Over the last few days, Ludwig had started collecting things that he thought he would gift her. There was an armoire full of dresses that would look suitable on her. There were lingerie too, especially red in color. He couldn’t help when his imagination ran wild. He had placed all the jewelry he had collected from her in the vintage shop in the armoire along with the dresses. Every night he would gaze at his growing collection for Penny.
“Where’s my satchel?” Penny asked, moving further away from him out of embarrassment. But since she was already pressed to the door, she stood on her toes and sucked her air in to put as much distance as possible.
Penny walked towards the garden to watch the blossoms sway freely in the wind and she became jealous of them. When she was ready, she remembered that he had talked about an adjacent room. She walked to the door of the room that was closed. Books… It was time to check out the books he kept, but she didn’t even know how to read well. She had dropped out of the school when she was eleven, just after her first grade. Her parents didn’t have enough money to pursue her education. Her mother said that she would homeschool her, but even that never happened.
She walked to the couch and sat over there, glaring at him with anger.Ludwig couldn’t comprehend her. Why wasn’t this mortal scared of him or scared of th
She looked up at him and the crayon in her hand fell. She got up seeing so much blood over him. “Ludwig, whatever happened to you?” Her voice was a mere whisper. He could feel pity and sympathy in her heart. “Why is there so much blood on you?” she asked as she stepped closer to him. There was blood on his torso. His breathing was ragged. The black shirt he was wearing was held by one button in the center and it was torn on the side. The crimson blood smudged his skin, but there was no visible wound, only a slight cut on his biceps.
Ludwig didn’t know why but jealousy flared inside his chest and raked at his heart. He never felt this kind of jealousy for Zoe but then she wasn’t interested in men, though men did love her. Her body, her curves, her beauty—everything was talk of the kingdom. When people talked about her, he used to smile, but when Penny talked about her would-be boyfriends, he couldn’t handle the rage that seethed in his chest. His eyes went to her lips and down to her cleavage.
“So you must be Penny!” said Tova. He came near her and took her hand in his. Lifting it to his lips, he kissed the back of her hand gently and said, “Enchanté!” with a warm look in his light brown eyes.
Tova had only heard about Ludwig’s obsession with a slave from his servants, and he couldn’t understand why he would tense so much over her. But after seeing her, he could feel why Ludwig was so fixed on her. She was beautiful and delicate and so much more feminine than the rest of the females in Renada. Ludwig’s mating senses had triggered and he really needed to be with Zoe, because if he were with her, then in all circumstances, he would like to injure her with his brute strength.
Ludwig went back to her neck, to the place where he would have loved to sink his fangs and nibbled her skin when suddenly he felt his penis rubbing her swollen clitoris. He found her pressing it against his erection and his muscles strained.
