2024-11-16 10:40:00Jessie was gripping the bouquet a little too tight that she could feel the flowers being crushed by her hands. She could not believe that the man, the lord who was coming up to her at the reception was the one that she was marrying.
So much for running away from him last week, she mused before Tom, her now-husband, broke the kiss and they were staring at the crowd. They were smiling at them before she spotted there was the new Duchess of Belikov as well as Emily.
They were smiling at her as Jessie smiled before Tom pulled her out of the church and went to the reception that had been arranged at the estate.
Of course, there were perks of marrying a Lord but there will be consequences as well. Jessie just hoped that she would not encounter them earlier than she wanted to.
However, that would be her dream as the night just got better and better.
After the ceremony, they went to the wedding reception that Tom had arr

Tom noticed that his wife had been sipping on the wine for quite some time now as he was sipping on the wine as well. She was smiling at him when she sipped on the wine even more and looked around the ballroom.Maybe it’s time to call it a night, Tom thought before Jessie stood up from her seat and went to him. Then, she was leaning on the table as she was looking into his eyes. Her blue orbs clashed with his violet ones.“You know, I was kind of thinking that you might just want to get this night over with so why don’t we got to our bedchamber and get on with it?” For a Lady, she does speak her mind and in this society as well.“Jessie, I think you have enough wine for tonight—” Tom was interrupted as Jessie leaned closer to him. Her alluring scent was sending Ton’s demon into a frenzy zone where he just wanted her to be down on the mattress of their bed and have his wicked ways with her.“Wh

Jessie was looking at the book that she was reading for her new research about the gentry of the island when the butler knocked on the door before she looked up at him. She closed the book as she was smiling at the butler.“Madame, there are some people here to see you,” he said as Jessie closed the History of Niapachad Island book before she got up from the divan.“Who was it?” She asked before her visitors were coming across the room. Emily was looking at her before she recognized the other person.It was the Duchess of Belikov, Lady Rebecca Dragomir.“Hello, my dear. We thought that we could stop by to say hello and congratulate you on your wedding,” Emily said before Jessie nodded at the butler that she would entertain the guests as he went to get the tea going for them.“Of course, come on in, my dears. I’m sorry that I did not prepare the tea right away. You did not tell me that you wanted to vi

Jessie gasped as she did not think that her husband would be so bold in claiming her mouth. He kissed her with all the strength that he had. Jessie was trying to resist the temptation at first before she succumbed to his kisses.Man, this gentleman knows how to kiss a woman—specifically a lady, Jessie mused before the darker thought came into her mind.He has practiced this with someone else other than you. He did not love you! Her mind shouted as Jessie pushed her husband away. They were breathing hard before Jessie did something that she never thought she would do to Tom.She slapped him.Jessie breathed hard. Then, she blinked her eyes as she was looking at her hand. Tom’s head was pushed to the right side of his body as he blinked his eyes. After the reality set in, Tom was looking at her.“Did you just...”"I hate you, my lord,” Jessie said before Tom bl

Ava sucked in a deep breath when she was looking around at the dinner table. Marsh has taken his seat at the head of the table with the queen on his right her husband next to her and her parents and herself on the left side of his table.It was glorious to think that Marsh was Baron of Fell and it was a shocking surprise. Ava did not know how to react but only to stare at him when he was not looking before he cleared his throat as the young queen was looking at him expectedly.“Well, I would like to thank all for coming tonight. The queen has requested that I should get along with the Higher Court and the region that I inherited but also she wanted me to get to know you, Lord Randolph,” Marsh said as Ava was sipping on the wine when she felt his eyes on her a moment ago.Ava tried not to look flustered but she was and it was not a good sign to show it in polite company. Her mother laughed at Marsh’s statement before she was playing with the clo

“I love you, Jessica Rambova,”That sentence alone made Jessie’s fragile heart bloom. She was gripping his hair as her walls were clenching around her husband’s cock before she was moaning loudly. They were in the library, knowing that the household could hear them right now.Jessie could care less now since Tom confessed that he loved her. Jessie knew that she loved him from the first time that she was saved by Tom when the bandits attacked her.She was indebted to him."I love you, Thomas Rambova,” she mouthed as she hugged her husband who was nuzzling her neck. She sensed that Tom was kissing her neck as Jessie was remembering that a Vampyre would likely claim his bride.And the spot was the neck.Is that why the duchess and the marchioness were wearing the chokers on their necks? Jessie mused before Tom was getting up from her neck. He smiled at her when he kissed her lips again as

