"Cesar, I…""Don't," he cuts me off quickly. "I don't care about your lover from 'de another village. You're here, not there, and you're mine and not his. This is a land of no promises, noexceptions. You belong to me, Eliz'bella. Don't think about any other Man, End of story."I understand that, but I hate the way that he's put it. I fold my arms. "You make me sound like a piece of property, Cesar." I scold him. He turns and growls at me. "Don't you start with me," he hisses. He hands his goblet to me. "Go," he says dismissively. "Get me some more wine."Now I'm getting angry. "Haven't you had enough?"He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself."No, Eliz'bell…remember the deal? Abide by it, Should I suppose to beg you?, which I should not have to, for some more wine. I am the King."I narrow my eyes at him before sighing in surrender and taking the goblet out of my room and down to the kitchen. How could such a tender moment turn into an angry one? Why does he care ab
I saw a Clay made glass on the floor, in whom They drink wine, it seem thick enough to put senses in his brain. I hold four of them and hide behind the throne stairs. My aim was always good.I throw it to that man. it hits his head and breaks into pieces but his head started to bleed. He let go of that woman. She finally took a breath of relief." Who did that? Who dare to throw it to me? " he looked here and there madly but I was completely hiding from his eyes.Another man picked that girl from her hair and I throw another glass in his direction same spot and he starts bleeding too.They all were looking above the sky and saying" God is angry! God is angry "I took advantage of the situation and throw the other two glasses as well near Bonefire!They left that girl and stood away from her. I moved closer and support her to get up. Nobody dares to touch me! I help her getting up " Go back to harem and rest "She hugged me and walk toward her harem, Her walking was painful, I feel s
✿Elizabella✿Out of the corner of my eye, I see his Cousin " Red Fox " staring at me with an evil look on his face. I become uncomfortable, but I'm so close to getting him off of his seat that I don't stop dancing. I try to focus on luring Cesar out, but Red Fox's devilish eyes burn into my skin, and I can suddenly feel how much he wants me, and how much he's willing to take me. Cesar notices the distress on my face and glances to the left, where his Cousin stands, admiring my body from afar.He shoots up from where he sits and scowls at Red Fox, who doesn't notice him until he grabs me by the arms and whisks me off into the crowds. People are quickly noticing Cesar's movement from the throne to me, and I can tell they're surprised. He leans over and whispers into my ear. "I don't like 'de way he looks at you," he says to me. I shake my head quickly. "I don't either. Do you think I like being stared at like I'm a piece of meat? I thought your brother hated me but now your Cousin also
Tvirl," he mispronounces the word.I giggle and correct him. "No, no, no. T-wi-rl." I sound it out for him. By the way, I'm acting, I feel as if I've had too manywines before I came out to dance. While I had filled Cesar's goblet up with wine in the kitchen, I decided to experiment myself.And I had found that wine was very good and that I had been missing out on a lot by disliking the bitter taste. But my taste buds had developed, and I was grateful for that."You 'de one teachin' how to say words, hmm?" he asks me, his eyebrows raised. "'Dat how it works now, little one?"My foot catches on a rock and I go spiraling into the dark. But he catches me before I hit the ground, spinning me ontomy back so that I'm facing him. My lips are millimeters away from his and I can feel the attraction like a magnet, pullingus together. But yet again, we don't kiss. The sound of Red Fox's voice makes me jump. I stand back up. "Havin' fun wit' your whore, little Cousin?" he asks. I scowl at him,
I cried because I was hurt by his action. I hate how he throws me and calls Athenodora. He could simply be gentle with me. He told me that if I ran off to the harem, I would be punished. He did not tell me how I would be punished, but I was not prepared to find out.I was crying and sitting in the dark with lost hope and a broken heart. The sound of crickets, owls, and night frogs is the only thing I hear. I lean against the wooden door, my legs hugged to my chest and my hair covering the sides of my face. I feel tired, but my mind is alert.And then I hear it; a drunken laugh, and a pair of stumbling feet down the hallway. I stand and press my back against the door. The torches in the hallway light the way a little bit, well enough for me to see the figure of a barbarian man emerge.My heart pounds. "Karuna," I hear him say. I've been around long enough to know what I'm being called, and that karuna means 'whore.' I'm suddenly very afraid. This man is not Cesar, and he will most cert
" Do it one more time?" He said" No Price, my my my heart is about to burst " He smirks clean his lips with his thumb and stood away from me, drinking his wine"Your wine is tastier than this wine, Go and get yourself clean, I will arrange a dress for you, but remember one thing what is happening here should stay between these walls "I nodded and ran inside his bathroom. He did an unspeakable thing to me. how can he touch me there with his mouth? Isn't it suppose to be a dirty place?I was completely lost in thoughts in the bathtub when he opened the door, I covered my chest with my Arms.He laughed so loud that it must have gone out of his room. Then he throws a dress on the side of the bathtub." Come out in 5 minutes, I am hungry and you will feed me today "I went out of the bathtub in a rush with wet hair. I looked at the dress he give me. it was longer than my knees and very covering too, in Maroon color with a big belt-like strap on the waist which has a beautiful jewel of b
