From Ritual To Romance Novels & Stories

“There’s a ritual that could stabilize the bond between you and Rigel.” “That’s great, isn’t it?” I said, though her tone suggested otherwise. “It’s not simple,” she replied, flipping open the book to reveal a page covered in intricate runes. “The ritual demands a sacrifice—either your freedom, binding you completely to Rigel, or his life force, which could weaken him permanently, maybe even kill him.” The air seemed to grow colder as her words settled over me. “There’s no other way?” I asked, my voice trembling. She shook her head. “This bond wasn’t meant to exist, Daniel. It’s unnatural. Dangerous. It’s already starting to consume both of you.”

I lifted my hands to his chest, pressed against the warmth of him, and whispered, “I love you, Ethan. I’ve always—” He quieted me with his lips. A slow, sensual kiss that was full of morning, full of sunlight, full of home. The way he kissed me now wasn’t rushed or needy. It was almost...sacred. The kind of kiss that seeps into your very soul and stays there. I wrapped my arms around him, pressing against him as if I could never get close enough. “I’ve been dreaming of this,” he whispered between kisses. “Of you in my arms like this. No walls. No fear. Just us.”

25 March 1820 Rome, Italy Jacob was lounging on a chair and Mrs. Valentina Lombardi, the most sought after courtesan in Rome was sprawled on his lap, her lush body pressed to his as she tried to coax a reaction out of him. He knew all the other men watching him envied him. But for the life of him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for the act. Instead of finding her perfume enticing, he found it cloying. The smoke from the cigars made him feel suffocated.

“It sounds less like wishing and more like an intense willing. This book seems to indicate that you must will it enough that you don’t need to put it into words, because rituals don’t understand spoken language—just your emotions, your desires. And there’s always a price, as well—lost limbs, organs, aging, even a life. Apparently, the only way to get around that is to do a separate ritual to establish a sacrifice, a sort of proxy, though even creating this proxy can cost you.” Loretta scowled. “That book’s ancient. It’s probably outdated! Hell with it, I’m giving it a try.” “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” I asked. Now that I’d read the books, I was not so eager for Loretta to attempt this

She reached out towards the flames, her hand held steady, her expression unwavering.

“Once we start, there’s no turning back.” She nodded, her eyes locked on his. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.” He let out a low growl, his hands sliding down to her waist as he lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his hips as he carried her toward the large, ornate table in the center of the room. The ancient texts were pushed aside with little care as he set her down, his hands gripping her thighs as he stepped between them. “The ritual requires blood,” he said, his voice a low rumble as his lips brushed against her neck. “Our blood, mixed together. Are you ready for that?”
