Sixty Four

Caspian The second I saw Nathan’s hands on her, something inside me went feral.I didn’t look at Daisy first, I couldn’t. Instead, my attention locked entirely onto him standing too close, touching what was mine like he’d forgotten where he was, and for one dangerous moment all I could see was blood.Nathan noticed it immediately and his fingers loosened around Daisy’s arm at once, not out of kindness, but instinct. Every predator understood when another predator entered the room angrier, stronger and infinitely more capable of violence.Interesting.Fear looked good on him and perhaps if the situation were slightly calmer, I would have taken a picture. “She isn’t yours.” The words came out quieter than I expected, but somehow that made the corridor colder.Daisy stayed against the wall for half a second longer like she’d forgotten how to move while Nathan slowly stepped back from her, but it wasn't far enough. It was never far enough.Recognition hit me fully then and with it c

Daisy The entire walk upstairs felt wrong, not dangerous exactly, but sharp in a way that made my pulse struggle to settle properly. Caspian barely said a word after dragging me out of the corridor. His hand stayed locked around mine the entire time, firm enough that I knew escape wasn’t an option, but not painful.Still, the silence between us felt violent.Servants flattened themselves against walls as we passed. Nobody spoke, nobody even looked directly at us and somehow that made everything worse, because they knew.Everyone in this house knew something had happened downstairs.By the time Caspian shoved open the doors to his room, my nerves felt flayed raw.The door slammed shut behind us hard enough to rattle the walls and I jumped instinctively.Caspian turned toward me immediately and his eyes swept over me with terrifying intensity before he crossed the room in three quick strides and grabbed my wrist carefully.“Did he hurt you?”The question startled me enough that I bli

Daisy The moment my lips pressed harder into his, cutting off his hesitation, Caspian completely snapped. Whatever thread of restraint he had left disappeared into pure, unadulterated madness, and I took it all in like the little slut I was. He let out a low, dangerous growl against my mouth, his hands locking around my waist with a bruising grip as he lifted me off my feet and slammed me flat against the heavy oak door. The impact jolted through my spine, but the pain was instantly swallowed by the white hot rush of adrenaline flooding my veins. His hands found my bodice next, and he didn’t just undress me, he tore the elegant, formal party dress straight off my body. His fingers hooked into the expensive silk neckline and yanked downward with a brutal ferocity. The fabric shredded with a loud, violent rip, the ruined gown pooling around my ankles alongside whatever high-society expectations had just humiliated me downstairs.“Fuck.” He muttered the moment his eyes fell on me. “

Daisy. For the next couple of seconds, Caspian remained buried deep inside me, his heavy, solid frame pinning me flat against the plaster wall as our shattered breaths filled the sudden silence of the room. I was trembling uncontrollably, the aftershocks of the climax still rippling through my thighs, making my muscles twitch around his thick length.He didn't just pull out and walk away. Instead, his hands stayed heavily anchored on my hips, his fingers digging into my flesh as he slowly, agonizingly slid out of me. The slick, wet sound of his exit echoed clearly in the quiet space, making a soft whimper catch in my throat. Before my shaky legs could give out beneath me, Caspian hooked his arms under my knees and hoisted my exhausted body into his chest. He carried me across the dark room and collapsed with me onto the heavy mattress, pulling me down into the tangled dark sheets.For a few minutes, the dirty talk faded entirely, replaced by the sound of our heavy, quiet breathing

Daisy For approximately five minutes after I woke up, I forgot everything. I forgot about the dinner, Nathan, and the whispers Basically, I told myself that all of those things were gone. The morning sunlight on the other hand, spilled through the tall windows in soft golden streaks, warming the dark sheets tangled around my legs. The room felt unusually quiet, the kind of silence that only existed after storms.For the first time in days, maybe weeks, I wasn't waking up afraid.I wasn't bracing for rejection, or judgment, or loss. I was warm, safe, wanted and believe me when I said it was the best feeling in the world. My eyes drifted toward the man beside me and Caspian was still asleep. Or at least I thought he was.His dark hair was a mess against the pillow, one arm thrown lazily across the mattress where I'd apparently spent most of the night curled against him.Looking at him now, he felt different somehow, softer almost and even less terrifying, which was probably its ow

