“You don’t want to come all the way here.”

“I want to thank you properly for the lovely time, Antler. My parents… they are so happy.” Rose chuckled, gripping onto his arms as they were walking towards the building’s exit.

    THIRD POV***************One day before her 20th birthday, Kristine was walking through the corridor, humming a melody to herself with a never-ending grin plastered on her features.Looking forward to her ‘gift’ from Zayne.Before her mind could register, a hand extended and grabbed her wrist, halting her breaths at the intense contact. “My, my, where is that angel going?” Zayne emerged from the other side, pressing his thumb on her pulse, his eyes darkened with desire.Her face flushed, glancing at the corners, “Zayne? What are you doing? Dad is in the next corridor,” She whispered, trying to break her wrist free.“So what? Tell my heart to stop.” Pressing her against the wall, his weight captured her body into his, submerging them in the moment where nothing but they exist. Zayne wished to create a world like this.Just the two of them. No restriction, no status, no fear.“God, ever since you got Dorian’s approval, you have become reckless.” She giggled, poking his heart with h

    Kristine led me to the terrace, the moonlight casting on us to create an ethereal moment, to share an unforgettable kiss I would engrave in my core, the most beautiful moment of my life. “You promise, Zayne. I am 18 tonight.” Kristine insisted, her fingers clutching around my shirt, inducing an exquisite sensation.Our heartbeats were moving in sync, I couldn’t help but to sway in the moment, holding her wrist gentle, staring keenly at the desperate woman. “Were you waiting this badly for me?”She nodded hastily, closing the gap between us, “More than you can imagine. Kiss me. You promised you would.”“I don’t think we…”Her patience was at her limit. Shutting her eyes, she whisper-yelled, unable to control her magnifying desire.“I don’t care about our status, dammit! I want you! I want the man I love to kiss me! Just kiss me, please…!” “You asked for it.” Sighing in defeat, I knew I had promised and she was 18 finally, plus our growing longing for each other hand became unendura

    When Kieran was gone, my feet were frozen to the ground. My heart was threatening to leap out of my chest. Dorian and Antler’s eyes were on me.‘Oh Lord, I am so dead. They will bury me along with these guys.’Eyes widened, sweat collecting on my forehead when Dorian exhaled the smoke in the air and walked towards me.My head was low. Dorian was right before me, his eyes stricter than ever, disturbing my whole being. “Was it true, Zayne?”“Wh- What?” I blinked, trying to act oblivious, hoping that would save me from my ultimate demise. “Did you kill them because they hurt Kristine?” He avoided the ‘love’ part completely. He did not question nor did he force the answer off me, fortunately.“She... She is just 15, Sir. And these dogs touched her forcefully. I did what any dignified man would,” I replied honestly. “You hear, Dorian? Dignified man.” Antler chuckled darkly from behind. They shifted from outrageous to predatory in a heartbeat.“I am sorry, Sir. I—I don’t know what took

    I was 18, my life was sorted, looking forward to a hardworking life. To provide the best for my mother and sister by standing on my feet soon. I couldn’t fathom Kristine as a part of my future. A servant? Loving his Madam? Impossible. I had convinced my heart since childhood.One evening, I was studying, and 15-year-old Kristine ran and collided into me. My books fell on the ground, back straightened by the heavenly impact of the embrace. “Zayne…!”“Kr-Kristine? What happened? Why are you crying?” I gasped.Glancing over my shoulder and found her sobbing. Her hands wrapped around my waist, refusing to let me go. Her tears soaking my shirt, clenching my heart, wondering what happened to her now. She looked up at me through her tears-stained face, whimpering. “My.. my… first kiss!” I blinked. “Your first what?” “They- they took it. They pinned me and kissed me forcefully…!” She cried more, turning me to face her, her hands locked around me, sharing her anguish with me.“I spit on

    We remained like this for a while, allowing reality to settle deep in our bones before pulling away a little. I shifted closer, resting my head on his shoulder. Zayne continued smiling beautifully, tracing his index finger on the lines of my palm with the purest affection.“Zayne…”“Hmm?” “For the first step, Zayne, I want you to accept me as your wife.” I murmured on his neck, planting a brief, but in-depth kiss. He chuckled nervously, placing his free hand on my shoulder to pull me into his embrace.“You are my wife, Darling. What do you mean accepting-”Freeing my hand, I clutched his shirt, forcing him to stare into my serious gaze, demanding what I had been desiring for quite a while.“Start calling my name in public. I am yours, do not use the formal tag of ‘Mrs Nightwood’ with me. Use my name, call me. Please?”Zayne was shocked.“I.. uh..
