Annora:
I fell to my knees slowly; nothing but the soft, freshly vacuumed carpet rested beneath my skin.
I take a deep breath while looking up at the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
I knew this wasn't right. Our relationship behind closed doors was something most would frown upon, but I didn't care.
Not now.
Not when I was with him.
Not ever.
"Please give me the strength to make him feel the way I feel right now," I thought to myself as he smiled back down at me.
Our eyes connected. The harmony was palpable and unspoken, like something that had been destined for years.I swear to the heavens, I could have orgasmed just from his eye contact.
I bit my lip, nearly drawing blood from the nerves that were coursing through me just before I gripped his semi-hard cock in my hand.
I tugged on him slowly at first, feeling his soft, warm skin beneath my fingers as he smirked at me approvingly.
It was the approval.The way his eyes told me stories, and his lips never had to say what he was thinking verbally.
This is what kept me coming back.
"That's perfect," he murmured to me.
The sound of his voice and his validation nearly stopped my heart altogether.
I wanted nothing more than to make him satisfied.
His cock quickly came to attention as my lips slid over the saliva I used to lubricate the head of his dick. His hands gripped the back of my head, his fingers lacing through the strands of my locks.My eyes never left his face as my delicate fingers gripped his base and my lips explored further down his length.
"Deeper..." he moans, not a command but not a suggestion either.I opened up my throat, preparing for the intrusion I knew was to be expected.
As if reading my mind, he shoved his cock further into my throat, giving little space for me to breathe.
I gag lightly, not eliciting much of a response, but rather feeling his motions become more consistent and faster.I'm specifically tuning into how he is feeling, which tells me he has a burning need to have his way.
To make me bend to his will and needs.
And I will. He knows this much.
I held back the gag that I felt instinctively, knowing that he would appreciate it if I took him more willingly.
His gaze met mine for a brief moment, erupting with butterflies and sending warmth down my body, driving my core to throb.
My hand reached up to grasp the veiny hard erection that was now devouring me.He welcomed my grasp on the inch of his cock that wasn't deep inside my throat.
"Don't stop" was his only command to me and I gladly obeyed as I bounced his cock in and out, forgetting entirely that it was pushing against my throat. He was all that mattered. "Don't stop" were the words that continued to repeating inside my brain and infest my thoughts as I swallowed his cock.The tip pressed hard into the back of my throat, eliciting another gag to escape.
He chuckled, pulling out and giving me air.My cheeks were warm and flushed as he brushed the tip of his cock against my swollen lips. My body responded naturally to the way he created a need, a monster, something I could no longer control inside of me.
The bead of his pre-cum coated my lips as he swiped it along them slowly, begging me to taste him.My tongue peeked out excitedly, licking the juices he left behind, ready to taste and conform to what he needed.
He was my first. My only.
It happened naturally, we had known each other for years.
"Relax," he said with an easy calm tone making my ass sink backwards against the heels of my feet, where I willingly waited for his next command.He leaned down, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.
I shouldn't be here, but here I am—here with a man I could never walk the streets with.
A man that could never wed me or call me his wife but his cock would fill every inch of me by the end of this night and I would let him.
This wouldn't be the last time.
His index finger slid down my arm softly, causing goosebumps to form across my pale skin."Lift your arms." His tone was rough, commanding, exciting me to my core.
My eyes flash up to meet his. I nod at him and smile, raising my arms. "That's my girl," he whispered, tugging my shirt above my head.I'm not his girl, but on nights like this, we could pretend.
My breasts were now exposed and cold from the air around me. My nipples quickly perked up from the sensation of the cool breeze inside the room he had rented.
A room we had become accustomed to.
We learned long ago not to speak too much.
Not now, not during the events that would unfold for the next several hours.
We would shower, get dressed, and resume our night as if our bodies didn't scream for each other.
We would continue to play pretend.
It doesn't take long before my bare skin is pressed against the soft, burgundy silk sheets. His body sneaking its way between my legs, hovering over mine, before his lips are peppering kisses along my neck and jaw.
Some of this was routine. Some of this was new.
Why was it new?
I gasp and try to say his name, but he quickly cuts me off by pressing his lips against my own softly.
His lips are warm and wet, and he tastes like heaven, soon distracting me from the questions that are now building in my head.
"Shh," he warns, his lips brushing against mine as he speaks.
I gasp again, nodding yes, as he pushes my knees back against the bed, his cock soon sliding into me before I can make another sound.
"You'll be a good girl for me, won't you? "he adds, his eyes darting across my face as he pushes himself further into me.
All the will I had to question what had suddenly changed has left me.
He was all that mattered.
Something deep in my soul told me that tonight wasn't our typical adventure.
He was aware that our days were numbered, even if I had no intentions of stopping our secret affair.
This sent flutters through my stomach as he pulled out and slammed back into me.
I would be married to another in just a few short months, but tonight would be burned into my brain forever.
