The Bargain of Blood and Fate The story begins in a world where kingdoms exist not only in political power but in the shadow of ancient magic. The novel opens with the perspective of Princess Hazel, daughter of the King of Decresh, a kingdom ravaged by internal fears and external threats. Hazel is no ordinary princess-she is smart, skeptical of courtly life, and deeply attached to her younger brother, whom she protects fiercely. Hazel's kingdom is politically unstable, and the king-driven by ambition and desperation-strikes an unlikely alliance with the feared and mysterious Kingdom of Decresh's northern ally, led by the infamous Lucian, the so-called Son of the Devil. Whispers abound that Lucian is not merely powerful-he is supernatural, born of darkness, with powers that no mortal should possess. Stories describe him as cold, cruel, and inhuman-possessing a terrifying aura and unmatched strength. Some say he sold his soul; others believe he never had one to begin with. To solidify the alliance, Hazel is forced into an arranged marriage. She is to become the bride of Lucian, a man she has never met, only feared. Despite her pleas, her father remains unmoved. He believes this is a noble sacrifice to save the kingdom-and to be fair, he's right in one sense. But for Hazel, it is a betrayal. Hazel departs her homeland in a heavily guarded carriage, escorted through dangerous mountain passes. She is filled with dread, her imagination running wild with images of a demonic husband who might consume her soul on their wedding night. Her fear is not just of the unknown-it is of the very real magic that lingers in the air of the northern lands. Her arrival at the castle marks the next stage of the story. Decresh is a place steeped in gothic splendor-black stone halls, whispering winds, and hauntingly beautiful architecture. Hazel is greeted not with warmth but with cold stares and veiled hostility. Servants fear Lucian; others avoid speaking about him altogether. The castle feels more like a prison than a palace. Then, she meets Lucian for the first time. Lucian is not what she expected-he is tall, striking, with piercing eyes that seem to see into her soul. He does not act like a monster. Instead, he is composed, controlled, almost dispassionate. But his presence is overwhelming, and his power is palpable. He does not mistreat her, but neither does he comfort her. He simply informs her of their impending marriage, lays out the rules of the castle, and leaves her reeling. Hazel's first days in the castle are suffocating. She is watched, limited in her movements, and treated with suspicion. Yet she begins to notice that the fear others have toward Lucian is not entirely unfounded-strange events happen in his presence, and his body seems to radiate something unnatural. He never eats in public, and his moods shift with eerie unpredictability. Despite everything, Hazel refuses to be cowed. Her spirit-one of the most compelling aspects of her character-emerges as she begins to assert herself. She explores the castle, challenges the staff, and tries to uncover the truth behind Lucian's origins. Rumors abound: that he has lived for centuries, that he was cursed as a child, that he communes with devils. Hazel begins to wonder what is myth and what is fact. She also meets some of Lucian's trusted confidants-most notably Pierre, his loyal advisor, and Ivy, a maid who becomes Hazel's closest ally in the castle. Through these relationships, Hazel begins to piece together a fragmented history of Lucian's life-a past filled with betrayal, loss, and a legacy bound to dark magic. As the wedding day approaches, Hazel and Lucian begin spending more time together. What begins as an awkward co-existence slowly shifts. Lucian, though distant, shows glimmers of compassion-especially when Hazel is threatened or disrespected. She witnesses his temper but also his restraint. He defends her in subtle ways, though he never speaks of affection. One night, Hazel stumbles upon Lucian in a trance-like state, his body engulfed in fire-like shadows. She watches in horror and fascination as he returns to normal, unaware he was being observed. This is the moment Hazel realizes: Lucian is not just metaphorically linked to the Devil-there is actual power coursing through his veins. The wedding finally arrives. It is a grim ceremony, held under the cover of night. Hazel wears a black dress, symbolic of mourning rather than joy. Lucian does not smile. Vows are exchanged, and Hazel becomes his wife in title-but there is no warmth between them. The union is a political pact, not a romantic celebration. But from this moment onward, Hazel is no longer a prisoner. She is a queen in the north, a symbol of alliance-and, perhaps, a woman capable of changing the fate of a man caught between light and darkness. What she does not know is that her presence is already beginning to change Lucian. Unbeknownst to her, Lucian's demonic powers are not permanent.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

If you're not up to eighteen, this book is not for you. Get ready to be intrigued. To feel. To...sin. ---------- “I made myself tight for Big Daddy,” she leans up and whispers in my ear. “Every morning and night, I clenched it really tight, released, clenched, released…” As she says the words, her pussy performs the actions until I’m panting into the space between us, shudders wracking my body. “FUCK,” I growl, sparks blinking in front of my vision. “You’re going to get it now, little girl.” All I can do after that is make her lose her mind. That’s the only way to define it. I shove her legs open on the bed and do exactly as I threaten. I rail her like a dog, slamming my cock in and out of her wet blonde cunt. She screams and claws at me, begging me not to stop, rocking her hips up to meet my hectic drives, my grunts loud enough to be heard in the room next door, along with her calls of my name—and in this moment, I want that. I want everyone in this hotel to know I get to fuck this supple nineteen-year-old. I want them to know she primed her pussy for me so it would be extra snug. And I can’t believe my luck. Whether I’m paying or not, I can’t believe she’s allowing my big, hairy body on top of her smooth, tiny one for a single second. That she’s not only spreading her legs for me, but she’s also moaning with pleasure, not put off by my aggression at all. No, it’s making her hot. “Harder, Big Daddy. Punish me.” I’m not sure how I stop myself from ejaculating. Maybe it’s the intense need to stay locked inside her perfection for as long as possible, but somehow, I hold back. Long enough to pull out of Lia and flip her face down, yanking her hips up and back into my lap. I re=enter her with my purpling cock, our flesh slapping madly as I raw dog her from behind, employing not a hint of gentleness. She doesn't want gentleness, either. Not my girl. She tilts her hips back and asks for it harder. Faster.
