“B-b-Briseis? I don’t know where she is.” Lord Stevano trembled under Seraphina glare.
“LIES!”
The terror in Seraphina’s voice froze him.
Her hot gaze bore into him, boiling him from the inside out. A sardonic smile appeared on Seraphina’s lips as Lord Stevano tried to squirm under her hold to get away from her burning eyes.
Achilles soft hand came to caress Seraphina’s arm.
“My sweet flower, are you sure you want to do this? Aurelia and I will happily take over… If you do this, there won’t be any coming back from it.”
When Seraphina awoke, the sun had just begun its descent in the evening sky. She clutched the sides of her head as the events of the morning flashed through her mind and tears stung her eyes as she tried to shake the memories away.“Are you okay my sweet flower?” Achilles whispered against her neck as he pulled her back against his chest.She opened her mouth but, no words came out. Shaking her head, she pressed herself closer to Achilles, revelling in the contact that she had been longing for more than she realised.Burying his face in the crook of her neck, Achilles breathed deeply inhaling her scent.“I’ve missed you, I’ve missed this,” Achilles whispered as he tighten
“Aurelia isn’t going to be happy that she missed Leo’s first shift,” Achilles mused as he tucked Leonardo into his crib.
Seraphina threw her head back as a cry escaped her lips. One hand gripping the side of the bath and the other firmly holding Achilles’ shoulder, she arched her back and thrust her hips forward to meet Achilles’ searching tongue.Finger nails dug into her hips as Achilles pulled her closer, his tongue flicked out and danced over her swollen bud, exciting the nerves. Seraphina tightened her legs around his shoulders, steadying herself as her cries echoed through the bathroom.Achilles moved a hand up to massage Seraphina’s breast whilst the other moved down from her hip to tease her dripping wet entrance.He sucked her excited bud into his mouth as he plunged a finger into her depths;
*A light breeze drifted through the hallway twirling Seraphina’s sk
“I should have known your father would’ve kept an alter hidden somewhere,” Isobella grinned as she walked into the secret room.
An electric buzz coursed through Thea as the mages chanted their syphoning spell. Seamus had warned her that she would feel the absorption of the magic but, she had no idea it would feel so…thrilling. Butterflies, more akin to flying rocks, danced around in her stomach, a radiant sensation passed through her body, warming her from head to toe.The notion that she was absorbing her father’s magic suddenly occurred to her. She had never felt connected to her parents, having no memories of them whatsoever. Moving to the DeBeaux Angelo manor, she thought she would’ve felt a connection, a spark, something but, she didn’t. It just felt like a house.Now, for the first time, she felt connected, she felt the love her father had for h
“Violence will be avoided if possible, our main priority is to get in, get the children and get them out. The mages along with Princess Seraphina will be entrusted with bringing the children back to the manor. Magnus?” Aurelia addressed the solider.“Yes Princess,” the aforementioned stepped forward with a salute.“You will stay here with your men to await their return in case anyone tries to follow. The children will stay the night here with their families, they will be seen to by the palace doctors, Helga and Bethel to see if they require any treatment. You are to guard them at all times. I want 2 soldiers stationed inside each of their rooms and an additional 2 guarding the doors.”
A wave of nausea passed over Seraphina as she approached the circle of mages. Swaying on her feet, her hand shot out to grab Aurelia’s arm, steadying herself.“Is everything okay Seraphina?” Aurelia whispered under her breath.She gulped audibly before nodding and gesturing for them to continue forward.The circle of mages parted as Seraphina, Achilles and Aurelia came to meet them. Isobella opened her arms out to embrace Seraphina, as they parted she paused momentarily and cast her eyes over Seraphina’s body. An unsettling look came across her face before she shook it away and gave a solemn smile.“Are you sure it is wi
