Romaine barely made it through dinner with King Hernando e Queen Dorothea, her parents, struggling to remain happy while Kingston, the man who was torturing her senses, was standing so close behind her chair. She tried to eat, but every single bite was going down pushed by little sips of water.

After dinner, she wished them both goodnight and started walking slowly towards her rooms. While Kingston escorted her, his hand brushed casually against hers. Their eyes met, and his flared with a hunger so fierce sheā€™d stumbled over her feet.

He caught her in those strong handsā€¦ hands Romaine desperately wanted to feel on her body again. Even more than beforeā€¦

At her door, Romaine stood awkwardly, tugging at her earlobe and trying to find something to say to him. She wanted to apologize for pushing, but at the same time, he was still hiding everything from her. And she wanted to know him better. She wanted to know all about him, good or bad.

    His tone changed, and her grip on her glass tightened. That same tone had come out of his motherā€™s mouth the night before.ā€œThiago, I know you since foreverā€¦ And I know when you hide stuff from me. Please, tell me what else is on your mind? And stop beating around the bush. I am your cousin, after all. Weā€™re family.ā€ā€œAre we, Romy? Are we really? Because it doesnā€™t feel like it these days. I hardly see you outside of formal occasions anymoreā€¦ You used to be so much fun, darling.ā€ā€œOf course, we are familyā€¦ What kind of question is this? The reason of my disappearing is that Iā€™ve been busy with the education reforms, amongst other things. Come on, Thiagoā€¦ You know this,ā€ Romaine assured him even though it was a lie. She avoided him when she could because she didnā€™t want to hear any more about Alba or the issues at the docks. He sipped the wine again, and she lifted her eyebrow at his grimace.ā€œYeah, rightā€¦ Of courseā€¦ Those damn reforms of yours. You do realize what i

    The next morning, Romaine had barely drunk half a cup of coffee and went through half her dayā€™s appointments list when the doors to her rooms were thrown open. She caught a glimpse of Kingston through them, but he vanished as her mother swept inside. ā€œGood morning, Romy, sweetie,ā€ she said brightly and kissed her cheek. ā€œMother, youā€™re awfully cheerful this morning,ā€ Romaine pointed out. ā€œCoffee?ā€ ā€œNo, darling, and you shouldnā€™t be drinking so much caffeine. Is not good for you,ā€ she mused and took a seat opposite her daughter at the table. Romaine picked up her coffee and sipped it, smirking as her mother clicked her tongue. ā€œMy God, youā€™re incorrigible, childā€¦ā€ she said shaking her head. ā€œWhat do you need, Mother?ā€ ā€œYour father and I want to know how the new bodyguard is working out. Do you like him or do we need to find a replace

    “Well… I was wondering why a princess would sneak up to the rooftop in the middle of the night,” Kingston replied. “Not the easiest place to run off to.”“Are you scared of heights, King?” Romaine asked with a raised eyebrow. He thought of all the places he’d had to reach in order to hit his target.“No, not at all.” She stared at him for a long moment before she patted the space next to her. “Since you’re here, you might as well join me.”“If that is what you wish... Ma’am.”“And drop the ‘Ma’am’ part… No formalities when we’re alone,” she muttered, sounding more exhausted than he realized. “Since you’re King, I’m going to be Romy… No princess, no Ma’am, n

    Marisol called out for Romaine as she bustled around her living room, but the princess was in no mood to get out of bed. All night, she’d dreamt of Kingston kissing her, his hands all over her body as he stripped her bare and did things to her Romaine never thought possible. Every inch of her body cried out for him, and her thighs clamped tightly shut to stop the powerful throbbing happening again. She kept the covers pulled up over her face when the bedroom door was thrown open and heeled steps clicked across the floor. Her private assistant hummed as she scurried about the room, and Romaine listened as she threw the curtains open.“Come on now, Princess, the King, and the Queen have requested to meet with you.” Romaine

