His Forbidden Mate 9: Surviving
“How much would this go for?” I asked, picking up a silver sequence material hanging on the wall, which I could already picture myself in. I was currently at the market square, needing a wardrobe change. Having a dazzling outfit was one of those things that made our victims at the desired parlour swoon. It’s the first thing that always captivated them. Our performance and seductive acts came after. Getting for myself also meant getting for my workers as well, because uniformity at the parlour is key. “A yard would go for three pieces of gold, but for you, I would give two,” Pedro said with a friendly grin. He has been my go-to seller in the past six years of running the parlour and not only does he give discounts, but he also advises on which material is best and which would last longer. We’ve developed a sort of friendship and I rely on him to give me fashion advice. I believe him more than anyone else. “Mistress!” he nodded his head in acknowledgement. “Shh, not outside the p
His Forbidden Mate 10: The rules to follow
Kimi came to stand beside me at the entrance of the hall where I stood watching the show go on in the parlour. I stood there for a while, knowing I’d be up soon, but not wanting to. This was supposed to be the day before the full moon and I usually let the men get a glance at what it felt like to be with me. Since my agreement with Edward, I’d have to step down from my role as the rewarder of the highest spender and instead assigned Jane, Vixen and Willow to take up the roles. Although our victims at the parlour rebelled against the change, none dared take it up. The three have done their best to fill in the space. Edward hasn’t been here in weeks, still I had to stick to the terms of the agreement so I won’t be found going against the rules when he decides to show up. I still maintained a few duties, such as the motivator, which was what I would do today. I would dance on the pole, play and tease a few of them to get them in the mood. This usually brought about more spending and aft
His Forbidden Mate 11: Trapped with the devil
He was in the parlour, watching the show, watching me play with my victims with so much concentration that made me feel uneasy.My stomach curled, realising that his presence would bring nothing good. Sure, he had lust in his eye, but he wasn’t drooling like the other men, rather his eyes watched me intensively as if studying my move and learning them.Chills ran down my spine and I’m unable to hold his gaze. I looked down at the victim before me. The joy and confidence I had in me a while ago faded away, and insecurities crept in. Thought such as what his unannounced appearance at the parlour meant overwhelmed my mind and it took a while to shake it off.No matter what it was, I couldn’t let him into my head. It might mean little to him, but this was my life and therefore everything to me.When I glanced up the second time, he was gone, making me wonder if he was ever here.I leaned in and took the victim’s bottom lip between my teeth. My hand trailed over his chest, down his stomach
His Forbidden Mate 12: Desire
I flattened my hands on his chest and pulled away and despite breaking the kiss; he didn’t back up. His hot breath fanned over my face and weakened me from the inside out. My gaze could barely hold him any longer because I knew I’d give in to this the longer I stared at him.“Your body yearns for my touch. I see it in your eyes. But you believe giving in to it would be a sign of weakness.”I flared at his audacity to read the truth. “The last thing I want is to have your hands on my body.” My anger spoke, but my voice betrayed me, conveying my need as it weakened towards the end.“That’s a lie, because that’s exactly what you want. You’re afraid that you won’t be in control and you’re right, you won’t be, but that’s okay. I’ve got you.” His hand came up to draw a fine line from my shoulder, down my chest to the swell of my breast. My breath cut halfway and my nipple hardened as his palm covered my hidden breast and softly fondled it, earning a moan from me.It was an explosive feeling
His Forbidden Mate 13: Balance
His mouth held mine captive for a while longer, but soon moved to kiss my chin, tracing his tongue over my jawline and down my neck. His lips headed towards the weak and sensitive spot on my neck and I wanted to avoid it, so I tried to twirl around. He grabbed hold of me on each side and kept me still, as if knowing my plan.I discovered the weak spot on my neck with my first ever victim. I felt the vulnerability when his tongue met that spot and I ended the make out section and since then I have allowed no one to touch or kiss me there until now.If the prince notice my reactions to his touch, he didn’t move to stop. His mouth moves dangerously close so that even the air coming out of his mouth made me tingle. My eyes shut, and I thought of how vulnerable I’d be if he pursued this. I didn’t want that, and it was bad enough I had lost control to him. I couldn’t surrender my all as well. “No! Please no,” I cried out. I knew this made me look pathetic, but I could not care less.He stop
His Forbidden Mate 14: The fine lines
I became conscious of my environment and my lashes fluttered to the night light of the day shooting through the window and I wondered how long I have been asleep. I let out a light moan and twisted around in bed to find Edward fast asleep behind me. His hair looked ruffled by the sheets and the snores he made were almost unheard, but I could still hear them and they were cute.I couldn’t stay in bed all day. I had a few things to do. It was the full moon and everything had to be in place.I pulled myself onto my elbow and I heard a growl from behind. “Leaving already?”I guess he wasn’t as asleep as I thought.“Staying in bed after spending the night together wasn’t part of our agreement was it?” I cocked a brow at him.“Don’t go,” he growled.“The sun is up. I know you could stay in bed all day and have people do things for you, but some of us do not have that luxury.” I rose to my feet, not failing to notice his lingering gaze on my every move. I did a quick stretch and picked up my
His Forbidden Mate 15: The broken ones
My stomach tightened at this sudden revelation and change. Why was there a sudden change in his voice, his countenance, and body language? He spoke as if we were enemies... We were, but the tension was lesser a few minutes ago, so what snapped? What took us back to that state? What rid him of his usual cheerful self? “You do not ‘own’ this place. This is still a partnership, right?” He remained silent. “Right?” I repeated. Again, he remained silent. “Are you going to talk to me, or are we going to act like strangers?” I demanded, taking hold of his arm, so he stopped walking. He turned to me, a flare which I wasn’t used to appearing in his eyes. I let go of his wrist, but he doesn’t walk away. He stood facing me, ready to talk. Though I would have appreciated it if we had done the talking in the private chamber instead of here in the hallway where anyone close by could hear. “Have you come around to tell your workers that they have been a power change yet?” he asked, with eyes
His Forbidden Mate 16: Closure
I pushed open the door to my house and stepped in. With the last of my strength, I moved into my chambers. The full moon was tonight. It was no longer news. However, with the event that took place today, I had lost control of my emotions and that meant it would be a broken shift for me. How can I control my emotions when I’ve lost the very thing I care for in the entire world after doing everything I could to keep it? The prince lied to me. He tricked me with his clause and little exception in the agreement. Yes, before he stepped into my parlour, I knew a thing or two about him. I heard how he was a man of honour and principle and how he would make a better king over his brother. I heard about how he sorted peace and fairness throughout the kingdom. So when he proposed a reasonable partnership that would mutually benefit both of us, despite hating the additional clause, I accepted it. He said I broke the agreement, but I had reasons and they were genuine ones. He didn’t want to li
