The pairing is supposed to give you your perfect partner. A divinely chosen ordained pair. 
Most nobles forced into the pairing end up matched with a commoner and disowned by their families. Emmeline had come to accept this. 
The neglected youngest daughter of an overly ambitious father, she had accepted trading her life of luxury for a chance to finally be loved.
However, everything goes wrong when she is paired, not with a commoner, but Cassius Marcellus. The nephew of the King and sole heir to the powerful Marcellus duchy, who was forced into the pairing to show royal support for the ancient ritual.

Emmeline quickly throws Cassius and his parents' plans into chaos when she refuses to be quietly discarded. She was promised a perfect partner who would love her, and that is what is going to get.
................................

Cassius opened his eyes slowly, his nose still only inches from her's. "Emmie." He slowed her worrying, reaching up to press a rough palm to her cheek. "It's fine." She waited a few seconds to check he meant it, before kissing him again. She moved slowly, as if wanting permission as she lifted one hand up to rest on his good shoulder. He chuckled, meeting her lips and humming happily against her mouth.
"I love you too." She finally admitted between kisses.
Cassius paused, pulling back to see her fully. "You mean it?"
Emmeline nodded, suddenly embarrassed. His answering smile was triumphant. "I will make you the happiest grand duchess this kingdom has ever seen." He vowed, kissed her hard before she could reply.

One Day More - a Sartorias-deles fanfic by micamoney
44 parts Complete
Iris Theren has grown up in a small town near the Niam River her entire life. Composed of under 200 people, you'd think residents would know who she was, but her parents have made that impossible, going so far as to not even report her birth when it occurred twenty-three years ago. Cetus and Cassiopeia Theren at one point imagined themselves to be esteemed members of the court, but they overheard whispered questions regarding their loyalties to the crown. Thus, they left Remalna-city years before Iris was born. Their resentment and dislike of the Renselaeus family traveled with them. In their minds, it was the Renselaeuses who caused their fall from "grace" and "good-standing." Only a minor detail that no one truly liked them in the first place. From the moment they left Remalna-city--from the moment Vidanric Renselaeus ascended to the throne with his wife, Meliara Astiar, at his side--they quietly plotted their revenge. Alaraec Renselaeus, firstborn of Mel and Danric and crown prince of Remalna, has now seen twenty-four name days. The exact year the prince is traditionally determined to be old enough to take up some of his royal duties...including finding a potential bride. And thus Cetus and Cassie perceive the moment to strike has finally arrived. NOTE: The setting, history, a couple of the characters, and some of the concepts in this particular story are inspired by Sherwood Smith's novels Crown Duel and Court Duel. One Day More (working title) occurs twenty-five years AFTER the conclusion of Court Duel, basically an alternate future outside of Smith's Remalna's Children novellas.

She replied, her voice equally as monotone. "Aye, I am." He nodded, "But that is not why you stare." "I do not stare with pity if that is what you are suggesting." She quipped, "I have seen enough pity in my life I would never put that upon anyone else." "Yet still you stare."

In a world of monsters, is it possible to find the beauty in each other? Ice melts... Power ignites... Bonds forge... Just in time to clash with the impending storm on its way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I think you have lost your mind," Soren suddenly muttered. Then it happened: Annika grinned. A glowing warmth lit inside, heating her cold interior. There was something extraordinary about the simplicity put into a grin. The anguish lessoned, and suddenly anything was possible. Surely the sky could fall if Annika could smile? "What makes you say that?" She asked as she continued her movements. The grin acted as a soothing balm on her aching heart. Annika might've been crazy to become so easily uplifted by an everyday facial expression, but crazy seemed like a much better term to be than slave. "Only a lunatic would approach me in my slumber." His eyes remained shut, and he didn't object to her petting, so Annika didn't stop. "Well... you wouldn't know if you were asleep?" "Mmm," the sound vibrated like a guttural hum, "I awoke the second you entered." "Did you?" Annika asked as she turned her head to study his face, but this time, his eyes were open, revealing those beautiful pits of colorless depths. --------------------------------------------------------------- (WARNING: MATURE CONTENT OF ALL KINDS *EMPHASIS ON THE ALL PART*) Highest Rank: 48 (thanks to you beautiful creatures)

A Devil's Angel by Xiran4

Before I could second-guess myself, I stood up and kissed him. His face immediately lit up and he lifted me up and spun around with me in his arms, like his little princess. I couldn't help but laugh at that little stunt. "So what now?" He asked. "Well, you have been blessed to call me yours," I replied, smiling sheepishly, finally admitting to my feelings. "And you get to call me yours," he continued. "Yeah and that too," I said jokingly. "Come here," I pulled him in for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss. My fingers went wild, caressing his hair as we took each other's breath. His grip tightened around my waist, not wanting to let go. I then gently bit his lower lip, signalling enjoyment. His lips kept up pace; who knew an angel's kiss could be this fiery? A raging fire is building more inside, creating a flame that might introduce an angel to sin. How can something that is created by the heart feel this good-a feeling that I thought was just a hoax-turn real and control me in such a manner? How can a kiss created from something I thought was foul taste this good? My hand was moving all over his head, exploring freely. It was like all the books and knowledge in the library faded away and it was just the two of us, lost in each other's embrace. In that moment, we discovered a world of emotions, a universe of unspoken promises. The kiss was a sign of a new adventure. When we finally pulled away, we were both breathless and grinning like fools. "Wow," he said, still clinging to me, "that was amazing." "I agree," I replied, kissing the top of his forehead. "I could stay here with you forever," he confessed, looking deeply into my eyes.

"You think you have such a smart mouth, don't you?" She said, so sweetly. So quietly. So deviously. I crossed my arms, the muscles in my arms jumped and strained against the sleeves of my red shirt. "I don't think. I know." "Ooh, poor boy. Suffering from brain injury already. It's alright. I'll let you live your disillusionment." Unable to take it anymore, I bite out. "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry?" "You are acting like I didn't touch your pussy last night." • • • Top naval aviator Zaid Edris has weathered every storm, both in the skies and on the ground, with unwavering precision and strength. A man defined by his principles, his family has always been at the core of his existence.