Jacob:Neither of them is moving, speaking, or possibly breathing, and I can't blame either of them for the shock of the situation.Nora slowly lifts her hand to the glass, still separating the two of them, and places it flat against it. Chia's gaze moves from Nora's hand to me, making eye contact with me for the first time.This wasn't supposed to be what we found. Chia had died, or so we had thought. There are some holes in the information that we had received.Coming inside this building was a terrible idea, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me information that I needed—that we needed."Are you okay?" Nora finally speaks, drawing Chia's attention back to her.Surely, she can speak right? But she isn't making the effort.She looks different. She's now pale like Nora. Her eyes have changed, and she looks numb inside. If emptiness had a physical appearance, it would be Chia."Nora, we need to go," I whisper.I turn back to look down the hallway, everyone is still retreated ba
Jacob:This wasn't going to end well."Nora!" I hiss, pulling her arm back."What? I'm going to be Queen soon, whatever this is," she waves around our surroundings. "It's my business to know."Stubborn didn't touch the surface for this woman. When she sets her mind to something, not much else matters. I looked around, but there were still no sounds, not even rustling from any forest animals, which I'm starting to find very odd. Knowing the nature of this place, it did make a little bit of sense."Nora, we don't know what's in there. It could be dangerous," I comment.I have to admit, I'm a little bit scared. That's saying something, as I don't scare easily."What aren't you telling me?" she asks.I step back, observing her stance. Her hands are folded over her chest, and she raises an eyebrow as if she somehow knows I already know more than I've said.That wouldn't be possible, right? Now I'm getting paranoid. I'm not from her region; she shouldn't have a strong enough connection t
Jacob:"What did Noah do to you?" I ask, as she directs me where to go.She gets quiet, and even her breathing isn't noticeable. So much so that I peek down at her to make sure she is alive or not sleeping.She's small. It's almost like carrying a child, as she weighs very little in comparison to a grown man. It makes me think back to her knocking Genevieve out in the courtyard.I felt proud of her. All these years, I've watched her let people walk on her, but now, as I think about it, it dawns on me.It bothered her more when someone had pushed me around; it had nothing to do with her."He didn't do anything, Jacob. Emilio... he's an empath. He was trying to help me. I have been having anxiety but... he accidentally pulled out other emotions I was feeling and pushed them back into me like a wrecking ball. I'm so embarrassed," she whimpers, pushing her face into my chest.I stop mid-air, holding us in place. I grab her chin, forcing her to face my gaze, but she's stubborn, so she looks
Noah:Something more was going on with Annora and Darin. I couldn't quite put a finger on it, but after what happened with Emilio and her, I had a feeling I had a good idea of what that was.I couldn't be sure, and I'm not saying it really matters, but I was curious.The curiosity was natural since I was considering marrying this woman.Darin looks oddly familiar in a way that makes my stomach turn. I would have to go back to my region to look through our documents and registries to see if anything clicked or if I could find out more information, but I needed to get through today's core challenge first.Not to mention, make sure Nora makes it out of school alive and not mauled by Emilio.I heard he was an empath. There are always rumors about what gifts each region has, especially the leaders and inner circles of the region councils.We all have special gifts, gifts that are meant to help keep our people safe and provide us with extra strength when needed.After today, I know for sure
Annora:My world felt like it was crumbling. Nothing made sense anymore, and I felt like no one was there. The ones who were there were unwilling to give me honest answers, if any answers were given at all.Except Juno. She knew I would be back, and now I know exactly why.The warm air wafts gently around my form, cutting through my hair as the breeze sets in around us. The others turn and walk forward as I gesture for them to give me a few more moments with Jacob."Has your father said anything about Chia?" Jacob murmurs.The walkway suddenly feels smaller, the cement slowly caving in towards us. Anxiety. I take a deep breath and look up at Jacob. His eyes look tired with concern.Did he really think I was going to share any information with him when he couldn't seem to answer any of my questions?The audacity.While Jacob refuses to give me the information that my heart desires, I have to be honest with myself and say that he has, at the very least, been good to me. His features ar
Annora:"A Nora special," Sebastian smiles, handing me the delicious iced coffee that only Winnona could have served up.Sebastian arrives at the front of the castle, alongside El, who has already downed half of her coffee and looks just as tired as I do.The foyer was bustling with people getting their days started, and as much as I had hoped my father would be here, he was nowhere to be found.Gerrard arrives shortly after, Emilio and Noah in tow, as he approaches us."The King has advised me that you will be escorted to each class by your bachelors for the time being. You're not to leave the school grounds without them and are to be home immediately after school," Gerrard says.There's a ping of guilt in his tone. He didn't like relaying orders to me from my father, but we were both fairly used to it by now.I was surprised that my father allowed me to attend classes at all. Even as an adult, sometimes I felt more like a child because I always had to obey his orders.The school was
