‘Im happy that WTD added Sledge as an LI late in the series making the LI count to 5 I wish they could have done it for Olivia in TRR I mean they managed to get Maxwell to be an LI in Book 2 even though he is supposed to be a supporting character same with Open Heart so many women wasted I wanted either Esme, Kyra or Aurora to be an LI sadly they got killed on screentime for Ethan since the rewrite’
POSTS/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!
Drake stood in front of the full length mirror studying his reflection critically. The black suit, his new uniform, was simple enough at first glance, but it probably cost more than anything he’d ever owned in his life, his Jeep included. It was perfectly tailored to fit his body, yet still concealed the sidearm holstered to his hip. He tugged at the cuff of his crisp white shirt and ran his thumb over the shiny gold cufflink, emblazoned with the Cordonian Crest.
I can’t believe this series is ending!, I think I’m still in denial!
I got all teary-eyed during the Bastien/Drake scene. I’ve always loved their relationship and the pride Bastien feels for his surrogate son.
The scene with Olivia at the induction ceremony was priceless … I was laughing at Olivia’s bluntness, but woah she and Drake have some serious sexual chemistry! But Drake’s response to Livvy’s prying at their exclusivity, saying he was “exclusively into Liam,” had me swooning.
I did feel so bad for Liam though, but after it all he truly showed what an amazing man he is. I’m so excited for this next part @debramcg1106, yet so sad to see this series coming to an end. It’s honestly one of my favorite ones ever. Great job as always my friend!
Pairings- Drake x OC (Lilith Nevrakis), Liam x Riley
Book- TRR Book One
Synopsis- Lilith Nevrakis is the younger sister of Duchess Olivia, and the black sheep of her family. Drake Walker is the best friend of the Crown Prince. Lilith and Drake are similar in that they both prefer random hookups to relationships. Once they meet, something in each of them changes and they both realize they want more out of life. But is what they want, each other?
A/N- This pretty much follows the events of TRR Book 1, but this is an AU where Olivia has a younger sister and Riley is Maxwell’s cousin. The story alternates between Lilith and Drake’s POV, but not in first person.
Warnings- Language, Drinking, Sensuality, NSFW (there will be lemons!)
The next morning Lilith showered and got ready for the day. She was still giddy from last night. Drake was so sweet to her. She had never seen him that way and it was a little overwhelming to have someone treat her like that.. But it was overwhelming in the best way. She got a text from Drake that morning and her stomach flipped.
Lilith ate a quick breakfast in the Beaumont’s kitchen with Riley and went to the patio to wait for Drake. It was 11:55 and he wasn’t there yet. She took a moment to calm herself down. Her hands were shaking with nerves and it was so annoying. How did Drake have this effect on her?
“You came.” She whirled around at the sound of his familiar deep voice and saw Drake standing behind her looking like a freaking snack in a tight black t-shirt and jeans.
“That’s what she said.” Lilith stared at him for a moment and burst out laughing.
“You’re ridiculous.” Drake chuckled as he walked toward her.
“I’m sorry.. I couldn’t help it! “ she shook her head smiling.
He leaned down and gave her a soft kiss, smiling faintly like he was trying to hide it.
“So what’s the big secret?” Lilith wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up into his eyes.
“Who said it was a secret?” Drake smirked.
“Stop playing coy with me Walker.” She pinched his side with a playful smile. “What are you up to?”
Drake took her hand and led her down the patio steps and into the vineyard. Lilith laced her fingers with his sighing contentedly as they strolled through the rows of grapevines, enjoying the breezy warm day. “This is so pretty. I came to Ramsford a few times as a kid, but I’ve never been back here before.” Lilith discreetly snagged a grape off of a vine and ate it.
“Liam, Max, and I used to play hide and seek back here when we’d come to visit. We’d always get in trouble with Max’s dad for doing exactly what you just did.” He cut his eyes at her with a smirk. “Don’t think I didn’t notice.”
She gasped, “What are you implying Mr. Walker?”
“You’re a thief, Lilith Nevrakis.” He chuckled.
She grabbed another grape from the vine and held it out to him. “Do it.. You know you want to. Eat the forbidden fruit!”
“You’re ridiculous.” He grabbed it and studied it for a moment, considering.
“Come on..” Lilith grabbed the plump grape back from him and placed it to his lips. He opened his mouth and she placed the grape inside letting her index finger glide across his tongue before bringing it out and placing her finger into her own mouth. “Mmm.. Drake tastes even yummier than the grapes.”
Drake was breathing hard as he watched her. “Fuck..” he whispered before chewing and swallowing the grape.