"Kiss me," he cuts me off abruptly, his eyes staring deeply into mine. "I protected you. I defended your honor. You should kiss me"It was all true. I'd only ever kissed a man on my will once, and that was with young Lord Cordell, and it was merely a peck on the lips before I ran away with glee. If you slide that part when he forcefully kissed me many times!"And…this would be your reward for saving your lady?" I question softly.He smiles and hugs me closer to his body. "So you know you are mine," he says warmly. "I like 'dat. A lot." His big handslides slowly over my nightgown, touching my back and my neck, spreading warmth down my spine.His fingers curl around my neck and gently pull me forward. I'm scared, but I'm ready. I've been fortunate enough not tobed him for a while, and kissing me has most likely been on his number one checklist spot for a while now. When my lips touch Cesar's, I feel the warmth, the passion, and the lust bleeding out of him and into me. As he presses
"Very well. I shall tell you of my family." He lights his pipe with a match and slips it between his lips. I sat down on the floor in front of him, draw my knees to my chest and rest my chin atop them. "I had three other siblings. Iron Coyote, then my twin sisters Gentle Raven and Snow Lion. I am the youngest."I listen to him intently, my head cocked to the side with interest. "I did not know of your sisters."He leans against the armrest of the chair. " Snow Lion, or as we call her by her Commoner's name Mairwen, is married off to the one you know as Three Horses. They have a family and White Lion is under his name now. Gentle Raven, Lavanya, died when I was five, and she was 7. I s'pose it was some kind of common illness gone rogue."I bite my lip and lower my head a little. "I'm sorry."He shrugs. "My mother died the same way when I was nine, my only other sister Snow Lion was eleven, and Iron Coyote, Edmund was twelve. That was thirteen years ago. My father didn't raise us. We w
“Who? Me? You can't hold me against my will Mr. Edwards. I have rights and people will be looking for me. Besides, I'm not the one with glowing eyes.” She accused.“Yes you do have rights.” Lucas took Elsa's hand and turned to leave giving Jason a private look as he left.Jason read his meaning, the girl was his.“where are you going? Lucas, Elsa….I'm talking to you!” she yelled as Lucas shut the door.“Are you going to hurt her?”“No, Elsa, there are other ways.” He nearly took her life when she had brought information of Elsa, but he'd since changed his mind, “She is no threat to us.” He led her to his door, opened it, and allowed her to enter first. Elsa noticed that the room looked as though nothing had happened only a few hours ago. The table and chairs by the fire were gone, obviously broken. She shuddered at the images of the fight. She turned and faced Lucas, “Will that…that is…” She didn't know exactly what to call him.“Jack.”“Yes.” She involuntary touched her neck where h
Ted caught up with her halfway down the hall. “Why don't you believe at least one of us?”She stopped and turned to him, “Because Tanya's story is full of holes. She never wanted Elsa near Lucas in the first place. She tried her best to sabotage that date they had the other night and she treated her like crap. Now she has made up this ridiculous story to make him look like a freak. He is a respected, honest businessman and no one has been able to discredit him, professionally or otherwise.” Linda shook her angrily, “She must think we're stupid enough to believe this crazy story or she would have never told us about it.”“You should always believe your friends. Think of how frightened she was of him and how frightened I was when I saw him last night.”“Of course you were. He's quite intimidating, being so wealthy and all. And you did trick his girlfriend into going out with you. I'm sure you would be fit to kill if someone did that to you. Also, Tanya is a good actress.”“What about
“Natie.” Elsa said in greeting, not knowing what else to say. Despite the woman being a brunette, her short cropped hair had blond and auburn streaks throughout. To Elsa, it actually looked pretty good. She was a heavy set woman and when she smiled dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth making her look undeniably cute and trustworthy. “And this is Melody,” she placed her hand on the other woman's shoulder, “She is an expert in fashion.”“Melody.” Elsa greeted still gaping . Melody was a tall, lovely, thin woman, who was evidently no stranger to fashion. There wasn't a wrinkle on her tan slacks, white embroidered blouse, and multicolored scarf that she wore loosely around her neck and draped over her left shoulder and chest.“It's nice to meet you Miss Collins.” She stated genuinely. She turned back to Elsa, “I know they seem like normal staff here on the estate, but Mr. Edwards does not hire simple staff. We all are highly educated.” She reached up and tipped Elsa's mouth
