~Back in WesborneIt had been up and down for Freya since Elric's mother and Aunty came to stay with them. The mother had been very nice and friendly to her, she even liked to involve her in conversations and small talks. The only problem was his aunty. She didn't like her because she wasn't from a noble home. She believed she was a dishonour to their family name. She had even considered leaving once, but Elric persuaded her to stay. He reminded her that he owned the house, and not his aunty. He also never failed to defend her in front of the woman. The last time, he threatened to send her away if she should mistreat Freya again.Right at that moment, Freya and the Duke were together in the kitchen, making dinner for everyone, as the servants were still not back. She discovered that he liked cooking. In fact, he found pleasure in doing simple tasks, things a man of his status would not even think of.She still wasn't free with people touching her, but her mind kind of an exception for

Raziel moved his hands sensually along Luciana's waist, eliciting a reaction from her. She tried to wiggle out of his hold, but he held her in place with one hand. His other hand left her waist and began to roam freely along her body, pressing on her breasts before moving downwards. Lord! Luciana already felt het body reacting to his touch. She cursed herself for how easily it was for him to affect her. In fact she was not even resisting at all. Raziel then reached for her dress, wanting to take it off. But he didn't seem to have the patience to do that, so he tore it in the chest area, revealing her breasts."Raziel!" She tried to stop him, but her voice betrayed her. She sounded so breathy as she called his name. It even served to fuel the lust in his eyes. "How exactly do I fix you when you are..." She trailed off when he took one of her peaks, rolling them between his fingers. "...like this?." She managed to complete her question, even though it came out as a moan.She decided t

Freya wiped his cheek with the back of her palm, her heart clenching in pain, seeing him like that."You are not human, Duke Elric." She stated, and his body seemed to tense. "If that is your secret, I don't see any reason you should hide it." He laughed, but it was a very sad laugh. "We live in a supernatural world.""How did you... Know?" It even seemed like it was painful for him to speak. Whatever was happening to him, whatever this pain was, she needed it to stop. She placed one of her fingers over his mouth, stopping him from speaking."I know you can see in the darkness. I know you can hear from afar. Those are not very human-like features, are they? That day I found your room where you kept your weapons, you located me easily. You were not even in the mansion when I entered there, but you knew I was there. You could even see the expression on my face in that dark room, you knew I was nervous. I know that you are not human. So what are you?"It was the night of a full moon, if

Dahlia was momentarily taken aback, and she was unresponsive for a few seconds. But then she went on her knees to be on the same level he was. His lips glided slowly and expertly over hers, savouring her flavour and the softness of her lips for the first time. His hand tangled at the back of her hair, tugging the locks gently, but firmly. Dahlia felt sweet tingles, and flutters in the pit of her stomach. At that moment, she was experiencing some kind of euphoria she hadn't experienced before, her whole body jolting awake and alert. But still it wasn't enough, she needed more. All the pent up frustrations she had had with him came at her in a flood of desires, even surprising her.The deep masculine groan that escaped his throat told her that she was not the only one feeling frustrated. They both needed more from each other. They had teased themselves for too long. Dahlia pulled out of this kiss, her brain hazy. She got up and began to undress, while his gaze remained steady on her,

Freya could not bring herself to say anything for a good one minute. Her brain took its sweet time to process everything he had told her. Elric looked at her and smiled, understanding her turmoil."You probably see me in a different light now." He stated, schooling her expression. He then took a slow sip of his wine. She nodded. She had always known him to be calm and kind. But now, she was beginning to think that he was also a dangerous man. His calm nature, making him even more dangerous."Honestly, yes. You are not as simple as I thought you to be. But I don't respect or like you any less." She confessed. "Perhaps even more."He smiled. "That is good to hear.""You didn't want to kill the prince of Durville at that time, but you were willing to kill him during the short war you recently fought?" Freya inquired. She had of course asked him about it, especially since she found out that he was Luciana's husband."That was war. I am supposed to kill my enemies. He happened to be the l