    “Nothing,” she whispered. “I wasn’t…”“Romy… tell me…”“I was thinking about my schedule for today and…”“Don’t lie to me, Romy,” Kingston said slowly but in a determined mode. “You’re not a liar, so don’t start now. Talk to me, my princess.” Romaine raised her eyes towards him, trying not to succumb to all the emotions she was feeling.“You, King…” she said as her fingers twisted into his shirt front. “I was thinking of you… I was remembering things you did to me in my dreams last night… and all the nights before.” If she thought Kingston was demanding of her earlier, when his lips found hers again, Romaine wasn’t sure they’d be able to stop. His tongue e

    His boss nodded and sighed, and Kingston heard the worry in it.“King, I need you to keep a close eye on him when he’s in the palace, and especially when he’s near Princess Romaine. A few years ago, he had no issue with her taking over the throne, as is her birthright. Now, however, I fear his mind has been corrupted by Alba, his mother. She never accepted King Hernando and Queen Dorothea as rulers of this country and, definitely, think the Princess is more or less an impostor. As for Thiago…”“What do you think he’ll do?”“Right now, we’re not sure,” Raoul told him. “But his dealings at the docks are being thoroughly investigated,” he added. “Did the others give you any details on such matters? I know Brent heard and saw something…”“Only that his business might not be as clean as he claims.”

    Romaine feigned feeling ill for dinner and took it in her rooms to avoid another confrontation with the King and the Queen. Kingston told her Brent would be outside her door while he ate, but if she needed anything, he would be only a phone call away. Her cheeks reddened before Kingston left her, that smoldering gaze of his glancing hard at her face. She hated that Kingston saw her flash of weakness but was thankful the man hadn’t said a word about it the rest of the day. Now that she was finally alone, Romaine decided to have a very quick bite and then just relax after that long hard day. She nibbled at freshly caught fish and salad but lost her appetite after a couple of bites and pushed the plate away. She got off the table, kicked off h

    He hesitated and turned away from her.“King, please…” she whispered. “What’s going on outside these walls? What aren’t they telling me?”“Your Royal Highness… please, don’t…”“King, I want to know what my aunt was talking about. So, would you be so kind to tell me?!” she almost begged him.“I don’t think this is a conversation for your room, Ma’am,” he said quietly, and the catch in his voice forced her to her feet to pace madly around her room.“Oh… that bad, huh?” Romaine whispered and started playing with her earlobe.“Your Royal Highness, please, calm down. There is no need to stress like this.”“And why not? My aunt seems so sure I’m not fit to rule! Why is she saying that? Huh? Why? I’ve been prepared for this moment all my life. I&rsqu

    ā€œThis is not true! Itā€™s all lies!ā€ Thiago yelled, but Kingston shook him hard enough for his teeth to rattle. Queen Dorotheaā€™s hand covered her mouth as King Hernandoā€™s opened and closed like a fish out of water.ā€œRomaineā€¦ What are you saying? This is madness! This is pure madness! Thiago is your cousin! Youā€™ve been close your entire livesā€¦ He cares for youā€¦ā€ā€œAnd he wants the throne, Father,ā€ Romaine argued angrily. ā€œBut you know thisā€¦ Both of you do.ā€ā€œI donā€™t understand,ā€ Queen Dorothea whispered. ā€œRomy, sweetheart, we would have known if you were kidnapped.ā€ā€œObviously not, Mother,ā€ she replied gently, trying to reign in her rage. ā€œYouā€™ve been too busy deciding for me, controlling my life, playing my strings like I was some soulless, stupid marionette to realize the actual danger I was in.ā€ She tossed the phone to Brent.ā€œCan you, please, play the file thatā€™s up, and make sure everyone can hear it.ā€ā€œImmediately, Your Royal Highness,ā€ Brent said.

