"Promise me..." He buried his face to her neck, "Promise me... you'll never leave my side."
The vulnerability he shows her, shocked her so much. She cannot imagine how difficult these last words must have been to come from a hard and powerful man like him.
Her throat cloaked up, but she whispered hoarsely, "I promise."
He looked up at her. Warmth filled his eyes for the first time in five years. He lowered his head again and kissed a small bruise on her neck.
"I will never forgive you if you break any of those promises, Danika." He stated softly but vehemently.
"I will never forgive myself too." She will never betray this man. Why will she ever betray him?
A man who has known more heartbreaks and emotional suffering than all the slaves in the whole twelve kingdoms, why will she ever be

One moment he felt like a man, and next, he felt like stone beside her.The silence that followed was nervewrecking.Then, "You should never worry about that. I have never given you to another man. I have never shared you before, and I do not have plans to share you with anybody." he looked her dead in the eyes, "So, that is not possible, Danika."Danika's heart flew right out of her. The king lowered his bead again and closed his mouth around her nìpple, he sucked and played with the other one.The courage deserted her at his reply, and the fear of what he'll do when he finds out doubled. She must be a coward because she can't tell him about it anymore.At least, not for today.She'll talk t

An insidious weakness invaded her system.Her eyes closed and her body trembled as she felt light sips taken from her mouth. His lips moved to her cheek, up to her forehead, and then to her ear. He kïssed all part of her face reverently.Her breathing fractured. Her hands slowly released their grip on her nightie, and moved to curl around his head. They kïssed for very long minutes.His hand cupped her soft brêast, moving so that he could feel the nipple hard in his moist palm. "So beautiful."Sally tried to breathe normally, but she couldn’t. Her hand went to his broad chest and moved involuntarily over the hair-roughened muscles.

Suddenly, she wished she never came here.She wished she never heard the incoherent mumbles, and she never pressed her ear so glued to the door to decipher the things they said. She wished she never got curious."Good night, Mistress." A maid greeted her with a bow as she passed.Vetta only glared daggers at the maid and matched right past her. What is so good about the night!?There is nothing—ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!—good about this night!Danika is right there inside that bedroom.The king drew sëxual pleasures from her body and sated himself on her. During courting season. Not only that, he is saying such ridiculous words to Danik she never expected him to say.Words she kept hoping the king woul

She knocked again and again and again.Finally, she heard footsteps and the door opened. The princess stood behind the door, and from the look of it, it doesn't look like she's been sleeping."What are you doing in my bedroom?" Kamara asked, surprised to see the mistress standing behind her door."I need you to come and see something." Vetta stated to her. The mistress looked a little smug too.Kamara crossed her hands. "Why would I want to go anywhere with you in the middle of the night? For all I know you might be a woman of bad mind and you would want to harm me.""Why would I want to do that!?" Vetta hissed. She didn't like the insult...being addressed as a woman with a bad mind."I do n

He prefers his slave to you, and this is your week. Tell me you do not feel disrespected.""I feel very disrespected." She conceded softly.That's something. Vetta nodded in satisfaction, "It's very bad for him to treat you this way. And Danika pretends to be your friend, but she goes right behind you and sleep with the king during YOUR courting week."Kamara said nothing to that. Instead, she resumes walking. Vetta followed closely behind her."So, what are you going to do about this?" Vetta urged her."I do not know. What am I going to do about that?" She kept walking."There are so many things you can do about that. The king dis

She had to untangle from the king and use the bathroom each and every thing, and when she gets back, he takes her right back into his arms—even with his eyes closed.They overslept. When they woke the next morning, the bighteness of the day was harsh inside the King's Chambers. As she stirred, his eyes opened too.They looked at each other in the light of the day. It is probably one of those times in life when time stands still. Danika's mind was filled with uncertainties.What will happen now in the light of the day? Will he go back to being so cold to her? Try to forget the events of the night before?"Good morning, My King." She whispered."Good morning, Danika." His voice was anything but cold. Just the voice of a man who woke up after a good

She found her on the woods with Remeta, picking a basket-full of herbs.They all walked together to the palace and back into Baski's bedroom. The older woman was livid and worried, but Danika went right ahead to explain what happened in the King's Chamber.She gave her the general reason, skipping the intimate memories she made with the king. Those are private and hers alone to cherish.She told Baski about the way he was so deep buried into the past, he almost lost his sanity with her. How she came close to telling him that she was pregnant and his response to that."Oh dear..." The older woman palmed her own wrinkled forehead, "I'm glad you withdrew when you did, I can't begin to imagine what would have happened to you if you told hi

Her belly is no longer as flat as it used to be, there's a slight bump to it.And while she can easily pass it up for something she ate, how does it she explain the hard surface of her belly?Karama's stay in Salem has protected her for long. She has spent time with the king outdoors. Taking walks, riding with him, strolling the lanes with him.She smiled at the memory. After that night in the King's Chambers, he has become freer with her. Closer to her.She has come to crave and enjoy every single minute they spend together.He hasn't taken sèxual intimacies from her again since that night, in respect for the Courting Week. They kiss a lot and she has even taken him into her mouth and sucked him occasionally, but they haven't had sèx since then.