Sixty Nine

Caspian I would rather have been upstairs, not in the council chamber, not dealing with Elias and not listening to complaints from people who spent most of their lives believing politics was more important than loyalty.The thought followed me the entire walk down the eastern corridor.I would rather have been in bed with Daisy tangled in my sheets, Daisy safe, Daisy asleep and Daisy away from all of this.Instead, I was walking toward a meeting that should never have happened, because Elias only moved without consulting me when something had gone very wrong, or when he believed I had.The East Hall sat at the far end of the estate. It was private, sound proofed and exactly where important decisions were made. Usually that was a good thing, but right now, my senses were picking up on something else. The heavy doors stood open when I arrived and the only reason that called to me was the fact that Elias wanted this confrontation.Good, so did I.I stepped inside and the room fell

Daisy The longer Caspian remained downstairs, the worse my imagination became.It had started as concern, then concern became anxiety, then anxiety became a full-blown disaster spiraling through my head at alarming speed.I paced the length of the bedroom for nearly twenty minutes before finally giving up.Caspian had told me to stay put and naturally, that lasted about five minutes after he left because I couldn't help it.Everyone could see it, and I'm sure everyone would understand too. The emergency meeting bothered me, because everything about it felt wrong.The timing, the secrecy, the fact that Elias had called it without consulting him, the fact that Caspian looked genuinely unsettled when he left.That more than anything, because Caspian didn't get unsettled. He got angry, dangerous, protective and even annoyingly stubborn, but not unsettled.I wrapped my arms around myself as I walked through the quiet corridors. The estate felt different today. It was too quiet and mo

Daisy My hands wouldn't stop shaking. No matter how tightly I gripped the letter, no matter how many times I reread the same lines, the words refused to change.I stared at them again, then again and again, as if repetition might somehow produce a miracle.It didn't.Instead, the ink remained exactly where it had been, and the summons remained exactly the same.Two days. I had two days to present myself before the council, two days to prove my worth, two days before strangers decided whether I deserved a place in a life I hadn't even chosen.My stomach twisted violently."This is ridiculous," I whispered.The paper crinkled in my grip as I scanned the page again, searching and looking for exceptions. There had to be something in here, conditions, loopholes, anything, but the harder I looked the faster I realized that there were none.The letter was precise and deliberate. Whoever had come up with this, definitely hated me and this letter was basically proof of that. Beside me, Oct

Daisy. The morning of my trial arrived far too quickly and it didn't help that I had barely slept the night before.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the letter and every time I drifted off, I heard Caspian's voice again.Everything.The word had haunted me for two straight days.Everything, not some things, not certain things but everything and by sunrise, my nerves were so frayed I felt sick.I stood in front of the mirror fastening the final button of my dress when I noticed my fingers trembling again.I cursed under my breath, then tried again, but the shaking didn't stop. I flattened my palms against the vanity, breathed slowly, counted to five, but nothing helped.Like I wasn't already going through it, another summons had arrived yesterday afternoon.It was short and cold, and it contained only a location and a time. There was no explanation, no instructions and no indication of what waited for me there.Just a simple statement informing me that my presence was required.As

Daisy The silence that followed felt worse than the failure itself.I sat frozen in my chair while the papers remained spread across the table between us like evidence of a crime. Nobody looked surprised or disappointed.They simply looked confirmed, as though the results had only validated something they already believed.“Lady Daisy.” The older man folded his hands.."Your historical knowledge is insufficient.""Your understanding of major families is incomplete." Another council member glanced down at her notes."You demonstrated limited knowledge of political customs and governance traditions." The silver-haired woman continued without hesitation.Each sentence landed like a stone. As they spoke, I stared at the tabletop, my confidence shrinking with every word."And your lineage records remain largely undocumented."That one hurt the most, not because it was wrong, because there was nothing I could do about it.I hadn't chosen where I came from, I hadn't chosen the circumstances