    Two other men charged forward, their guns firing towards Kingston, but one was dropped by Iker and the second went down when Kingston fired.ā€œFourā€¦ Romy, what do you hear?ā€ā€œā€˜Nothingā€¦ Itā€™s quietā€¦ No! Get your filthy hands off me, you bastard!ā€™ā€ā€œRomy! Whatā€™s happening there?ā€ā€œā€˜Let me go, you coward! King!!!!! King!!!!!ā€™ā€ā€œā€˜Shut up, you little bitch!ā€™ā€ Raoul shouted. Kingston stared through the scope, and when Raoul came back into view with his gun aimed at Romaineā€™s head, his entire body exploded in fury.ā€œPut down your weapons!ā€ Raoul called out to the dockyard. ā€œDo it or Iā€™ll kill her! I swear to God I will!ā€ā€œā€˜King,ā€™ā€ Romaine whispered, and Raoul yanked hard on her hair. She reached back, trying to get free, but Raoul smacked her with the gun, and Romaine staggered.ā€œā€˜King, can you get a shot?ā€™ā€ Iker asked quietly. ā€œā€˜Iā€™m blocked. I canā€™t see shit.ā€™ā€ He scooted forward, his hands the steadiest theyā€™d been in years, and put his eye back to the

    Kingston unlocked his old storage shed with all of the things that he hadnā€™t taken to the palace with him. Iker slipped in behind him, and Kingston went straight to the gun safe in the back. He opened it and said he was going to give Brent an update. He stepped back and texted Brent, asking him to call if he could. A second later, his cell went off.ā€œā€˜King, Iā€™m here! Tell me everything! What did you find out?ā€™ā€ā€œI was able to hear Romy and trace her current locationā€¦ Brent, sheā€™s been kidnapped by Thiago and Raoul,ā€ Kingston said tightly.ā€œā€˜Are you kidding me?ā€™ā€ Voices echoed behind him, but they died down.ā€œā€˜Guess who is here telling them all Princess Romaine ran awayā€¦?ā€™ā€ā€œThiago? How in the hell had he gotten there already?ā€ā€œā€˜No, broā€¦ Itā€™s Alba. She showed the King and the Queen a text from Thiago saying Romaine told him early this morning she was taking off.

    Romaineā€™s mouth was dry and her vision fuzzy. She tried to remember exactly what had happened, but there was a blank in her memories. She moved, trying to stand, but her hands were bound in her lap and she was tied securely to a chair. Panic set in and her eyes widened.ā€œHelp!ā€ She yanked hard and yelled as she tried to break free.ā€œPlease! Somebody, help me!ā€ Romaine screamed over and over. Steps sounded close by, and when Thiago appeared in the doorway, Romaine tried to lunge toward him, but the ropes cut and burned into her.ā€œOh, damn it! You son of a bitch! What the hell do you think youā€™re doing? Let me go! Let me go right now!ā€ He pulled a gun from his waistband, and Romaine glared at him.ā€œIs that supposed to scare me? Well, I got news for you, you bastardā€¦ Iā€™m not scared of you,ā€ Romaine spat and hoped her voice wasnā€™t shaking like her hands.ā€œOh, of course not, little Princess,ā€ Thiago said casually. ā€œDonā€™t worry, sweetheartā€¦ This isnā€™t f

    Someone pounded on Kingstonā€™s door, and he shot up in bed, ready to hide Romaine, but she wasnā€™t thereā€¦ She was gone. The bed was cold on her side, and he frowned, wondering when sheā€™d snuck out last night. What kind of bodyguard was he since he didnā€™t hear her leaving the room?ā€œKing! Wake up, man! We have a situation!ā€ Brent yelled through the door.ā€œIā€™m up, dude! Just give me a minute,ā€ he called back and grabbed his clothes. Once he was dressed, Kingston unlocked his door, and Brent burst in.ā€œWhat is this about? What the hell is going on?ā€ā€œAll I can say for nowā€¦ Itā€™s not good, man! Not good at all! King Hernando and Queen Dorothea want to see you in the surveillance roomā€¦ NOW!ā€ Brent told him. ā€œIā€™m sorry, Kingā€¦ I really have no idea how it happened.ā€ā€œHow WHAT happened? Youā€™re not making senseā€¦ What are you talking about, man?ā€ Kingston asked in a cold tone.ā€œI think itā€™s best if you see for yourself, King,ā€ Brent said. His tone told Kingston whateve

