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 fact that Sully had been pregnant knew only a few people. There had been a rumor going around. I questioned Jade Star about it and he was forced to admit it. He said Sully had a miscarriage and that she was not pregnant anymore.Now, he was planning to take revenge on the Silverclaws. I joined him because I also had a debt to settle with them. Alexander Silverclaw took my bride from me on our wedding day.They took the woman from me who I wanted all my life since the moment I saw her.I never wanted much things in my life. But Sully- she was the only thing I truly wanted. I set my eyes on her and knew I had to have her.When I met her, I thought she was the prettiest girl every with brown skin and ruby red eyes and long curly hair. She talked little, but watched everything with curious eyes. I remembered asking my father who that little girl was. When he told me, I knew I needed to have her. I wanted her.But then I heard that she ran away from
For some reason, I dreamed of Millie tonight. It was strange. I never even thought about her. At least, not much.I woke up and found Demian beside me. He was staring at me. Okay, it was a little uncomfortable to think that he watched me while I was sleeping.“What’s wrong?” he asked. “A nightmare?”“No… Just a dream,” I said. “About my half-sister.”“Millie Thorn.”“Ah yes, she is a Thorn now. I keep forgetting,” I said. “I wonder if she is happy there. I wonder if Rezef is treating her right.”“You said Rezef is a righteous and kind man. If he doesn’t treat his own wife right, won’t it defeat the purpose of his righteous and kind personality?” Demian did not like Rezef at all. He might be annoyed that I told him that Rezef was like the hero of a story.“Rezef is like that, but he… He can be harsh, you know, without even meaning to. For example, he can’t show care and love even if he wants to. I have noticed this a lot of times. For example, when he used to want to meet me, he would
Rezef’s father died this morning. It had been sudden. The maids woke me up and told me about it. Apparently, he fell from the roof.“How did he fall from the roof?” I asked Rezef.“I don’t know. It happened in the middle of the night,” he said. He was hastily changing his attire.“Why didn’t you wake me up?”“For what? It’s not like you can bring him back.”I did not talk back. It was not good if I talked back. What if Rezef sent me back?Now that Rezef’s father was dead, Rezef was the new Head of House Thorn. The problem was that Rezef did not have an heir and according to the tradition, the new Head must already have an heir.What would happen now?Rezef had an older sister and a younger brother. It did not make sense that someone else other than him could be the new Head. Well, his older sister could not be the Head anyway. So, his younger brother remained. It was not like Byron had any heir either. He was only sixteen.“What will happen now?” I asked.“What do you mean?” Rezef sou
We went to the top floor today. The strange things Shea talked about last night turned out to be something that I knew very well. All those things in glass jars- big and small- I knew them a little too well. It was in a room that was accessible from my bed chamber only.There was a big table there, a cauldron, many pots, spoons- long and short, small and big- knives in various sizes.“You made me a… workplace,” I murmured. “Gosh, Demian, you made me a lab!”I threw myself at Demian and he caught me casually as if I weighted nothing. I wrapped my legs around him and laughed. I could not believe he did this for me.“That’s so… Gosh, I love it, Demian! I love it a lot! I love you!”“I had a feeling you might like it,” he said.“You really did thought of everything, didn’t you?”He put me down and kissed me on the forehead.“I wanted to build you a lab for a while now. But I thought it would be better if it was not at the estate, since… Father might start to blame you for everything, like
Demian came back two hours later. His hair was damp and he was wearing a black robe. Shea bowed to him and me and then left since it appeared Demian made it clear that when he and I were together, Shea or any other maid could not stay.“You did not tell me about her before,” I said. “That she can talk.”“It was a good surprise,” Demian said.“I don’t like surprises.”“I know,” he said. “Actually, I did not think it was that important for you to know earlier.”I decided not to press on the matter farther. I was having a hard time coming in terms with the fact that I had to stay in a tower on the top floor.I still could not believe Demian did such a thing. How could he?“The water is cold here all the time,” Demian said. “I suggest never to take a bath in the water just like it is. Tell the maids to warm it first.”“You used the cold water, didn’t you?” Demian preferred cold water over warm or normal temperature water. In fact, I once found him soaking in an ice-cold water bath. There
We stayed on the first floor that night. Demian wanted to go up, but I refused to.There were only a handful of maids here. Five, if I was right. But there were a lot of guards. Most of them were Demian’s men who could keep an eye on you without you noticing them.Since I refused to move from the first floor, the guards brought a huge wooden tub for me that the maids filled with warm water. I took a bath in one of the other two rooms of the first floor. Demian went up to a proper bathroom since he always needed things to be perfect and orderly.In my opinion, he was a little psychotic about it. He nagged me a whole fifteen minutes to go and take a bath with him in a proper bathroom. When I refused, he refused to talk to me and went away.It was not my fault. I did not want to move with my sore back, hips and legs. I could barely move my legs. My legs trembled as if they were having a seizure. They were trembling like I had given birth to a child (women’s legs trembled sometimes becaus
We arrived in one piece. However, we were not unharmed. Well, you could not see any bruises. But I had a hard time straightening and getting down the carriage because of my back and legs. Demian did not look like he was struggling, but he told me that his legs hurt.It took us eight days to reach our destination. Honestly, I was not shocked. I expected that it would take a while. Demian would not keep me somewhere where anyone could find me easily.But something else shocked me. I could not stop staring at where Demian was going to keep me.“Are you okay?” Demian asked.“What is this?” I asked.“This is where you will be. I will stay with you for a few days and come to see you often.”“Demian, this is… This is not a villa. You said you would take me to a vacation villa.”“I don’t see the issue here. So what if it’s not a villa?”“Demian, it’s a damn tower! You are keeping me in a tower?”“It has got all the facilities. It’s a nice tower.”I rolled my eyes. Demian took my hand and led
One thing I noticed about Sully was that she liked a good conversation. The conversation did not always have to have a meaning. If it was entertaining, she would engage in it eagerly.I always thought that conversations needed to hold a meaning, or it was not needed at all. In fact, I never had that kind of meaningless conversation with anyone in my whole life.But now, with Sully, I engaged in some silly conversations and did not get bored. On the other hand, I quite enjoyed it. It was not like me. I acted like a different person with her. She saw a piece of me that I never showed anyone before. It made me feel vulnerable. I did not hate it though. Perhaps it was alright to feel vulnerable in front of her. Perhaps it was okay to let her see the bare part of me.Just a while ago, we had a conversation about what we liked about each other’s physical appearance the most. Honestly, I liked everything about her. I liked her hair that she hated so much; I liked her round face, her thick th
Demian made sure that the content of the conversation between Rosalia and Theodore reached Alexander’s ears. As I had expected, Rosalia and Theodore talked about Rose and me.Today, Demian and I set out for our vacation. We were going by a carriage with as little people as we could since we did not want to draw attention. Demian did not want to sit with me inside the carriage. He wanted to ride a horse.I forced him to stay with me. He said that it felt stuffy and he hated the way the carriage bumped every time the wheels ran over a stone of if the road was bumpy.“I am not going to be the only one with sore hips and back,” I said.Demian cursed under his breath as the carriage bumped roughly once again.“This is the most ridiculous form of transportation,” Demian said. “You basically arrive at your destination with a sore body and it can even hurt your back so much that you will feel it for the rest of your life.”“At least, it takes you to your destination,” I said. “That’s enough.
