Her Past

"How is she now?" Exhausted, lost, orgasmed and content. There were so many words that came to Damien's mind when he came out from the room. 

But he did not speak any as he walked to the chair and sat there.

"The lady had disappeared after breakfast. It was already dinner time. If she did not return, there would be rumors." Ian added carefully as he followed his master.

He knew there was something wrong and it had nothing to do with Harold or the plans Eve had made to hurt him. 

"Your grace, did the lady know about your curse." he asked carefully, as there could not be any other reason for their strange behavior. 

Damien's lips curled into a hollow laugh. Full of mockery and exhaustion.

"If only, it had been this simple. I would have handled her, convinced her to be with me even if she had refused." The sign that escaped his lips spoke volumes of the trouble they were facing but Ian could not name any except.. The child?
