Ian was drying his wife's hair as Emily was sitting at the vanity. She was silent before Ian was kissing her naked shoulder that was not covered by the towel. She giggled before she turned as Ian was finished with her hair. "So, are you ready to tell me to make me understand?" Emily asked him as Ian was looking at his wife. How can I be so lucky to have her? He mused before he was kneeling in front of Emily as he was sighing.

"Well, first of all, you need to understand that I have Porphyria was not my choice and it has never been anyone's choice to survive it. But I did and I think I have to make sure that you understand that I need blood constantly throughout my whole life," Ian started as Emily was staring at him. She nodded before he was kissing her knuckles.

"Then, what happened after you survived it?" Emily asked him as she was caressing his hands with her thumbs. Ian sighed before he was looking at Emily. They were staring at each other.

"After I was 15 years old, I felt that my

    Ian was looking at his wife's beautiful face as they had exhausted each other last night, again. She was breathing normally as Ian can see the claim that he put on her neck, body, heart, and soul. Emily mumbled something in her sleep before she turned the other way. Ian chuckled as she was reaching out for Ian even in her sleep and that pleased the Demon inside him."Ian..." she whispered as her hand was stretching out the wrong side of the bed. Ian wrapped his wife in his arms before kissing her bare shoulder as he tucked her closer to his side. Emily sighed as she put her face against his armpit. Ian smiled before he was closing his eyes again, waiting for the dusk to arrive as the sun was still shining above their heads.The curtains were drawn as Ian was awakened by the sounds that the maid did. He was looking around before he noticed that his usual staff was busy cleaning their bedchamber. Emily sighed before she was snuggling against Ian even more.The maid was surprised to see t

    Ian arrived a few moments later as Tom was already seated at his usual spot, at the back of the courtroom, glaring at everyone that was present there. Nick was smiling at Ian as he was talking to Dan, Viscount of Vyckos, about some finery that the duke wished to get for his wife. Ian nodded at Dan and Nick before he was looking around the courtroom for a certain baron.Ian arched his eyebrows. "Marsh isn't here?" he asked before Nick was shaking his head. Dan smirked before patting Ian on the shoulder as he sighed."Oh, you know how it is. Marsh went on an adventure in the name of the young queen, not having time to send some telegram or missive for us. We're that unimportant to him," he said as he was nodding, playing the drama king he was. Ian rolled his eyes before removing Dan's hand from his shoulder."Okay, enough of that, I think we better start on solving the problem that Fell sent a missive to the queen that there were some rebellions that were happening around the country," T

    Ian was excited to show Emily the wilds that he spent when he was a little lad. He was looking at the sleeping Emily beside him as her head was leaning against his shoulder. He was holding her hand as the dim sunlight was penetrating the curtains over the windows of the carriage. He sighed as he tried to avoid the sunlight that seeped through so that his skin would not be blistered by the harsh light. Also, Ian had to protect Emily's skin from it. Hence, he pulled her closer to his side."Hmm," she mumbled in her sleep before she was nuzzling his neck. Ian smiled as he smelled the lily scent that was coming off her skin. Like every morning when he was between her legs."Emmy? My love? Are you awake?" he whispered as the carriage was rolling slowly to a stop. The horses neighed before the coachman was getting off. Then, there was some rustling and mumbling as the horses neighed before they were being led to the nearest water source. Ian smiled as he can smell the freshwater that was aw

    Emily was smiling happily as she was submerging herself in the lake, the cold water lapped her warm skin as the stars were shining brightly like the fine jewels that one found in Stonelockteco. She sighed before her husband was kissing her naked shoulders."What are you thinking about, my love?" Ian said as he was washing her back with a rag Emily sighed before she was leaning back against his chest. It was chilly but being close to her husband brought the fire inside her. Her Demon was happy and contented that she didn't have to ravish Ian again for tonight.But something else was pulling her to the other side of the lake. She heard someone was singing but Emily thought that it must have been the winds among the trees. The dark forest that was known as Ngis Forest swayed before Emily felt like she had enough of bathing for now. She turned to look at her husband as Ian was arching his eyebrow at her."What's wrong?" he asked before Emily smiled."I think I like to have supper now," she

    "Now, all you have to do is pull this string until it touches your mouth, make sure that the arrow is lined up to your target before releasing it," Ian whispered as Emily tried to concentrate on the lesson that her husband was giving. If only that he's not distracting my focus with his good scent and muscular upper body as well as his heavy erection, I'm sure that I will get this in the first try of shooting the arrow, Emily mused but she was not complaining as Ian was helping to stabilize her stance as well as her hold on the bow and arrow."Are you sure you can handle such sport, my love? It would seem that you are rather... distracted," Ian whispered again as his mouth was brushing against her earlobe. Emily bit her lower lips before she released the arrow and it did not even hit the target that was like 50 feet away. She turned to glare at her husband as Ian was smirking, knowing that she would not be able to hit the tree that they practiced as their target."You're the one that di

    After the most erotic intercourse that Ian had with his wife last night, he was in his happy place as he was dreaming it, again and again, feeling her soft skin and wicked that lips that brought Ian to his knees. But of course, when he was reaching out for the real person that slept next to him to do those actions again, he found out that Emily was not beside him in their makeshift bed. Ian opened his eyes slowly, rubbing them with his palms as he was looking around the makeshift tent as he did not see his wife anywhere."Emily? Where are you, my love?" he asked, pushing the covers away as Ian pulled on his breeches. He was looking at his wife's side, noticing that she has been out of their warm bed for quite some time now but Ian could not think of a place that Emily would be out and about before dawn when there was nothing else to do except to cuddle to him on their wedding trip. Then, he heard them. Those beautiful, haunting songs were seeking revenge for the lost love of a maiden

    Ian was looking at the makeshift tent that was now down and packed to be put into the traveling trunk as Emily was dusting her skirts as she was smiling at him. Ian smiled back as he went to her side and swept Emily off her feet as he kissed the living twilight out of her. His wife giggled before with his acute hearing, Ian heard that their carriage was approaching. He put his wife down before he turned as the coachman was pulling the reins of the carriage horses. He bowed at Ian. "Milord," he said as the footman stepped down from his place and went to put the trunk onto the carriage as the coachman helped him. Emily sighed."Well, this is a bit rush for our wedding trip but for three days and two nights, that was something I could never forget about it," his wife said, smiling as Emily turned and put her hand on the crook of his arm as Ian was walking them to be at the edge of the lake for the last time. Emily was staring at the clear water that held so many secrets and another race f

    After they had arrived, Ian and Emily went to the dining hall, breaking their fasts as Ian was reading The Island to know about the current issues that were being discussed during the last Higher Court meeting. But it would seem that the riots that were happening in those villages were not being solved. Somehow, they actually got worse as Ian was reading about the miners in Stonelockteco was striking against the viscount. Ian shook his head. "I hope Dan is okay from his visit there," he mumbled as Ian was sipping on his blood-laced wine before he was eating some toast and eggs. Emily dabbed her mouth with a napkin before she addressed him."What do you mean, my love? Is the viscount is in any danger? I sure hope he would be okay. But to clarify, is he like you? Enhanced and everything?" Emily asked as Ian turned to look at his wife. He smiled before closing the papers and focused on his meal. He scooped some eggs and ate them. He nodded."Yes, thankfully. If not, I'm sure he would be a

    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.
