JasperI barely caught a few hours of sleep before sending Celia away. It had been too hard to not drag her to bed and make her sweet moans reach my ears again.But I could see that she was still reeling from the effects of the last night. I did not want to be a barbarian and just tear her clothes whenever I saw her.Though, it was getting harder to stay away from her than I had thought. I had sent her away, not because she was looking at me with those hopeful eyes but because I wanted to get a grip on myself.There was a knock on the door while I lay tangled in the sheets. I groaned, not wanting to go back to the courtiers and their meetings.I hated politics and political discussions of how people would be unwaveringly loyal to the crown or the princes when the only thing they were loyal to was their own wretched self interests.Thus, I got up groggily from my bed and muttered, “What is it?”One of the servants slowly opened the door as I got up from my bed. He was shivering and did
JasperI shook my head as father left, leaving the courtiers clamoring for an audience with both my brothers.A few looked in my direction warily but I furrowed my eyebrows, indicating they would not be welcome. They saw my gaze and meekly turned around.I was not even sure if they had done it out of the forced respect they had to have for us or if they had some other things in mind, but I ignored them and simply straightened my back.If I had to really go and rule my supposed kingdom, I had to find my closest ally and train her soon.But, given the way we fought and bickered every now and then, I did not know how it would fare. Plus, taking her to her home, her territory might invoke all the buried emotions within her.And, maybe she will find that stupid lover of hers there.I was not sure what had given her a panic attack and if going back to her place would make her relive it again.While I was in a dilemma, a hand lightly touched my elbow. I looked behind to see my elder brother,
Celia As usual, the dark prince had let me throw a tantrum and not cared to come to my room to talk to me again. The way he had smirked and winked back in the washroom after I had become bold enough to touch him and taste him was too annoying. I had definitely heard his growls, seen the way his eyes darkened with desire, and the way he had thrust in my mouth, hard. I could still feel the taste of him on my lips. And yet, my dark prince was back to being cold and distant again. It was beginning to get on my nerves, the way he sometimes cared about me and when I absolutely needed to talk to him, he would just ignore me. My feelings for him were complicated though they always bordered on the extreme- either I felt the mad urge to kill him or to kiss him. And I did not want to feel the latter. Though he did not believe in the mate bond, I did and I did not want to be in relation with a person who did not even love me. He had made it very clear that he did not believe in love nor di
CeliaJasper’s gaze was locked on mine as I struggled to not twitch. His hand was not touching me and I had no idea what he was going to do. But my mind wanted him to touch me, wanted him to do everything that my nefarious mind was coming up with. The last task had left me reeling and the taste of failure was bad. I wanted to one up him without getting lost in the sensation of his touch, though that seemed a bit hard to me.His breath fanned my face and tickled the locks of my hair as he reached for the collar of my shirt. My heart began thumping wildly and I thought it would just combust and disappear into a million pieces as he gently pushed the collar away.Wait was he undressing me? A deep blush rose up my cheeks and my toes curled at the thought.Was it a lesson? A task again? Or did he really want to do whatever he had begun?I wanted to know the answer but I also did not want to find it. I feared that if it would be just a task in his eyes, I would be disappointed.Logic shou
CeliaJasper waited for a second or two more before he straightened his back and then leaned back a little.He stepped back a bit as I took lungfuls of air and calmed down my breathing.I felt both relieved and disgruntled by his action of stepping away. Jasper put even more distance between us and began,“So, now that we have that confusion cleared, let me get to the point.”I nodded, I could not get words out of my mouth either way.“I wish to go to the southern territory soon and I want you to give me the names of the top 2 alphas, their pack names, and whatever else you know about them.”I blinked at his abrupt change of behavior. How could he not be flustered with the way we had just been inches apart from kissing each other?Maybe, he had never even planned on kissing me and had just wanted to intimidate me, to just show how I was not ready to attend the ball because I still grew flustered.I had known Jasper for a month or so and despite our rocky start of an owner-slave ‘relat
Celia“So you want me?”He asked and I tried to hide the rosy blush that crept up my cheeks. I lowered my head but he immediately cupped my chin and brought my face up to hold his gaze.“Answer me, Celia”He spoke, his voice turning huskier and I saw a muscle in his jaw twitch.“I want to meet Ivan and you are the road to reach him so yes I do want you,” I said plastering a huge smile.I could lie if I tried hard, partially…maybe?“I thought you gave up on the idea after your failure…your rather abysmal failure. I think asking you to seduce me won’t work so how about flirting? Can you flirt?”He stated in a plain voice but it felt like an evaluation nonetheless. “I don’t give up easily” I spoke and tried not to shiver given our nearness. His hands were resting on my bare skin and had slid down a little when I had wriggled to get out of his hold, thinking of running away.“Sure, you can try again if you wish. Your time starts now.”Huh?Jasper said and began walking away from me. “W
Jasper I had come here to find an ally in her, I had decided after hearing her scream somebody else’s name in her sleep that I would not go near her, that I would keep my distance. But my little kitten had walked out of my bathroom wearing nothing other than my shirt. The last time I had seen her in my clothes or just my shirt, I had found it incredibly sexy and hot. That time I had barely restrained myself, knowing and judging by her reactions that either this was her first kiss or she was being kissed after a long time. There was something about seeing her in my shirt that turned me on like nothing else. I had decided to whisk her away and again probably make her cry but then I was stunned to see her in my shirt. Her long slender legs were bare as the shirt almost reached her mid thigh but Goddess she looked so damn beautiful. I mentally restrained myself hard, not wanting to show how much that sight affected me, and willed myself to not jump on her the moment she walked out o
CeliaI gave him a wicked smile as I held that small vial in my hand. While he had been lost in the heat rising up from our bodies, I had sneakily reached for the vial.I wore a satisfied smile on my face, grinning from ear to ear as I held the vial proudly in my hand. It held a bluish sheen to it and glimmered faintly as I hedl it.Jasper only kept looking at me, grinning back.Wait, why was he grinning?Something was not right.The way his eyes danced and a playful smile adorned his lips somehow made my smile crumble.I frowned a bit and furrowed my eyebrows.“Why are you smiling?”I asked him, feeling unable to help myself. “My lips, I can smile whenever I want”He responded and slowly reached for the vial.“Uh huh” Not so fast, your highness” I muttered, stretching my hand and holding it as far from him as possible.“Ok, task over, now give it back to me” He said but I shook my head.“No, first you have to agree that you are taking me to the ball with you. Just me”He cocked an ey
