Golden Erotic Tales (volume one) (episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4)
single night
without having sex, not even when she was bleeding. It was during
her bleeding time that Eldrich indulged even more, going down on
her, licking her and drinking from her as if he meant to walk into
the sun at first light and cease to exist. Even now, thinking about
his tongue and lips inside of her, nipping, sucking, teasing her
sent a sensation through her which made her want to stop in her
tracks right then and there and give herself pleasure.
Yes, it had only been one night but bloody
hell, she admitted to missing his warmth, the way he spoke to her
during sex, commanding her to do what he wanted, pushing the limits
of their desires, but also responding to her wants, her
wishes.
    For the moment, just the moment , she
evicted him out of her mind and concentrated on her
mission.
It would take her one hour to reach the
castle and that’s if she didn’t pause for food and also maintained
a brisk pace. Before leaving Eldrich’s house, she had eaten her
fill of fruit and bread. Ever since the night she had spent with
Xavier fresh bread awaited her every morning in Eldrich’s kitchen.
Although she had told Xavier and his golden-haired lover, Zel,
never to cross paths with her or Eldrich again, she suspected it
was one of them bringing her breakfast each morning. And she was
grateful; she’d started to gain back some of the weight she had
initially lost when she first came to live with Eldrich and had to
rely on berries from the forest.
    When Eldrich saw how much
weight she was losing, he started sneaking into villages late at
night to steal pieces of meat for her. She was a princess relying
on a vampire and an angel to bring her food. For goodness sake, she had fallen
far from the King’s crown.
Thinking of her night with Xavier made her
body tingle just a little bit, maybe more than a little bit, if she
were to be truly honest. She had had sex with a fallen angel, never
mind that she hadn’t even known angels existed before she met
Xavier. And what’s more, had she refused to have sex with him, his
poor imprisoned and cursed lover would have died. Oh, yes, Lela had
considered giving herself the title of Witch’s Curse Breaker.
Never mind her outlandish, yet tasty time
with Xavier she centered instead on reaching the castle, a task
which was beginning to become quite arduous. With so many trees
down, she had to either climb over them or find another way around
them.
As she climbed down from the other side of
a tree, she noticed something shining through a pile of leaves.
Bending, she moved the leaves aside and upon taking a closer look
at the shiny material, she gasped. It couldn’t be! She was staring
at gold. She stood so abruptly she fell backwards and into the
fallen tree from which she had just climbed down. Pointy branches
dug into her back. Using her arms to push off the tree, she yelled,
“Bloody hell!”
    When she was once again
standing, she quickly scanned the area. Please don’t be here, please, leave me alone. She didn’t see the golden ball which gave her some
comfort. Taking in a deep breath, she sped through the forest,
jumping over branches and puddles and more than once nearly
colliding with a fallen tree.
    Ahead, the castle came into
view. From what she could see so far, nothing looked out of place.
She flew toward it. As she got closer, her stomach began to ache
and she considered turning and running back to Eldrich’s house. No,
she was not a
coward. And besides, despite her apprehension, her most important
concern was to know her father was safe.
Clearing her throat and swallowing, she
reached the castle’s grounds. Everything appeared as she had left
it. It was as if the storm had intentionally bypassed the castle.
Relieved, she exhaled a deep breath and massaged her brow. Then it
hit her. How did she not notice it sooner? The silence, the absence
of people, the castle was deserted.

Her heart in her knees, Lela ran through
the castle’s halls yelling, “Father!