Bob Mathews had been a truck driver for twenty three years. He hadn't a wife or kids, so his job was his life. He had tried the wife thing once, but like everything else in his life, it didn't pan out. The only thing that he stayed with him through his fifty six years, had been his love for the big trucks and the lonely roads. He was definitely a shallow man, who had seen too many bar fights and women who found men that drove the big rigs appealing, but they weren't the kind of women you'd bring home to your ma. He tucked a cigarette in his mouth as his right hand searched for his lighter on the seat. He was singing, rather badly, to an old Willie Nelson tune as he watched the road ahead. A light drizzle made him turn on the wipers. His hand was still searching for his lighter, and out of frustration, he took his eyes off the road and glanced down. He quickly found it and flicked it, causing an eerie glow inside the cab. He released the little red tab causing the flame to extinguish,
Dreadful realization hit her as his words sunk in. He thought she was worthless compared to his mortal pet! She turned and slammed her fists against the wall. He couldn't do this to her. He told her he still cared about her. She could try and make him love her again. No, that was impossible, she saw the way he looked at that woman in his bed. She never thought she could witness that kind of emotion from him. Her features began to change in her turmoil. He didn’t mean it, he was angry, her mind tried to reason and she would prove it, “I could kill her.” Her words had the opposite effect.His eyes flashed instant fury, “Not if you value your life Celeste!” his voice reflected the incredible power he held. Her face registered alarm and she crouched in front of him at his threat, “Could you kill me Lucas?” she hissed through her teeth. “Is she worth it?”He didn't hesitate, “Yes!”“Over here! Over a mortal!”“Yes!” he roared.“You are a fool Lucas, she is mortal!”“Not for much longer, y
She'd never felt such joy at the feeling of his flesh fully against hers. His firm body pressed her into the mattress and she relished the protection of his weight. She could feel his hand down her leg and gently, pulled it up against his waist as he settled between her thighs. His hand then circled down and cupped her bottom, causing her to lift her hips against him. She struggled to catch her breath against the electrifying feeling his hands did to her skin. She needed something from him that she couldn't say or know. He'd awakened an immeasurable desire in her and every inch of her being flared with tingling heat. She gasped loudly as he entered her. He covered her mouth with his bringing her back to their ecstasy. She moaned against him and he began to move within her. She expected pain, but there was none. The feeling was electrifying and it created a hunger in her. She wanted more. She moved underneath him in time with his thrusts. Lucas loved the chase; it was almost his fav
She put her fingertips on his lips, “Then let me stay and maybe something will change on how we feel, and that this is just mere infatuation. Or maybe it will just reinforce how we feel for each other and this is real. Either way, I have to know.”She had a valid point. He knew this was real, because this was new to him and he'd been infatuated many times. This wasn't just infatuation, “I have a dark side Elsa.”“We all do.” “You may not like what you see.”“Impossible.” She breathed.He groaned and for the second time kissed her. She had won.Ted lay in his bed staring wide awake at the blanched plaster ceiling of his dorm room. He was pissed off at Linda for laying the blame at his door about Brad. He fumed about it for the last two hours before he rolled over and succumbed to a restless sleep.When Emily returned to her apartment, she noticed the door had been pried. Without thinking someone could still be in her apartment, she pushed open the door and walked in. She turned on t
Her eyes narrowed, “I have had enough of your insensitivity. It's no wonder Elsa doesn't fall for you. You are rude, sarcastic, and a liar.”He glared back at her, “What is it with you? Why can't you just leave me alone? I have tried to tell you that I'm not interested in you, but you just can't take the hint! You're like that cat that came back. Take a hint! You are a spoiled rich daddy's the girl who cries if she can't get what she wants and you treat your friends like dirt.”Her mouth fell, “Oh! Really! At least my friends have a higher I.Q. then a rock,” She was referring to Dirk by a thrust of her thumb over her shoulder at the door of Deter's, “and I'm not the one who tricks naïve girls into your little love schemes…” He was about to protest, but she refused to let him interrupt, “Give me some credit, how obvious was that with Elsa? At least I'm honest and upfront about the things I want!”He grew angry and seized her by the arms. The only time he ever laid his hands on a woma
“but Lucas, to anyone else it looked…”“…You forget, I'm not everyone else.”She looked at him, “You make this too easy.”“It should be.”She buried her face in her hands and sighed, “See, I don't know how you know all that and all the other things I feel. I've never felt like this before and you're so sure about yourself and how you feel,” She looked at him, “I just don't know how to deal with this.”“There is no need to be afraid.” He pulled her closer to him and left his arms around her, “just go with it. “ he nuzzled the top of her head with his nose, closing his eyes at her exhilarating scent, “And I've never felt this way before either.”She pulled back and looked at him her eyes wide with wonder, “really?”He smiled, in all of her wide-eyed innocence she was very breathtaking. “Really? You don't have to worry. It will take care of itself. ” His hand came up and stroked her soft cheek as she laid his head against his arm.“I hope so.” She murmured.He leaned down and kissed the
