Awake

Chapter 41On the evening of the fourth day, Nancy stirred from her unconsciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust it to the blinding light in the room, but the light was too much so she shut her eyes immediately. And then she heard the faint voices of people around her. And then she tried to move, to tell them how much her throat burned with dryness but the sharp pain in her neck had her lying back. She tried again, but that was when she realized that she was lying on her stomach, and surely that was odd. In the next instant she realized that her entire body was stiff, especially her back which felt like it was on fire.Pain swamped her, and she hissed out her breath, trying hard to breath slowly without gasping. She heard the room go still for an instant before someone ran to her side, and then another person followed. She heard them gasp in relief and felt someone take her hand. She couldn't even feel the touch, it almost felt like her entire body had shut down. Na

A welcome dinner

Chapter 42A good number of people were delighted that Nancy was awake, she learnt that the next day when Derek's parents pulled up in front of the house. It was like a welcome ceremony for her, a big dinner to be held that evening in the big hall. The same hall she had been prohibited from entering earlier, the same hall where she had almost been gang raped by those three men who had the time had only cared about the bear in their hands and the hard on between their legs. Nancy was not very happy with the big reception held for her, she was even surprised that they had gone through the trouble to come and see her. Left for her, she would have preferred to lie down and sleep the rest of the day away since her strength was still itchy from all that inactivity of her lungs and organs. But she couldn't reject the invitation when Derek showed up in the room that evening to inform her of the impending dinner in her honor. The way he said it told her there was no room for argument and that

To desire your wife

Chapter 43Much to Nancy's dismay that evening, each of the members of the Lincoln's family pulled up at the house in coach. The first coach carried the elders; Douglas and Marylyn Lincoln. The second coach carried Daniel Lincoln, his wife, Lucille Lincoln and their daughter, Kylie. They all trooped into the dinning, early as usual. Each one taking a moment to observe the interior of the house since it was their first time there, except for Daniel and his wife of course.Derek was already dressed by the time his parents arrived but his wife wasn't. She had spent the thirty minutes he had given her sulking, he knew she was doing it deliberately just to delay her appearance at the table so he ignored her completely, taking the time to adorn himself to his satisfaction. His own mood had improved greatly since she woke up from her coma, and he intended to keep it that way. Trying as much as possible to avoid any deep altercation with Nancy."We will all be waiting for you downstairs, Coff

In that moment, it didn't matter

Chapter 44The urgency with which Derek opened the door had Nancy jumping to her feet. She was afraid that something had happened and at the same time angry that she was not yet asleep, she was also mad at herself for staying up to this moment thinking about Derek and when she turned to the door to enquire what was wrong, it was to find Derek there, shutting the door tightly like he was running from something. Now she was really alarmed, what was wrong? And why was he shutting them in? She waited for him to say something, to do something. But he said nothing, just stood there staring at her with dark stormy eyes that told her nothing either"Well…?" He still said nothing, but this time he advanced towards her slowly, too slow for her liking. His steps were not faltered, but all the time he kept his eyes trained on her, watching her with those eyes that unnerved her. "Derek, is something wrong?" It seemed like he had lost his tongue, or his usual hostile or humorous self because he

Midnight Sun

Chapter 45The first thrust was a force that had her grabbing the sheets even tighter, he paused after that first thrust and hugged her from behind, with him still inside her. Nancy could feel him, she could feel his whole length stretching her insides, urging her to open up to him, to let herself go. But at the same time, the pleasure was dulling her senses, she could barely keep her eyes open, even her legs were too weak to carry. If Derek was not holding her, she was sure she would have fallen a long time ago, but he was steadying her with his hands and his large form that covered her as she bent there. At the same time, his other hand was snaking to her breast, playing with it, he was fondling her nipples in a way that she felt like she would drop dead with sheer pleasure.Derek leaned against, licked her neck down to her ear and let his mouth remain there. He had noticed how she shuddered each time his mouth found her ears, it made him even harder than he was. Nancy could almost f

