Lillith pushed past one of the guards standing by the door leading to the dungeon. She didn't even bother listening to him as all she was concerned about was Melissa. It didn't matter if it was going to take her to tear down the cage to bring her out and humiliate her. She wanted to do it. She saw no reason why Melissa would come for her child. She walked down the stone-walled corridor, not minding if it was dark until she found a familiar body seated on the floor with her head between her legs. Lillith stopped in front of the fire and stared at Melissa for a long time. Her stare was filled with so much hatred and angst and when Melissa finally raised her head to look at her, she hissed. Melissa leaned against the wall with a smile on her face. "You're here. I was expecting to see you. I thought you had no guts," "But you had the guts to attack my son, didn't you?" Melissa laughed. "That was a failed attempt and I regret it. I should have done better, you kn

"Can you at least let me go? Now that you have successfully taken me out of the dungeon?" Lillith said as she tried to pull her hand off him. They were standing at the base of the steps and he released her before glaring down at her. "I told you I was going to take care of her." "I want to do it myself. The whole time, I've been taking care of things. Why don't you let me fucking continue?" "Because I am in charge now. I want to be in charge. Henry is sick and we need to focus on him!" His voice softened and he touched her face. "I understand how angry you are. So am I. I know you want her to pay for everything she has done but trust me, I will make sure she does. We just need to focus on our son first. He's sick and that's all that matters." Tears spilled out of Lillith's eyes. She couldn't even control herself this time. She cried her heart out. Leon pulled her into him and she tried to pull away but his hold around her was strong. "Leon, things haven't been e

Lillith felt like she was floating. It felt like a dream and even if he had made love to her a few times since she returned, it still felt new whenever he touched her, whenever that look of intense desire creeped into his eyes, when he caressed every part of her body. She threw her arms around his neck and stared at him. "Leon," "Yes?" "Do you really want me to be Queen or are you just doing it for Henry?" Leon sighed and pulled away. He had said this countless times but if she wanted him to repeat himself, he was going to do that. "I really want you to be Queen, Lillith. And it's not because of anything. It's not because of Henry. As much as he is important, you are also important. What would I have without you?" A blush creeped up her cheek and she turned away from him. "You would have all of this. The kingdom, riches and all of that." He shook his head and turned her face to look at him. "That's not true. I wouldn't have any of that if it weren't for yo

They had dinner in his chambers. They lay in his bed, eating and laughing. Lillith was at her happiest today and she didn't feel guilt about it. He caught her hand in his at one point when she tried to smear his body with cheese butter. He sucked it off her hand and she giggled while she watched him. His eyes twinkled and he smiled at her. "You're starting to become naughty and audacious day by day," Leon said as he popped a grapefruit into his mouth. She was eating from a plate of scones. She shrugged. "I like it. Don't you?" He watched her for a while and nodded. "I fucking love it." She brought her hand to his forehead and brushed back tendrils of hair that escaped to his forehead. She smiled at him and picked a scone which she pushed into his mouth. After they had lunch, a maid came to clear things up. They both went to take a bath and their body had been smeared with so much food and butter. They took turns washing each other's body. "I can't

They both woke up later in the evening to a knock on Leon's door. He was the first to wake up and when he tried to get out of bed, Lillith threw an arm over him as she tried to keep him in place. "Don't go yet, please," She whispered as she pushed her body against his. "I want to remain here till it's morning," He leaned up on his elbow and stared at her with a smile. "I know you want that. I also do. But I've gotta go, sweetie. I'll be back okay? I just remembered there are things I have to attend to before the coronation. Just go about your day or lay here if you want. I'll be back. And make sure you wear something nice for me." She nodded and smiled and leaned up to kiss him. He had to pull away because she was ready to kiss him for hours on end. He smacked her naked buttocks before climbing out of the bed and winking at her. He slipped out of the room and the door clicked shut. She looked around her. She was here in his room, naked after rounds of pleasure a
