A Special Surprise

Scarlet's face turned a deep shade of crimson as Jareth's intense gaze locked onto her. There was something about him that felt mysterious, as if he hid in the shadows, only revealing himself when his desires took control. It was a change that Scarlet recognized, and it intrigued her.

"Mate," Darcie's voice rumbled, sending shivers down Scarlet's spine.

With a mix of embarrassment and anticipation, Scarlet trailed her hand down her body, her eyes closing and her lips bitten. The act of touching herself in front of Darcie was both thrilling and mortifying.

"Open your eyes, mate. I want to see your beautiful eye," Darcie urged.

Scarlet obeyed, her eyes still locked with his as she continued to stroke herself, albeit at a slower pace. She could sense the inner turmoil within Darcie, but his voice broke through the tension.

"You are stunning, mate," he declared.

Her heart raced at his compliment, her cheeks turning as red as a ripe tomato. Following his gaze, she realized his gaze was fixated on her cunt.

With a squeeze, Scarlet elicited a groan from Darcie. Her hands moved faster, each moan that escaped their lips filled with passion and desire.

"I want you, mate," Darcie confessed, startling Scarlet and causing her hand to freeze on her throbbing center.

He silenced her with a forceful kiss before she could utter a word. Unlike Jareth's gentle touch, his lips were rough, leaving Scarlet gasping for air.

The rough kiss quickly turned aggressive as he moved down to her neck, his fangs protruding menacingly. Scarlet's heart raced with anxiety as she managed to call out, "Darcie."

At the sound of his name, Jareth snapped out of his trance. "Are you okay?" he asked, scanning her naked body.

Scarlet nodded, assuring him she was unharmed. She longed to ask questions, but silence seemed best for now.

Jareth breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her close, holding her tightly. As she rested her head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her.

Frustration boiled within him as he grumbled to himself, but Darcie remained silent in the darkness.

_How dare he?_ Jareth thought

Noticing Scarlet's steady breathing, Jareth saw she had drifted off to sleep. He smiled softly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Pulling the sheets over them to shield from the chill, Jareth settled in, still holding Scarlet close. Slowly, he drifted off to sleep, finding comfort in her presence.

The morning sunlight gently streamed into the room, casting a warm glow on Scarlet's face as she slowly woke up. Her eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was Jareth looking at her.

"Good morning, wifey," he greeted, planting a soft kiss on her lips. Scarlet blushed, feeling like this was the start of something beautiful.

Memories of the night before flooded her mind, making her turn away shyly and bite her lip.

"Are you feeling shy, wifey?" Jareth asked with a smile, trying to get her to look at him.

"Look at me, wifey," he said, gently lifting her chin. Scarlet met his gaze, feeling drawn into his captivating blue eyes.

"I love every part of you, even your shyness," Jareth teased, making Scarlet playfully nudge him. It was then that she realized her breasts were exposed.

She quickly grabbed the sheets to cover herself, earning a mischievous grin from Jareth.

As he got up and put on his trousers, Jareth said, "Every part of you is beautiful, wifey, including..." His gaze lingered on her now-covered chest.

"Go take a bath. We need to have breakfast," Jareth said, noticing the slight blush on Scarlet's face.

Scarlet's eyes widened in disbelief as she processed what she had just heard. It was her first time having a meal with Jareth, and she was completely caught off guard.

"Well, wifey, what are you waiting for? Or do you need my assistance in the shower?" Jareth playfully teased.

Scarlet quickly sat up, only to realize that her entire body was aching. She forced a laugh, masking her discomfort, and made her way towards the bathroom.

With determination in her eyes, Vera stood tall, gripping her catapult tightly. With a swift release, the projectile soared through the air, hitting the target dead center, scoring a '7'.

She grabbed another stick, her focus unwavering, and sent it flying once again, hitting another '7'. Frustration washed over her, causing her to stomp her feet in annoyance.

Turning around, she slapped her tutor, an elderly man, out of sheer anger. "Don't you even know how to do your job?" she snapped.

Her anger burned within her as she continued, "I can't understand why my father chose you to be my tutor, especially when he knows that the coronation for the future empress is just around the corner."

"Then learn it properly," her father's voice boomed from behind her, sending a shiver down Vera's spine.

She immediately bowed, her voice trembling as she stammered, "Why is father here so early in the morning?"

"Is that really your main concern right now? Can you even comprehend the fact that his highness spent the entire night in that scarlet room?" Amell, Vera's father, bellowed, his brows furrowed in frustration.

Vera's brows furrowed in confusion as she hadn't received any information from her maidservant about his stay in the scarlet room.

"And do you have any idea that he is currently having breakfast with that scarlet?" he continued, pulling Vera out of her thoughts. Shocked, Vera raised her head and then lowered it again. She clenched her fist, realizing that everything she had confided in Jareth about seemed to have no effect on him.

"I should have brought your younger sister instead, and she would have easily become an Empress," Amell shouted, shaking his head. He then turned to the tutor and commanded, "Increase her daily tutoring to eight hours."

As he turned to leave, Vera's voice interrupted him. "Father, there's no need to bring my sister into this. The problem lies not with me, but with his highness. He is simply impossible to please."

"Then you should put in more effort to please him. Scarlet only came a month ago and she has done a better job than you," he scoffed, cutting Vera off.

"Your elder sister would have excelled in seducing the emperor with her beauty," he added before storming off.

Vera's eye twitched, causing her hand to tremble and spill the blood she had painstakingly collected by peeling her hands.

Her maidservant took a step forward, but Vera pushed her away in frustration. Overwhelmed with anger, she began breaking the sticks one by one, her eyes turning bloodshot.

"What are you staring at? Do I appear pitiful in your eyes?" Vera demanded, her gaze fixed on the tutor and maidservant, who quickly averted their eyes.

Vera's eyes narrowed as she watched her maidservant and tutor exchange glances. She could feel the anger boiling inside her, but she refused to let it show. Instead, she flashed a confident smile.

"I think it's time I paid his highness a visit," Vera declared, running her fingers through her disheveled hair.

As she walked away, a mischievous grin played on her lips. "Just you wait, Scarlet. I have a special surprise for you," she thought to herself.
