LucianI was home attending to crucial matters. The Elders and the council were working my last fried nerve. The annual Fire Ball was coming up and I'd been away from the hell and horrors of the mortal realm of high school due to the preparations and all the duties that have come along recently. I rarely had the chance to see Bella anymore these days, but I was more than satisfied with seeing her smile and still enjoying her books underneath that depressing tree. Though, nowadays, she would be spending her time with the new boy on the block.But I didn't have the luxury to think about her or her worthless decisions right now.Recently, there has a been rise in riots in the northern part of the kingdom. I sent Megi and her troops to handle it, but they haven't returned yet. I sent Yuhan to the border of the East, Darchnia, to monitor the citizens. I really didn't need any distractions this time around the season. But, deep down inside, I knew everything would turn out okay because no m

Isabelle's POV I woke with a horrible headache. "Ugh," I groaned as I pulled the covers over my face. For the love of god, I couldn't think of a valid reason why I'd have a killer headache on this wonderful Friday.What's worse is within the next few seconds, my mom was banging against my door as hard as she could. "You're going to be late. Get up!" She shouted before going back downstairs. I felt so drained. I didn't even have the energy to get up. I slowly crept a foot out of the bed and then the other. I stood up and boy did I realize that was a mistake. I face planted onto the floor violently. "You ok, kiddo?" My dad yelled from below.I didn't even reply as I stumbled to get up. Holding my throbbing nose as I walked to the bathroom, I groaned mentally before brushing my teeth and washing face. I shut the light off and made my way to my dresser to find sweats and a tee. I felt like utter shit. I found a few painkillers and downed them in one go before sliding on a pair of sket

Isabelle"Why don't you have guards?" I asked while I walked around his well-furnished office, suspiciously glancing at everything I passed by."Because no one would dare to actually carelessly barge into my quarters," he replied."No one? Not even a bed-lady?" I rose an eye."No one except you," Lucian smirked, "Everyone knows there's a price to be paid if they disturb me."I shrugged. "By the way," he cleared his throat, "What's a bed-lady?" I could tell he was holding in a powerful chuckle while he watched me blush at the embarrassing question. "Well you know.." I stuttered, "one of those ladies that comes at night and gets in your bed.." I slowly crept to him."Yeah and what else?" He folded his hands together as his elbows sat on his desk."They do the only thing they know how," I stopped at the edge of his desk."Oh? Do tell, what do they do?" He smiled."They make your bed warm, of course," I winked.Like I'd ever be embarrassed in front of that man. The sound of his laughte

FridayIsabelle"What are you thinking about being?" I asked Jason."I'm totally the engineer type," he seemed to be trying to convince himself, "I can see myself all sweaty in some slacks and a white tee with grease & oil stains on my clothes while middle-aged women, married and single eye me down like candy. I'd be living the life!""Sounds more like you've watched too many chick flicks, bud. That's a scene right out of a movie," I retorted."Yeah, maybe all I'm missing is the towel that I'll use to wipe my sweat," Jason joked."Seriously though," I laughed, "Good point.""Another secret for you to keep," Jason mused."I don't have secrets," I refuted."Everyone has secrets," he said in a matter-of-fact tone."You think I have secrets?" I was seriously intrigued.He didn't acknowledge the question and opened his new book. "A bad boy that likes to read," I whispered, "still insane."~~

Isabelle:The flash of Lucian's smile came closer before I even had time to register what was happening. His soft, luscious lips pressed against my own and a shock ran through me. His tongue invaded my mouth, soon playing a game of domination with my own. The kiss was needy, but still breathtaking at its best. His hot hands held my face gently; I could feel his pulse and mine along with his, throbbing at my core. One hand slowly snaked its way around my neck and I immediately lost control of the kiss. I was being devoured and it felt so good. He gave me a sweet peck before moving to my neck. I couldn't control my breathing and I could feel myself pooling while he lightly sucked on my neck and soon his other hand was around my bottom, playing with the hem of my pants. "You're beautiful,' Lucian's husky voice seeped into my ear. "You smell so good."I was so caught up that I forgot we were in public. Panicking, i tapped Lucian. "Luce, I think we should stop," I said between a moan.
