The Duke Who's Devilish Chapter 26
Becca hit Niklaus on the door of the cottage as she was shedding his clothes. Niklaus was impatient as his wife when she tossed his waistcoat away and he pulled the shirt over his head. His muscles were reflected by the candlelight that illuminated their cottage. Before Becca can do anything, Niklaus was ripping her fichu and kissing her collarbone as well as her neck."Nick,""Yes, my love?" Niklaus said as he was removing the buttons of her gown before she was stepping out of the bodice as well as the skirt, leaving her standing in her chemise as Niklaus was smiling at the half-nakedness that his wife was in."Now, remove it for me," he said before his hands were moving toward his breeches, removing the buttons slowly as Becca was pulling the laces that were holding her chemise together. She tugged at it and the cloth was giving away, showing her husband the top of her breasts before she shrugged the chemise from her shoulders. Niklaus was removing the breeches as he stood there with

Nick did not hear anything about Russell Davenport for he was one of the Lesser Gentry and he never stood for his father at court but that didn't mean that Nick would not be making inquiries about his fellow peer of the realm. It would be a shame if the Duke of Belikov, cousin to the current queen did not know anything about his fellow lords, Higher Court or Lesser Gentry.He was navigating Msallste Square with ease as he was looking around to make sure that he was on the right track to find the estate that Becca's oldest sister would be residing. If he did not know any better, Niklaus would say that Becca was agitated to meet her sister. Was it because it has been a long time, not thinking about the time that her sister came to their estate as a surprise for her? Or was Becca felt like she cannot face her sister without saying anything about the secret that she now held till the end of her life?"Are you alright, my love? You look...kind of off today," Nick said as he was soothing her

The pregnant silence was deafening as Rafael and Russell were staring at the Davis sisters that were trying to humiliate each other. Niklaus noticed that neither husband was making any statement to make sure that their wives would not bully their youngest sister again. But what Niklaus did not count for when Lord Rafael Douglas was getting up from his seat and tugged his wife with him."Apologize, Your Graces. I did not think that my wife was disciplined enough for talking in that tone to you, even though you're family. I believe we have extended our invitation to this dinner," Rafael said as he was pulling Rosa to follow him. Becca blinked at her brother-in-law and reading between the lines of his firm lips and hard eyes, she knew that Rosa will be suffering on her account."Please, Rafael, that would be unnecessary. I did not take any of that statement personally and to be quite frank, I have always been speaking with Rosa that way. It is our...um...affection to one another," Becca

It has been a few weeks since their wedding trip to Moorgis and that disastrous dinner with her sisters and their husbands. Becca was humming softly as the twilight just entered the sky. The indigo sky indicated that their nightlife will be starting as Niklaus has to leave to be at the Stone Tower, leaving Becca to spend her time in their estate's library. Becca has picked up another reading that she found in the massive library as the tomes were worn out and the spines have been cracked since the start of their lifetime."Milady, there is someone to see you. Are you willing to see her?" the old butler said as Becca turned her head from the pages that she was immersed in the new tome that she was reading. She closed the book before smiling at the butler as she was standing up from the divan that she was sitting in the library."Who was it?" she asked him as she was putting the tome on the table that was situated at the end of the divan. The butler was bowing his head at her."The lady

Everyone believed that Niapachad Island was an island located on the west side of Crete Island in the Aegean Sea. However, no one survived to tell the truth of that belief.

Emily was looking at the surroundings that were laid upon her when the maid was opening the master bedchamber in front of her. She gulped as she was looking at the messy bed and the papers were everywhere. "Here you go, the master bedchamber," the maid stated as she smiled before Emily was gripping the broom that she was given when she was in the servants' quarter earlier."Thank you," she said as she was looking at the bedchamber. She groaned inside."Don't forget. Be the shadows," the maid reminded her as she left Emily to her work. Emily was looking at the floor before she sighed as she was putting a pail of water with soap on the floor and she was looking at the dusty floor."Time to get busy then," she said as she was taking a brush and she was washing the floor. She was humming a happy song that she knew would lift her spirit before she did not notice that she was being watched from afar. Emily felt the tingling in her nape that she was being watched. She turned around to see tha

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

Arabella was sitting in front of the window as she settled in on the patio that was designated there. It was a nice view of the sunset from the seaside cottage that she was occupying with her husband at the moment.The plan was in motion as she was sipping on the blood-laced tea before she felt the hands that were encircling her stomach. She smiled before she turned to look over her shoulder as her husband was kissing her nose.“What are you thinking about?” Aiden asked her before she leaned back into his strong arm. It has always been her anchor and her support throughout these years after she took the mantle and the crown that came with the responsibility of her country. She shook her head.“Nothing,” she replied before Aiden bites her earlobe. She moaned as it had been a few hours since their tumble in bed.But of course, the queen will never give in so easily.“Your nothing always means something. So, you either sp
