimate meal, the only sounds being their forks scraping against the plates.When they finally finished the last bites of the delicious dinner, Zavian

    Emmeline gladly took the glove from him and carefully slid it on his large hand, her small fingers caressing his skin as she worked it into place. But to her dismay, the fingers were slightly too short for his long digits."Oh my god, why won't it fit properly?" she fretted, biting her lip anxiously as she tugged fruitlessly at the wool.Zavian chuckled at her reaction. "How could you possibly misjudge the length of my fingers when they've been inside you so many times, exploring every inch of you?" he teased shamelessly.Emmeline looked up at him helplessly, feeling at a complete loss for words. "Something must have gone wrong in the sizing. I can't believe I messed this up!" She released his hand and covered her burning face with her palms. "I'm so sorry Mr. Blackthorn. I thought it would be perfect but I ruined everything." Her voice trembled as she fought back sobs of frustration.She would have broken into tears right then and there if Zavian hadn't tenderly pulled her into his mu

    Just when Emmeline started to regret bringing it up, he finally spoke in a toneless voice. "Abortion!"“What?” Emmeline was certain she must have misheard.Zavian turned to face her, his expression utterly blank. "She got pregnant again but got rid of it."Emmeline instantly recoiled, pulling her arm free from his and brought her fingers up to cover her mouth in shock. "I can't believe Yuna would do something so heinous as to...to kill her own child!" she exclaimed."You don't know her very well then." Zavian's voice remained frighteningly calm though his eyes flashed with anger.Emmeline quickly drained the last of her wine, trying to process this horrific revelation. Setting the empty glass down on the table, she met his gaze with pity. "Can you tell me exactly what happened?"Zavian closed the photo album and set it aside on the couch with a weary sigh. Then he crossed his muscular forearms over his chest as he began to recount the painful memory."Three years after I lost my daught

    Zavian immediately stilled, freezing in place as if turned to stone. Then he jerked back just far enough to meet Emmeline's eyes, his expression one of utter shock and disbelief as though her unexpected confession had simultaneously doused his burning ardor with a bucket of ice water while also inflaming it to unbearable new heights."What?" The single word escaped his lips in a hoarse rasp, disbelief written all over his chiseled features.His broad chest was still heaving with labored breaths from their heated make-out session just moments before. However, the crease between his furrowed brows was one of utter confusion and something akin to denial.Emmeline's mouth went completely dry from the sudden, dramatic shift in atmosphere between them. Her tongue suddenly felt like lead, unable to find any saliva to moisten her parched throat.An uncomfortable lump formed in her chest, making it difficult to breathe.She kept silent for a few long, agonizing moments while they simply stared

    After a leisurely breakfast of fluffy Belgian waffles and crisp bacon with Zavian, followed by a long, steamy shower where they'd indulged in one last lingering tryst, Emmeline finally returned home.Her mind was utterly consumed with the memories of their intimate Christmas Eve together - every scorching caress, every sinful whisper, every moment seared into her memory with perfect clarity.Luckily, Richard didn't seem to suspect a thing when she arrived. Minnie had covered for her brilliantly.Emmeline had barely managed to exchange some words with Richard before practically sprinting up the stairs, murmuring some excuse about needing to freshen up after her night out.She locked herself in the bathroom and braced her trembling hands on the vanity, staring at her flushed, desire-glazed reflection for a long moment as the memories washed over her again in dizzying waves.The way Zavian had pinned her against the wall, one hand fisted in her hair as the other roamed hungrily over her

    Emmeline woke up to something wet and warm trailing across her cheek.Blinking her eyes open slowly, she found Zavian peppering her face with soft kisses, his hard morning wood pressing insistently against her stomach.Memories from their passionate lovemaking the night before came flooding back. How he had absolutely ravaged her until she felt the air knocked out of her lungs and stars danced behind her tightly squeezed eyelids. How she had almost passed out from the mind-blowing pleasure, leaving her aching core throbbing with need, wishing it was there he was pounding his thick, monstrous cock into instead. How she had silently begged him to finally pop her cherry and open her up completely.But then the bizarre, inexplicable incident replaced those yearning thoughts, making her breath hitch in her throat.Emmeline’s mind was at war with itself. She truly didn't know how much longer she could pretend she hadn't made such a mind-blowing discovery about Zavian last night.As much as

    The sinful duo were both wiped after their intense lovemaking session.Emmeline was still snuggled up against Zavian's broad, muscular chest, but no matter how utterly drained she felt, she just couldn't drift off to sleep. Her mind kept replaying the intense scene from earlier on an endless loop.She could have sworn she heard deep, animalistic growls and roars rumbling from Zavian's throat as he ravaged her body like a ravenous beast. Emmeline had also seen strange, shimmering lights seeming to emanate from him in waves. As bizarre as it sounded, she knew she hadn't just been hallucinating from the mind-blowing pleasure and pain. No amount of ecstasy could conjure up such vivid visions.Her thoughts then turned to when Zavian had asked if she would be okay dating a supernatural being, and the hurt look on his face when she hadn't given him a definite answer. Could he truly be...not human? Some kind of monster? She had always heard the saying that the devil has the most angelic featur

