Member-only story
“She was suddenly enveloped in his warmth and everything from his scent, to the contours of his body were attacking her senses. Her heart could burst from the joy of being so close to him. He began to trace the planes of her face and slowly, achingly his hands explored her entire body, all the while undressing her.”
The Duke of Exeter has hidden away from the town and spent his life searching for the gaze from his dreams. The dreams haunt him and it is this haunting search that leads him to a thief in a market in Florence.
Sousan has learnt to be cautious of men but the strange foreigner is one who has made her feel anew. She is mesmerized by the silver hair and the dark eyes, but, to the Dark Duke’s surprise she is not afraid of him.

HE STARED into the water of the lake he had so often come to, he changed here. The moon was full, any minute now. He felt warmth at his bare back, he turned sharply, no one was to approach this clearing. A low growl was reverberating through his chest and then he saw her, she was shining with an ethereal light; she wore no clothing but that of her glowing skin. His breath had left him; the curse had frozen. He could feel the effects of sorrow wane.
