I was very reluctant to use the word 'cock' as I never used it before in my writing. Even in spicy scenes, I used manhood. But that sounds so silly. Now, I think 'cock' is the best word to use.
Sully slept peacefully beside me. My arm was around her waist, pressing her back against my chest. I had never gone to sleep with anyone beside me before. It was new, but I had already gotten used to having her beside me. Her presence was comforting in the dark world I belonged to.I had not drank her blood tonight. I did not need to drink as much blood as I drank these days. Yet, I did, since her blood was so captivating and delicious. Something about her was always pulling me towards her, if I wanted to or not.I had to restrain myself hard not to fuck her tonight. She looked so hot and sexy as she sucked my cock.She wanted me to fuck her. I could fuck her because she was my wife. It did not matter whether my father brought her here forcefully or not. She accepted me. Deep in my heart, I knew she actually did not want me, but pretended to want me to survive. I would not fuck her, no matter how much I wanted to. Even if she told me to, I would not.If I did, I would not be able to l
The first question I asked Demian was if he enjoyed the hunt, when he told me the details about the hunt in the morning.“I do,” he answered. I was not surprised. I had expected this answer. After all, Demian was born in House Silverclaw and was raised here. He was raised to be heartless, to enjoy things people should despise. Yet, Demian turned out to be more decent than most men I met. I could not something that he was raised to love against him.I touched the side of his face. “Please help my brother,” I said. “I don’t care about anything else. You could love killing people for fun for all I care. Just save my brother.”He pressed his lips on mine. “I will try to,” he said as he pulled back.I did not press him further. I had enough trust in Demian to not question him when he said he would try to help Jace. I believed he truly would try as best as he could.I wore a bright red dress, the color of my eyes- Demian complimented. The neckline was too deep just like most of my dresses h
The players would have to be on their foot. They could use any weapon they pleased. Dela said Rose liked to use a crossbow.A crossbow. It ignited a memory in my mind. When I was six, my father told me to choose a weapon. I chose a crossbow and he beat me up because of it. He said a crossbow was not precise enough. So, I chose a bow and arrow next.Crossbows were good for beginners. Although they were precise too (unlike what my father said), for a skilled user, a bow was preferrable. Crossbows were overall easier to use since they did not require as much physical strength as a bow did.“What does Damien use?” I asked. I forgot to ask Damien the question.“I don’t know. A sword perhaps?” Dela turned to Rosalia questioningly. She did not even know what her own son used as a weapon, but knew what her stepdaughter used.“A sword,” Rosalia confirmed. “And a spear too, during the hunt.” Rosalia’s voice was milky and calm. I had never heard a more beautiful voice.Damien kept his sword in o
My eyes were burning. There was a strong odor. No one was bothered, so I did not say anything. The odor was making my head spin.“It’s the hounds,” Rosalia whispered. “They smell bad, even from far away.”“Hounds?” Why were hounds brought here?“They are to eat the bodies of the animals,” she said.“Ah…,” I murmured as if it was perfectly normal to feed the bodies of prisoners to hounds.Men and some women soon carried the remains of bodies from the forest. The forest was where the hunt was happening. We were seated right outside it.My stomach churned at the sight of the upper half of a body. A long pipe like thing was dangling from the bottom. I refrained from letting out a gag.Then, I saw the hounds. They were being held back by huge chains. Those were the biggest hounds I had ever seen. I did not know they could be so big. There were two guard hounds at the academy, but they were nowhere this big.Saliva was dripping from their mouths and they were barking loudly. The odor was ev
After lunch, it was time for the second phase of the game. I had never been particularly fond of the hunt or any of the games. But I had to participate even if I did not want to.I noticed, not for the first time, how Sully clung to Demian. I wondered if she told him about what I said. It would be a problem if she did. But then again, Demian did not confront me about anything yet. He just told me not to give his wife any weird ideas, which was rather ironic. I had quite a firm belief that Sully did not tell Demian anything.Honestly, it would be stupid of her to do so. Why would she trust Demian? Just because he was her husband? It was not even a real marriage. It was not like she wanted to marry him. Sully was definitely not that stupid.Out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed Demian saying something to Father and then leaving. Sully’s eyes followed his movements. She looked pale. Did she feel safe with Demian? Why? He was not better than any of us. He was like the rest of the Silver
