The Wedding Night (4)
Alexander waited with bated breath, knowing this vixen could send him to heaven or hell.
He had never realized he had this much passion inside of him. That day when he made the bargain, he knew beforehand that he wanted her as his wife, he didn’t know what emotions he would awaken with that decision.
Alexander had spent the past few nights contemplating his feelings, analyzing them until he was sure he understood them completely. He was attracted to Edwina Knight, to her character and to her appearance. So he could say that he liked her.
He liked his clothes a certain way. He liked his high end whiskey. He liked fine pieces of art. Whatever he liked, he made sure to possess. Anything that caught his fancy was guaranteed to become a part of his collection.
Edwina was just another bauble.
She was slightly different from a beautiful piece of jewelry or sculpture, though. She was a living breathing person, and thus obtaining her would be trickier

Eddie didn’t wake up the next day until after the sun had risen. She was alone in the bed. For a moment she wondered if it was all a dream. If she had fallen asleep alone on the night of her wedding and dreamed of a caring and passionate Alex. It had to have been a dream. There was no way the Duke of Ice could be so caring and warm. No way the man stopped when she asked. Men only cared about their own pleasure. Pure fantasy, that’s what she dreamed. And what was wrong with her for dreaming something like that? Was she frustrated? How could she be sexually attracted to a corrupt monster like Claiborne? Annoyed with herself, Eddie thrust the sheets off her and tried to get up. She swung the bed covers to the side and attempted to stand, except her legs felt like jello. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at herself. Small love bites covered decorated her body and her private parts sticky. Her cheeks filled with heat. She hadn’t imagined last
The Villain's Obsession Day One (2)
After all the decadence she had experienced so far, the size of the closet shouldn’t have surprised Eddie, but it succeeded in taking the air from her lungs.The “closet” was double the size of her office in the palace. The room was stuffed to the brim with all different sorts of clothes, from evening gowns to riding wear, in an extensive array of different colors. Luckily, the closet was arranged by type of wear, otherwise, it would have taken her hours to get ready just to find something proper to wear.When she emerged from the closet dressed in a green dress with beautifully embroidered accents, Alex only smiled and gestured toward the door. Eddie walked swiftly past him chin held high.Alex placed his hand right in the curve of her back, her nerves reacted to his touch. She refused to look at him. He continued chuckling and opened their bedroom door to lead her to the rest of the estate.He guided her through his estate from the kit

Ignorant of her thoughts, Alex tucked a stray hair behind Eddie’s ear. She glared at him and he chuckled.“No, thank you?” He teased.Eddie bit her lip and looked past him. The room was perfect, something she had never known she wanted until she saw it. She could see it becoming her favorite place.“Thank you,” she whispered.Alex’s bright smile caused Eddie’s heart to do a little flip. It was unadulterated joy. He was happy and proud of his gift, his eyes sparkling.Was this genuine? Did he really want to please her?He ducked close and kissed Eddie on the cheek, “Your welcome.” He whispered in her ear before pulling away, his blue eyes twinkling.“I do have to work today, so you’ll have to spend the rest of the day by yourself. I’m sure you’ll find a way to keep yourself entertained,” he smirked.“If you need anything just call for a mai
The Villain's Obsession The Picnic (1)
“Would you like to go for a picnic with me this afternoon?” Alex asked.“A picnic?” Eddie was curled up in a comfy wingback chair in her library cubby. She spent every morning there, curled up with a book, a cup of tea, and shortbread cookies the butler brought her.“Yes, I thought I could have the chef prepare a basket for us and we could explore the estate? I know a perfect spot and the weather is lovely today,” Alex gestured toward the window, a sheepish look on his face.Eddie stared out the window. The sun was shining and the sky was pure robin’s egg blue. She squinted. She was an indoor creature by nature and always more of a night owl than an early bird. She wondered if she would shrivel to nothing if she went outside in the midafternoon sun. She glanced at Alex.He was fidgety and smiling. He seemed excited. His hand in his pockets one moment than running through his hair the next.Sighing, she nodd
The Villain's Obsession The Picnic (2)
Alex had laid a thick picnic blanket on the ground and spread out different snacks and bite-sized hordoeurves. He was pouring some sort of champagne when she wandered up. He was smiling but as soon as he looked up at her, his expression dropped. “Stop!” Eddie stopped in her tracks, “What? Was it?” “I took my eyes off of you for one second and you’re covered in dirt!” “Dirt?” Eddied looked herself over and blushed. Crouching near the creek had gotten mud all over her shoes and a little on the bottom of the skirts. Alex put down the champagne glass and shuffled over to her, “Don’t step on the blanket. Here put your hand on my shoulder and take off your shoes.” She leaned against and slipped out of her shoes. Putting one stocking on the blanket and following with the other. “Much better, here you can sit here.” Alex handed her a champagne glass and sat down unnecessarily close to her. She attempted to lean away, a little o

Alex leaned forward and kissed her softly, pulling back for a moment to gauge her reaction. Whatever he saw in her eyes satisfied him and he leaned in again and kissed her more passionately. Her pulse quickened and their breathing became ragged. The book slipped from her hands and she laced her fingers behind his neck.He wrapped his arms around her waist and together they fell onto the picnic blanket. Eddie’s brown curly hair was spread out on the ground, striking against the soft yellow blanket. They separated.“Beautiful,” he whispered. Eddie blushed and looked out at the woods.“We shouldn’t do this here,” she whispered.“No one’s here and no one’s going to head this way. I told all the servants we wanted privacy,”“Alex! They’ll think we’re doing inappropriate things!” She pounded on his chest.“Well, they’re not wrong,” He laughed. Edd
The Villain's Obsession The Visit (1)
Lily’s surprise visit surprised everyone except Eddie. The two had never been apart for more than a week since their academy days. The fact that she resisted storming over to the Claiborne estate for more than two weeks was a praiseworthy accomplishment.The servants scrambled to prepare the tea room, and the poor cooks rushed to prepare tea and snacks. Luckily, Eddie was easy to find. A maid informed her of the visit and Eddie dragged herself out of her secret study, as she was now fondly calling her reading nook.Eddie was delighted to see her friend. She needed advice. Ever since their picnic, Alex had become insatiable. He would find her multiple times throughout the day and kiss her senseless. More often than not, they didn’t stop at kissing. There wasn’t a single space in her secret study that escaped their charades. In the wingback chair, in front of the fireplace, right in front of the window, Alex took her wherever he pleased. Not that Eddie
The Villain's Obsession The Visit (2)
Edwina placed her teacup down with a clink. Her mood soured. She had been happy, anxious, and embarrassed discussing Alex, but the topic of Johannes filled her with disgust and shame.“What about him?” She asked, trying to keep her voice neutral.“The king of Arendal disowned him,” Lily couldn’t hide her excitement, “He’s no longer a prince. He’s been cast out of the royal family!”Lily laughed giddily. Lily hated Antonie. She knew all about Eddie’s affair. She wanted to enlist Thackery to beat Johannes back at the academy. Eddie stopped her. She didn’t want to cause an international incident over her love affair.“What?” Eddie exclaimed, “For what reason?” Johannes hadn’t been the brightest prince, but he never got into trouble at the academy.“No one knows,” Lily leaned in and whispered, “It’s all very hush-hush. I heard rumors
