SCARLETT POVI laugh as he steps up the dance we are doing, which makes everyone move slightly and watch as we move around the dance floor. When the music stops, he bows, and I curtsy. I start to giggle as father holds out his arm. I take it and he leads me back to the thrones."That was good, when did you two learn that?" mother whispers as I sit back down, I smile "You know the private classes father was giving me?""Yes""Well, they were private dance classes because I kept tripping over my own feet every time I tried to dance."Once I had sat down after dancing with Father, more and more males approached me for a dance, I had a duty tonight and that was to be the kingdom's princess and possibly be someone's mate, the only thing that I didn't like was I already knew I was someones mate and he was standing just behind father on protection duty. I sneak another look at Phoenix whenever I can, in any normal circumstance anyone that
PHOENIX/SORENPOVMy eyes stopped flickering as Soren backed off. We then went on to dance and dance until I whisper "Butterfly I want to be alone with you, do you want to get out of here?"She smiles and nods. I take her hand and we head back to the castle. Once we make it to my room, Soren takes control. I close the door and grab her around the waist, pulling her in for our first kiss. I use passion and dominance. I back us up, pushing her hard against the wall. She returns my kiss with just as much hunger, making me believe this is what she wants, but as I slide my hand down the side of her body and I reach her thigh, she seems to tense a little. As I move my hand back up, I slide it under the hem of her dress, coming into contact with her bare thigh, making her shiver. I take this as a good sign. When I reach her hip, I extend my claws and move my kiss down her neck, wanting to both drink from her and mark her as well. My fangs
SCARLETT POVHe leans in, closing the gap between our lips, and kisses me gently. I move my arms so they are now around his neck as he rolls us slightly, so he is laying over me but not on top of me. He slowly adds more dominance to the kiss, tightening his arms, pulling me closer and more underneath him. I tense and open my eyes as he pulls back. Breaking the kiss, he moves one of his hands to my cheek.“Relax Butterfly, I will not take it further until you are ready.”I relax, and he starts kissing me again. This time he moves his kisses down the side of my neck and whispers, “May I Butterfly?”“Yes!” I move my head slightly allowing him more room as I feel his fangs lengthen, he slides them lightly over my skin before sinking them in slowly, then retracting them and drinking, I let out a mix of a moan, a growl, and a hiss as the pleasure from him drinking spreads thro
SCARLETT POVI’m still a little scared of what is to come, but with the pleasure and sparks still running through me, I give him a slight nod. He then goes back to sucking on the spot where his mark will go and I feel his fangs lengthen, he scrapes them along the skin a couple of times making a shiver of pleasure flow through me again before he sinks them in, as the pain gives way to pure pleasure, he thrusts his hips forward hard tearing through my innocence and burying himself deep inside me in one move. He holds himself still and tight to me as I scream out with the pain, all pleasure now gone and tears falling out of the corner of my eyes. He removes his fangs from where his mark now is and he swipes his tongue over the skin to seal it. He moves his kisses, trailing them back up my neck to my lips, and then he looks into my eyes. “Butterfly? Are you okay?”“It hurts Soren… Why did you??” I can’t help t
PHOENIX/SORENPOVI wake up in the late morning surrounded by Scarlett’s scent and her wrapped tightly in my arms, but I can also smell fresh blood. I tried to keep Soren from blocking me out last night, but the combination of the blood moon, Scarlett’s wolf, recognizing the mate bond, and then that encounter with Sharon, one of our old lovers, made it really hard. I just hope he didn’t do anything that I will regret today, but I have a feeling that he has, especially with smelling the fresh blood and it is Scarlett’s. I really hope he didn’t force the mating on her last night. She deserves love, not just giving him some quick pleasure. “Soren??”“Yyeess Nix?”He lazily answered while giving a small hiss sigh of satisfied content“What did you do with our Butterfly last night?”“Well, I
SCARLETT POV“Scarlett! If you don’t stop...” I feel him shaking slightly as he tightens his arms around me even more. Even after what Soren did last night, I still feel safe in his arms. I always have, but no one seems to understand that, the same as they won't understand why I will choose to stay with him even after what Soren did. I then whisper in between kisses,“Nix! Can you...” I then look up into his eyes.“Are you sure? Butterfly? I don't want to scare or hurt you anymore! I don't want you to think I am just taking my pleasure from you...”I can hear the nervousness in his voice and I know it will take time, but we are meant to be together. I move my hand lightly over his skin up to his chest. I smile as he hisses low again. I place my hand on his cheek and slowly pull myself up to place a soft kiss on his lips.I guess that was all the answer he needed as it didn’t take him l
UNKNOWN POV I have spent the years working my way further up in the guard rankings, so I am able to get my hands on more and better information on who, what, where, and when things will be happening. Which is how I came to be standing in the shadows watching the event rather than being on duty for it. I watch as everyone dances with the princess and then listen to them gossip once she sits back down. Most of them were complaining about the vampire standing behind the king hissing low and threatening at every male that approached her, saying she has no mark and therefore could be their mate. I smile to myself, knowing that, that particular vampire happens to be the princess's mate. Everyone in the castle knows and has known since she was a newborn. They have, however, managed to keep it quiet from everyone else. As the night winds down, I go to move back to my post and continue to watch, but then I see the vamp and princess sneak out the side doo
SCARLETT POVI don’t get to say anything as he cuts me off with a dominance-filled kiss. His hand runs down my body and when he gets to my thigh, he pulls on it to lift it up and around his waist. He stops with his hand resting on my thigh and does nothing more except kissing me until I relax and start to kiss him back, he then slowly slides himself inside me but this time he continues with slow gentle thrusts and I can’t stop the pleasure that builds and flows through me. As I respond to the pleasure he is causing, he starts to increase his thrusts, making them faster and faster, but still gentle. I can feel his pleasure building just as high as he was building mine. He takes me over the edge first, making my body tighten and then shatter around him. He keeps going, keeping himself on the edge as he builds up my pleasure again. The next time he takes me over the edge, he releases with me.“I am sorry, Butterfly, but I wanted to make up fo
