Zora
“You need to see her, Zora. She is practically glued to him. She served him breakfast and whatnot. She hasn’t said anything to aggravate anyone. I see she is on her toes,” Kara said, laughing heartily.
Glenda’s pain would be a pleasure, especially for me, because she was the one that encouraged Shanon to come and get my man knowing that he wasn’t available.
“Nellie is shoving Neva in there; you know she invited her to stay at the duplex during breakfast,” Kara said, and I widened my eyes. I missed a lot by not eating breakfast with everyone.
“Yep, it was hilarious because Abelardo told Neva during breakfast that they would love to have her around. He even smiled at her,” She said, and I laughed. By then, I had finished dressing up, so we headed out.
Since they had already had breakfast without me, I decided to eat.
I wondered where Darius was, and I decided to link him.
“Where are you? I woke up alone,” I complained.
“Sorry darling, I had to attend an emergency meeting via a conference call in the home office,” He responded.
“Is everything alright?” I asked him, and he was silent.
“I am afraid not, but I am trying to put it under control.” He said, and I became nervous.
“May I join you in the office?” I asked, and he was silent a bit.

“I am almost done. Marcel and Theo are here. I promise I will tell you everything before we leave for the games,” he said, and I became worried.
I did not know what was going on, but it seemed serious. I could feel it.
I decided to eat in the kitchen.
Eloise and Neva joined Kara and me, and I was happy to see Eloise glowing.
“I hear you will be staying with us,” I told Neva, trying to get my mind off what Darius had just said. I needed to take the advice I had given to Kara and not worry. Whatever the matter was, it must be serious.
“Yes, Lady Nellie asked me to stay and keep her company,” Neva said, and Eloise laughed.
“Her or Abelardo?” Eloise asked, and we all laughed. Neva’s cheeks coloured, and I realised she might like him.
“I mean, he is hot,” she whispered, and we laughed.
“Do not let fang lady hear you say that,” Kara said, referring to Glenda. Neva rolled her eyes, disgusted by Glenda.
“She just won’t leave him alone for a second. She is with him all the time…” She said, and I smiled.
“He isn’t a baby, Neva. He has to rescue himself from her. If he likes you, he will be the one to make a move,” I said, and she frowned.
“But you three did not wait…” She said, and I laughed.
“Oh, we did. Kara and Marcel clicked first, but Marcel was the one that went to her, then Darius and me; I mean, I could not resist. Then Eloise, whom Theo practically persuaded. The only difference was that they weren’t attached then,” I said, and Neva nodded as if she had learned

“Do not copy us, darling; follow your heart; some men require that push. Abelardo might fall under that category,” Kara told her. I wasn’t surprised that she would give her an impatient idea. She had always been the least patient of us three.
Just then, Glenda strolls in with a glass of water in hand. She greeted us respectfully, except for Neva, and we knew it was on.
The moment she left, we laughed. Honestly, if Glenda had to do so much to keep Abelardo from Neva, she would have lost the battle because she shouldn’t have to do anything to keep her man. I could have beautiful women in the same room as Darius and me, and I won’t be bothered because I know he loves me and only sees me and no one else.
We talked about other stuff, and it was noon.
“Where are you?” I heard Darius’s voice in my head, and I was alert.
“In the kitchen with the ladies,” I replied.
“Meet me in my office,” He said, and I closed the communication between
- us.
I excused myself and went to his office.
I entered, and Darius looked troubled. He came towards me and crashed his lips on mine, kissing me as if I was the air he needed to breathe.
I could feel his anxiety and his need. Something was bothering him. Whatever it was, it was serious, and he was trying to calm down.
He kissed my neck, but I doubted he wanted foreplay.
I felt the anxiety, too; there was no need to be a gentleman about it. I would always want him anywhere at any time.

Turning me against the wall, he reached under my skirt and rolled down my panties. Holding my hand above my head against the wall, he rammed into me and pumped gently.
Cremin was distraught.
“Hard and rough,” I moaned, and he increased his speed, needing that release that would relieve his anxiety. His mood wasn’t great, but I enjoyed it too much to say anything. He moved me from the wall to his desk and bent me over it, ramming hard and fast. He wasn’t gentle anymore, and I was enjoying it because he was hitting the right spot. He was consistent, and I came. I came hard and fiercely, and he followed, emptying himself in me. Then he pulled out gently and kissed me. His eyes were misty, and I did not know what to do.
“Darius, what is the matter?” I asked him, feeling satisfied.
“I didn’t want a war,” he said, and a tear escaped and rolled down his cheek. I held his face and let him place his forehead against mine.
“Breathe,” I told him.
“Breathe and relax,” I said, and he closed his eyes and did as I had told
him to.
He moved away from me and sat on the couch in the office.
“The council called, and half of the north do not want me as their lord anymore. They still want the council, but they do not want to have a lord. They have sent a petition,” He said and bowed his head.
“I have two options, Zora. Either be an evil bastard like my father and force them to remain under me via war, or hear them out and lose the battle because I know this is some people’s doing. I need to find the traitors before this gets out of hand. Someone is actively working against me and the system,” He said, and I understood his dilemma.

“How long do we have?” I asked him.

“Eight months before the hearing, but we both know that is too small of a time.” He said, and I nodded.
“I need a book of the northern Laws and constitutions. There should be something in there that could help us cancel this nonsense while searching for the culprit. With Kara and Eloise’s help, I will read it faster. I am sure we can keep their hand. These people are manipulating the laws for their sake. It is time we start doing so, too,” I said, and he looked at
- me.
