LOGINLeilaās point of viewI woke up to silence, I didnāt move. I just lay there with my eyes half open and me trying to figure out where I was. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, this was not my room. My brows pulled together in confusion, where is this place?Then everything rushed in, the ceremony, last night. Kardor. I felt the warmth beside me now, the aftermath of sleep already worn off. My breath cut, the memories of last night flashed through my mind and I realized I was in Kardorās room.I felt my face heat up instantly, I shut my eyes tightly like that would undo everything but it didnāt. I need to go back to my room or I would die of embarrassment. I shifted slightlyā¦.. and I immediately regretted it. A sharp unfamiliar ache ran through my body making me gasp.āBe careful.ā I heard his voice.Shit! My eyes snapped open, he was awake. I turned my head slowly and there he was, watching me. He seems to have been awake for a while now.āYou are awake?ā he whispered.āI think so,ā
š¶ļø š¶ļø š¶ļøLeilaās point of viewSeeing Kardorās size again made me rethink if he was actually going to fit into me, it doesnāt look as scary as it was the first time but I still had doubts about it fitting in. But the thing is, I want him inside me of me right now.I baldly wanted himā¦. I craved him. I gasped as he slowly pushed into me. I felt myself stretch open for him, he was really thick and it hurts as he pushes deeper into me. He was too big, a drop of tear slid down my cheeks as he pushed past my hymen.He looked down at me, āShit! I forgot you didnāt take the tonic.āāIām so sorry.ā he whispered, peppering kisses all over my face. He didnāt move, he waited for me to get accustomed to his size.āLeila,ā he whispered, his face full of worry. He tried to withdraw but I gripped his arm in pain.āRelax, my love.ā he whispered, moving to my breast. He began to suck and graze my nipples with his teeth.āYou are so fucking sweet, Leila.ā he whispered again.āSo delicious, I canāt g
Kardorās point of viewI heard the curtain shift before she appeared, I held my breath as she stepped in. A thin robe was wrapped around her and I knew she was naked beneath it.Mine.That word hit differently now, I just couldnāt take my eyes away from her. My jaw tightened, not because I didnāt want her, but because I wanted her too much.āHey.ā I said, my voice lower than I expected. The voice of a man about to claim his woman in front of the council.āHi,ā she replied shyly. That alone nearly ruined me, this was the same woman who stood in front of my men and demanded me without hesitation. Now she was suddenly shy. I chuckled.I took a step closer, slowly. Because I knew if I moved the way my body wanted me to move, I would have her against the bed in few seconds, with her robe gone and me already buried inside her, fucking her hard like I promised.I wasnāt going to do that to her, even if I want to fuck her roughly. It wonāt be tonight and not like this, tonight we feast gently
Leilaās point of viewāPunish me?ā I repeated, tilting my head just enough to meet his gaze. āIn a day we would be joined together?ā I whispered.āEspecially on a day we would be joined together.ā his voice was barely above a whisper but it still carried every ounce of the threat he intended. His grip on my waist didnāt loosen and I was becoming very aware of how close we were standing.I could feel the intensity, that slow suffocating pull between us and how many eyes were on us. He let go of my waist when the elders got close, they moved with deliberate steps and their robes brushed against the floor. The king settled on a high throne, I could see Zeth at his right hand side and my parents, with Roberto at his left side.And just like thatā¦.. the ceremony began. A low chant filled the space, it was low at first, then the tempo rose.Deep and ancient voices echoed through the walls like something older than the kingdom itself. Kardorās hand gripped mine tightly enough to remind me he
Leilaās point of viewI expected a feedback from the maid, but I got none. I was conscious of the fact that Kardor was in the same room as I am.āCan I see him?ā I asked one of the women.āYou are not allowed to see the groom till you are completely cleansed. That is to prevent bad luck.āThe women kept moving around me, their skilled hands worked on my body like I was something sacred or something about to be sacrificed.My hair was being oiled and braided in intricate patterns I didnāt fully understand. Gold threads were woven into it, catching the light every time I moved my head. I felt warm and I could smell myself, whatever fragrance they put on me was really strong.āLift your arm,ā one of the women said. I obeyed without thinking.I had stopped questioning things hours ago, I just let them do their job, even though it felt strange.The woman began to trace something cold along my skin. I glanced down, she was marking my skin with symbols.āWhat does it mean?ā I asked.The woma
Leilaās point of viewThe night before the ceremony felt different from every other night I have spent in here. I was pretty much nervous. I sat on the edge of my bed and looked at the door.The ceremony was tomorrow and that fact has been sitting in my chest since morning with the specific weight of something that was coming regardless of whether I was ready for it. I honestly donāt know how to feel about it, I wanted to be Kardorās wife but I donāt know if I am actually ready for it.I was having cold feet, fear was part of it. Not the fear of Kardor but the fear of the tradition itself. There are still some things I donāt know about the traditions.A knock sounded on the door, I crossed to it and opened it.My mother.She was the last person I was expecting, I thought the women were here to prepare me for the rituals. But my mother was the one standing at the door. I stood in the doorway and could not speak.She stepped forward and put her arms around me.āYou are here,ā I whispere
DiegoCarlosās body was found in the garden at the east path, he had been left with a crushed skull and a blood stained note flapping in the air, whoever did this wanted it to be personal and loud.I went there myself to take in every detail, his body laid there cold. I took the sight in, letting m
Isabella's point of view There is something peculiar about the night air in the Deā Lucaās mansion, it always carried secrets. Today was different from every other day Iāve spent in this mansion, after the visit to the menās quarters, it was like I had freedom to do whatever I wanted to do, this w
I turned around to face the person that had broken our moment, a tall man with a commanding presence stood behind us, he should be in his early thirties.āTiano,ā Diego called out.āYes, boss.ā He replied, giving me a small nod before he shifted his gaze to Diego.āEveryone is waiting at the courty
Isabella's POVHe was taking me to the other wing today, to see the side of the mansion Iāve never been too, a little part of me was nervous because I really donāt know what to expect. I was ready, fully prepared, I wandered out of my room when I got tired of waiting.If the left wing was this huge
