Jasper“What should I do with you?” I muttered as I stood before Patrick Blanderdolf, who was sprawled unconscious on the floor. I nudged his face with my foot and he flinched, finally regaining consciousness.Selina had already left the house. I saw her run out a while ago, so I went to Patrick's room to do my job. Hopefully, the princess would go home promptly. As she should. She had no business going to shady people’s houses like that without her security detail. Wasn’t she warned about strangers?To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when she left, but it was all for the best. I had to remind myself every time that she's off-limits... but when I look at her, I lose all sense. I don't know what I'd do if she stayed. Not after what she said.F*uck me...She was serious and coherent when she said that. Did she mean it?I scoffed. I was just joking when I offered to sleep with her. I just want to rile her up. I took her inside to see what she would do.No. It was me. I got angry when

Content Warning: Detailed Sex Scene in the second half of the chapter______SelinaI gasped when I woke up with a start. I had the weirdest dream. I don't remember what it was, but it left a weird, uneasy feeling in my chest. I looked around me and let out a sigh of relief. I was in my bed, in my dorm, with a coverlet wrapped snugly around me. I had no idea whose it was. The reed dress that I wore at Henry's party was hanging on my bathroom door.I tried to get up but my head felt like it was spinning, my temples throbbing, and my body was so sore I could've sworn my joints made a popping and crackling sound every time I moved. I fell to my knees when I tried to get out of bed. My legs feel like jelly, my lower back and thighs hurt so much. My pelvis hurt so much. What in the seven hells happened to me?I unwrapped the coverlet off of me, about to throw it away, when I noticed it had a blood stain in the middle.What the— did my perio

So that was stupid.I took my loofa and scrubbed my skin red and raw, as if it would erase what I’d done. I don’t know what possessed me to do the things that I did. I don’t know why I enjoyed it. Sure, he was good and considerate, and passionate, but... I was not a single woman. He knew that. [I]knew that. Why didn’t we stop? No. I didn’t stop him. I felt so guilty. I didn’t even think about Henry all night.Even now, I thought, all I could think about was how Jasper made me feel. Memories of last night made my body hot and tingly.I ended up touching myself in ways I’ve never touched before. I’ve had lewd thoughts about him before, after I saw him having s*ex with that dark-skinned girl in my garden, but nothing warranted a mast*urbation. Not one. But because I’ve already got the taste...I wanted to cry. I felt so dirty. Shameless.In the end, I justified my actions with the thought that touching myself is natural and part of growing up. I only felt negatively about it because of m

“You knew, didn’t you?” My voice shook as I asked, dreading the response I might receive. “Let’s go somewhere private.” Jasper gathered his things beside him. “No!” The thought of being alone with him again... “Stop yelling.” The Lycan was frowning at me before sighing. “And yes. I knew about it.” “Y-you knew, and didn’t stop me? You lured me into a trap!” “Would you listen if I told you?” “Yes! N-no, I...” My head was hurting. So much information and revelation, I was having an overload. Even if Jasper warned me, I wouldn’t have listened to him. I was so desperate for friends, I... “Well, that’s your answer.” “You purposely allowed me to be in danger. That’s grounds for treason.” “I saved you, didn’t I?” “That’s not the point—” I stared at him. “What else are you not telling me?” Jasper sighed in annoyance, rummaging in his pockets until he pulled out a white cellphone and tapped on it before showing it to me. I grabbed the phone with shaking hands. “Next time, turn your

“Something's different about you, Selina,” Henry said as he put a hand on my waist while gripping my hand with the other. We were in the middle of Lyall Palace's great hall, about to partake in the tradition to be the very first to hit the dance floor at every party. I had organized this one in honor of the winter solstice.It was like my heart stopped for a second and I swallowed nervously.“W-what do you mean?” I asked, grasping his shoulder and his hand, trying to sound casual. I purposely gave our chests space so that he wouldn't feel my heartbeat. Did he know? Had he found out about me and Jasper? How? Did Jasper talk? My eyes scoured the ball room for the man in question and I saw him sitting on the fainting couch in the corner with a girl in each arm. While I was being questioned, he was out there laughing and flirting with girls. I tried to keep my composure. All the nobles in the land were in attendance and everyone was watching us. The moment the music started, Henry and
