This is a series filled with different short stories about lust, love, and most of all, sex.
You may have seen other books with this same concept but this is all my original writing and my original work!
This is marked at MATURE so no one under the...
I sighed heavily as I took in the elaborate dress I had on to greet my future husband. My father and mother, Samuel and Evangelina Berndotte, are the king and queen of Terre De Lumiere. It translates into Land of Light. My father became king at the young age of 21. He used to be fun and loving, caring of his wife and children. Now, he is nothing more than a shell of a man who wants more greed and more land. He doesn't care about us as much as he used to. He thinks of us as pawns to his grand plan. A plan where he has all the power in the world but no love on the side.
I heard a soft knock on my door.
"Come in," I call. The door opens and I see my longtime friend and handmaiden, Haru.
"Your parents request your presence. Your future husband is here." I held back the deep groan that wanted to leave my mouth. The man my father wants me to marry, Ramiel Howard. I have never met the man but his family is very wealthy and my father wants someone of high caliber to be at my side to rule over Terre De Lumiere.
"Yes, let us go." I gather the poofy dress and follow Haru out of my room. The dress is not ugly at all. It's stunning but I don't want to wear this to impress a man. The whole thing was white with gold undertones. It has a gold embroidered corset, gold embellishments on the skirt, and elegant puffy sleeves.

I follow her down the elaborate hallway and the stairs, and we stop at the dining room door. Haru goes in first and announces my presence.
"Princess Laila Lux Berndotte has arrived." I walk into the room and I see exactly what I thought I would see. My father sitting at the head on the table, my mother was next to him, my little sister Angelisa was next to my mother, with my brother, Zadkiel next to her. On the other side of the table was my future family-in-law. Someone just end my eternal suffering now.
I walk further into the room and bow to our guests.
"Laila." I look up and see my father gesturing to the seat next to, I assume, Ramiel. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and tell him to fuck off. But like the good, loving daughter I am, I walk over without a look of disgust on my face, and the man stands.
"Ramiel Angelo Howard. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person, darling." He grabs my hand and places a kiss on the back of it. Ugh, I could feel the nauseous feeling tangle in my stomach. Don't touch me.
"Laila Lux Berndotte. Pleasure." I take my hand back and sit next to him. On closer inspection, he's not bad looking but he has a bad feeling that I can't shake.
"Now, that we were all here, let's have lunch." Mother snaps her fingers and a herd of servers flood into the dining area. A salad filled with cucumbers, avocado, pumpkin seeds, dried cherries, tomatoes, carrots, and a zesty lemon vinaigrette was placed in front of me. For the main course, the women were served a basic lemon-glazed chicken breast, with a kohlrabi slaw and summer fruits. The men were served a 12 oz sirloin steak, with garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes, and steamed green beans. When Haru set down the plate in front of my father, I noticed his hand go up her thigh and she slightly flinched for not enough for it to be noticeable. To everyone except me.
