Billionaire Alphaย ย ย In Flight
LukeI had spent so much time making sure that Sophia was calm, but I had forgotten to do the same for myself. We barely had an hourโs rest before we had to get ready to catch our next flight. Sophia and I made love again in the shower at the hotel and took our time getting ready, knowing there was a comfortable king-sized bed on the plane for us to sleep in during the long haul to Qatar.We knew a long flight was ahead of us, so we both dressed casually. Jeans and a T-shirt for me, and leggings with an oversized sweater for Sophia. She looked amazing in all styles of dress, and her legs looked amazing in the tight fabric.When we were safely in the air, Sophia headed to the bedroom. I had told her that I would be there soon, but I never ended up fulfilling that promise. The television wasnโt much of a distraction, but I ended up staring out the window, watching the clouds roll over the wing of the plane as I contemplated my future.I knew in my heart that I had made the right choice

LukeWhen the palace came into view in the distance, I squeezed Sophiaโs hand. Mine was slick with sweat, but I didnโt let go.โI love you,โ Sophia said. I snapped back to reality and looked at her. โI donโt know what else to say, so I wanted to leave you with that. No matter what happens, Iโm not going anywhere.โโThank you,โ I said. โThat helps.โโHere we go,โ she muttered as the palace gates opened for us. โThis view never gets old.โShe stared out the window at the palace grounds. Even though Iโd spent a majority of my life living in the palace, we had the same view of it. Each time I returned home, I always marveled at the beauty. The palace had been my second chance at life, and I had promised myself I would never take it for granted.Either the car moved at warp speed, or my sense of timing was off. Before I knew it, the driver was out of the car and holding my door open.One of the valets was already helping Sophia out of the car.As I didnโt want Mother to attack my fiancรฉ fi

SophiaMy stomach sank the longer that Luke and Gia argued with each other. I didnโt miss the disgusted glares thrown in my direction. As much as I wanted to catch up with Abir, I couldnโt allow Luke to be utterly alone in this. I wasnโt going to stand back if he needed me.The conversation between Luke and his Mother was one of the most brutal ones Iโve witnessed. She held firm in her decision to hate me. I didnโt care so much about my feelings, but if I could protect Lukeโs, I would at all costs.I would have stepped in if I thought it would help, but one look from Luke told me he would handle this. I held my ground while Abir attempted to keep the conversation far away from his mother.Even though I wasnโt taking part in the conversation, I still kept one ear leaned in Lukeโs direction. If Gia went too far, I would be forced to step in.Luke and I were a team, and we would have to be if we were going to make it through the family drama surrounding our relationship. If only Gia got

SophiaEven though Abir didnโt appear fazed by the request, Lukeโs tone held a heavy weight. For once, I didnโt want to know what was on his mind, but I had a feeling I was about to find out.This was what I was here for, to be Lukeโs rock like he was mine. This was what a real relationship looked like, for better or for worse.When Abir left and closed the door behind him, Luke collapsed onto his bed. He rolled over onto his back and raked his hands through his hair.โPenny for your thoughts?โ I asked, intending for it to sound like a joke.Luke wasnโt smiling. โThe council wants to meet with me,โ he said.โOkay? Donโt you meet often?โโThey want to see me now.โโNow?โ I asked. โYou just got back. They canโt give you a second to get settled?โLuke sat up. โThatโs what Mother said. A kingโs duty never rests.โI sat down next to him. I didnโt touch him for fear he would shrink away from me. I wanted to be there for him but not to make him more uncomfortable than he already was.โAre yo

LukeI walked toward the conversation I dreaded, and my heart pounded in time with my footsteps.As I approached the meeting room, I glanced down at the suit I wore. I hadnโt even bothered to change. Would it have made a difference? I didnโt want to keep the council waiting longer than necessary, since they were adamant about meeting me the moment I arrived from a long-ass flight into Qatar.If they didnโt like the suit, too bad. This was my house, and if they were going to make ridiculous demands, then I wouldnโt completely bow down to them.Shoving open the doors a little harder than necessary, the doors smacked against the wall and came back quicker than Iโd intended.At the noise, the other council members turned their heads in my direction.Jaabir looked particularly smug while the other members had serious frowns on their faces.Shit.Normally when coming into this room, I received smiles of greeting, at least from everyone except Jaabir.โTake a seat, King Luke,โ Qadeem said as

LukeThe closing of the meeting room door signaled the end of the conversation between myself and the other council members. My head swam with questions about what the fuck had just happened. Leaving Qatar and going to America to reclaim the love of my life Sophia was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Returning to the palace with her had more than turned my world upside down. While I thought Jaabir, the oldest and most traditional council member, was my only foe in that room, it turned out that all the council members werenโt fond of my decision to marry a woman outside of our culture.Their final ultimatum was clear: either I give up Sophia to keep the throne, or I give up the throne to keep Sophia. If I chose to keep Sophia, then my sixteen-year-old brother Abir would be forced onto the throne. Other than Sophia, no one else knew that Abir didnโt want the crown. Fatherโs dying wish was for me to take the throne. Mother had supported the decision too, which was why I made Sophia leav

