AURELIUS (Elvish Desire #1)

Chapter Seven

Miranda woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling, new white rays shine through a window and curtain. Her body hurts, every muscle in her body sore, it's as if she was beaten up by someone. She felt a constant throbbing pain deep, between her legs.

Then memories from last night return in a flash. She lost her viginity last night to a Dark Elf! Her eyes went to the other side of the bed, expecting to find a pair of violet or red eyes but it was empty.

'Did he just left?'

She sat up making the blanket drop to her lap and exposing her naked upper body. Her eyes went to her naked chest and noticed that reddish purple bruises littered there. A memory of him nibbling and kissing her there while he continuously moved his hips entered her mind. She felt that part between her legs starts to warm up.

'No, no, no! Stop thinking about it!' she shook her head trying to remove that image from her mind. Stress on the word trying.

Miranda's cheeks flushed and her hands quickly pulled the blanket up to cover her chest. She calms herself and assess the situation.

By this time, every elves in the castle would be already searching for her. It was her plan to spend the night with the Fortune Teller Elf lady in this cottage and then travel to the next town in the morning.

The marriage ceremony was scheduled to happen before noon so she had to go far away from this place before the Miavyre knights starts searching in the forest.

But first, she had to do something with this nudity. Her clothes were destroyed by the wild elves last night, if not for that Dark Elf she would be in a lot worse situation right now.

Her eyes scan and explores the bedroom. It is a small room, the bed is large that it occupies the majority of the room.

A wardrobe and a chair was placed on the other side of the room. Her eyes stopped to the chair. That black jacket and white shirt draped on the chair belongs to the Dark Elf last night.

He didn't left. Maybe he is peeing or something, which is good by the way because she didn't know what to say to him.

Last night definitely was not part of her plan. Miranda groaned. This is no time to be thinking about this, she should go out of this cottage and travel to the next village before any of his brother's goons found her.

Miranda shoved off the blanket and crawled down the bed, standing up is a struggle since her hips is killing her. She managed to walk towards the wardrobe and open them, pulling the first set of clothes that she saw inside and hurriedly dressed herself. She then walked around the bed and bend down to look for her ankle boots but didn't see it.

"I distinctly remember that I left them here..." she murmured aloud.

Then a hand holding a pair of brown leather ankle boots appeared on her left.

"You mean these?" said a very familiar voice from her back.

Startled, Miranda hurriedly backed away from the Dark Elf and stumbled. A strong arm wrapped around her waist preventing her from landing on her ass. Violet eyes meet green-brown.

"Are you okay?" he asks

Miranda can't find her voice at the moment and just nod her head. Her gaze went up, noticing for the first time that he's just wearing his pants and nothing else. His hair is wet as if he just took a bath. Then her eyes went to his wide, muscled chest down to his abdominal muscles.

'Stop staring!' she quickly averted her eyes, looking at anything but the elf in front of her.

"You were sleeping soundly that's why I didn't wake you up" his hands were on her either side to make her steady on her currently wobbly legs.
