“You are my ultimate fantasy, Alora,” he panted between thrusts.“Fuck!That’s right, clench around my cock.”
All sense of time evaporated.All I could see and feel was him moving in and out of me.My body succumbed to his, and I was lost as we both fell in unison.

“HAVE YOU EVEN SLEPT?”Nyx questioned while we were eating lunch.Darce was on a patrol with General Nox and Mrak.Well, that was what he told me, but I suspected he was up to something.“How many timesdidyou and Darce fuck last night?”
“It’s hisbirthday.We started the fucking a little early.”
“You don’t need a reason to fuck all night.You whore,” she teased, downing her drink.“I’ve never seen Darce last this long with a female.What is your secret?Do you stick your fingers up his ass?”When I choked on my drink from laughter, Nyx giggled along with me.
“Oh, I stick more than fingers up there,” I joked as I watched Nadine, Nisha, and Lisha make their way towards us.
“Are you all ready for the ball?”Nadine asked, running her hands through her wiry hair.“Darce turning a new century is definitely something to celebrate.”
“We’re under orders to help you get ready,” Lisha beamed, holding her hands out to me.
“Ready for what?The ball?That’shoursaway,” I complained.What was Darce playing at?

IT WAS STRANGE GETTINGready for the Noxlin ball.In many ways, it reminded me of the blessing rituals in Dallethas, where I would be bathed and pruned to perfection, but watching all the female Noxlins giggling and drinking with me, there was one difference.These females were my friends.They didn’t judge me.To most of them, I was some low ranking orphan that lived in a fishing village, but we were allequal.My birthright held no issue.I had proven myself as a warrior and won the heart of their prince.
“I think we are nearly done.”Nisha gave me an appraising look before herding the rest of my friends from Darce’s bedchamber.“Darce doesn’t want anyone else to see your dress until the grand reveal.”Ihadn’t even seen my dress.
“What grand reveal?”Shadows began to form in the corner of the room, and my lips curved into a smile as I watched Darce stand in front of me with the most exquisite dress I had ever seen.The gold embroidery of the bodice caught my eye first, and then the sheer size of it.I had no idea how many underskirts the dress even had.
“Darce has been planning this day for a while,” Nisha whispered in my ear.“Enjoy it.”Giving him a sly nod, she left.
“You know it’syourbirthday, right?”Tilting my head at him, I didn’t quite trust the grin on his face.
“Oh, trust me.This gift is mostly for my pleasure.”Undoing the ties on my robe, he pushed it off my shoulders, revealing my naked body.“Fuck, I want to take you so badly, but don’t want to ruin the twins’ work.”The conflict blazing in his eyes was clear.“Even in disguise, you are the mostbeautifulbeing I have ever seen.”
“Take me,” I purred, running my hands down his chest.“Think of me as a birthday gift.It’s all I can give you, but you have me completely.”Gripping me by my ass cheeks, Darce slammed me against the wall.I made quick work freeing his cock from his pants.He lifted my body and in one swift movement, he filled me.Not once did he kiss me.I knew it was because he was protecting my makeup.Instead, he rested his head in the swell of my breasts as he fucked me quick and hard.My body gave into his need, and all I could feel was him moving inside me until my coil sprang free.My climax set off his own, and he stilled for a few moments after, catching his breath.
“We’d better get dressed or we’re going to be late.”
“I need to clean myself first.”I pointed towards my sex that was dripping with his seed.
“Leave it there.I want you to feel it running out of your cunt while we’re dancing.It can be another birthday gift.”
“You never cease to amaze me with that filthy mouth of yours.”After helping me into my dress, Darce pulled my corset tight and tied it into place.Seeing our reflection in the mirror filled me with awe.We were the epitome of Noxlin royalty.The embroidery on my dress matched the design on Darce’s fitted tunic and trousers.
“I’m declaring you today,” he whispered in my ear as we made our way to the grand royal ballroom.I gave him a puzzled look.“My parents have their suspicions about us.I’m declaring that you aremychosen one.”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”Wouldn’t that draw more attention to us?We were still trying to work out the books of Elder World.
“We’ve spent the last seven hundred years hiding, Alora.I want everyone to know what you mean to me.”
Music began to float down the corridor.I knew the ballroom must have been near.This was all happening so quickly, I couldn’t keep up.Why hadn’t he told me about this plan sooner?
It was too late now as the grand doors opened.Every Noxlin in the room stopped and directed their eyes towards us.The king and queen were on the other side of the room.
Taking my hand in his, Darce began to lead me to them.The crowd parted, making a pathway.I took a deep breath and kept my eyes on the floor, remembering to take one step at a time.
“My son!”His mother greeted us first with open arms.“Who is this beauty you bring before us on your birthday?”
“Mother.Father,” Darce replied with pure confidence, “this is Lora,mychosen one.”The room behind us gasped.