Lilith chuckled and skipped ahead, stealing another grape for herself. They walked a bit further into a shaded clearing and Lilith gasped. The field behind the vineyards was covered in wildflowers and the long grass swayed in the breeze. It was beautiful. She turned back to Drake smiling. “Oh my gosh, I love it! I just wish I had my paint so I could-”
Drake nodded to a large tree and sitting beside it was a canvas on an easel with a table, chairs, and picnic basket. Lilith felt like her heart stopped. This was the most amazing thing anyone had ever done for her and she was so overcome with emotion she felt goosebumps cover her body. She gulped as she walked over and tentatively touched the paint set. It wasn’t hers. It was exactly the same, but brand new. “How?” She looked back at him incredulously.
Drake looked away shyly. “I um. Thought you would like to come out here and paint. I know you like to paint nature and you’re so damn good at it. I remembered coming to this spot when I was a kid and always thinking it was beautiful.” He shrugged.
Lilith was still staring at him, frozen in place.
“Is this ok?” Drake looked at her warily.
Her bottom lip trembled and she ran over to him and jumped into his arms. He caught her, laughing in surprise as she planted several kisses all over his face. “It’s the best thing anyone has ever, ever done for me! Drake, I can’t even believe you thought of this!”
He shrugged nonchalantly, but inside he was beaming. He looked into her eyes and brought his lips to hers as he spoke. “I want to make you happy, Lil.”
Lilith smiled, “You called me Lil.”
“Did I?”
“Yes.” Drake looked momentarily worried, until she spoke again. “It’s cute.. like we’re a real couple giving each other nicknames.”
He chuckled. “That’s um.. another thing I wanted to clear up. Are we? Like a couple?”
“Oh.” She looked away, cheeks burning. Shit, was that too much?
Drake touched her cheek. “I mean.. I hope we are.”
She smiled brightly, smoothing her hands across his broad chest. “Me too.”
“Good.” Drake tried to hide his smile, but was clearly overcome with emotion too, and cleared his throat looking toward the canvas. “You better get started in case it rains or something..”
“Right!” Lilith sat down and started painting. Her heart was full as they sat in contented silence, enjoying each other’s company and the picnic that Drake had made for them.
“God damn, it looks like a fucking photograph!” Drake shook his head in disbelief once she was finished an hour later.
“Oh, you’re just saying that.” She winked as she lifted her glasses and rested them on her head.
“No, you know it’s good.” Drake ate another chocolate from the basket. “Don’t even pretend.”
Lilith laughed and sat down next to him on the blanket that was spread out for the two of them. Drake watched her close her eyes, letting the warm breeze sweep over her, blowing her beautiful red locks over her shoulders. He had never seen her look like this before. She looked peaceful, content, and real. Drake maneuvered himself so that he was sitting behind Lilith with his legs wrapped around her, and she snuggled back into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. God she smelled good. He looked down at her slender neck and felt himself wet his lips at the sight. He remembered kissing her there and how good she tasted. Drake rubbed her arms, gliding them down her smooth skin and she sighed happily.
Drake had a feeling that she was a little nervous about them having sex again. Maybe because this would be the first time since the.. incident when he said her name. But things were different now.. right? Drake closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I’m not going to push her. She can move at her own pace and- whoa! Drake’s eyes flew open as he felt Lilith reaching behind her and massaging him over his pants. Holy shit.. Thank god.
Lilith turned her head to the side, capturing his lips with hers as she continued to rub him. Drake felt himself getting embarrassingly rock hard at only seconds of her touch. She smirked and turned around straddling his lap. Lilith positioned herself right over his erection and ground down onto him. Drake closed his eyes and moaned loudly. Before he could say a word her mouth was on his, nipping his lip teasingly as she continued to rock back and forth against him.
Drake panted into her mouth between kisses. “You sure.. you wanna do this.. here?”
Lilith gave him a mischievous smirk. “Oh hell yes.”
Drake pulled his shirt over his head and Lilith bit her lip as her eyes roved his muscular chest and abs. “God damn, you are a fucking work of art, do you know that?”
Drake smirked and stood as he unzipped her short summer dress and lowered it down to the ground. Damn it she had no bra and a thong on again. “Fuck yes.” Drake whispered as he caressed her breasts before gliding his hands back to grab her ass.
They came together in an instant, kissing each other with fervor as their hands explored each other’s bodies. Drake reached down to unzip his pants to free his straining cock and Lilith took over, lowering them to the ground along with his boxer briefs. She got on her knees in front of him and Drake shivered in anticipation. Lilith looked up at him through her lashes before claiming his dick as her own. She worked her tongue around his shaft as she bobbed her head up and down, sucking, moaning and licking, while sending Drake closer and closer to the edge. “Fuck.. I won’t last much longer.” He grabbed a handful of her hair to slowly pull her off of him and she licked his cock slowly from base to tip before standing back up and giving him a soft kiss. “Holy shit..” He breathed and she smiled smugly.
“Lay down.. It’s your turn.” He looked at her with such intensity that she felt a rush of warm wetness between her legs. Drake kneeled over her, lowering her panties before breathing out. “Your pussy is fucking beautiful.” Lilith gasped as he went straight for her, teasingly kissing her clit before lapping at her. She tasted better than anything he had ever put in his mouth before and he couldn’t get enough. Lilith grabbed a fistful of his dark brown hair and cried out as her legs began to tremble. Drake increased the movement of his tongue until he heard her practically scream as her body trembled. Once she stopped trembling, she looked up at him completely sated and out of breath.
