LOGINDaisy Several seconds after the front door clicked shut, no one moved.The silence Yvie left behind settled over the room like a heavy blanket, pressing against my chest until breathing felt like work.Just a few moments ago, the room had been filled with sharp words and accusations.Now, nothing.I stood exactly where I was, my fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of Caspian's oversized shirt.Caspian hadn't taken his eyes off the closed door and neither had Octavian. It was almost as though both of them were waiting for her to come back, but she didn't.Finally, Caspian let out a slow breath before turning toward me."...Sit down." His voice was quiet.There was no command in it, only exhaustion.I looked at him for a long moment before lowering myself onto the nearest sofa. The cushions dipped beneath my weight, but I told myself to not focus on it. Caspian remained standing for another few seconds before sitting opposite me and Octavian didn't leave. Instead, he leaned again
Daisy I forgot how to breathe.The woman's hand remained suspended between us, elegant and unwavering, while my mind struggled to make sense of the words she'd just spoken."I'm Caspian's betrothed."The sentence echoed through my head, refusing to fit beside everything I'd lived through over the past few weeks.Betrothed? What?Slowly, I turned toward Caspian and his face had gone completely rigid, but he wasn't looking at me.He was looking at her.Every muscle in his body seemed drawn painfully tight, like he was holding himself back from saying something he'd regret. Then, finally…"Leave.".The single word cracked through the room like a whip.His voice wasn't loud, and it didn't need to be. It carried enough finality to make even me flinch, but Yvie didn't.If anything, the corners of her mouth lifted ever so slightly."I'm afraid I can't." She shook her head slowly, a lazy smile sitting pretty on her lips "You've said what you came to say." Caspian hissed. "No." She folded
Daisy I woke to warmth.Not the kind that came from the morning sun filtering through the curtains, but the kind that settled beneath my skin and refused to leave.Caspian.His arm was draped firmly around my waist, holding me against him even in sleep, as though somewhere in the back of his mind he was still afraid I'd disappear if he loosened his grip.I lay still for several seconds.His breathing was slow and even, the steady rise and fall of his chest brushing gently against my back.Carefully, I lifted his hand from my waist and turned just enough to look at him.He hadn't changed while he slept.The same stubborn jaw, the same impossibly long lashes and the same face that had spent the last several weeks carrying more exhaustion than any person should.My chest tightened.He'd done all of it and he hadn't stopped.While I'd doubted him, while I'd believed the worst, he'd chased ghosts, he'd questioned old witnesses and he'd dug through decades of lies just to prove somethin
Daisy “Tell me what you did, Daisy,” he commanded, his voice a lethal, breathless rumble against my back. He delivered another heavy, punishing spank to the other cheek, making my internal walls clench and gush more fluid down my legs. “Say it. Tell me what you did and what you want your husband to do to you for it.”:“I kissed him!” I cried out, my tears finally spilling over as I gripped the wall for dear life. “I kissed Octavian, and I’m sorry! Please, Caspian, I want you to fuck me! I want your dick inside me, stretch me out, please!”Hearing the explicit surrender pass my lips, he reached under my stomach. He drove three long fingers deep inside my dripping pussy from behind, pumping me with a fast, merciless speed that hit my sweet spot with a heavy, wet thud over and over again. He didn't let up for a single second. His fingers stretched my tight walls while his thumb ruthlessly thrashed against my clit from behind, driving me completely out of my mind until my vision spli
Daisy My jaw practically hit the floor while my heart did a frantic, terrifying somersault inside my ribs, the blood instantly rushing to my ears with a deafening roar.Of all the things I thought he would say, best believe I didn't see that coming at all. “I..” I stammered, my hands instantly flying up as if I could physically push the accusation away. “Caspian, wait. I can explain..”“Explain?” Caspian interrupted, his voice dropping into a register so low and lethal it vibrated straight through the floorboards. He slowly uncrossed his arms, his massive frame shifting as he stepped toward me, closing the distance like a predator locking onto a target. “You kissed my brother, Daisy. What exactly is there to explain?”The lingering guilt and panic inside me instantly flared into hot, defensive defiance. I wasn't going to let him just corner me, not after everything we had been through. “I wouldn't have done it if you had just given me answers from the very beginning!” I shot bac
Daisy Silence had a way of becoming loud when you were alone.It filled every corner of my room, pressing against me until even breathing felt like an effort.I sat by the window with my knees drawn to my chest, watching the late afternoon sun stretch across the gardens below.I couldn't remember how long I'd been sitting there. Minutes, hours or maybe even longer, I wasn't sure anymore. All I knew was that everything that had happened over the past few days kept replaying inside my head like a story I couldn't escape.I thought about Elias, my parents, Caspian, the accusations and the kiss.I squeezed my eyes shut.I'd spent so long chasing answers that I'd somehow forgotten how heavy the truth could be.A soft knock sounded at the door before I could think further. I barely reacted but another knock followed and then the door opened.I looked up as Caspian stepped inside. He didn't rush toward me and he didn't call my name either. He simply closed the door quietly behind him.S
Daisy The impact of his lips against mine was jarring. It was a violent collision of heat and desperation that knocked the breath right out of my lungs.Goosebumps slid down my spine, but the moral and more reasonable part of me fought him instantly. I planted my palms against his wet chest, pu
Octavian Daisy eventually fell asleep, but not all at once. It happened in pieces.First her breathing steadied against my chest, the sharp pain in the bond dulling little by little beneath my hands. Then the tension slowly drained from her body until her grip on my shirt loosened completely an
Caspian The second Daisy’s pain spiked through the bond, I knew something was wrong. It wasn't anger, nor was it the usual heat and chaos that always erupted between us whenever we got too close.This was different, this felt like something breaking.I straightened abruptly from the desk in my
Caspian The second Daisy stepped into the study, everything changed, and the women noticed immediately.The one perched against the edge of my desk pulled her hand away from my chest like she’d suddenly realized she was touching something dangerous. Another straightened slowly beside me, her ex
