Brittle Mask

Scarlet woke up on her bed as she noticed that the sun was at peak.Her body felt more refreshing than usual as a blush crept up her face remembering how gentle the lovemaking was.

But now her body felt cold due the lack of warmth beside her.Seems like her husband woke up before her for the wish she asked for.

She knew it was completely normal for him to do that.He has no need to stay cuddling with her till afternoon.

But a sad feeling welled up inside her,which almost made her want to cry.The loneliness of being alone never bothered her before.But today,the chill due to lack of her husband's body warmth was extra piercing.

She dragged her body to shower to get ready for day as her stomach was starving.

Scarlet entered the dinning hall as she saw the little girl that husband bought eating alone.Looking at her,it seems like her manners improved quite a lot.

Scarlet sat before her asking"Your name is raven right?Nice to meet you iam-".

Her words were cut off as Raven stopped her saying"I know who you are my lady".Shw stopped eating and bent her knee slightly down as she lowered her head saying"Its my pleasure to be in your presence".

Scarlet was taken aback for a moment at how peefect her posture was despite learning for barely a day. It made her wonder what the girl's background was.Its not like her husband is one of those deviants who prefer younger girls.That means the girl before her is also a piece of puzzle for her solve.

Raven saw the look on scarlet as she sat down to continue her lunch saying"No need to worry my lady. My background is completely unworthy.A survivor of a normal commoner family who died due to starvation and cold. As for what my skill is,you will eventually know in future".

Scarlet nodded along and started her lunch as her husband was absent from it too.

She turned to raven asking " Have you seen where Lord Adam is?".

Raven shooked her head and replied "no.But i was told by him that he will be busy the entire day and dont want to be disturbed by any means.".

Scarlet nodded along as raven stood up having finished her breakfast as she simply said one thing .

"My lady.The faster you drop your mask.The better your life will be".

Scarlet's body froze at those words as words failed to escape from her mouth.She saw raven exiting the room as she silently ate her food contemplating on the things that happened to her untill now.

Scarlet spent her entire day reading books from the library and was pleasantly surprised again at how good the library is compared to the one at the academy.

Its almost 9pm and she still didnt see her husband.Her body shivered again like an addict due to the absence of warmth of her husband.A small feeling of disgust combined with acceptance welled up inside scarlet at how pathetic she has become now.

She was like a pathetic teenage girl in love.She never expected her to be this much reliant on a man,especially after what happened.

A knock on library halted her thoughts as wilma's voice came from outside saying"Lord adam is waiting for you at the entrance mylady".

A smile formed on her face as this library was one of the places where only she and adam can enter.

She closed her book and followed wilma to her husband while crushing the feeling of happiness and giddy she slightly felt to meet her husband after an whole day.

Adam didnt say anything even after seeing his wife as he ordered her to sit in the coach he prepared even when scaret was embarrassed to go out in a slik nightgown.

But adam didnt cared for it as he applied stealth magic on the whole carriage as it rode to its destination.

Scarlet on the other hand was surprised again as the carriage has no horses.This type of carriage is only invented recently by the magic tower master and only 4 of these existed in the whole empire.

As scarlet was at awe at the abyss of secrets that is her husband,adam was having a hard time controlling his lust at how irresistible his wife is.

Her nightgown barely hid her body as it showed off a generous cleavage and hugged her figure smoothly.He want nothing but to push her down and ravage her in the carriage but stopped himself as the time would eventually come where she submits herself willingly.

The carriage finally came to a stop as adam held his hand to guide scarlet as she nervously stepped out in fear that some peasant will see her body.

But luckily for her,the entire street was empty as she recognized the place.She turned back expecting blindly lights and a busy shop but was only met with a abandoned building devoid of any light.

Adam invited her inside and scarlet followed him in awe at how empty the building looks.After looking down the place with a barrier,adam hugged his wife from behind and nibbled on her ear asking"Do you like the gift?dear".

A flush of excitement rushed in her body as scarlet asked"what about the employees?".Her husband simply said"Dont know.Dont care".

Scarlet felt excitement that she forgot a long time ago as she motioned to a counter and asked"The girl working there have a sick sister in the hospital and this shop was her only income".She pointed to another counter saying"The boy who worked there was barely afford food before employed here".

Scarlet was expecting some sort of answer from her husband but Adam kissed her nape sensually saying"Why are you rambling unnecessary things my wife.You asked me and i delivered it like what a good husband does. Do you like it or not?".

Scarlet's body was now tingling in excitement as adam's hand roamed her body.Its been a while since she felt the familiar sensation that she was experiencing.

Power.

Power that is cruel enough to ignore empathy.

Power to trample over others.Power that cant be extinguished easily.

Power that she can use to protect herself.

Scarlet pushed adam away as he was confused at how forceful she was.

She gently walked to the main counter while swaying her hips seductively as she sat on it facing adam.She sensed that a barrier was already in place as she gently loosened the thread connecting her nightgown togeter.

Adam didnt need more invitation as he was already at boiling point from the moment his wife entered the carriage as he approached her between her legs as she wrapped her around him.

Scarlet pulled him down by his collar and planted a deep kiss on his lips which adam hungrily accepted.They made out fiercely on the table with only the moonlight as their witness in the empty abadoned shop.

Scarlet gasped in pleasure as she felt her lower lips opening up as adam's member pierced into her slowly.

Adam removed himself from the kiss and smiled at her saying"You look very delectable honey.Hope you dont mind me devouring you in this flithy place".

Scarlet was gasping in excitement at the moment as the lust and power went to her head.She was not a slut who opens her legs to anyone in power.

But knowing that her husband is powerful enough to do the task she requested him without empathy made her excited.

Adding to point that the shop was protected under special circumstances.

It was the pride of a wife and offering herself to her husband for reward was not demeaning at all.

Scarlet simply hugged his closer using her legs saying"I dont mind dear. It is my first time feeling this much excited.Devour me to your hearts content".

Adam showcased a rare smile which shocked scarlet at how genuine it was as he started moving in and out of her vagina.

This was now wat different than what they did last night.

Last night was pure lovemaking that eased her body and mind.

But now,love was almost absent as lust took over them as they fucked like rabbits in heat.

The excitement was too much for scarlet as she orgasmed rather fast with minites into sex.

Adam bent down and planted another deep kiss on her lips as he also unloaded his semen deep into her as scarlet moaned into his mouth feeling it swirl around in her womb.

As adam was about to remove himself,he heard a small whisper saying 'I love you Dear' as he frantically looked back to see scarlet sleeping soundly.

He lifted her **** body into his arms and whispered into her ears saying"I love you too Scarlet.And iam looking forward to see how fast i can break completely.Sweet dreams my dear".

He exited the building and used a spell to burn the whole thing down and entered his carriage to go home.

As the carriage left,a small human shaped shadow emerged from the shadows of the fire as it ran north with a destination in mind to report to her lord.