They were in the forest. All the slaves. Twelve of them in total. Jace was among them.Rose had left too, at some point. No one noticed when she slipped away.There was a silver flag deep inside the forest, hidden. One of them had to come out with that and that would be the winner.I tried to think of the good times. It was hard. I could not help being worried sick about my brother. My hands were shaking, I noticed, the way they always did whenever I was too agitated about something. Sometimes, it happened before an exam at the academy. Even during the exam, no matter how easy the question was or even if I knew the answers to all of them, my hands would shake like the hands of an old person.“He will be okay,” Rosalia whispered as she sat beside me. Dela was talking loudly to Clarissa; it was a one-way conversation since Clarissa could not talk.“I hope so,” I said.Rosalia touched my hand and took it in hers. “Do you know I’m your aunt?”I gave a nod. “I heard about you. And I saw yo
My heart was pounding inside my ribcage. It had been two hours. No one had come out of the forest yet.Rosalia held my hand the whole time to comfort me. But it was making me even more nervous since my hand was all sweaty. I could not even pull it away.I could feel Luke’s eyes on me. And then, he advanced. I had been expecting it.“So, you are the Star my brother married,” Luke said. Rosalia moved me a little towards her. It was like she felt protective of me.“It is a pleasure to finally meet you,” I said, “Luke Silverclaw.”Luke was younger than me. Demian said I should not show respect to someone who was younger than me. I made that mistake with Theodore.That said, Theodore was not present today. He said he would be here, but I did not see him. I was so focused on Demian and worried about Jace that I barely noticed anyone else.“You have a nice voice,” he said. “And you are rather…” He looked down at my body. If he thought this would intimidate me, he was wrong. I was used to men
I had no idea how Jace had gotten hold of a sword even though slaves were not to have any weapons when fighting each other. But I could guess. It was Rose, wanting to have her slave win the fight, who gave Jace a sword.Sully jumped into my arms as soon as she entered our chamber. She hugged me tightly, as if I was one thing she cared about the most in the world. Even if it was a lie, I discovered it indeed made me feel better to think about it.“Thank you,” she said. “Thank you for saving him.”I hugged her back, just as tightly if not tighter.“I gave you my word, didn’t I?”In fact, it was not that hard. At least, not as hard as I thought it would be. Jace was not dumb. Just when he discovered someone was aiding him and not targeting him, he lured them in front of him so it was easier for me to shot at them.I pulled her back from the hug and checked her from head to toe. Her hands were not shaking anymore. I had noticed, whenever she was overly worried, or feeling an emotion stron
The ship reached our kingdom once again. Demian and I got down the ship with our belongings, which were not too many things.First of all, we went to an inn to eat something. I was hungry. Even though the ship was luxurious, the food had not been that good. Besides, I could barely eat anything with the constant movement of the ship.We took our horses and gave them to the son of the innkeeper who would feed the horses and brush them.We were served a beef stew with quite a lot of beef in it and bread to soak it up with. The bread was not stale, fortunately. Demian and I ate slowly, enjoying each bite.After we were done eating, Demian paid the innkeeper while I waited outside.Someone touched my shoulder and I almost screamed.“Selina!” Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around my sister, hugging her tightly. It had been so long since I had last seen her.She was wearing the usual priestess’s attire like she always did since the moment she began devoting her life to God. When we pull
All day long, Mother sat on her balcony and watched ships come and go. I sometimes urged her to take a walk with me in the garden, or down the streets, but she never took me up on my offers. She would smile and say that she was fine where she was.I brought a doctor to take a look at her. The doctor said that Mother should not remain idle all the time. It was making her body weak. She needed to walk at least for an hour each day.Mother did not listen to the doctor, or to me, or to anyone.Jace and I arrived two days ago. These two days, all she did was sit by the window and watch the ships like a little child who was fascinated by it.“My daughter will return in one of those ships,” Mother would say to everyone who went near her.“Sully is not here, Mother. She will not come back,” Jace said many times. We believed that Sully had settled her life somewhere far away and in a quiet place and was never going to come back. It was better that way as long as she was happy wherever she was.
