Check out another forced-marriage novel from the same series in my collection, available with a monthly subscription: After the Married Man Was Abducted by Space Pirates
This novel's blurb:
Yuri x Leviathan
Pitiful abandoned prince bottom x devoted, outwardly gentle but inwardly ruthless commander top
Yuri, the Empire's fifth prince, is its least-favored royal because his mother was born into a lowly family.
A prince of the Empire, no less, he is offered up by his father and brothers to a powerful prince who commands his own army, to be married off as his wife in the name of a political alliance.
A pawn has no right to resist. Yuri has no choice but to accept his fate and marry a man twenty years his senior.
But all kinds of mishaps arise at the wedding. The Federation's commander personally pilots a starship into the wedding venue.
The Empire and Federation have always been sworn enemies. There is no way this uninvited guest has come to offer congratulations.
The Federation commander who barges in doesn't hurt anyone. He does just one thing:
He steals the groom.
He abducts Yuri himself and takes him back to Federation territory against his will.
Yuri thinks he's doomed, but the man not only refrains from hurting him, he locks him in his bedchamber.
He even roughly tears open Yuri's gorgeous wedding clothes and throws him onto the big bed, baring his fair skin.
Then the commander gazes at his spoils with satisfaction and takes out a strapless wedding dress he prepared long ago, bending down to help Yuri put it on.
His movements are gentle and reverent, but the burning desire in his eyes is impossible to conceal:
"Put this on, darling. I've been fantasizing about seeing you in it for ages."
"Today, I should be the one marrying you."
Leviathan, the Federation's newly appointed commander, is a refined gentleman with a gift for military strategy. After taking office, he restores the Federation's strength with overwhelming force and wins the people's hearts.
Everyone says their new leader is disciplined, steady, reserved, and never impulsive. He's the best commander they could ask for.
But Leviathan himself knows he's done three impulsive, outrageous things in his life:
First, he fell in love with Yuri when he was young.
Second, he stormed the Empire's wedding and took Yuri away.
Third, he announced to the entire Federation that Yuri was his beloved.
P.S.
1. Written to suit my tastes: forced marriage, explicit content. If this isn't your thing, don't read.
2. Both are virgins and each other's first love; they dote on each other. There's a little coercion, but this really is a sweet romance.
3. A short story of a few tens of thousands of words, probably going into the monthly subscription collection~
Check out another forced-marriage novel from the same series in my collection: After the Married Man Was Abducted by Space Pirates
Lante (bottom) x Andre (top)
Pitiful married-man bottom x roguish space pirate top who spoils his wife
When his father presents him like a prized possession to the nobleman on their planet, Lante knows his life is over.
That nobleman oppresses the people and commits every kind of evil. His servants follow his lead, throwing their weight around and acting like tyrants.
He's also quick-tempered and violent, taking out his anger on Lante with beatings and abuse.
Lante has suffered for so long that he thinks this is how he'll spend the rest of his miserable life. Then someone barges into his life with overwhelming force.
On the night when Lante is locked in a room and abused by the nobleman, the intruder kicks the door open, carrying the stench of blood.
The blade flashes. Lante trembles on the bed, kneeling with his eyes shut, prepared to be killed in one stroke.
But the intruder lets out a cheerful whistle and lifts Lante's chin with a bloodstained dagger:
"Stay right here and don't come out. Once I've dealt with everyone outside, I'll be right back."
Lante is so scared his legs go weak. Wrapped in a blanket, he curls up in the corner and hears the thunderous noise outside. He can't even run away, so all he can do is wait in despair to become the next target.
At last, the man opens the door again. The smell of blood is even stronger, and the hem of his clothes is stained crimson.
Through the open doorway, Lante sees the nobleman lying on the floor, and his pupils contract.
The next second, the intruder scoops him up and carries him out, leaving no room for refusal:
"There. Now you're my spoils, so I can legally abduct you."
Lante thinks he'll have to go on living miserably at someone else's mercy. But who could have guessed that this man would treat him like a treasure?
Andre is the head of a space pirate crew feared throughout the galaxy. He's a brazen rogue who loves to take his men out to rob the rich and help the poor, targeting corrupt nobles and officials who amass wealth through crooked means.
During one raid, he unexpectedly comes across Lante, locked in a room by their target.
His heart skips a beat. Andre admits that the target's spouse is exactly his type.
And when he returns after dealing with the people outside and sees Lante obediently curled up in the corner, his heart beats even faster.
He decides to act on impulse and take Lante for himself.
It's the first time Andre has abducted someone he was interested in, despite all his past raids.
And Lante will be the one and only love of his long future ahead.
P.S.
1. Important: sex before love! A real married man! A little forced abduction! But at its heart, this is a sweet story about mutual devotion. If this isn't your thing, don't read.
3. Though he's a married man, they're both virgins. Lust comes first, then love.
4. An old-school story. If this isn't your thing, steer clear!
Theme: Being loved gives people flesh and blood
