"For a princess, virtue is a prize to be given away to the highest bidder. This is a problem when you're in love with a man who cannot possibly win."

Bella is a princess betrothed to Prince James, a man who can be charming and gentle, but who can also be cruel and violent. She has no other choice but to marry him - even though her heart belongs to the young servant boy Edward, who was abandoned by his parents when he was a child. They grew up together and their friendship soon turned into love. Their deep feelings for each other are the only thing keeping them from falling to pieces after the announcement of Bella's engagement. Bella only wishes for Edward, her true and only love, and wants him to be her first. To feel loved by him and only him before anyone else. Taking the council of her hand maiden Alice, she discovers a way to lay with Edward and keep her womanhood for her future husband. Love is very powerful, but when birthright and titles hold power above everything else, it is difficult to find your happy ending. But things aren't always as they seem and secrets long kept might become the key for Edward and Bella to have it all.

This story was an entry for the Let#s Do Anal Contest and we gotta admit, it was a pretty clever premise! It made us wonder if, maybe, back then, there were more who found themselves in Bella and Edward's position and would do the same to be with the one they love before they were given away to another. Poor Bella has it rough, she has duties but no powers. She might be a princess, but as power is only held by men, she has little say. Thanks to her Uncle Aro, a man whose greed for power orchestrated a lot of atrocities throughout the years, she has no choice but to wed the future king of Nomadia. It's an angsty and tragic tale, especially when James singles out Edward to torture and demean, but both Edward and Bella hold strong, knowing the payoff will be worth it. We are not gonna lie, this was a tough read for us - we don't like it when Edward gets hurt but like every story by the talented LyricalKris, we weren't disappointed as things end up on a happy note. Go check out this great short story that is written from a third-person's perspective and don't forget to leave a review. You won't regret it!
