"Protect the king!" Chad shouted far behind them, already raising his horse closer to them.
But, it was too late.
The horse threw him and he had a very bad fall.
"Nooo....!" Danika found herself screaming because she saw it happen.
The King's big body caught the arrow that was triggered when his horse stepped on the second trap.
An arrow shot him. And he just had a bad fall.
Chad already jumped down from his horse and was raced so hard with a fastening speed that would have surprised Danika if she wasn't so panicked at the King's fall.
Within seconds, he raced past them and reached the king. Danika already climbed down too and was fast on his heel.
King Lucien opened his eyes and groaned. Then, he closed his eyes again.

She dipped the rag into the bowl and placed it on the King's burning forehead. He stiffened, his jaw clenching....the same reaction they all got. "Yeah, right." Vetta snorted. "We shouldn't waste our time with her, Baski. I don't know whatever gave you the idea that he would welcome the touch of the daughter of the man that destroyed him!"

His eyes were closed, his face relaxed in unconsciousness. His scars drew her attention, she looked at the long line that ran down a cheek, giving him a savage look. Why did her father's sins have to haunt her? Even after he is dead? Why does this have to happen? The water is no longer as cold, she observed. Getting up from the bed, she took the water to the bathroom where she poured it away and got new cold water. She came back and resumed her seat. She dipped the wet rag inside and continued bathing his face and neck. Afterward, she checked his temperature and felt better when his face wasn't as hot as before. But when her hand touch

My Danika?Oh, when did she start dreaming this way? When did she start hearing words that were never said?Because she's very sure that the king can never make such a statement she heard. It's her mind playing jokes on her.She reveled in the feeling of the full weight of him on top of her and even though, he is so heavy he's suffocating her...it doesn't matter.Unbiddenly, her mind went back to that very night he took sexual pleasures from her body in this very position. Her body went hot all over at the memory.And she was also suffocating. She used all her strength and managed to push the unconscious king away from her body. She got up,

The nervous way her hand gripped her nightclothes, the flush of her cheeks, the flash of her eyes.His body has been reacting to her since he rose from slumber, but now, his phallus only hardened and lengthened.He doesn't know that a man could get this way even when he's unwell, and most definitely, not a man like him. What is it about her?His eyes on her, he noticed the imprint of a hand on her cheek. "Who struck you?"The question took her by surprise and her hand fluttered up that caress that cheek. "It's Mistress Vetta."He gave no reaction. "Why?"She shifted uncomfortably on the bed, "She...Uhm...she was angry because of what happened to you...bec

No man has ever done this to her before, his mouth on her made her skin burn.He let go of that nipple and to find the other one with his mouth. It was taut, hard, and aching. She felt it swell against his tongue.His mouth was wet, like silk, and he was rasping his tongue up and down, taking licks at her nipple.She tried to keep her response in check but what he was doing to her, drew moans from her mouth and made her ache further to his mouth.She didn't know when her hand went to his head to hold him to her.

It felt so good. This was so good.She slid up and down, taking long strokes that milked her muscles against him. Her eyes opened and she found his intense blue gaze on her.She took another stroke and saw what she was doing to him reflected in his eyes. There was no hate, no coldness in his eyes, but intense heat, pleasure, and desire.He likes this. He likes it a lot.It was a heady sensation, knowing how she can make him feel like this. That she can give him pleasure. That she can erase the pain of the past from his eyes...even for a moment.

Peace from a good night's rest, and pain from the wound in his chest.He was curled around Danika's small body, his arms holding her back to him, her breasts plastered to his chest.The way his body was hurting, he didn't want to wake yet. Didn't want to face the day. He didn't want to start thinking about his wound. About the man that haunted him even in death.Alone, he has no reason to keep being strong. To pull away from this soft body and start fighting the demons who lurked around waiting to devour his mind.He pulled his head back a bit to find the full softness of her breast and held it out to find her puckered nipple with his mouth.He laced his mouth on it and drew from her in gentle tugs.Shutting down all the thoughts from his hea

The king is a private person who loves his own company more than anything.

She took a few seconds to herself to watch him.His hand scribbles effortlessly on the scroll, his hair a mass of curls around his head, his jaw set in a hard line, and his brows knitte
