“Believe me when I tell you that our time together is not a borrowed time, you love me, I love you, and I am going to make it work,” He continued as he stood in front of her. Now there was not much space between them. “There is no line to cross, Sophie, the line faded that day in the emerald house when I kissed you, whatever it was that was the barricade faded that day, when we kissed, I knew, even though I tried to tell myself that it was just sex, tried to lie that I wasn’t feeling anything, it didn’t work. Patrick, Roseline? they both saw through me; the first time I slept in the dungeon with you? Patrick gave me an earful, and asked me if I was in love with you and all. I told him he had nothing to worry about but Patrick was right to have been worried because even though I didn’t know it then, I already felt something for you,”Lance confessed and paused to just look at her and admire the beauty of the woman who stole his heart. “Why would I, a king, go as far as sleeping in t
“You can be a happy man, but right now, you look too happy and I am afraid to ask what the reason is,”“Patrick, don’t worry,”“Oh, but I am worried, I am worried that I already know why and your happiness might make me lose more brain cells than I have already lost.”Patrick was such a killjoy, the man needed to fall in love so that he too would know what it feels like. “I don’t know why my happiness means you lose brain cells,”“Cut to the chase and tell me what happened,”Patrick persuaded. Even though he knew telling him would mean hearing another earful as to why he and Sophie couldn’t be together, Lance still told him. “Well, if you must know, I told her that I love her, well, she said it first and I said it too,”he announced. Patrick didn’t even look surprised. “I saw this coming, aha, it has been over since that day, I should have done better,”Patrick said. he was talking more to himself. “What day?”Lance asked. “The day you slept in the dungeon with her, you swore tha
Sophie felt her heart almost explode with love when she saw her baby moving and being all healthy. She was so thankful that she got to see her baby like this, it wasn’t the first time she did a scan but it was always so fascinating to see her baby, and every time they checked, she got bigger. “Aha, it is a she,”The sonographer confirmed what Sophie already knew, she had always known that she was having a daughter, and she felt the connection. She smiled knowing at the sonographer who continued her work while pointing out things for her. “She is an active baby, you are doing so well and everything is fine with her, the doctor will speak to you more,”The sonographer said as she concluded what she was doing and removed the controller from her bump, she gave Sophie tissues to wipe the gel off her stomach, after which she helped Sophie out of the bed. “Thank you for today,”Sophie thanked her as she walked out of the room, she still had a few things to do. Her next stop was the labora
“Is that question too hard to answer? You just have to give a yes or no, is the king really expecting an heir soon?”She asked again.“I don’t have to answer any of your questions and you have no right to come sit with me and ask me such questions,”Sophie fired at the woman, it was clear that she thought her to be a fool. She must think she has no sense of her own that she can just question her and she would willingly give her all the answers. She would be a fool to do that while knowing that could expose the king and herself to so many bullshits that she wasn’t ready to deal with just yet. The fact that the woman approached her knowing she was pregnant means she knew some details and wanted to find out if her baby belonged to the king. “I just asked a simple question, there have been a lot of talks going around the kingdom about the king having a woman and the both of them expecting a baby”“And that concerns me how?”Sophie let out. She knew people knew about her relationship with
“Now why are you smiling?”The king asked and she turned to see him watching her. “How did you know I was smiling when I wasn’t even looking at you?”She asked. She shouldn’t even be surprised when he was always watching her. “I don’t need to see your face to know that you are smiling, you always smile with your whole body, not just your face.”He pointed out. She got up from where she sat and walked to him, got on the bed, and lay next to him, he pulled her closed and wrapped her in his arms, she breathed in his fresh smell as all the tiredness she felt washed away. “I remembered what happened before my appointment earlier.” “She told him, he lifted her face with his finger under her chin, and she looked at him with her heart in her eyes. “I love you,”He whispered and kissed her, reminding her just how it felt to hear him say those words to her for the first time. “Shit, I should have just told that nosy woman that I was, in fact, the king’s woman and that he is in love with m
Lance didn’t know how to take what Sophie just told him. He couldn’t believe all those months he thought he dreamt of them together, it really happened. What kind of man doesn’t remember such a memorable night, of course, he remembered but just in a different way, that dream or at least he thought it was a dream hunted him for months, and at a point, he wanted to talk to her about it but he had not wanted to sound like a weirdo who a predator, on the day he had sent her that errand that started everything for them, he had wanted to talk to her about it too but they never got the chance because he had stupidly believed a driver who turned out to be a thief over her. She was staring at him, as if she hadn’t heard what he had said earlier or maybe she was shocked about the fact that he remembered. “Sophie,”He called but she shook her head and pointed at him. “You mean to tell me you remembered that night but you thought it was a dream?”She asked. She looked like she was going to cry
“Please, take it off,”He pressed, not telling her what he wanted to do. She shrugged and turned her back to him, he understood and unzipped her dress, he touched her shoulder and when she looked at him, he turned her whole body around to face him. He pulled the dress off her body and took a breath. He had seen her naked so many times than he could count but each time she took off her clothes, he still felt like he was unlocking a present. “Lance,”She whispered when he slowly got on his knees in front of her. He had to apologize to their baby. He reached out and touched her stomach. The baby jumped, shocking him, he took his hands back and stared at Sophie and then at the baby bump. Over the last couple of months, while they slept together on the same bed, he has felt the baby move a couple of times but never as strong as it is now. “I think she likes her daddy,”Sophie said. Lance looked up at her and she nodded. “Really? You really think she likes me?”He asked, suddenly feeling
“I want you, Sophie,”He let out and stood up, he didn’t wait for her response before kissing her heartedly. He got her response when she moaned in the kiss and opened her mouth so that their tongues could meet and mate. He already knew the addictive taste of her but that didn’t make it any less exciting for him, she always excites him and he desires her. His hand found the hook of her bra and he unhook it, exposing her magnificent breast to his hungry eyes. “So beautiful and all mine,”He mouthed. “Yeah, for now, the baby is going to take over soon,”She joked. “I am still the final boss, she only gets it temporarily,”He replied and took one rosy nipple in his mouth, sucking hard. “Oh God, that feels good,”She moaned. He smiled and pulled her onto the bed with him where he made sweet love to her far into the night and then, they fell asleep in each other’s arms. waking up to her the next morning and their baby greeting him good morning by moving when he touched Sophie’s tummy m
