Angelina's outfit for the chapter ^^^
Angelina's POV
We had made it to Francis' house. Francis and I turned to the backseat to see a sleeping Richard Papen. I watched his sleeping figure, taking in every little detail. Francis turned to me, "He looks peaceful." He whispered. "He always seems tense around us. But, in his current state his looks calm and at ease." I replied back. "Well, why don't you wake him up and I'll take the bags in. We don't want to keep the others up any longer than they already have."
I got out of the car and went to Richard's side. I put my hand on his shoulder shaking him slightly, "Come on Rich, we're here." He he looked up at me with half-lidded eyes.
"Where are we again?" He asked sleepily. "Francis'. Come on, we don't want to keep the others waiting."
I grabbed his hands and helped him out of the car, for someone who was drunk and was at a crowded and sweaty party, he smelled amazing. Richard smelled like cheap cologne (not the kind you can buy at a drugstore) and Marlboro cigarettes. There was something about Richard that made me infatuated with him. I don't know what it is but it's there. Francis and Eddie keep poking fun at me because of it, Francis knows how I feel about Rich. But Eddie does it because whenever there's a chance to make fun of me, he'll be there. All in good fun of course.
I slung Richard's arm across my shoulders and held my arm around his waist. When we walked into the country house I saw Charles and Camila sharing the bench at the piano trying to play a few notes from Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1, an exhausted and half asleep Henry on the couch , a disheveled Edmund walking down the stairs to get a drink, and Francis sitting in the arm chair lighting a cigarette across from where Henry sat.

"Finally," said Bunny groggily. "The love birds have arrived." The twins turned to face me as I set a half conscious Richard Papen next to Henry. "Hello good sir." Charlie said with a smile. Camila sent a wave and a soft smile my way. I gave them both a polite nod. "Oh, hello." Henry spoke slowly, his voice sounded hoarse. "Alright, now that our guest of honor has arrived drunk and passed out. I think you all should head to bed." Everyone gave a tired nod and headed their separate ways. Francis, however stayed behind. "Angie there are only five rooms. Remember?" He said. "I know."
"Where are you going to sleep?" Francis asked worriedly. "I'm going to share a room with Sleeping Beauty." I chuckled as I looked over at Richard. "You really are in love with him." Francis said with a smile. "I am not in love with him."
"Right, and I'm heterosexual. Well then, goodnight Prince Charming." Said Francis. "Goodnight to you too Franny."
******************************************
After a while of struggling to get up the stairs with unconscious Papen behind me, we finally made it to our shared room. I helped Richard undress and get into his pajamas. He lazily got into bed with half of his body hanging off the side. I let out a soft chuckle at the sight. There was a light knock on the door, I turned to see Henry leaning against the door frame. "You should be in bed. What's up?" I spoke softly as to not ruined peaceful quiet that hung in the air. "I just came to see if you needed help." Henry said softly. "No, I'm alright. Thank you anyway. You should really get to bed." My little brother gave me a tired nod and kiss on the cheek, in which I gratefully returned and sent him on his way.

I was finally able to sit down and take off my shoes. I was so exhausted that I didn't even bother to change into something more comfortable, I just got into bed with my sweater and dress pants. Unfortunately for me I didn't fall asleep right away like I had hoped. Instead I stared at the ceiling for about 10 minutes. I then turned to face the sleeping figure next to me. Richard. No matter how he looked, he always seemed to look beautiful. Even in his drunken state, he was perfect. He scooted closer to me and wrapped himself around me. Hiding his face in the crook of my neck. At first I tensed, then I hesitantly wrapped you arms around him, taking in his warmth and his smell. Richard then did something I never thought would happen. He looked up at me with closed eyes and kissed my cheek. "Thank you." He said groggily. When he lied back down, I went wide eyed and my cheeks flushed the darkest red to ever exist.

Their Wife
Nea Riar, a human, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world full of everything she has thought to be a myth. There she meets five men; Fae, Demon, Shifter, Warlock, and Incubus. What these five men have in common is that they are each seen as a threat in a society ruled by matriarchy. In the world of Asorix, Arradona is a Queendom where women are superior. Most are physically closer to the size men, the difference in high not as great, and their magical capabilities are naturally stronger from birth. They dominate and tame men, claiming those they see fit as husbands to add to their growing harems. Those of the upper class compete with one another by comparing the number of husbands they have in their harems, ranging anywhere from the tens to the hundreds, and even a rare few in the thousands.In these lands, five men; Zev Dubois, Cassius Montgomery, Jaxon Novak, Ezra Larsen, and Axel Dimitrov are anomalies. They're stronger than any male that has existed, physically and in terms of magical capabilities. The extent of their power is unknown, but it's speculated that they are more powerful than women also. Their power and wealth has earned them a high status without having to marry a wife to gain it, something that was impossible before them. They are seen as a threat by the Council.In an attempt to control them, the Council orders that they must each take a wife in hopes that she can tame these men who show signs of being dominant. The women of Asorix stumble over one another trying to take at least one of the five as a husband for their harem because of their looks, money, and status in society that would all become their own.During this time the five men come across Damanea, a woman who isn't like the rest. She's the opposite of what women in their world are like. Instead of being dominant, assertive, and abusive, she's meek, cautious, and weak. So what do they do?They marry her.WARNING: Slow burn dark romance

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
