A Pauper (1)
Arriving at Cordon's main harbor, Darius and Xenia were quick to get ready as they hastily put on their clothes. She couldn't believe that she had passed out like that, but what's even worse was that her mate didn't even bother waking her up early enough to properly get ready.
"I blame you for this, you know," Xenia half-heartedly grumbled as she haphazardly put on her dress. "What would your citizens think once they see their potential queen looking like she just went through the ringer?"
Darius' silence almost made her actually angry as she hastily casted a spell on the both of them to mask their scent. To think that he was unapologetic about all of this was both infuriating and weirdly arousing.
"Darius? I'm talking here," she sighed. "I know you like it when I pass out from sheer pleasure, but at least put some effort in making me presentable as your potential queen."
