ChelseaI froze there, my body tense with a mixture of desire and apprehension. His voice sent shivers down my spine, his words echoing in my mind.Sea! It was just a nickname, but in this moment, with the way he spoke it, it ignited something within me. Something I couldn't quite ignore, no matter how hard I tried.His question hung in the air, a weighty anticipation building between us. Did I want my narcissus? The thought alone sent a flurry of sensations through my body, an undeniable longing that clashed with my better judgement. I couldn't deny the electricity that crackled between us, even as I fought to suppress it.But I couldn't let him see the effect he had on me. And so, I mustered up every ounce of defiance and shouted, "Hell no!" I needed to distance myself from this man, from these forbidden desires that clawed at the edges of my consciousness. It was wrong, I knew that, yet it felt undeniably right.The prince seemed undeterred by my outburst, his eyes boring into mine
ChelseaI could feel the anger pumping through my veins, my heart pounding in my chest after Alastair had left the room, leaving behind a trail of offensive remarks. And now, this woman standing before me, who I didn't even know, had the audacity to ask such a disrespectful question. She was undeniably beautiful, with her striking black eyes, sharp nose, and short blonde hair. She exuded confidence, her fashion sense impeccable as she stood tall in her black high heels and office suit. But her words needed a filter."Pardon?" I cleared my throat, giving her a chance to choose her words more wisely.With her arms crossed, she seemed unperturbed by speaking to an unfamiliar woman in such a demeaning manner. "Oh, girl. Did you piss him off by trying to kiss him? Or did you ask for oral and to fuck face-to-face, which he certainly loathes?" A wicked smirk spread across her face.My teeth clenched in frustration. Okay, bitch! That was more than enough. "If you're so interested in knowing ab
AlastairAs I stepped closer, the first thing Chelsea did was step back from me, her eyes darting around to ensure no one had heard the nickname I had just called her. Finding no one engaged in our conversation and the garden filled with workers diligently shaping the trees, she heaved a relieved sigh. It seemed that she was willing to risk her entire life but not get close to me.My jaw clenched. "Did you tell Rossi... well, Rossi is the woman who stayed in the guest house yesterday. The one I once...""Fucked," Chelsea completed my sentence, her face contorted with bitterness.I blinked, taken aback by Chelsea's bluntness. She was a peculiar woman, to say the least. Her sudden transformation into a badass astounded, confounded, and at the same time, provoked me. I had a feeling that Rossi Clooney would be provoked in an entirely different manner. Rossi, the head of the royal event management team, rarely stayed at the palace since her father was a top businessman with a grand estate.
AlastairIn the evening, I reluctantly donned my black blazer over the crisp white shirt, its pearl buttons meticulously sewn. Paired with perfectly tailored black trousers, I was dressed for the gala my mother had impulsively decided to host. The stylist in front of me reached for the black tie, but I couldn't bear her presence any longer. I grabbed the tie from her hand and shot a glare her way. "Leave."With an obedient nod, she made her way out of the room, leaving me alone in my frustration. I exhaled sharply and began to tie the troublesome accessory myself. My mother's sudden gala plans had been a nuisance, and I couldn't help but despise Ms. Kyle for her vexing tricks. I'd asked her to send someone, specifically Chelsea, at least ten times since morning, and she had deliberately avoided it.That old nag was truly getting on my nerves.I hadn't finished voicing my irritation when Alice intervened, guiding Ms. Kyle away to the garden. I would have followed them if my mother hadn'
I couldn't believe what had just transpired. One moment, I was at the lavish event, working as a waitress, and the next, I found myself face to face with a man who both baffled and intimidated me. I turned to confront him, my voice wavering as I stammered, "Y-you are here... why?"His intense gaze seemed to consume me, and I couldn't help but notice how strikingly handsome he was. His hair was slicked to the side, a wispy strand falling from his fringe, enhancing his sharp jawline. I felt a strange mixture of fear and attraction.Before I could gather my thoughts, Alastair, for that's what I assumed his name to be, placed a possessive hand on my back and stood beside me. He feigned a sneer and leaned in to whisper in my ear, "The only one you are allowed to serve is me."His words felt like a death sentence, and I shivered as his eyes traveled down my body. My chest rose and fell as his cold fingers sent a fiery sensation through my bare back. I was trapped in his grasp, and I couldn't
ChelseaAs I watched the lights flicker and the music fill the room, I couldn't help but feel a burning desire deep within me. The touch of his hardness against my body sent shivers down my spine, and I knew that I wanted more. His question hung between us, the air thick with anticipation."Do you want us to stop now?" he whispered, his voice filled with both restraint and longing."NO," I replied quickly, my voice betraying my desperation. I blushed, feeling a rush of embarrassment at the raw need in my voice.He swayed me, our bodies moving in harmony to the rhythm of the music. I could feel the heat radiating from him, matching the fire that burned within me. He leaned closer, his breath mingling with mine, leaving only inches of space between our lips. It was a torturous tease, not quite a kiss but not a pull away either. It was as if he was drinking in my essence, savoring the forbidden pleasure.His voice was low and husky as he spoke again, his throat vibrating with desire. "Say
ChelseaBeing a hybrid—a half vampire and werewolf, Reagan easily had his claws out for attacking. But those claws wouldn't hurt another hybrid like Rhett, even though he was a sort of powerless weredragon–a half dragon and werewolf.We were all well aware of this fact in Flame Falls. The entire village knew that Reagan was the most powerful kind, whereas Rhett was more vulnerable. Everyone believed that the title of 'Prince' should be held by someone as regal as Reagan.But here I was, watching Regan mercilessly shoved Rhett against the archway, delivering punch after punch to his face. Crimson blood poured from Rhett's nose, covering his features as he valiantly refused to back down.It was a brutal sight, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth in shock. Rhett certainly wouldn’t fight back; he didn't have the power to. But he sure had the courage to keep going, even with blood flooding from his nose."Get your hands off me, Reagan," Rhett managed to say, his voice strained and his mo
ChelseaAs I cowered against the postern door, I could feel the weight of Reagan's anger bearing down on me. I never meant to intrude, I had only been curious. And, even though nothing would harm them as I had no power, it did piss Reagan off.He could twist my body with fingers since the reputation he cared so much about had been impaired and the truth he hid for so many years had been unveiled to none rather than me.Reagan's voice dripped with mockery as he arched a sly brow at my trembling form. "Should I pull those sweet lips of yours off? Or should I just dig a grave for you and bury you there? Maybe, I should..."His words cut through the air like a knife, leaving me breathless and terrified. I couldn't believe I had found myself in this situation. I never imagined that my stupid curiosity would lead me here, to Reagan's mercy. I stammered, "I-I swear. I didn't mean to. I was just...""Interested?" Reagan interrupted, his voice laced with disdain. I could feel my heart racing, k