“Well, it would seem that I have to get going now. Becca wanted to try this new tea house that she has been insisting me to accompany her,” Niklaus said as he sighed. Tom arched his eyebrow before the marquis, Ian, was laughing at his statement.“Why don’t you just let her go by herself? That way, you will not have to suffer for another boring part of the night,” Ian said before the duke chuckled.“If you knew anything about our marriage at all, you guess it all wrong, my friend,” the duke said as their carriages were in front of the castle.“Well, I would love to sit and chat but I have an appointment with my wife. Good day, my friends,” Niklaus said as he was getting into the carriage. The footman closed the door and the carriage moved forward. Ian laughed before his carriage stopped in front of them.“Are you going to wait out here? Where’s your ride?” Ian asked before another carr

Jessie did not know that her husband’s kiss was all it took for her to succumb to this demon. She knew that it was a dumb thing to be falling for a Vampyre and never heard of the scandals that might be attached to them.She knew better now.Jessie was struggling to get away from her husband as she bit on his tongue. Tom cursed before she was released from his assault as Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was tasting the blood that was in his mouth before he turned to look at Jessie.“You bit me,” he said as Jessie tilted her chin.“You deserved it,” she said as Tom smirked at her. Jessie knew that her husband was a dangerous man but right now, with that smirk and all, he was even more dangerous.Why do I have to marry a Vampyre? She mused when Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was advancing towards her as she was hitting the wall of the library. The fire crackled and before Jessie co

Jessie never thought that she would beg for something. In her life, she never did because she was a Lady and her parents have been influential enough that she can do anything that she wanted and got everything in her life without as much to beg for it.But this time, it was different.Jessie knew that Tom would likely have her as his bride but she wanted to be one. She wanted what Becca and Emily had. But if she has to beg for it, then she was more than willing. Jessie had never felt like this before but for Tom, she would.“Thomas,” she panted his name before she felt the familiar sensation of his teeth sinking into her neck. This time, it was not hurtful as before. This time, it was everything that she could do to make sure to not have her wicked way with Tom.This was his moment, his claim on her, and Jessie could not be happier than this.“Jess,” he moaned as her husband was thrusting in and ou

ARABELLA“It is a shame that our king and queen were lost and drowned in the shipwreck. Our condolences to Princess Arabella and the Duke of Belikov,” someone from the Higher Court said as I was holding the champagne in my hand. I smiled before I nodded at him and drank my wine. ItWas bubbly but nothing was much worse than pretending that I wanted to be here.I just wanted to be left alone but of course, Niklaus will not let me have my moment.After that, the Lords of the Higher Court were looking at each other before I put the glass down. Then, Lord Davenport spoke as he cleared his throat.“Princess, as we all know, you are in mourning for two weeks and I understand if you think this discussion will not be gracing your ears, but I must insist that you will hear it nonetheless,” he said before I was looking at him, arching my eyebrows.“And what matter is it that you are trying to tell m

ARABELLAI don’t know what to say but to stare at the bodies that the royal guards assured me. I was not going to cry, but when Niklaus hugged me and told me to be strong, tears were starting to accumulate in my eyes.Heat swelled behind them before I was blinking my eyes as I turned to look at my cousin. He was looking solemn before he was patting my shoulder.“Stay strong, Ara. You know you can do it,” he said before I turned to see that he had ordered the guards to put the king and queen’s bodies away before the funeral tomorrow. I looked after the white sheets that covered them and as always, the tears were not coming out.I will not cry. I will be strong. I cannot let them beat me, I reminded myself before I took a deep breath and I went out of the hallway as I was going to my room. Preferably to sleep it off and just to think this was a nightmare.A real nightmare.The next morning came, and I h

