When he was close, and I was about to shatter at my climax he had held me, steadily increasing his speed and as I reached my peak and shuttered beneath him, as my pleasure washed over me. He came, pulling out and spilling before me.

I remembered the conversation I had with him.

The one asking him to court me properly. To introduce me to his family. To ask for my hand. The proper way of things. The way he said that he could not. Not yet. Brushing me off and ignoring my requests. The days after flooded by into weeks and weeks into months. The days I would see him, and he would not make eye contact were the hardest. But he always came that night. The nights were his, and sometimes it left me feeling dirty. But I was enamored with him, wrapped up in the pleasure we shared.

I was his secret.

That last night surfaced; the night had been warm. The moon was full, lighting out way as we walked along the stream and toward the Ebony Wood. I hesitated at first, my fear taking over my body, but it was his kind words that convinced me to follow him. The forest closed in around us as we stood below one of the trees. I remembered the way he held me close to him, his lip on my forehead then a soft kiss on my lips. That was the night I finally told him, the night I said those three words.

“I love you”I whispered.

His lips crashed down on mine, then my neck. My breasts had become full and heavy with arousal. I remembered wanting to give myself to him again and again, over and over. Letting him take me in every way I could imagine. Letting him claim me as his. Because I loved him.The way his hand pulled at my skirts lifting to find the slickness between my legs, the rumble in his throat and the smirk on his face.

Our tops had gone, torn off in a moment. His lips fierce as he reclaims mine, his bare chest flushed against my skin as he dropped his pants. I recalled how his hands found their way to my thighs, lifting me up, pushing my skirts back.

My core throbbing and in need of him as my legs wrap around his waist, my hands gripping his shoulders for support. The moment he lines up at my entrance, teasing me before pushing in. A breathy gasp escapes my lips, his full length was completely sheathed to the base. Allowing me to adjust around him before taking me against the tree, my head thrown back in ecstasy.

The bark biting into the skin on my back.

He nipped at my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. The moan on my lips, then again when he finally pulls away and takes a breast in his mouth. Sucking and flicking my nipple with his tongue. I remembered how he placed a single kiss on my lips, pulling out and lowering me back to the ground atop the earth, his face above me as he re-enters. The chaste kiss he takes from me to silence my moan. The trees and forest creatures our only audience. The moon shining down on our union as we give into our desires.

He groans as he pulls out and slams back in, the sensation building in my core. One hand on my lower end to lift me as he drives down, another hand on my breast as he palms it. My hands in his hair as he slams into me over and over before reclaiming me and groaning into my mouth, his tongue seeking to claim. To claim all of me.

I succumb to the pleasure as I open and allow him in. My moans as I am pushed closer to release. The two of us, I once thought in love, tangled up in each other's arms. I could still feel his hot breath on my skin as he dips his head, burying it in the crook of my neck and the bite he left there. A mark, his mark. I’d wrapped my legs around him, allowing for deeper penetration. The love I had felt for this man, the way he made me feel. I had no idea he would shatter it.

Our desires flared and built as he pulled out and slammed back in harder, his hands braced on the ground above my shoulders. The kiss I had reached up to place on his jaw as I whispered his name. The climax of our love making ringing through the woods, our breaths mingling as we both reach our peak. The final push of ecstasy as I arch into it and tumble over the edge, my breasts peaked against the warm breeze...

My pleasure washed over me in waves. His release had been seconds behind mine. His groans still ring in my ears, I could still feel his hand as he placed it on my hip, holding me in place as he pumps into me, faster, harder, deeper. The feeling of my climax as I came down from a euphoric high. The feeling of wholeness again, his final push as he empties inside me. The first and last time he ever does. I recalled the way the moment ended. The way my world ended, the way he looked upon me with contempt afterwards. My heart lodged in my chest. It was the hateful look in his eyes as he pulled away and the harsh words he spoke to me, redressing himself.

“I think you and I both know this was not going any further than this. It’s been fun Serra. Making you fall in love and then taking you.”He looked down at me, his eyes raking over my naked chest, my disheveled hair, the pinkness to my cheeks. My swollen lips, like he was cataloging me, Storing it away for the future. Before his eyes land on my skirts and my folds, the wetness that remained there from him.

His lips pulled back in a sneer,“Each and every time.”

The tear had started to fall, rolling down my cheeks and into my hair as he walked away into the darkness. Leaving me half naked and soiled. The wetness he left running down my leg from his climax. The awful truth of what we had just done, what he had just done. The consequences and fear of it flooded me with dread. I re-dressed myself quickly and rushed back to the cottage, my face stained with tears as I encounter Nona waiting. The moon and stars watched as my world fell apart.

Nona...

Another fissure breaks and scatters over the dark hollow, as the memories of her came to me. The enchantment broken as everything flushed itself back to the front of my mind. Every memory I had with him. Every memory I had lost. Somehow word had gotten out about us, days after our last tryst. About what we had done in the forest.

A bet between friends, his friends. Woo and conquer. I was his conquest and he had won. I had been demeaned soiled; an unmarried woman taken by another man. A man who refused to take me as his wife.

The same man that just walked in.

I wanted to flee, to run from this place, from this man before me. From his mother who knew nothing about me.

I wanted to escape the feeling of being laid bare, everything that had happened laid out before me. The dreams that I had wished for with him.

I wanted to go.

“This is Serra. She will be my special guest this year.” Lady Conwell spoke, pulling me back from the horrible realization that I had forgotten everything between her youngest son and me.

He bowed slightly at the waist, no hint of recognition or realization in his gaze. His eyes were utterly blank, schooled. He’d been good at hiding his feelings. His true intentions. “It’s a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Serra.”

The way he said my name sent a shiver down my spine. He knew. He had to know who I was, right? I couldn’t breathe, it felt like a someone was sitting on my chest. I had to get out of here. I had to end this meeting and get out.

“Isn’t she lovely?” Lady Conwell cooed.

“Absolutely just, Mother.” Kaston appeased. His eyes flicking away from me. “May I speak with you please?”