LukeWe walked along the winding pathway toward the massive structure on the west end of the grounds. It was a beautiful sight with a beautiful woman, and I didnโt want Mother to ruin it, even in spirit.โSophia, she will learn to live with it, or she can live her life without us.โโMight be hard living in the same house as her,โ Sophia said.โWe donโt have a normal home,โ I said. โWhen I was a teenager and pissed off at them for whatever reason, there were plenty of places to hide.โโYou, the king, are going to hide from your mother?โโNo, but if she doesnโt want to be involved in our life together, then she can do all the hiding.โโOur life together,โ Sophia said, looking down at the ring on her left hand. โI like the sound of that.โI pulled her close to me, never wanting to be more than a room apart from her ever again. โMe too.โWe wandered through the manicured flowers and other plants that were native to my land. The first time I had brought Sophia home to the palace, we preten

SophiaโWhat was that about?โ I asked Luke. As quickly as his adoptive brother entered the room, Abir left again.Luke walked over to the table and lightly kissed the top of my head. I leaned against him. โAbir wants us to meet his girlfriend.โSophiaโs eyes widened. โAlda?โโApparently, sheโs a frequent visitor to the palace.โโIt must be serious then,โ I said.โIโll be the judge of that,โ Luke said.I touched his hand. โDown, boy.โHe smirked. โI just want to get to know her better. I havenโt been a very good big brother.โโYouโve done just fine.โSomething flashed in Lukeโs eyes. Before I could identify it, the look was gone.Even though Luke had told me that everything went okay in the meeting with the council, I had a strange sensation that he wasnโt telling me everything. Luke only hid things from me when they directly affected our relationship. I thought we were over doing that, but Luke was a kind and intelligent man, and if he needed to work through something, he would do it

Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Special Announcement
LukeWhen a knock sounded on my door a little while later, I glanced at the clock, and my jaw dropped. An hour had already flown by, and Iโd checked off several items from my list.โCome in!โ I called. Everyone knew that when the door to the study was closed, they were to knock and wait for my approval before entering. It was my sacred space in the palace, and it wasnโt a hard rule to follow. Though, I imagined bending the rules for our childโwhenever we got around to having oneโsince Father had always done so for me.Sophia stood in the doorway for a moment before entering the room.โHi,โ I said to her. โWhatโs up?โโDo you have a minute?โ she asked. Her hands clasped in front of her, as Motherโs normally were. The both of them were turning into clones of each other. I wondered if I should limit their time together or not. The thought made me smile. Neither of them would agree to that. They were two peas in a pod now.โFor you? Always.โ I stood up and stretched. For the last hour, I
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Everything is Great
LukeAs I perused the newspaper in front of me, Sophia and Mother discussed some upcoming banquet. Glancing over the top of the paper, I watched my wife of six months calmly eating her breakfast. Tilting my head to the side, I noticed something different about her. I couldnโt quite pinpoint it. I wasnโt sure if it was her outfit; today she wore one of the more traditional outfits of our country. Over the last months, Mother had been an excellent tutor to Sophia, teaching her about our customs, traditions, and the language.Even though Sophia hated when we went full immersion with the language, she loved it at the same time. It worked her brain like her reporting career did. I still felt a little twinge of guilt now and then for taking her away from her passion, but she had a full schedule since we had returned from our honeymoon. We both liked to keep busy, and that wasnโt going to change anytime soon.It didnโt take long for Mother to get on board with the new way of life around the
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Melding Together
SophiaHe drove a finger inside of me, and I bucked my hips up to meet him. Falling back against the fluffy pillows, we moved as one, intensifying the pleasure within me. Adding more fingers and that circling thumb, my eyes fluttered closed and moans escaped my lips. If this was what it was going to be like for the rest of my life, I looked forward to every moment spent in this bed with Luke.After the drama that we had to deal with in such a short amount of time, I never felt so relaxed in my life. That part of our struggle was over, and even though there would inevitably be issues with the kingdom and Lukeโs reign, there would never be a problem that we couldnโt overcome, especially if we came together like this as much as possible.The idea that I might have missed out on this life with him made me hold him close to me. I sat up, deepening his reach inside of me, and I grabbed his hardness again, thrusting all of my love and appreciation into the movements.His chin lifted, and his
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Scorched
SophiaEvery single point where our bodies touched lit me up inside until searing heat scorched every fiber of my being. Touching Lukeโs face, feeling the stubble of his chin under my fingertips, added licks of heat to burn through me. I fell into the pools of his eyes, my love for him wanting to burst out of me. My panties were soaked through as his hand moved up the side of my body. His fingers brushed over the side of my breast. After getting out of my dress last night, I changed into a ratty old T-shirt. The fabric was thin and worn, which didnโt offer any protection from his touches. Not that I wanted any.His fingers lightly touched my neck. He put some pressure on my jaw, and I moved my head to the side. I loved when Luke kissed the sensitive part of my neck. It was one of his favorite moves. At least, from what I could tell.His soft lips touched my skin. With each movement of my body, he left a wake of warm invisible kisses along the way. He trapped my earlobe between his lip
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Honeymoon
LukeJoining her, the two of us brushed our teeth together. It was nice to get the stale taste of food and champagne out of my mouth. I watched Sophia through the mirror as she watched me. Energy crackled between us, and I could have dragged her into the shower to expend that energy. Knowing we were to be joined by several servants as they brought breakfast in the room for us made me kill the urge. For now.Even though it was the simplest of acts, the idea that I would brush my teeth at least once a day with this woman filled me with the most joy Iโd ever felt. I wondered if only the birth of our children would rival that feeling.I finished before her and held her against me while she finished. With a shimmy of her ass against my crotch, I glanced at her. She leaned back against me, lifting her perky breasts higher. Slowly guiding my hand along her middle, I caressed the outside of her breasts.That was when I heard the door open from the other room. My hand froze before I removed it
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Change of Heart
LukeI never wanted my wedding day to end. Even though it was an intimate affair with under a hundred guests, the party went much longer than most banquets that Iโd attended. Sophia and I stumbled into my bedroom in the wee hours of the morning.Even though I celebrated, neither of us drank heavily. I supposed we were almost drunk from the music and dancing, so when we arrived in a quiet and sacred space, the both of us passed out from exhaustion.The one thing I remembered as my eyes closed was the way she looked slipping out of her wedding dress. God, I was a lucky-ass man.***When my eyes finally peeled open, Sophia was already up and facing me. She had a big smile on her face, and her left hand propped on the pillow between us. The sparkling engagement ring glittered in the morning light that streamed through the windows. The night before, Iโd barely gotten out of my clothes, so there was no chance I had been able to reach the blackout curtains before falling onto the bed.โGood