Marsh went into the study room and he went up to the decanter that has all sorts of poison for his choice. He took the rum and poured it down into a glass before he was sipping it in one go, leaving a burning taste of it inside his throat.He stopped his glass midway when he was turning on all his senses to hear something. Someone was coming for him and it took all his might not to turn to look at the lady that has been attracting his attention from the start.Marsh knew that it was not good for her and himself if he was to deny their attraction to one another. It was one thing that he hated about the match that was being made by the queen.He sighed before he was sipping on the rum as his wife was making her way into the study room.“You’re wrong,” she said as she was panting when she was coming to stand in the doorway as Marsh was trying to ignore the demon that wanted to claim her inside him.’Mine,’ it sai

Ava was sipping on the wine as the ladies were talking with each other and she was one of them as well. The Duchess of Belikov, Becca was smiling as her best friend, Emily, the marchioness of Kain were talking with each other.“I cannot believe that Daniel’s cousin is finally married. And here we are trying to figure out the man myself but here we are talking to his wife right now. How do you not know that your husband’s cousin was in town, Caroline?” the ladies asked my best friend before she shrugged.“Hey, I am not in this family for so long and I am not his maid. Daniel did not know that he was getting married until we had the invitation,” Caroline said as she was sipping on the wine. I smiled.“At least, we will not be playing with the queen’s matchmaking anymore. It was hard when she wanted our husbands to find a bride and to think that she had a say in anything,” Jessie said as she was shaking her head. I pondered on that.“Yeah, Niklaus and I met

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She could not think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle in a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they had to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight would be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.Not her mother.

Ava walked to the study room that her mother insisted she come. She just got out of the bath and she was ready to take on a new thought before she heard some conversation inside the room. And it was about her, none the wiser.“…I will be in touch then, Lord Randolph,” the familiar voice came from inside the room as the servant opened the door for Ava to enter. It was her mother who spotted her first before she was greeting her.“Ava, dear, would you like some tea? His Lordship was about to leave as he thought he would not be meeting you,” her mother said with a glistening shine in her eyes that made Ava want to know what they were talking about in the first place. She was aware that it was about her, so might as well get some information about it.“You waited for me?” Ava asked Marsh as she was locking her eyes with his. He smiled before her mother was fussing over them and they were not the only ones that wanted to be

Marsh was looking at himself in the mirror, standing from head to toe. He sighed as he was tying the cravat onto his neck. This is not what I had in mind when I was coming back here, hosting a dinner party for the queen and her seneschal, Marsh thought before a knock disturbed him.“Come in,” he said before the old butler was coming into the bedchamber. He was smiling at him before the butler bowed to him.“The guests are here, my lord,” the old man said as Marsh was nodding at him. He was looking at himself for the last time before he took the cravat and put it inside his waistcoat.“Are the seneschal and his family here as well?” he asked the butler before the old man nodded.“Aye, my lord. And the daughter is a pretty one. I think the young queen has chosen well,” the butler said as Marsh frowned at him. If the butler did not know about this matter, Marsh would certainly make some other arrangement as wel

Ava was smiling at the carriage ride as she was holding hands with Marsh right now. She did not know when this developed but after that kiss that they shared, she knew that she was being courted by this lord.Is this what it felt like to be courted to marry? Ava smiled as she felt the hand that was squeezing hers. She turned to look at Marsh before he smiled upon her.“I see that you are quite content with yourself, darling,” he said as he used the endearment that was only reserved for someone dear to them. And right now, Marsh was using that on her. Her heart was beating fast before she blushed and smiled shyly as Marsh was pulling her closer.This is heaven, Ava mused before she was looking at the mansion that was standing still in front of her. She gave the directions to get to her house but she did not classify which one was hers.She just hoped that Marsh did not want to come and greet her parents. She was not ready for

Ava was riding the horse astride as she knew that people might be surprised to see a Lady riding a horse without her riding habits.How come I wear that when I have a date with a potential suitor? Ava thought grimly before she pulled the rein. She stopped in front of a stable as the stable boy was holding her horse.“How much for a day?” she asked before the boy looked at her.“A Tellu, ma’am,” he said as Ava nodded at him before paying him the money and walked to the center of the Square as she was waiting for her date to show up. But Ava did not have to wait since she was spotting Marsh from afar as he was smiling brightly at her and her heart skipped a beat.Control, Ava, control, she reminded herself as she was smiling when she was looking at the man in front of her.“You’re early, my lord,” Ava said as she curtsied to him. Marsh smiled before he took her hands and kisse
