14Renai wiggled in his hold applying every iota of the strength in her. Though nothing seemed efficacious as the giant man hadn’t even moved a budge. His lips were tugged into a smile as he amusingly watched his woman fight against his hold while he drew circles on her clit. She seldom squeezed her eyes in an attempt to fight off the butterflies that were balling in her stomach. Zebian’s smirk widened when she tried to close her legs to stop him but he shoved a finger in her narrow hole as a compliment. She helplessly shook her head and grimaced uglily, but that only made her look the most beautiful woman in his eyes. She was an enchantress no matter how badly he wanted to deny it and believe otherwise. She was the only medicine to his ill-heart. “Ah..please, your majesty…don’t…d..do…this…le…let..me.g…” He curled his finger inside her before she could word out properly. Her face bore a grimace that satisfied her harasser. He sped his digit while hitting her scared spot, sprouting a

Thea quickly leapt off the bed and kneeled. Her body shivered, realising the red robe wasn’t supposed to be on her. Renai crawled closer to the footboard while glancing at the king whose eyes were flitting between Renai and Thea. Renai gulped and rose to her feet before curtsying in front of him. “My lord,” Zebian’s gaze darted at her as she stared at his legs. Renai wondered why he had come early. The sun hadn’t even set yet. Zebian glanced back at Thea. “Is she your companion?” He asked, his voice deep and demanding. Renai gulped and pondered for a second. One wrong answer could trouble this poor woman. “No,” that was best to say for her safety. Zebian smirked, catching the glimpse of her reddened face as she lied. He caught her but he wouldn’t say anything. “Fair,” “Take off the robe, whore,” It was directed to Thea. She flinched and took off the robe with shaky hands, still kneeling. “Stand up in the corner and keep your eyes on us,” He commanded and without a blink away, Th

17Her face turned blanched. Renai cocked her head over her shoulder, feeling Zebian’s lips contacting her cheeks by the movement's impact. She gulped and side-glanced at his attached lips through her eyelashes. The couple’s noisy kiss heated her nape that slinked to her cheeks. A shudder snaked down her spine. Why were the couple doing this and most notably why were they watching them?And as if Zebian had heard her thoughts, he softly chuckled against her cheek and placed a peck on it, permeating pinkish dust on the surface. “Eyes on them, rose. They are here for you,” He whispered in her ear with closed eyes and shoved his nose in her cheek to turn her face back toward them. His fingers drew circles on her clothed dip of the waist. Renai nervously frowned and shuddered over his words, forcing air down her chest as it congested, She raised her gaze and saw that man was sucking her lips like a greedy hunter and she quietly sate his need. Embarrassment clawed her throat, she flipped

“I…I…” Renai cluelessly roamed her eyes before tears got the best of her. She lowered her head and wept silently. The lady frowned and patted the boy’s back, clueing him to get inside. He looked up at her and blinked, walking away as per the order. The lady crouched on her level and put her hand on her shoulder. “Who are you?” This time, her voice was low and filled with concern. Renai sniffed and ascended her head. The lady’s eyebrows arched in distress when she studied her puffy eyes. “Pl..please, help me,” Renai pleaded.The lady squeezed her shoulder and pushed Renai to her chest. Renai, who was deprived of affection, fell into her embrace like a plague. The lady tightened her arms and warmed her cold body. Renai squeezed her eyes and sobbed in the crook of her neck. “You are freezing, let’s get you inside,” The lady said before pushing her up on her feet and leading her inside. Renai freely let her take in. Once she settled her on a sofa, she strode back to the door and locke

They went into the living hall and had cups of tea. Zebian was sipping on his tea when Meriall spoke. “I have been informed the king has elected a mistress,” Her eyes raised to hold him intact. Zebian remained unbothered. He knew this topic would be raised one day. “Is it true, your majesty?” She asked before sipping. “Yes, it is,” He nodded.“And she is new to this kingdom?” She threw a rhetorical question. He nodded calmly. “I hope you do understand the danger it brings upon the safety of this kingdom and above all yours. She can be anything, an assassin, a counterspy,” Meriall frowned with general concern. Her son had never looked at a woman before, let alone why would he choose a woman without letting her know. “I’m aware, mother. But let’s not neglect that I’m a king and no woman wants to die out of my hands,” He mumbled casually before gulping the last sip. “I am glad you learnt it but please stay away from her, I don’t want you to indulge with her,” He said and was about to
