"Then take me right now."
I felt Hade froze in place. He opened his eyes to look at me. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed them again when no words came out.
I heard him clear his throat.
"Elizabeth, stop playing," he growled like a warning.
I shook my head. "I'm not."
Hade was about to say something when I sat up and positioned myself on his stomach. Without breaking any eye contact, I slowly raised my loose nightgown and took it off me. As I've told Hade, I don't wear anything underneath my nightgown when I sleep, so when I took it off, I was immediately naked in front of him.
I feel like melting under his stare. I suddenly wanted to hide, but the lust I see in Hade's eyes made me want to keep going. The moon shone brightly tonight, lighting up parts of my body that I've never let anyone see or touch before. Until now.
Hade swallowed. Hard.
I slowly leaned down to reach for hi

Eli My eyes woke up to the blinding light of sunshine coming from the bedroom's window. The sun is blaring its angry rays on me like an aggressive morning wake up call. I stretched my arms to change position when I felt something heavy on top of my back. I looked down and saw an arm hugging me from behind, tightly clutching on my belly. My mind was still trying to process everything, so my eyes traced the arm back to its original owner only to see the face of the man who just railed me the whole night until just a little before dawn. Flashes of last night instantly came flooding in my mind and my eyes got bigger, even so with the nakedness of the man beside me. Shoot. Now that I'm not horny anymore, all my inhibitions came running back to me and I could feel the heat rushing up to my cheeks. I froze in place as I felt Hade's arms move. He's waking up. I felt his lips made contact on my shoulder. "Good morning,

Hade Several soft knocks on the door woke Hade up. He's used to being waken up in the middle of the night since he started preparing to transition for his role to being a seatholder a year ago, so he somewhat became a light sleeper. He immediately glanced at the beauty sleeping on his arms, and after assuring Eli was not disturbed, he jumped out of bed to answer the door. "Lord Hade, apologies for waking you up. There are summons from the Council," it was Winston who immediately told him the concerns. Hade glanced back at the clock. It's past 4 am. "Alright, I'll come down in a minute." "Actually, my lord," Winston stopped him from closing the door. "The summons are not for you. It's for Miss Elizabeth." Hade instinctively stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard his wife's name. "From who?" "From a Mr. Simon Langston, Sir." Hade's face turned immediately grim. He glanced back at his wife who was still

Hade "What do you want, f*cker?" Hade could feel the distaste in his mouth as soon as he heard his brother cuss at him. He wanted to curse back at him, but he's here for a favor, so he does not want to start on the wrong foot. They were inside a coffee shop at the train station. Knowing his brother, he'd be spending his time waiting for the train to arrive in this exact spot of the coffee shop, just by the window, where he could easily see passengers scurrying off trying to bid their loved ones or chasing their train ride. Without any hesitations, Hade immediately sat down the vacant seat in front of his brother. He didn't even take his eyes off the window, it was like he had memorized Hade's presence by instinct because he hate him so much that now he does not need to look anymore to know that it's him. But Hade's not here to pick a fight. "I'm here to ask a favo

Eli I kept my head down the entire time Hade was talking. My head was still spinning over the fact that he and Noah are brothers. "Eli..." Hade's voice trailed. I was lost in my own thoughts that I didn't realize Hade has finished talking. I raised my head and met his scared eyes. "What was the deal?" I asked. "What?" Hade asked back. "You made a deal with Noah over me. What was it?" I saw Hade close his eyes before he opened his mouth to speak. "He told me he'll watch over you if I agree to stay away from you forever. And I told him he's not allowed to fall in love with you." I tilted my head. I can't believe I'm hearing this right now. "I feel so pathetic right now." "Eli—" Hade tried to reach for my arms, but I yanked his hand away and got up. "Do you have— any idea," I paused, giving

Eli The sunlight hitting my face awoke me from my slumber. My eyelids felt so heavy I was tempted to go back to sleep. Memories of last night flooded my brain and I was instantly horny. Damn. Hade did not stop until we were both breathing hard from exhaustion and only let go of my body after dawn break. He was a monster, no doubt. I yawned while my hand automatically reached out to feel Hade's body. But only the pillows were there to catch my longing arms. My eyes instantly shot open and saw the empty side of the bed where Hade laid last night. My mood instantly soured. I sighed. What's new, right? I lazily got up and scooped the blanket to cover my body. I did not bother calling for anyone anymore, I think I can take a bath on my own just fine. After I was done, I went out of the bathroom and found the bed neatly made. There's a sage green dress on top of it as well. It has long sleeve

Hade The midnight moon shone brightly as it touched his wife's face. She looked so serene as she slept beside him. As if she did not just cry her heart out to him before she fell asleep. It was too much for her. That's why he ponded on telling her knowing it will hurt her so much. He just didn't expect she would know this soon. But what shook him the most is how she reacted. He totally thought she'd throw a fit, or probably not talk to him for a long time. But he'd do everything to win her feelings again, anyway. But Eli didn't do any of those. Instead, she cried in his arms as hard as she could. He didn't dare let go of her, not even for a second. He held unto her like she was his only lifeline. He whispered comfort and loving words unto his wife's ear all night. He wanted to take her pain away, but he couldn't do anything but promise her he'll do everything to make it a little bit better. It took a while befor

Eli I heard Hade screaming my name in pure terror as I was walking up the stairs to our bedroom. Adrenaline rushed up to my brain and I immediately ran upstairs. I was about to grab the door's handle when it opened and revealed a terrified Hade. "What happened—" I wasn't able to finish my question as I felt my body crash unto Hade's. His embrace was so tight I could feel his fear vibrating from his skin. His heart was beating abnormally fast as well. I let him hug me as long as he needed. When he finally calmed down, I untangled our bodies and faced him. "What happened?" Hade put his hand on his forehead as if the fear he felt just now made him dizzy. "I thought I saw you ju—" Hade immediately stopped his sentence and his face was replaced with an unexplainable expression, like he just thought of something. "Stay here, Eli. Don't go inside the room." My face contorted with confusion as I stared at him rushing do
Sand Castle THIRTY FIVE
Hade Yula looked like she lost weight. It's been six months since the wedding, and she always looked like she was a deathbed patient. Sometimes, he could even hear her struggling to breathe. She looked like she's always exhausted and sleep deprived. Hade thought it was just her being homesick, so he would tell her to visit her family as often as she likes. She'd go home three times a week, but even that didn't seem to help. There was nothing romantically going on between them. Hade is very much aware of how his feelings are just reserved for her sister and no one else. He is not sure who Yula is in love with, or if there is even a person she likes, but he knows that Yula also does not see him romantically. She's not even trying to be wife-like to him. But they're very good friends. So he can't help but get worried. He tried everything he could to comfort her and though she might n
