Synopsis

Contract Marriage

Drama

Badboy

This book was released back when I was trying to get traction on it a very long time ago. I’ve never made a single dime from this company, but they’d like to keep my book forever. Even when I did the writing every single day thing and should’ve gotten a “publishing bonus.” It never happened. So they don’t get to keep making money off of me and my writing. This was a much older draft than what I’m currently trying to publish anyway.

Ch. 2: The Arrival
Hayward looked up at the mountains rising before them and realized that they had packed little in the way of warm clothes—in part because they hardly owned anything of the sort. One more thing for the men to complain about. "I must say, I'm a little envious," he said, pulling alongside the princess, "to only have to worry about wild animals rather than bandits and thieves. The desert isn't kind to such beasts, anything big enough to be a danger will struggle to find enough food." Like the other men, he wore a pale white tunic and hat along with grey pants, all loosely fitting. Somewhere underneath was a muscular soldier, but it hid him well from the sun and anything else that wanted to see him. Hayward looked over at the princess again, smiling to himself. At least she's pretty. That'll make this more pleasant. "If you encountered some of these beasts, you might be less so," she told him, though she doubted he'd ever seen anything of the sort. The lush forests and mountains were an

Ch. 3: Dinner
Hayward thanked her and shut the door behind her as she left. Then he turned and looked over the room. It was nice, possibly nicer than his own back home. He took a slow breath and licked his lips. The place even smelled nice. Ok, idiot. Focus. Foreign castle, upcoming dinner. Get cleaned up. He set to work, stripping out of his dirty traveling clothes and drawing a bath. Out of habit, he stopped when the water was only a couple of inches deep. Wait. They have plenty of water here, don't they? He looked closely at the sides of the tub for any indication and quickly found the faint deposits of soap he wanted. Usually filled up. Oh, this will be heavenly. It had been years since the young prince had enjoyed a full bathtub. He sat in the tub and waited for the water to rise around him. While he savored its soothing power, his mind churned. Ok. I'm here. In Treiaul. They appear happy to have me. Possibly too happy. I think her mother is going to try to get us paired up. Can't read the

Ch. 4: Goodnight
 As soon as they were safely out of the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank the gods that's over... I'm not sure I could've stomached it if Papa had decided we needed a toast for every course, like the time the visitors from Gaf arrived. And I know my mother wanted me to give you the tour TONIGHT, but what does it matter if it's in the morning? You're tired. Let the poor man rest!"Elissa, too, was tired. She had ridden to meet them and escorted them back. Then she had to be laced into this damned dress. One day she would give her mother a piece of her mind about the way she paraded her around like she was the true dessert on the menu. But that night was not tonight. Tonight, she just had to lead the prince to his room, make sure he was comfortable, and then she could get the damned dress OFF.Hayward wasn't quite o

Ch. 5: Good Morning
The rest of the Aasleaghans eventually made their way to bed, though some of them needed more help than others. Hayward, meanwhile, slept soundly, at least until the first light of dawn started peeking through his window. He slowly, lethargically, dragged himself out of bed and walked over to the window. Without really thinking, he stripped off his shirt and then spread his arms, basking in the morning sun. Living and growing up in the desert, one learned to appreciate its warmth, even if one spent the rest of the day hiding from it. The prince closed his eyes and soaked it in; up in the mountains, he was going to want the heat. Then he opened his eyes and looked straight at the sun, his pupils contracting until they were little more than black pinpricks against a green background. Alright. I made it through the first night. No one tried to kill me. Good start. I may have even gotte

Ch. 6: The Tour
 "And I should see my horse again. Hopefully, he hasn't tried to break out of the stable and come looking for me." He paused, licked his lips, and lowered his voice once again. "Or tried to get to know any of the mares. He can be rather... randy... and I'd hate for you to end up with a generation of strong, stubborn, and nearly untrainable... horses." There was a playful twinkle in his eye. He was clearly talking about the horse, but he might have been talking about someone else as well."Yes, we will make sure to check on your horse, though I do promise, if he got too feisty... he's in a stall. So for his sake I hope he could keep it in his pants..." she thought about the sentence and rephrased, "metaphorical pants... I wouldn't want to be caged up when everyone else was running free..." that also had a deeper meaning than just horses, but she left it alone and kept talking

Ch. 7: Saferoom
The stairs wound for two more flights before another doorway appeared. "They don't exist because they're meant to be safe rooms..." she said, sliding the lock on the door in a star-shaped pattern before it popped open. "And if anyone asks...you didn't see that..." it was the top level which had the "crown" of quartz on top. The top of the room was clear so you could see out, and while the sides of this circular room had limited view looking up because of the crown, the center was unobstructed. There were chairs, desks, dressers, and two oversized beds. Off to one side was a partitioned bath area. But in the very center of the room was a pile of pillows made into a sort of makeshift bed.She walked toward them, smiling. "Sometimes I come up here and look at the stars. It's gorgeous. Just...me and the sky. Except I don't actually have to be outside, and it's quite comfortable..." she laugh

Ch. 8: Lunch Break
Elissa opened the door once more and made her way down the winding staircase. It was much quicker going down than up, and before long they'd made it back to the bottom. From there, she walked into the great hall where her mother and father were already waiting for lunch."And there they are!" Her mother said with a smile. "Prince Hayward, did you enjoy your tour? Is she keeping you properly entertained?"Elissa took the seat next to her mother with a sigh. I hate that I may give her what she wants. Then again, what she wants is for me to marry him. I still don't think I'm very interested in that. She'd probably be less happy if I just bedded him without that. I'll take that as my consolation prize for actually liking someone she chose.Hayward did his best to settle his t

Ch. 9: Predator
She nodded, going on down the hallway and expecting him to follow behind. They passed the room where he had been staying and hooked around to the next hallway, going down only a few doors before coming to the one with the emerald "E" on it. "Home sweet home," she said, opening the door to a room twice the size of the one he was staying in. Perched atop of the king sized bed was a giant cat, white with black stripes, and colossal teeth coming out of its mouth. The beast had been sleeping, but as the door opened, so did its eyes. They were a sparkling blue as well.It picked its head up, looking at the man coming behind her, looking as though it might bristle. "Sasha, behave..." at her word, the cat laid her head back down, still looking curiously at the man. "Come..." she said, snapping her fingers. All at once, the monstrous cat stood up and jumped down onto the rug below the bed, stretc

Ch. 10: Star Gazing
Prior to meeting the king and queen, Dantares sat Hayward down to get (most of) the truth out of him. He and the princess hadn't slept together, but they'd come close. They had enough alone time planned for the coming days, and they were likely to cross that line. This was, in Hayward's estimation, a terrible thing. Sleeping with princesses always caused trouble.Dantares, however, wasn't quite so sure. "The Queen seems rather keen on seeing the two of you married. With that in mind, she might be willing to overlook some pre-marital mischief. More importantly, however, is the matter of purity. It is never so much sleeping with princesses as deflowering them that causes drama."The old man paused. "Based on the way Elissa acted, it seemed unlikely that her virginity is at stake. That doesn't mean that sex wouldn't lead to trouble, but pe
