My 'pillow' felt very firm... It had a pleasant smell to it. A musk scent that made me feel like I was in a forest, inhaling the fresh air and rain scent. It reminded me of the guy from back then.
"Ethan." I said as I hugged my 'pillow' tightly.
"My name is Orisis, Treece."
My eyes shot open and he stared at me with a smile on his face. He smirked at my flustered face.
"Good morning, Treece." he said kissing my forehead.
I shrieked as I tried to push him away. My face felt hot and he...he pulled me close to him. His hands were around my waist, preventing me from escaping him.
"Let go of me." I shrieked as I tried to get out of his grasp.
"But that's not what you said last night." he stated as he showed me his bareback.
I screamed shocked. He was naked and showing me his bareback NAKED! I could see his BUTT!
"Sit down!" I shrieked embarrassed.
His back was filled with scratches. He had deep scratches on his shoulders. I looked down at my nails and my clean nails were covered with a small amount of blood.
I had sex with him. I did it with him voluntarily. I... I did it on my own accord!
Mulled over in my thoughts, I didn't realize that he was staring at me. He had a grin on his lips... It was like he was admiring me. I glared at him before looking down at myself.
I was NAKED! I was naked with love bites on my body. My thighs were covered with love bites and it shocked me. I got up from the bed and walked towards a mirror. My neck... My collar and my...my chest were covered in love bites.
"Why did you do this?" I asked embarrassed.
I was embarrassed by the fact that I willingly slept with him. I did this to myself. I shouldn't have allowed him to kiss me!
I shouldn't have given him that privilege!
"It's not like I'm a stranger." he spoke as he wrapped his hands around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder.
I flinched at his sudden touch. I didn't even notice him walk towards me. I tried to loosen his grip on my waist, but he just pulled me closer placing a kiss on the back of my shoulder.
"Orisis, let go of me." I ordered.
"Who is Ethan?" he asked, ignoring me.
"He's my lover." I answered.
His grip around my waist loosened and I pushed him away from me. He had a robe on while I was naked. How nice of him.
I walked towards the sofa in the room and picked up the robe that was on the sofa. I wore it before he decided to do anything.
"Where's Ethan?" He asked with a smirk plastered across his lips.
"Why? So you can kill him?" I asked him, sarcastically.
"Sounds to me like he doesn't exist." he commented.
"And how would you know?" I asked him as I folded my arms.
He stared at me before chuckling. He walked up to me and pecked my lips. He then walked away leaving me confused and astounded.
"What must happened?" I asked myself.
I sat down on the sofa and tried to wrap my head around what happened. He was like a summer cold yet like a hot winter. It was like he was a Golden Retriever yet a Dobermann.
A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts which made me flinch.

Orisis Evans
Waking up next to her felt like HEAVEN. It felt like the missing piece from my life finally came back to me. Her in my arms with the rosy sweet scent that was coming from her hair made me drowsy and crazy for her. The build of her petite body was engraved into my mind like a prophecy written on a stone.
"Good Morning, Your grace."
I turned my head to see Agnes staring at me with a smile.
"People really do change after they get married." she said laughing.
"I don't know. I've always been like this." I voiced out proudly.
"You shameless boy!" she said as she hit me on the arm.
"You never walked out of your room in a robe." she added shaking her head.
"There's a first time for everything, Agnes." I told her as I stuck out my tongue before jogging to the guest room.
No one could ruin my mood. I had woken up next to my wife and she said something very interesting that I had to look into.
"Ethan and Bellatrix." I said to myself smiling.

One year ago...
"You look hot." a voice said.
I turned my head shocked and amused to see golden brown eyes gazing at me with a smirk.
"My name is Bella, Bellatrix." She said smiling.
"Ethan." I uttered before taking a sip of my whiskey.
"Wow! You look hot and you have a sexy voice." She spoke out.
I checked on my drink by what she said. I looked at her and her eyes were filled with curiosity and amusement. She showed so many emotions through a mask. It amused me.
"You are very outspoken." I told her as I placed my drink on the counter.
"I have to be. After all, you probably used to do girls fawning over you." she explained walking towards me.
I chuckled amused by what she said.
"What is it that you want?" I asked her.
She grabbed me by the collar and kissed me. Her kisses were a bit sloppy but it piqued my interest.
"I want you tonight." she answered as she pulled me away from the party to the special rooms.

Humming I got ready and walked back to my room. Today I was introducing her to my aunt, Teresa Silvers. My aunt couldn't attend the wedding because of her work but I promised her I would introduce her to Treece.
I arrived at my room and I knocked before entering. Treece was sitting in front of the mirror while a servant girl did her hair. Treece had a navy blue dress on with yellow patterns at the waist and the bottom of the dress.
"You may go, Florance." She told the servant girl.
I snapped out of it and sat on the sofa. She turned herself and stared at me.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"You of course." I answered.
She glared at me as her cheeks turned red. I laughed staring at her cuteness.
"My wife is so cute." I stated.
"Why are you like this?" she asked in a dejected tone.
"I'm sorry." I said as I got up from the sofa.
"There's somewhere I want to take you." I added as I walked towards her.
"Where do you want to take me?" She asked glaring at me.
"I want to introduce you to someone I respect." I answered.
"The king?" she asked.
I laughed holding my stomach and she frowned.
"No." I answered still laughing.
"Then who?" she asked curiously.
"My aunt, silly." I answered as I leaned down to kiss her head.
"Oh." she replied flustered.
I laughed at her and she glared at me.
"You are very beautiful." I compliment kissing her head again.
"Stop kissing me!" she exclaimed.
"How can I stop giving my wife affection." I asked her.
"Did I ask for it?" She asked back.
"You don't have to ask for something you deserve." I answered.
"I don't want it." she replied.
"Let's go eat and go meet my aunt." I said ignoring her reply.
She scoffed and walked out. I followed behind her and we went to the dining room where Agnes was.
"Good Morning, Your Grace and Madam." She greeted us.
"Good morning." Treece said.
Her voice was laced with a question. A question she was itching to ask but chose not to ask.
"I am Agnes, the head maid and Duke Evans's childhood nanny." Agnes explained.
"Oh. It's nice to meet you, Agnes. I hope you will take care of me." Treece responded with a smile.
I stared at her shocked. She was genuinely smiling with Agnes. I smiled at her subtly because I didn't want to tease her any further today. I was happy that she wasn't hostile to the people here.
"The chef has prepared a splendid breakfast for both of you." Agnes told us.
"We hope that it meets your taste." She added.
"Thank you so much. Please let the chef know that I appreciate it." Treece responded.
I pulled out a chair for her and she sat down while I sat next to her.
"Aren't you supposed to sit there?" Treece asked amused.
"It's only me and you here, why would I sit so far from you?" I asked her.
"That's because it's where you are supposed to sit." She answered.
"I sit where I can look you in the eyes." I said leaning close to her.
"Ahem."
I turned my head and saw Arthur staring at us.
"Your Grace, Madam." he greeted.
"Arthur, it is early and I haven't even had breakfast." I said trying to get him to leave.
"you never ate breakfast in the mornings." he mumbled.
I glared at him and he raised his hands in surrender before saying.
"I seem to have forgotten something at home."
