Chapter 11 | Knot of Hercules
Marcus's kiss kept me awake all night. My feelings for him are changing too quickly. I thought he had a mean look when I saw him ride with the procession for the engagement only ten days back. But now, a few hours ago, I felt that he looked cute when I was stuttering and he was confused about what I wanted to say to him. And those green eyes, they appear to be telling me so many things, things that make me comfortable around him even though his words are cold and harsh. His arms felt like a safe haven. I could stay there until the end of time.
His one kiss had the power to stir so many unwanted feelings inside me. I don't think I have the strength to stand it when he pushes me away for another

I got a strange dream after drifting back to sleep. I saw the sorceress Shadow talking cryptic crap again, standing on a sand dune. The frames were shifting too soon and I was holding on to every word she said. "Timewarp allows anomalies. You meet people you are not meant to. And sometimes you meet them earlier than you should. The sooner you tell your husband about your truth, the better. Ease him into it, now!" A strong wind blew and she was vanishing into the desert soil. "No, no, no! WAIT!!" I screamed and got up startled. I jumped out of t

I made my way back to the fortress as fast as I could. These clothes felt like they would come off if I ran any faster. I momentarily sat near a water fountain's basin to catch my breath. How long have they been gone? And where can I find them? I wondered. I got up quickly and didn't realize that someone was standing close behind me. I tripped on a foot that was sticking out and a muscular hand stopped me from falling on my face.I saw this man before. Athletic build, high cheekbones, and a fire breathing eagle's tattoo that ran from his left arm to collar bone,

The bar area didn't just have drinks. It had some scrumptious looking desserts and small portions of fried snacks like chicken poppers and oysters. Devin had a crazy sweet tooth! He picked one of almost everydessert.June was probably peach season here. I found a boozy fruit punch made with overripe peaches and plums and it was delicious. The dessert I got looked and tasted like peach pavlova. I also picked a slice of layered cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sorbet. One of the servants approached us with a trayful of more food and drinks to choose from. I hoped that these endless feasts had ended
Love Without Time Limits (AC2)Â Â Â Chapter 15 | Seduction Backfired
I waited for Marcus in his room, feeling nervous and ridiculous. Selma took her time when she had packed my bags back home. She managed to sneak in a semi-transparent black dress. I never wore anything this skimpy or revealing before, except for maybe a bathing suit.I used to be in my most comfortable messy hair, baggy shirt attire whenever Jonathan came home. And that's when I was the most confident. I don't remember thinking twice before making a move on him. But here I was, with my heart racing every time I heard footsteps in the hallway. I turned some of the candles near me off because I felt shy and uncomfortable. Per Selma's plan, I should be seducing him, but I don't even want to be seen by
Love Without Time Limits (AC2)Â Â Â Chapter 16 | Stormy Mood
Dark storm clouds were brewing outside the window around dawn. I could hear faint sounds of wind chimes and tiny brass bells attached to the doors ringing restlessly against the strong gusts of wind. I turned my pillow to lay on the cold side and stared at the streaks of lightning flashing across the ominous sky. The weather perfectly reflected my gloomy, restless mood. I craved for a strong cup of coffee. I have to wait at least for another thousand years to see coffee in Italy. I felt stuck. A sudden wave of depression took over me. This feeling of melancholy was not new to me; it's been my friend for the past six years and liked to pay monthly visits. My mom said there was nothing wrong with me, except

"Why Tulio? He's bigger and more muscular than Marcus!" Marcus didn't get much sleep, and he had been drinking. I got worried. I was also disgusted by the thought of seeing Tulio again. "This is just a friendly game," dad replied, "People love to see some action between high ranking warriors in the army. They travel for days to attend. And it brings in a lot of income for the Consul." Selma shook me in excitement. "He wi

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and the sound of periodic beeps of monitors. I heard light footsteps followed by the voices of two arguing men. "It beats me too, Toni. I don't have an answer for you."A familiar voice that I didn't hear in ages spoke, "But you said it was a simple procedure."Anton was my real dad's name. I could feel the bed sink near my feet as he sat down.

Allena started the letter with a "Dear Marcus" which was struck off and replaced with his full name. "To Marcus Claudius Pulcher, My name is Allena Haerviu, daughter of Cornovii tribe Chieftain, Melvin Haerviu. Your grandfather and my father came up with this terrible idea that we should get married. My parents won't let me reject you, so here are the reasons why you should turn me down: #1 I love Neill #2 I am not a virgin #3 I cuss like a sailor and will cuss you every day until your ears bleed #4 I will cheat on you I am sure you don't want such a woman. No one should ever want me for a wife, except for my Neill (This last bit of four words was written as an afterthought, during proofreading I guess). People say that you are rich, hot, handsome, and whatnot. I'm sure you can get someone within a snap of fingers, someone you deserve I hope. If you want help in finding a sweet woman, my friend Cara is perfect, and I love her. WARNING: If you us
