--Completed-- "Why are you following me?" "I am free to roam anywhere within Barracks, am I not?" "Aldaire will be displeased if he sees us together." He grins, leaning in close to whisper in my ear. "Will he? Last time I checked, you two are merely playing a part." I place a finger on his lips, acutely aware of our proximity yet taken aback by it all. "Don't utter such things. They can hear you." "So it is true. I wasn't present that day, but Himley made sure to fill me in." There's no need to persist with the charade, but if I concede too readily, I'm not fulfilling my role adequately. This is going to be challenging, especially given his annoying demeanor. "I don't know what you're talking about. Aldaire is a noble man." "Then how do his lips taste?" Hiccup! "That is none of your concern, sir." "Why do you take offense? It was an innocent question." "It was not! I am inebriated. Why are you pursuing me? And be honest this time. If you intend to kill me like the rest, I'll make things easier for you." His silence prompts me to look up. His lips are drawn into a thin line as he glares at me. "Do you hold me in such low regard?" "I don't know you," I retort. "That is why I am here. We can acquaint ourselves with each other." His laughter reverberates in the empty space, prompting a grin from me. It makes me blush at the thought. Perhaps it's the alcohol causing me to hallucinate, but the idea of someone vying for my affections is amusing. "I relish challenges, Lady Leizabeth. Give me some time, and you'll see." "I don't understand why." "Because you are a fascinating woman. The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew I had to get to know you." **In the journey of life, we stumble upon love twice. The first shatters your heart into countless fragments; the second conjures up the power of the universe to piece it back together. **

ᴀɴ ɪꜱᴇᴋᴀɪ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ -: ̗̀➛ Awakening in a world beyond her own, she finds herself in a body she doesn't recognise - shattered, bruised, and bearing the name 𝒩𝒾𝓇𝓋𝒶𝓃𝒶 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒹𝒾𝓈 𝒮𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇. In this perilous new reality, survival becomes her only focus, as she grapples with the stark truth: her only power is what she can seize to protect herself. Powerless and alone, Nirvana's plans are born from sheer necessity rather than careful strategy. With nothing to her existence but a name and a broken body, she must forge her own path, uncovering the dark secrets of this world while clinging to the fragments of her former self. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and yet slowly but surely, there are those who would kill for her and those who might die because of her. But 𝒜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓍𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓃𝑒 is neither ally nor enemy - he is an enigma she cannot ignore. Once a boy of striking beauty, his fleeting, tender glances hinted at a curiosity she barely acknowledged. A decade later, he has transformed into a man hardened by the ruthless pursuit of the crown, his once-soft gaze now a burning desire that defies reason. His obsession with Nirvana is both relentless and terrifying. His pursuit becomes an unyielding storm that threatens to engulf them both, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in its wake. What should be his undoing instead drives him deeper into madness, convinced that she is his by some cosmic right. Nirvana knows she should resist, that allowing this dangerous dance to continue could spell ruin for them both. Yet, the dark allure of his obsession, the haunting sweetness of the chaos he brings, draws her in against her will.

"I need to teach you a lesson for defying me," Beau says, and in an instant, my leg on his thigh drops down beside his. He puts his other hand on my waist and lifts me off my chair. I land perfectly on him, and my eyes widen once I feel him against me. "Yes, darlin, you are the reason for it, and you are going to satisfy it tonight." "I'll do no such thing," "Oh, you will, and you are going to enjoy it" He places a kiss against my shoulder, and my eyes close as he begins to grind me against him. A moan escapes my lips, but Beau spanks my ass hard the second it does. "Don't moan out, darlin. You don't want anyone to hear us," he says, putting his hand into my dress and caressing my ass he spanked. "Do you?" he asks, kissing my neck and burying his head in my chest. I shake quietly as pleasure surges through my body from his hand and mouth on me. "Good girl" He begins to grind my hips faster against his hard length. ****** Delilah Stephen is a young architect trying to make it independently without Daddy's help.

Once we are alone, he turns to me, "We need to work on your acting skills. How can a commoner be such a bloody awful liar? Don't you learn that when you are infants?" "Oh, I'm sorry I don't lie for sport like you lot! Last I checked, it's the ones with the sticks up their arses who are so brilliant with deceit and after seeing your performance I know it to be fact! I've never heard such shit! As though I hold any regret, for telling that fancy prat anything, ha" I call back. Now that we are alone, I no longer require restraints as I let my temper run wild. He does something that takes me by utter surprise. He literally grabs my lips and pushes them together. "Don't you ever shut this mouth of yours!" I move my hands to his chest, trying to pay no mind to the heat radiating from him and give him a great push, shoving him a few steps back in surprise. "Don't touch me! Agh!" I let out before taking a breath, and with a little less force I add, "the King bought it didn't he." "Barely," he grunted. My head snapped back at him, I was fuming. How could a man make me so incredibly angry with just a few words? This must be the great charm of the Prince, I hear so much about. #310 in Historical Fiction 10/2, #347 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 1/5, #291 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 5/18, #239 IN HISTORICAL FICTION, #232 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 6/23 #160 in Historical Fiction 1/29/18 , #131 in Historical Fiction 4/3/18, #121 in Historical Fiction 4/4, #108 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #89 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #87 Historical Fiction 4/13, #66 Historical Fiction 4/22, #60 Historical Fiction 4/25, ----- Currently going through some major revisions 1/27/2018
