Dark Passion

Covetous

"My Lord we could not find the princess," informed the guard.

The ground trembled as these words escaped his mouth and the guard began to sweat and his heart skipped a beat in fear of his King's judgment. His lips moved again and words began to escape his lips, "My lord we will continue searching for the princess."

The guard trembled with fear yet held his ground. Suddenly a sword descended down crashing into the stone pavement. The color skin of the guard drained and turned pale as the once living guard crushed into the pavement. The king raised his hands towards a maid. She quickly came running towards the body and pulled the body out of the throne room.

Weight of silence hung in the throne room. The man sitting on the throne was deep in some thoughts and snapped his fingers. A young woman appeared in front of him. The king glanced at her with disdain in his eyes. He frowned and stared at her emanating his cold and suppressing aura around.

The woman dressed in a red dress that clung to her body showing every curve of her slender yet voluptuous figure, lust dancing in her eye and mind filled with excitement. Taking small steps towards the King sitting on the Throne, reducing the gap by an inch with every step she took.

"Why does it take this long to find a single person? It has been six months now and not a soul could find my daughter." Said the king grunting under his breath.

The woman stopped in her track. Wrapping her hair around her finger she stared at the man in front of her, with hunger and lust in her eyes she said to the King, " King Garat, it is like looking for a nail in a haystack. We do not know if someone is protecting her. I looked within my own kingdom and there wasn't any sign of her." She said bowing her head at the man before her.

The king tightened his fists with anger and frustration. His blue eyes darkened and he said, "What good are you then Mariah?" Saying this he stood up from his throne and started pacing across the cold stone pavement.

"Do you know how many men I have sent out in her search? Do you know how many kingdoms I have in my control and how many people are ready to replace you? I want a solution and you are not showing any results." The king shouted on her in anger.

Hearing the king accuse her and threatening her to replace her with someone else her erratic voice echoed within the hall, " My lord, you want to replace me? How can you say that? I can't be replaced. I am the one who got you where you are today. No other woman or man can bring you to this peak. Replacing me will only bring your downfall." Then she added while smirking at him, "Do you think I fear you! You need me more than I need you." She spoke her mind and stepped forward approaching him even more.

He glanced at the approaching woman, eyes filled with disdain for her and laughing at her inwardly in mockery. Seeing how foolish she really was he smirked at her. When she reached near him he grabbed her chin tightly between his fingers, looked at her face and stared coldly into her eyes before saying, "You need to find her. I will not let all my preparations go up in flames." Tightening his fingers even more on her chin in anger.

Mariah bit on her lips and stared at Garret in lust. As her slim long finger traced up his chest she whispered, "My lord, we will find her from wherever she is hiding. Have faith in me."

Saying this she wrapped her slim and long arms around his neck arching her legs onto his thighs. King Garret's eyes darkened and a glint of cold ray passed through them. He stared at the woman in front of him in disgust. He began to stiffen under her touch. The temperature within the hall dropped with the coldness he emanated and every breathing soul began to shiver in fear watching her bold moves towards the king. They started mumbling to themselves why that woman continued to touch their king.

"My Lord she won't ruin your plans, nobody will." as she whispered Mariah's body pressed against King Garret's body. She shivered in excitement and whispered in a soft voice into King Garret's ear, "Please don't throw me away my lord."

King Garret's brows arched up and he gave in to her desire. He ripped the hem of her dress and wrapped the cloth around her head concealing her eyes from his.

He ripped her dress exposing her fair body and skin to everyone in the court. Mariah shrieked in excitement and licked her lips seductively. King Garret stared at the woman before him and leaned closer towards her ears and whispered into her ears, "Mariah don't you dare disappoint me." as he pressed her body on the pavement floor.

Feeling the cold of the ground on her back she shivered and her words trembled, "I will never fail you, my king."

Hearing her words he lifted his head towards his guards and each man silently marched towards their king stripping themselves. One guard bowed his head as he leaned his lips towards Mariah kissing her lips. Giving his king the chance to remove himself away for the woman.

King Garret silently strolled to his throne sitting back with comfort as he watched his guards taking turns on Mariah. Only the sounds of moans of the men and her voice, moaning the king's name in pleasure and excitement could be heard in the hall. Only one thought is engraved in her mind at that moment, and that was a child from the man she truly loved and to be his Queen.

King Garret stared off in the distance with disgust in his eyes.