“I need you Drake.”
Drake pulled out a condom from his wallet, and Lilith chuckled. “You are always prepared aren’t you?”
“When I’m with you..” He kissed her neck before rolling the condom down onto himself and lining up with her entrance.
“Wait.” Lilith sat up nipping his lip. “I wanna ride you.”
“Fuck..” Drake could have cum right then and there. Lilith lowered herself down onto his length and the two of them moaned simultaneously. She began rocking back and forth and Drake grabbed her breasts, rolling her nipples softly as she increased her movements. It was the most amazing sight in the world and he got to see it. She wanted to be with him. Drake felt more than sexual desire at that moment. He was having sex with a woman he loved. That was a first.
Lilith threw her head back and cried out as her walls fluttered around him and Drake studied her beautiful face, entranced by every bit of pleasure she was expressing. Her eyes were shut tight and her full lips were parted as she moaned moving up and down on his cock. Once her movements slowed Drake could finally let go. He grabbed her hips and began thrusting into her and she surprisingly made eye contact the entire time. It was so fucking sexy and Drake knew he wouldn’t last long. His eyes closed as he felt the pressure ready to burst and Lilith said, “you feel so good Drake!” She said my name. Drake’s eyes flew open, locking on hers and he shuddered and moaned as the most intense orgasm of his life coursed through his body, leaving him utterly and completely spent and at her mercy.
They stared at each other, unable to speak for minutes as they caught their breath. Lilith climbed off and snuggled next to Drake, laying her head on his shoulder. Drake huffed out a faint laugh, “You said my name.”
Lilith sat up so that she could see his face. “I did.”
Drake smiled and kissed her softly, brushing back the hair that clung to her sweat covered brow. “That was.. the best sex I’ve ever had in my life.” Old Drake would have kicked him in the balls for admitting that to a woman.. But he was a different person now. And Lilith wasn’t just ‘a woman.’
Lilith chuckled as she traced her finger across his chest. “Me too. Actually.. All of our sex has been the best.” She giggled, “You’re.. amazing at a lot of things, but you are anartist in the sack.”
Drake smiled and continued stroking her hair as they lay together on the picnic blanket. “Ditto.”
“You can’t say ditto when I’m complimenting your sexual performance!” Lilith laughed and swatted his arm.
“Sorry!” Drake smiled. “I’m still new to this whole ‘expressing myself’ thing.”
“Ditto.” She smirked as she sat up, grabbing her dress.
Drake gestured toward her thigh while he pulled on his jeans. “Now will you tell me about your tattoos?”`
Lilith looked down at the colorful flowers tattooed on her thigh. “These are called English Primroses. It’s one of the few flowers we have in our duchy because, as you know, it’s always so freaking cold.” She sighed, “It grows outside of the window in the library and.. I don’t know.” She shrugged shyly. “It just makes me happy. Even though the other flowers around it die, it perseveres.”
Drake smiled. She was so sentimental even though she always pretended not to be.”What about that one?” He nodded to her ribs. Drake had never even gotten to read what it said. Most of it was hidden beneath her arm.
She blushed. “It’s a quote from one of my favorite books.. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.”
Drake stood closer to her lifting her arm so he could read. “From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again.”
Lilith tucked her hair behind her ear shyly. “I know it seems kinda emo, but.. I feel like that describes the majority of my life.”
Drake smiled sadly. The more he got to know Lilith, the more he was beginning to understand just how lonely her life had been. “I love it.” He kissed her and helped her get dressed. They packed up the painting supplies and canvas and walked back to the Beaumont’s estate.
“Thank you again for.. all of this.” She gestured at the painting Drake was holding. “This has been.. probably the best day of my life.”
Drake smiled at her. It felt so good to hear her being honest and sincere with him. “You’re welcome. And.. mine too.”
Once they got back to the estate, it was nearly dinner time and Drake handed Lilith her painting. “Keep it.” She pushed it back to him shyly. “I mean.. If you want to.”
Drake’s face brightened. “Really?”
She shrugged. “Ya.. I mean you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but-”
Drake cupped her cheek and kissed her softly, letting his tongue slightly caress hers. God this woman had him completely consumed. “Thank you. I love y-..it. I love it.” Holy shit. He chastised himself as he almost let the three little words slip out of his mouth. That would surely have sent her running fast and far.
Lilith backed into her room with a smile. “I’m gonna go get a shower and change before dinner, but I’ll see you there right? No hiding in the back of the room this time?”
Drake chuckled, “Ya.. wherever you are, is where I’ll be.” Drake cringed at his words, oh my god I’m such a simp.
Lilith smiled in surprise, “Good.” She closed the door leaving Drake standing there alone, feeling like a lovesick puppy.
