He wondered if this was on purpose or her mind had truly blurred out by how dangerous this position was. Despite his instinct to bring his hands to her waist, he kept them curled into fists and burried into the bed."Donna." The tip of her nose nuzzled against his scales as she sniffed them in. He shut his eyes momentary trying to recollect himself from the struggle he had within him. The blossoming need, the igniting desire. No. He must remain the logical one here."Donna, you have to stop---ah"The sharp yanking of his hair backward stopped his words to a scratching halt, a groan that almost sounded like a moan slipping past his lips as something jolted in him.He gulped, staring up at her with brown eyes that glinted with shock and surprise, his breath shaky with the lust that shot through his veins, straining with promising scandal against every restraint he was desperately trying to put forward. What was she doing to him? The electric blue orbs that gazed down at him did not
Eli spring up halfway but Belladonna clung to him, her nails scratching against his back, digging into his flesh and drawing blood, her breath harsh against his ear, her chest raising and falling beneath him, her eyes partly closed and filled with lust. She had no control of herself.He had thought that her emotions had been merely heightened but the theory that they might have completely taken control over her was something that didn't cross his mind. Despite how much his own desire stood in the way, he knew he had to put a stop to this right now. His hands move to hers to pull them away from him, but her lips connected with his neck, savoring his flesh, sucking his skin and leaving a hickey behind to evident her brutality. He groaned, panting, feeling his bulge strain against his pants, as she pressed herself further against him. His fists that were resting at either sides of her, on the bed, buckled at the feeling that surged through him, making them fall back into the bed, but
"How dare you?" Her voice was a little breathy, as she staggered back from the door that Eli had just flung open and came in through before slamming it shut just as instantly. "You left me alone. I was withering away, I was dying."Eli's face scrunched up into a frown underneath his mask. Dying?"Look at me, I can barely stand." She accompanied her statement with a dramatic fall and he caught her just in time, laughter rumbling from his chest.She would certainly be mortified with the memory of this when she recovered. "Take me.""I will," came his reply without an ounce of hesitation."Now." She emphasized.He slipped a finger underneath her chin, his gaze holding hers."Listen to me. Do you remember that you said you wanted to get married first, and that will happen during the Red Moon when you will be crowned Queen." His fingers slipped from her chin to caress her cheek. "My Queen.""I don't want to wait anymore. Please, don't tell me that I have to wait.""You do not."Happines
Yes, he did. Who wouldn't love Kestra. She was like family. The only one who had been with him through his trying times, stood my him through it all. He loved her.But there were different types of love and for the one his Donna was asking him about, the answer was 'no'. What bothered him though wasn't the question but why she must have asked it. For everything there was a reason. So why?"Why did you ask?""You haven't answered me yet." She said with a click on her tongue against the roof of her mouth, although the glint in her eyes held no playfulness."No, I do not have romantic feelings for my right hand woman."She chuckled, casually checking through the wardrobe again. "You must be in love with saying too many words." "Do you find it disturbing, perhaps?"If he could have it his way, he would try to make sure everything about him was perfect to her, that there would be nothing about him that she would have a problem with. She shrugged. "I guess it has grown on me." She
Belladonna woke up to the sunlight seeping from the curtain and flashing warmly against her eyelids.Asides from feeling like the world had slipped away too fast and the time had most likely jumped, there was a slight banging in her head that she had to deal with. Her fingers ran through her hair, meeting it tangled though, she had to pull them out and pressed them against her creased forehead instead in a search for relief.Why did it feel like she was forgetting something?Just as that thought had crossed her mind, images folded her mind, she cringed as she remembered how she had acted intoxicated and how shameless every of her move had been.The knock on the door made her jump and with slightly stumbling steps from how weak she felt, she had answered the door. It was the new maid but she didn't really have anything to say it her. It was weird to see someone else attending to her that wasn't Raquel, she would have to check on her later today to see if she was getting better. In se
Honestly, at this point she felt her fear was groundless. If she were to get pregnant, Eli would certainly not turn against his own child but the thought of going against a promise she had made for herself for such a long time didn't go down well with her. It was a sought of control she had that she wasn't ready to lose. Nor take actions that might put her at risk of losing it."I'd rather not. It is too...""Too what?" He asked."Tempting." He chuckled, leaning in for a kiss. Her hand moved up instinctively, the keys jiggling by the sudden movement as she raised it inbetween them to create an obstruction."I also came to return your keys.""Keep it." He pulled her hands down, pulling her closer. "Just in case you need to ambush me again.""I won't."He chuckled. She expected him to pull away, maintain the sought of boundary that he usually would but it seemed something had changed in their relationship and he stayed put, moving her hand up his cheek to caress his cheek. The hard
Belladonna was the most puzzled. This conversation had gone astray."I don't." Why would Lady Kestra even think that?Her features relaxed into relief and a slow smile play at the corners of her lips. Lady Kestra seem to have different kinds of smiles, each fitting for each situation and somehow she seemed to always have the right smile on at every instance.Except that grin. That wide grin that always felt aching to even look at. It must be because of her perfect white set of teeth, maybe that was why she loved showing them off so much, because they were just so beautiful.With her gaze piercing down into hers though, Belladonna felt the need to stand her ground and make things clear. So she rose up to her feet, and took a couple of steps away from the chair. Her eyes skimmed over her sewing machine and she remembered briefly that she hadn't given out supplies for any order today. Ah. That reminded her of Raquel. She missed her so much. Despite her new maid's hardwork, she just
A week had passed by really fast. Belladonna had watched how the hallway were decorated, the golden statues moved, the chandeliers cleaned and fixed back. She had observed how Eli had been busy too and despite her wanting a chance to ask him about Lady Kestra's mission and if it had yielded any success, she had tried to be understanding but he had always found time to come to her, giving her reports of his day and how it had gone. During one of these chances, she had asked him about Lady Kestra's journey and his reply had been, "Not much success but she found more elixir for my random pain." Then he had added jokingly, although she didn't find it funny at all. "Seems I shall last till the Red Moon."It wasn't until that night that she remembered about the random attack Eli once had in the garden some time ago. Even as she was reminded of the memory, it still felt a little blur to her. This was starting to be concerning. The way she seemed to be forgetting things. Although, she was
