All Chapters of Punished by the Duke: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~Penny~Almost a week passed after that heart-rending night, but I didn't hear from Lawrence. Despite wondering what he wanted to talk to me about, I lacked the courage to show up at his suite without his permission."Penny!! You can't keep the Royals waiting. What's taking you so long?" The Stable Master's impatient voice echoed through the narrow hallway, shattering the fragile remnants of my sleep. It was barely dawn. Rain was lashing against the windowpanes. It was already time to prep the horses for the Prince's departure to his soon-to-be bride's mansion somewhere up north.I was one of the faceless stable hands in the vast stables of the Campbell palace, just like my brother, cousins, and uncle were. Like the stalls I cleaned, my life held a predictable monotony... hay, hooves, and the occasional fleeting memory of a carefree life with my parents before it fell apart.My uncle was the Stable Master, a man as sour as week-old milk left in the sun. Blood meant nothing to him. Afte

~Leander~Steam clung to my skin as I stepped out of the bath, the long soak finally washing away the exhaustion of the past two relentless months. As I walked from the parlor room to the closet, the scent of freshly baked bread and fried eggs infiltrated my senses.But where the hell was my coffee? I made a mental note to deal with my incompetent chambermaid later. After flipping through the mail she had left on the dresser, I ran my fingers through my damp hair, shaking off the last of the steam. Mr. Gilbert, who was my dresser and advisor, should be here soon. Tossing the towel aside, I reached for a crisp white shirt. An unwanted moan resonated through the bedroom. Sprawled across my four-poster bed was my sister's friend, with her lustful gaze brushing over my naked body with no modesty.What the fuck was she still doing here?I had wanted her gone before I even stepped into the bathroom. She was a good fuck, but I was done with her."Get out!""Leo, you treat me like I'm some po

~Penny~I got the same wet dream again, only this time, the handsome man had the Duke's face. It was impossible not to think about him ever since I saw him."Tell me, Penny... Am I the only one losing my mind here?""I want this too, more than anything I ever wanted."His hungry mouth was immediately on my folds, dragging his tongue over and over and sucking my sensitive bud. Why would I ever say no to him if he wanted to taste my pussy. I always wondered how that felt, but Lawrence's priority wasn't exactly to give me pleasure. "Aghh, yes!" Tightening my grip on his hair and wrapping my legs around him, I threw my head back, shaking uncontrollably. He continued flicking my clit with his tongue while pumping his two fingers slowly into my sopping slit."Come for me, Penny." His eyes were dark as the night for a moment as he said those words. Pleasure seized my body when he quickened the pace of his thrusting fingers and curled them inside me. Cupping his face with my hands, I kissed h

~Penny~The clock was ticking faster and faster. After that embarrassing exit from the Duke's suite, I didn't find the courage to go anywhere near him again. I was still bruised, breathless, and utterly shaken from the experience. Three days have passed since then, and I covered zero ground.Crisp autumn air nipped at the base of my neck as I huddled in Aunt Molly's garden, trying to soak in the last few warm rays as the sun raced to hide behind the mountains. My heart rate spiked up as the mail carrier whistled at the gate."Oh, these are for me! Pardon me." I almost stepped on Aunt Molly's foot while trying to grab the two letters addressed to me. They had Ben's name, but in Lawrence Campbell's familiar scrawl. I dreaded opening them, fully knowing the threats and disappointment they would brim with."But Penny," Aunt Molly began, "Why on earth are you here if Ben needs you this terribly? He's too dependent for a young man to be writing to his sister so much, don't you think? Does he

One week later~Leo~"Mm, this is some strong coffee," my sister mumbled as she slumped back into the chair, taking another long gulp of her hot coffee. I knew Mabel was trying to avoid the topic. She hated it when I stuck my nose into her business. But keeping her away from bad people and any sort of potential harm was totally my business."He should be here anytime now," she spouted when she saw me checking my watch."Isn't this a nice breakfast spot?" She rambled on. "With winter sneaking up on us so quickly, look at those fireplaces in the corner... oh so cozy, I love it!" Taking a deep breath, I shook my head. I wasn't happy with whatever she was proposing to do. She always had to choose the most unconventional or unintuitive options, which complicated her life. With the kind of money she had, she could spend the next eighty years lazing around in a bathtub filled with fizzy champagne. But no, why would she just accept the good, easy life? She was fixated on starting some risky v