    Zavian was locked in an agonizing internal war, his primal instincts raging to claim his mate while his disciplined mind fought viciously to maintain control over his baser urges.The mate pull was a scorching, relentless force, clawing at his insides and inflaming every fiber of his being with an overwhelming, feral need to take Emmeline and complete their bond.'Mate wants us. Needs us to fill her, breed her,' Aetherion growled hungrily in Zavian's mind, dripping with lust. 'She can take our size, our strength. She's our mate for a reason - built to handle and crave our brutal claiming.'A guttural groan rumbled from Zavian's chest as lurid images of pinning Emmeline down and driving into her ruthlessly, claiming her in the most primitive way flashed rapidly through his mind.Her sweet cries of ecstasy and pleas for more echoed in his ears as if she were right there, writhing wantonly beneath him.'Yeah, it's the perfect time - the ideal day to finally make her ours,' Draeven snarled

    "Z-Zavian..." Emmeline whimpered his name breathlessly, writhing beneath him… pleasure driving all coherent thoughts away.Zavian’s tongue skillfully navigated her body, driving her to the brink of insanity until she shattered under his wicked mouth with a loud cry of his name."You... you were incredible," she managed to gasp out moments later.Zavian pulled away abruptly and discarded his remaining clothes to reveal his erect shaft with veins pulsating around it in anticipation."I know you enjoy my tongue, but tonight I'm going to pleasure you in a different way that doesn’t necessarily need me to open you up," he said with a smirk before crawling back up her body.His erection brushed against her, causing her center to clench in response.Zavian’s eyes held hers captive as he whispered, "You won't be able to think straight when I'm done!"Emmeline stared at him, anticipation making her pulse race.As he hovered above her, hands resting on either side of her head, she reached up and

    Emmeline found herself lost in Zavian's burning gaze. "Make me forget who I am and remember only you." She whispered.His strong hands met the small of her back, guiding her towards the bed.She fell back on the plush pillows. She watched him straddle her legs through half-lidded eyes before claiming her mouth in a fierce and all tongue exploring kiss.A shiver ran through Emmeline when she felt his hand creep under her back to unclasp her bra.Zavian slid the straps off her shoulders while never breaking the passionate kiss.He finally pulled away for a moment to admire her bare form except for the necklace he'd gifted her that nestled between her breasts. "You are exquisite," he murmured huskily, "I can't wait to taste your forbidden fruit again."That said, his gaze flicked over to a string of Christmas lights on a nearby table. Picking them up, he looked at Emmeline with an excited gleam. "Let me adorn you with these," he suggested softly."Your hands," he commanded.Obediently, Em

    Zavian traced a gentle path along her lips, sending a wave of numbness radiating through her body as heat pooled low in her belly.The hardness of him pressed against her softness stirred a whirlwind of anticipation within."You've dressed yourself up for me tonight and it's been pure torture since the moment I laid eyes on you." He paused, drawing in a breath as if he were fighting off an insatiable hunger. "It's like seeing a feast laid out before you when you're starving."Zavian leaned closer until their faces were mere inches apart. His lips brushed against her cheek, planting moist kisses that tasted of sin and decadence. "I can't let your efforts go to waste," he said with a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "That wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me now, would it?"Emmeline traced her hand over the hard planes of his chest, causing him to pause mid-kiss and look into her eyes with an intensity that made her heart flutter wildly in her chest."Who told you I'm still waitin

    "Divorce that scumbag!" Zavian stated without preamble.His words sent shock waves ricocheting through Emmeline’s body.Her eyes widened until she felt they would surely pull out of their sockets with her mouth falling open in a soundless gasp of disbelief as she struggled to process what he'd just said."What?" she finally managed to choke out, shaking her head in stunned denial as if to clear her ears.Emmeline opened her mouth again, fully intending to unleash a torrent of questions, of demands for clarification and explanation. But Zavian silenced her by pressing his index finger to her lips in a commanding gesture, his expression one of deadly seriousness that brooked no argument or interruption."If you can provide the court with documentation proving the marriage was never consummated despite all this time, the ruling will undoubtedly be in your favor,” he explained in a low, intense tone that seemed to reverberate through her very bones with the weight of his conviction. “You w

    Zavian's hands found their way to Emmeline's waist, his touch as soft as a lover's caress. His breath, however, was anything but tender. It hit her face like a gust of wind on a stormy night.He moved closer, brushing his nose against hers in an intimate gesture that make her body tingle."Do you have any idea how many sleepless nights I've spent?" he murmured. "How I couldn’t ignore what could be happening between you and your worthless excuse for a husband?"His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her body flush against his with his lips hovering dangerously close to her skin but refrained from making contact."I've told you time and again about the rage your situation stirs within me," Zavian whispered into the shell of her ear - words that set her heart pounding. "You should have done something to ease my mind."Emmeline’s hands instinctively fell on his chest, surrendering completely to him… under his breath playing havoc with her senses, causing her heart to falter erraticall
