Brishor snapped his head at Chezzal. The General narrowed his eyes as his face twisted with anger. “I will be right back!” he said and turned to get out of the bed, when Brishor stopped him.
“Don’t act in haste!” Brishor growled.
Meryl’s gaze darted from Brishor’s face to Chezzal’s. “What is it?” she asked, totally confused and disturbed by the noises. She wanted to go out and look at what was going on.
After a moment of silence, Brishor said, “You go out with Chezzal downstairs and see what is happening, while I go and check the perimeter of the castle. Were you expecting guests? Or did your mother say anything about receiving more guests?”
Meryl shook her head. “Not to
The previous night when Meryl was unconscious for a long time, Brishor felt helpless. While Chezzal sat near her all the time, Brishor thought that he would go mad, if she didn’t wake up. In order to vent out his frustration, he had gone out of the castle and ran in the wilds until he was out of breath, until he lay on the ground hoping for his life to end. He dragged himself through the pain back to the castle and on his way back, he heard Judith and Viola.They had taken shelter in one of the crevices in the castle wall. They were injured and yet they were cursing Meryl. Pissed as hell, he had dragged them inside the castle and then thrown them in the dungeons that had been closed for a long time. The women had shrieked and shouted in protest, but in front of a massive dragon like him and two soldiers who had chained them, they couldn’t do much. The dungeons had rusted iron doors and we
“Brishor…?” Valerie murmured with shock cruising through her as she stared at the king who was coming down the stairs. She blinked several times to clear her hallucination, but then there he was—looking menacing and dark as if he was about to erupt like a molten lava any time. And right beside him was Chezzal, his General, who was looking just as intimidating. They both came and stood behind Meryl as if they were her sentinels.At the same time, Alburn went completely still as his mouth fell open. After a moment of silence, he drew his head back sharply and in a disbelieving voice, said, “You!”Brishor narrowed his eyes as a snarl left his mouth. “Lord Alburn.”After a silence that stretched like miles in a desert, Alburn said, “It is good that
Numbness swept through his body. Alburn staggered back and Valerie held him tightly, looking for an anchor for her knees felt wobbly. Alburn thought he had the master plan and that he was going to gain not only the treasures of Windley, but also an abundant supply of Niambh. He had come to lay the ultimate trap that would have made him rich beyond imagination, but now…The two councilmen looked ferocious. They walked closer to where Meryl and Chezzal were standing.Brishor continued, “Judith had gone to meet you in a hurry, and that raised my suspicion. She had bought Niambh from you. These two councilmen out here,” he pointed at the two of them with his thumb over his shoulder, “Mazu and Hama are witnesses to it. They saw Judith coming out of Valerie’s house with Niambh.”
Brishor had proposed to Meryl a day earlier.Kneeling on one knee in front of her, he said, “Will you be my wife?” As he gazed at Meryl’s face that morning, as the first light of morning fell on her skin, illuminating her peachy complexion, he forgot to breathe.Meryl bit her lip seeing him craning his neck to look at her face. Her eyes locked with his pine green ones and numerous emotions swirled in her. She nodded. “I will…” she replied and realized that Brishor took a deep breath. He had pulled her to him. She curled her hands around his head as he pressed her against her belly.“You have to come to Galdere with me,” he said, as she played with his locks.Chezzal was sitting on the bed watching t
“Am I?” Meryl rasped as she arched her body for him to take more. He snarled against her nipple. His hand reached her other breast. He took her hard nipple between his thumb and forefinger and rolled it. She whimpered as pleasure cruised through her. Slowly, he took his hand down and cupped her sex.“Ah, my girl is wet for me,” he said. “What would I do to get inside you?”“Then get in!” she breathed. Her core was throbbing so hard that she wanted him inside.Sensing her need, he slipped his finger inside her and pumped in and out until she saw stars in her vision. She came all around his finger as he sucked her hard. Meryl was breathless. She threaded her fingers in his hair as she watched him suck her breasts. “Am I not good enough?” she asked
When Angus heard about Tere that she made Meryl escape, a shudder passed through him. Meryl was Brishor’s guest and his mate. Making her escape was treason. He drew in a shaky breath as he pursed his lips. He didn’t know that Tere would be so scheming. But what could drive her to this level? Sitting on the bed, he felt dizzy. Tere was his betrothed and they both loved each other, but this— this was so twisted. He was completely flustered. The foundation of love on which he had been swelling his chest on, cracked beneath his feet. He was in the prison, but he was happy that he tried to protect his betrothed. And now…Shaky at the revelation, he asked in a gravelly voice, “So, what do you plan to do now?”“What do you want me to do Angus?” Brishor replied. “Because this sure as hell is an act of treason
They were least expecting to find Penny and Ludwig in the dining hall. And when Brishor saw Ludwig, he was stunned. “Ludwig!” he rasped. His gaze darted to his mother who was standing near the table, talking to Penny. She winked at him. Excited as hell, Brishor couldn’t hide his content. His eyes shone and his skin rippled with bright scales. He was bristling with joy.Penny was wearing a crimson gown that pooled at her ankles. Its long sleeves tapered off towards the end. With her hair pinned up, the skin of her neck reflected the shine from the large diamond earrings she was wearing. Ludwig looked just as handsome as ever. He was wearing brown leather pants with a white shirt.Penny turned to see Brishor and a grin covered her face. She rushed to him and almost leapt to hug her old friend. Brishor planted his feet on the ground t
Brishor took the necklace from Penny’s hands with shaky hands. He thought that he had to ask Penny for it, but when she gave it to him on her own volition, he couldn’t but feel grateful to her. He gave her an appreciative glance and said, “Thank you.”“It wasn’t mine to begin with, Brishor,” Penny replied. “It was always yours.”His lips curved up and he gave her a light bow. When he looked at Meryl, his gaze was heated. And Meryl felt that she would melt under that gaze.“I need to sleep, wife!” Ludwig announced. “Are you coming to sleep with me or do I have to sleep with you?”Penny shook her head. Her man was too shameless. He just didn’t leave an opportunity to tell