So much for a new beginning

Chapter 46A chill wind coming in through the balcony door woke Nancy that morning, she shivered and quickly tucked her cold bare feet under the thick bed sheets. She tried to sleep again but the chill wind blew in again, she was still drowsy and hoping for some help, she reluctantly turned on the bed to see if Derek was still there, he was not in bed and neither was he in the room . He must have left the balcony door open on his way out, Nancy thought as she walked over to close the door, then she fell on the bed and went back to sleep. As she lay there tucked in a ball for warmth, the door opened and Nancy looked up. Derek stood there holding a large tray of food, then kicked the door shut with his legs and put the tray down on the table."What do you have against a little fresh hair, Coffee?" he asked sourly, not looking at her but at the balcony door, he went over and threw it open."And what do you have against a little warmth?" she returned fippantly. "It's morning and the air is

An Intrusion

Chapter 47It took Nancy a week to wait for Derek to see reasons with her and change his mind about not letting her have her way concerning what she wanted to do. But she waited that long mostly because she wanted to heal totally, from the wound and to make up for the days she had spent away from Victory, who wouldn't let her out of it's sight now without trailing after her. The house was getting filled without activities again as the day went by and since Derek was always there to direct the servants on what to do, Nancy saw him daily now, in the mornings when he went for his customary ride, which Nancy found out was a tradition for him and most days in the afternoon too. But some nights he spent away from her, either avoiding her intentionally or busying himself with his book of accounts.Each time he returned to her after a night spent away, he would turn the sweaty stallion over to her to feed and clean. He had also taken it upon himself to make sure she took care of his horse, h

An Informant

Chapter 48Derek sat alone at the long table, finishing a very nice stew and brooding on his solitude. Victory lay at his feet, her soft cry distracting and her low scratches on the cold floor occasionally distracting Derek. And reminding him too that Victory was patiently waiting l for a scrap of meat. The car had grown a bit accustomed and familiar with him after that night he had fed her, and though he hated to admit it, he found his new acquaintance comforting and he saw it as another milestone in getting closer to his unwilling and stubborn wife. Derek wondered how she would feel when she found out that her precious baby Victory was now finding comfort in her enemy's company, the thought harnessed a chuckle from Derek.Most times he enjoyed the peaceful quiet, but at other times like now, he almost wished he had remained at his parents' home instead of moving to this cold, empty house. He missed the warmth of his family, of good talk and companionship. He did not even have Harvey

An escape for him and a trap for her.

Chapter 49He changed his mind about sleeping alone in his room that night and decided to join her in their bedroom. Nancy was surprised to see him come in fifteen minutes after she had put Victory to sleep beside the bed and was struggling to find sleep herself, she did not try to hide that surprise. Derek had no plans to say anything to her though, he just walked to his side of the bed and lay down there facing the ceiling. There was a lot to bother him and yet nothing to think about, he had decided long ago that he was going to go back with Carl. If anything, to keep him busy, being a warrior was something he enjoyed doing, fighting to save his life and his people and it was something he had trained himself to do very well, which was why he was in charge of his men, a battalion. The SmithVile and Ludaville were people he knew respectively in past times. Seeing them at loggerheads was not something new but seeing the fight escalate to a point of war and bloodshed. Naturally, Derek

Think Of The Devil And He Appears

When Dreams Are Made 50That morning, Nancy woke up unusually early to prepare for the day ahead, Derek was still sleeping soundly by the time she finished taking an early morning bath, not even arousing the maids to help her. She quietly slipped out of the bedroom and tiptoed into the parlor, making sure not to stumble on anybody on the way. She quietly opened the back door and slipped out into the cold morning, the dews were still fresh on the leaves and the livestocks in the yard were just waking up as well, daylight was just making it's way in to talk over the night.She braided her hair as she walked up the path that led to the stable, then entered to find Phil busy with the horses, he was particularly combing the mane of a white stallion. When he heard her come in and looked up to see that it was indeed her, he spared her a minute to say over his shoulders;"I was beginning to think you have lost interest in working in the stable, My Lady" he said as she approached him."Certain