SophiaGia smiled and reached up to grab my veil. She pulled it down over my face, and the world turned a hazy shade of white. All but two of the servants dispersed, and Gia walked into the room, closing the door behind her.โYou ready to get married?โ Matt asked me.โYes,โ I said, lifting my chin. For a moment, I felt like Gia. Since I was to take her place as queen one day, it seemed fitting.A swell of music filtered out from under the doorway and the doors opened. It was a good thing the veil covered the surprised expression on my face. Weโd planned for the wedding to be small and intimate, but I didnโt know that there would be more than immediate family at the event. Gia had mentioned some close family and friends that sheโd wanted there, and I brushed it off, thinking there would be one or two extra people.All in all, there were only about fifty people, but when their gazes turned toward me, there might as well have been two hundred people there.Matt gripped my hand harder. โJ
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Wedding Day
SophiaSince Gia put together the wedding in such a short amount of time, there was nothing Luke or I could say when it came to the night before the wedding. Sheโd let go of most of her traditional views but chose to hold on to the one that didnโt allow us to sleep together that night.While I wanted to show Luke how appreciative I was about what heโd done for me, we respected her wishes.After a wonderful rehearsal dinner with the people we loved, I took Matt around the palace while Luke and Maddox went off together. Maddox had mentioned something about the bachelor party, and Giaโs face had paled to the color of the tablecloth. I knew Luke didnโt plan on going out to a strip clubโI didnโt think they had those hereโbut he went off with Maddox anyway, probably to defeat his best friendโs urge to flirt.Matt eventually dropped me off in the same bedroom that Iโd slept in when I first came to the palace. We said goodnight, and I thought I saw excitement flash in his eyes when he asked w
Billionaire Alphaย ย ย Telling the Council
LukeThe council members shifted in their seats. I couldnโt be prouder of my mother for standing up for me. It was something I always wanted but never knew that I needed. I didnโt care that she commanded the meeting space where I was supposed to reign. We were a family, and treating the kingdom like that would be my legacy.โWhen Erol and I chose to adopt a son, it was not something we took lightly. We knew we would change a childโs life and possibly be able to choose the successor to the throne.โ She looked over at me and smiled, the way she used to when I was a child. When things seemed much simpler. When had I lost touch with that?โWe picked a boy that we felt, in our hearts, needed us as much as we needed him. You all worked with my husband and the previous king. You saw how big of a heart he had for this country. You trusted his choices. Why are you turning your backs on him now? He wanted Luke to become king in his stead. What would you say to him right now, face to face, if yo
