Ludwig placed her on the soft mattress and then kneeled beside her on the floor. “I am so sorry, Penny,” he said as he stroked her hair. She was looking so pale that he thought she would faint. He removed her shoes and loosened the buttons of her pants. He got up from his place to get a glass of water for her. Penny gulped it all in one go. Once she settled back on the pillow, he tucked her with the blanket. He was so angry at what happened that he wanted to go and find Zoe on his own, and then kill her with his hands. “Calm down,” he said sensing her fear, her terror and her restlessness.
“She wanted to kill me using her sorcery…”
“I’ll kill her for that,” he muttered. “But calm down Penny!” he said, as his instinct to protect her, to comfort her nearly overrode his need to ki
There was blood splattered everywhere—against the truck, against the floor, against the door of the truck, its seat and then on the floor of the brothel. It flowed in narrow rivulets and pooled beneath her or in the grooves of the floor. Penny opened her bruised eyes and through her blurred vision saw Maxim standing over her, gazing her greedily. The place stank of blood and puke and wet ground. After dealing with Paul, Maxim had asked his men to pick her up. A giant man scooped her off the ground in that state and hauled her over his shoulder. She was too weak to resist. Her hands were tied in the front and so were her feet. “No…” she whimpered as she looked at Paul for one last time. A woman in a pink shirt with daisies all over, caught her gaze. She walked and stood right next to Paul. Penny tried her best to lift her head higher to see who she was. The man who had hauled her on his shoulders gave a slap on her buttocks and
Penny would have never imagined what it was to be on a beach. Ludwig took her on a secluded beach in the south of France. The lovely beach located on the French Riviera was an exclusive little cove not much frequented by the locals. And that is what Ludwig wanted—complete privacy. In fact he had rented all the lodges and little villas over there for the next few days so that no one could get the bookings done during the time he spent with his wife, so that no one else sees his skimpily clad little mortal other than him. He had bought a large number of bikinis and beachwear for her, each more ludicrous and skimpier than the first.When they reached the villa they were staying at, Penny wondered as to where that extra large suitcase had come from. She was aghast at the sheer number of bikinis it had. “Why do I need so many of these?” she asked as she pressed her hand to her chest.&nbs
Penny’s brain stuttered. For a moment she couldn’t believe who she was seeing. She stared at the girl in front of her who was wearing black cut-offs and pink shirt. She was laughing at the assistant who was pouring wine in a glass. “Gosh, I would love to see that wine pouring on that thing you are hiding inside.” She pointed at his pants. The assistant said something to her in French, which Penny didn’t understand. She continued to stare at Kate.“What is it Penny?” asked Ludwig, as he followed her gaze and then saw the girl who was giggling uselessly and passing lewd comments. He could feel that her heart rate had increased and it made him uneasy. “Calm down girl,” he said as he curled his hand around her shoulders.Suddenly Kate looked up at Penny and she stilled. Her face blanched as if she ha
For a moment Kate’s mind stuttered at Ludwig’s questions, but if she didn’t make up a story, she was sure that things would spiral down pretty sharply. “That’s because we pleaded with the police a lot, but no one was interested in coming with us. We even gave them the clue that you were over there, but they didn’t come with us.”“You liar!” Penny growled. She was about to lunge at Kate, when Ludwig held her tightly at her waist and prevented her from doing so. Although he was seething from the inside, on the outside he appeared calm as a night sky just before the storm.He swirled the wine in his glass and in a very cold voice said, “In that case now that you have met her after such a long time, I didn’t particularly see you welcoming. How so?” He pressed the glass to his lips.
Penny’s anger was uncontrollable. Her face contorted and she was red. While coming back to the villa, not even once had she stopped and had bicycled hard to stay in front of him or away from him. She didn’t want to talk to him, she didn’t want to see his face and all she felt like now was to slap him hard. When they reached the villa, she threw her bicycle on the pavement and strode inside.“Penny!” Ludwig called her from behind. “Stop. Listen to me!”But she didn’t stop and rushed to the bedroom. She banged the doors close behind her, hoping that he would get the hint and doesn’t come in or she would simply burst at him. She went and stood in front of the bed. In order to vent her frustration out, she screamed out loud.Ludwig blasted ope
Kate gripped Penny’s upper arm again and pulled her along savagely towards the forests. They continued to walk till they reached a thicket of trees, and Kate shoved her to the ground. Penny stumbled forward and fell. She regained her balance and then looked at them. Her breath became ragged when she saw her holding the knife.She tried to reason it with them, “This is a bad idea. Look, just leave me and I will never ever come in your way. Ludwig is my husband. If he will come to know what you’ve done, he is going to hunt you down and kill you. In fact he already knows who you two are. So trust me, you won’t find a place on this earth, if he comes to know what you have done.”Kate’s eyes widened. “You are such trash. You dare to speak lies to us. Who the hell is going to marry a whore like you?” Kate la
Ludwig brought his shaky fingers to touch her skin. He stroked her back gently as if trying to believe what his eyes saw. Penny had healed completely. There wasn’t even the slightest line of the scar over there. Thankfully the knife was small and had stuck in her flesh. The doctor in emergency had torn her shirt from the back and sewed the wound with two stitches.Magic of the Necklace of Dorza had started working. Ludwig was stunned. “Penny, you have healed. There’s no scar here.”Penny stilled. How could this be? She whipped her head to see Ludwig who was still gazing at her back. On instinct she took her hand to her back and felt the skin. It was pretty smooth. Then she looked at him with wide eyes.“We need to get out of the hospital now!” said Ludwig.
Zoe gritted her teeth as she remained away from him facing the window of the bedchamber of his cave. The room was as cold and gray as his soul was. They were lying on a stone bed, which had a soft mattress over it. His cold hands were beneath her shirt and she shivered. She closed her eyes and let him do what he wanted to, but she wouldn’t let him destroy her virginity. It had been almost a month ever since that incident and she had told Keplin about it.She didn’t speak when he went on to squish her breast, and then slowly took his fingers below her navel inside her white pajamas. He touched her folds over there and slowly started rubbing them. “I would love to feel the insides of you,” he said suggestively as he grazed her neck with his fangs.“You will, once you get the Necklace for me,” she replied in a voice