Hearing about Sully’s condition and what Father did to her made me disgusted. At that moment, I hated Father more than I ever hated anyone before. And I pitied my sister. I was worried about her.I knew that Father would be angry about Sully’s lost maidenhood. But I never thought he would take it that far. I never could imagine that he could hurt his own daughter like that.‘You knew he hurt Millie. But you never did anything. You knew about it all. You saw how he slapped her, hit her with a cane and sometimes whipped her. You saw it all, but you acted like a blind man. You acted like you did not see anything. You pretended like you did not know anything just to avoid any kind of confrontation or responsibility,’ a voice inside my head said.But then again, Millie was an illegitimate daughter unlike Sully.‘There is no difference. You know it very well.’I tried to shake the voice out of my head.“Do you think she truly went to another kingdom like Father thinks she did?” Selina asked
This ship was better than the one I took with Leo and Rose before. This one looked much luxurious. The cabin we got was quite big. The bed was meant for two and the sheet and covers were clean.Demian talked to the captain while I looked around our cabin. At least, I did not have to worry about catching skin diseases here, sleeping under the covers.I was truly going back with Demian. There was no turning back now. I had chosen this.Sometimes I wondered what would have happened if I did not want to go back with Demian. Would he have forced me to come with him?I did not know. I did not want to know the answer, lest it should make feel bad. Besides, I knew what kind of person Demian was. He might be better than Alexander, but in the end, they were similar in many ways. I could not expect him to change himself, not after the way he had to grow up. He had to kill his own twin brother. That kind of thing was bound to mess up someone’s conscience. It was a surprise that Demian had not tur
It was raining a bit. Demian brought us two horses which would take us to the port. We were to take a ship back to our kingdom. It would take a long time, but that was okay.The two horses were huge and black. They were not just like big horses. They were monstrous in size and look.“Where did you get them?” I asked.“They look like you brought them from hell,” Lloid said, who was a moderately religious person.“This one is mine,” Demian said, patting the one which was bigger than the other. “I brought him with me.”“On a ship?” I asked.“He did not like it, but that was the only way. I like this horse,” Demian said. Only Demian would bring a horse all the way from another kingdom.“What’s his name?” I asked.“Thunder,” Demian answered.“That’s majestic. He looks majestic,” I murmured. Indeed, Thunder looked like a horse that carried a conqueror on her back.Demian and I started our journey in the afternoon. We did not want anyone to see us, so we waited until it got dark. The port wa
I made a potion for me to prevent pregnancy. Instead of relying on others, I decided to make one for me.Leo said he would stay here a while more. Demian and I would leave in three days.Demian was painting something. He had painted a lot in the past few days. He had once painted bruises on my skin which looked oddly real. I still could not forget standing in front of the mirror with those fake bruises all over my body. But now, my father gave me some real bruises.I shook my head. I had promised not to think about that. Most of the time, I pretended like everything was fine and that I was not in mental and physical pain most of the time. However, it never was possible to forget. I kept remembering and reliving that day all over again.I hated the kind of effect my father’s action had on me. I could not stop thinking about it. Whenever I closed my eyes, I kept seeing him right in front him, hurting me, beating me, whipping me. And I cried and begged, but he did not stop. No matter how
Mother sat at the bench with her hands clasped together on her lap. Her eyes were closed and her brows knitted together, as if in pain. Someone might think that she was asleep and was having a nightmare.I touched her on the shoulder. “Mother?” I called.She opened her eyes, those red ruby eyes that she passed on to Sully and me. When I was a child, I read in a children’s book that demons had red eyes. Since then, I had been afraid to look into the mirror. I cried about it and asked my nanny if I was a demon, who said that children’s book sometimes lied to make children afraid.I did not believe her. I went to Mother and asked her about it, who said that it was better to be a demon than a god who did not listen to the prayers of the devoted ones. It seemed like she had been angry at God to say something like that.Later, Sully told me that it was because she was angry at Father because Father kept betraying his vows that he took during their wedding.“You look pale, Mother,” I said. “
“I have to tell you something.” I automatically expected the worse when Sully said this the moment I woke up and walked into the kitchen. She had cooked beef porridge and prepared orange juice. I had to admit that she had gotten very good at cooking a few dishes.I rubbed my eyes. I still was sleepy. I could not understand why I suddenly was so sleepy. I had not been like this in a long time.Lloid was still sleeping. I poked his back a few times with my finger but he did not even move. It was like he was dead, so I checked his pulse. He was alive. Just asleep.I turned my attention back to Sully, who looked like she did something she was ashamed of. It was not like Sully. She usually was never ashamed of anything she did. She rarely felt guilty about something. She always said that she never regretted a single decision she made.“Is something wrong?” I asked. My head felt numb. It was like I could not think straight. For this reason, I never took sleeping potion no matter how hard it
I opened the door of my room and tiptoed to Leo and Lloid’s room. I knocked once, but nothing. Both Lloid and Leo woke up at the slightest noise. I could wake up at the slightest noise as well, but since my body was weak, I could not do so anymore. I slept deeply. Otherwise, how did I not hear when Demian came in?“They will not wake up,” Demian whispered into my ear. I almost jumped.I was a little sore between the legs, so walking straight was difficult. It was not like Demian had been rough like he was all the time. In fact, he had been gentle and passionate. Yet, I was in a little pain. I did not tell Demian that since I had been the one who insisted on doing it.“Did you hurt them?” I asked.“Of course not. You care about them,” he said. “They are just sleeping. I injected them with sleeping potion. They will be fine in the morning.”“How?”“I could not get through the window without waking anyone since you locked all of them. So, I decided to get through the front door. I knocke
