"I cannot believe that you will be married after two months of me getting married," Lady Rebecca Dragomir, the 8th Duchess of Belikov, was smiling as she was looking at the new Marchioness of Kain, Lady Emily Hassildor. Emily was smiling weakly at her best friend as Becca was smiling happily at Emily's union with Ian. If only she knew what I was bargaining with the marquis, Emily mused before she was looking at her husband who was talking with Becca's husband, Niklaus Dragomir, the 8th Duke of Belikov.

"So, do you want to tell me how he proposed?" Becca asked Emily before she sighed. He didn't, she mused before Emily was smiling at her best friend. Becca was waiting for her answer.

"Well, we sort of met at a ball," she started as Becca was nodding at her.

"Yes, and then?" She asked before Emily was feeling that her face was hot, remembering the details that happened in the garden before the young queen caught them in an inappropriate act. Emily was looking at Becca before she was shaki

    Emily was tossing and turning as she felt something soft on her. She opened her eyes before she was looking at an unfamiliar window as well as an unfamiliar surrounding around her. She sat up before she was looking at the grand bed that she was sitting on."Ah, you're awake. Finally," the deep voice that she knew belonged to Lord Dorian Hassildor, her husband now, was booming across the room as Emily turned in that direction. Ian was sipping on his tea as he was looking at her. "Sleep well, my dear?" He asked before Emily was looking at herself. She was in her thin, white muslin chemise before she was pulling the blanket on the bed to cover herself. Ian chuckled. "It's not like I haven't seen anything," he said that made Emily glare at him."What are you doing in my bedchamber?" She asked before she did not know if it was her bedchamber after all. Ian chuckled lowly before he stood up from the divan that he was sitting on to go to the edge of the bed. Emily gripped the blanket tighter.

    Emily was standing with Ian next to her under the moonlight as the sound of their carriage was coming up to stop in front of them. Ian was looking wickedly handsome with his Ditto suit; black waistcoat, breeches, and outer coat. She could not help but ogle at her handsome husband before she was looking away as Ian was turning at her. "After you, milady," he said as he was offering his hand to help Emily to get on the carriage while she was gathering her skirts. After she was seated, Ian got inside the carriage as well before he tapped his griffin cane to the roof and the carriage was moving forward."I hope you will not get drunk again, wife, for there will be some other lords from the Higher Court. I don't want you to ruin your reputation again like the night of our reception," Ian said as Emily was looking at him. She felt a pang inside her chest as she was nodding her head."Of course, as you wish, my lord," she said as she was turning her head to look outside the window. She can se

    Emily did not know what happened because all she can think of was her husband's wonderful lips. She was shocked that she cannot think of anything else that was happening right now. All the things that she knew had gone out the window. Ian was not helping either. He was groaning as he was bringing Emily's lithe body to him as he was molding his hardness to her. Emily moaned."You have no idea what you did to me, Emmy. From that first night I laid my eyes on you at that reception, I know that you will be mine forever," Ian whispered to her left ear as he was kissing her earlobe before moving down to her jaws and neck. Emily moaned before she was gripping his hair.It was silky and she loved every second of it.Her skirts rustled as Ian was pulling them up to her waist. Her legs covered with stockings and garters were hit by the cold air of the night. The carriage was still moving as Ian was kissing her neck and went lower. Lower and lower until he was between her legs. Emily was looking

    Emily was smiling as she was spending her day inside the library as Ian was doing his work at the Higher Court in the Stone Tower. She was reading a book about plants and how to care for them before the door was opened. She turned to look that Ian was striding inside the library, making his way to the sofa that Emily was sitting on. Emily closed her book before she was standing up. Her skirts rustled before Ian was pulling her into his arms.Emily was snaking her hands into his silky hair before Ian was kissing her on the lips. She smiled before she was looking at her husband's handsome face. And what a face it was. "Hi, have you been waiting long?" Ian asked Emily as he was caressing her sides. Emily shook her head before Ian was smirking. "So, you have been waiting for me then?" Ian asked her before Emily was slapping his hard chest playfully. Ian laughed."You know I would. You're my husband and every night you bring me to another pinnacle after another," Emily whispered to Ian that

    Lady Emily Hassildor was having a blast time with the Duchess of Belikov, Lady Rebecca Dragomir. They went sightseeing as well as getting some supplies for their clothing and tried some teas and bought for their husbands. Right now, Emily was sitting in the backyard of Belikov Estate after a tiring day of shopping around and sightseeing Royal Molftus with Becca since her marriage to Niklaus. Emily could not be happier just catching up and chatting with her best friend. Becca sighed as she was leaning against the chair in the backyard as Emily was sipping on the tea that has been prepared by the maid for them both."It is so much tiring since I haven't been going around for a while. Nick is too busy to go out with me and so I spend my time in the library," Becca said as Emily was nodding at her. "But now that you're back in Royal Molftus, I think I can safely say that we will be going out quite often, spending our husbands' wealth," Becca said as Emily was looking at her neck. She was w

    Emily did not know what to do. She froze to the spot that Ian was gripping her neck and was now, apparently, sucking her blood. She cannot do anything as she was remembering what she learned when she was younger; when her parents were still alive and her brother was still around. So, the legend of the Gentry being something else was true then, she mused as she was controlling her silent sob when Ian was sucking off from her neck.The blood was covering her bodice as well as her skirts. Emily has been pulled down by Ian to the floor as he was on top of her. She was closing her eyes as she did not know what to do when she was assaulted by her husband right now. Emily just prayed that she would wake up from this nightmare as Ian was licking the wounds before he sighed with relief. Emily opened her eyes to see the familiar amber orbs of her husband were staring at her and she was shocked to see there was regret in them right now.*****Ian did not know that blood could be so...alluring and

    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

    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.
