Having exhausted the night, they laid to the bed and went to sleep in each other's arms. He held her from behind; his head on her shoulder and his hands caressing their child even long after she slept first, before he joined her. But, they didn't sleep the rest of the night away because in the wee hours of the morning, he woke her and began making slow sweet love to her. He moved inside her from behind, they moaned together. It was enchanting, so splendiferous that tears began falling from her eyes. Her teary cries can be heard from her moans that turned from sweet and pleasant, to shaky and heartbreaking. "Dany... dearling, stop..." He groaned, his hand which held her creamy thigh up as he moved slowly inside her tightened. "Please, don't le

As he asked, he came out of his chair and walked towards her. "Yes, it did. Thank you, Your Majesty." She outstretched her a glove-covered hand. He took the hand and kissed the back of her palm. "I'm glad." With all protocols observed, there was nothing more to say. Silence descended. Princess Kamara broke under the silence. The tears she has been holding filled her head, she lowered herself to her knees in front of him. "Princess, this is not necess—" "Thank you so much, thank you so so much, King Lucien." She cried, "Thank you for answering my desperate letter and coming to my rescue! I was s

The seers said that it's a miracle we are having a child now..." She caressed her belly lovingly.   The world tilted around Vetta. She wanted to rage at Danika for telling her a lie like that in an effort to save her own head, but suddenly, a lot of things were starting to make sense to her.   Why she never got pregnant for him for the past five years she's been his mistress even when she took fertility pills, only to get pregnant with Karandy's child after that one time... All those women were brought into the palace and slept with in the next year after their slavery... Why he was so happy when he found out about this child...   It suddenly made s

  1433 word(s) Published 277   Long after sunrise, Vetta laid on her bed staring out of her window. Her eyes were swollen and there's no strength left in her body.   She'd been crying all the way from Mombana back to Salem, all through the night. Danika's apologies had thrown her off guard. It was so unexpected. As unexpected as hearing her name from her lips.   She'd freaked out. Till now, there's no way to explain the way she felt in those moments, she'd done something that she'd never expected she'll do. Running away.   That unplanned, uncalculated, escape cause her to bruise her arm at the unceremonious fall she'd landed on. But, the pain was hardly felt.   With a soft sigh, she got up from the bed and walked towards the window. As she watched market men and women go about their daily activities and children playing around, Danika's words filled h

Let me drink this one while Maima m-makes you another one. Please, My King." Vetta has no idea what's inside that tea but she'll be damned before she let him drink it in front of her. Shaking her head, she walked towards him and took the tea from him. It's an insolence, to snatch what the King is holding without his permission, but that is not her thought at the moment. Taking the wooden cup, she stepped out of his reach. King Lucien does not understand Vetta's insolence. But, it didn't get past him that it's the first time Vetta is making such an insolent move with him. "Alright, you can take that one. I'll have Maima make me another one."
