***Completed*** Lady Jessamyn brought home a ten-year-old orphan when she was eight. He was handsome ^_~. She provided him with a place to stay and warm meals. As they grew up, she desired to marry him, despite their differing statuses. As war raged, he signed up for the military, promising to ask for her hand when he was worthy. Two years later, he became more than what he promised he would be. He became the Archduke of Ayberia. But he broke her heart by marrying her friend. Years rolled away; life happened. She married a man who loved her and fell madly in love with him. She didn't think of him again. But fate was cruel; she was widowed at the age of twenty-one. She lost everything. Seven years later, she met a mysterious wolf while she was out at work in the Archduke's fief. She had a fall. The next morning, she found herself on the Archduke's bed. Did fate bring them together again? Or something nefarious is at play? Is this a chance for a second love? Will she find out why he abandoned her in the past? Is it possible to rekindle their old love, or is it too late? ----- Join me in this journey. Your comments and votes are appreciated. Gift me to motivate me. Updates will be daily.
"Jessamyn, you should know… You are my world... Nothing else matters when I'm with you."
His voice was a deep, soothing melody that wrapped around her heart. Jessamyn closed her eyes, letting his words wash over her, a balm to her soul.
She felt his lips on hers again, soft yet demanding, rekindling the fire within her. The taste of him was intoxicating, the feel of his body pressed against hers an anchor in the storm of emotions swirling around them.
Her hands roamed over his broad chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart beneath her palm. Each thump was a reminder of his strength and the love that held them together.
"I'm all for you, Jerrick," she whispered against his lips. Her voice trembled with the weight of her unspoken vow.
I'm going to kill anyone who dares to come between us to hurt you, even if you end up hating me for it.