    Shuddering against her, Kingston released her lips and groaned at the final pulse of release that jerked from the tip of his member. He was breathing hard, heavy. He couldnā€™t seem to get enough oxygen to his brainā€¦ He couldnā€™t still the thunder of blood enough to make sense of all the emotions, all the sensations, that had crashed inside him in a wave of ecstasy. She lay beneath him, sated, the tension slowly easing from her body, covered by him. The way she responded to him, the position, rocked him to the core. He hadnā€™t expected it. Kingston had expected her to feel shy about it. He even expected a denial. But he hadnā€™t expected the trust she had given him.ā€œYouā€™re mineā€¦ā€ he whispered again.ā€œI love you, King...ā€ He barely heard the words. Her face was pressed into the sheetsā€¦ It was no more than a whisper of sound, but it crashed inside him with a power that rocked him clear to his soul.ā€œCome here, loveā€¦ I want to feel you against me,ā€ he whispered a

    ā€œRomyā€¦ā€ Kingston said knowing what she had in mindā€¦ again. ā€œBaby, noā€¦ā€ā€œShhhā€¦ā€ she whispered and her lips followed her tongue, covering the memberā€™s head. Moaning, Romaine drew it into her mouth. Her tongue flickered over the underside as she sucked him in, crazy about the feel and the taste of him in her mouth. She had already taken him before, but somehow, she was hungry for him again. It was a hunger she could only associate to Kingston. Not to a drug. Not to anything unnatural. Needing Kingston was as natural as the land needing rain, or flowers needing sunshine. It was imperative. It was the key to survival. Drawing back, Romaine surveyed the slick wetness she had left on the tip, laved over it again with her tongue, and gloried in the hard groan that echoed from his chest.ā€œIā€™m so wet, Kingā€¦ So, so wetā€¦ā€ She lifted her head and stared up at Kingston, aroused past the point of sanity.ā€œI need you inside meā€¦ nowā€¦ā€ā€œHell!ā€ He laid h

    Romaine watched as Kingston walked towards her, his jaw clenched tightly and his eyes transfixed on her hand between her legs. His eyes darkened with each step he took until he stood next to her. The bulge in his jeans made her even wetter than she already was. Dancing with him at that club had made her blood boil, grinding against him as he gripped her ass hard in those hands. It made her almost want to go back to that first club, claim a booth, and let others hear her moans of pleasure as Kingston took her hard and fast. Kingston wanted to conquer her. She saw it in the way his hands twitched at his sides, hungry to touch her. When he knelt beside her, she moved her hand away, hungry to feel his fingers deep inside her or just stroking her clit. But Kingstonā€™s hand took the hand that she used between her legs, brought it to his mouth, and flicked his tongue out to taste. He licked her finger like a lollipop and then placed it on her mound.ā€œNo

    Kingston leered at her and let his heated gaze roam her body from her head to her toes until Romaine shivered.ā€œYeah, baby, they doā€¦ with good reason. Come on.ā€ There were several men in perfectly tailored suits sitting in a booth towards the end of the balcony. Ladies with long, flowing blonde hair surrounded them, and Kingston and Romaine paused and walked to the railing as if they were watching the crowd. A man passed by and asked for their passes. Romaine showed them while Kingston asked Iker if he had anything yet.ā€œThereā€™s a man up thereā€¦ It's supposed to be one of the suppliers,ā€ Iker answered. ā€œThe bartender said heā€™s here every Tuesday and Thursday nights, sits at the end booth.ā€ā€œWhatā€™s his description?ā€ā€œBuzzed head, tattoo on his neck, and has a fetish forā€¦ feathers.ā€ Kingston raised an eyebrow, and Romaine laughed.ā€œFeathers? Seriously?ā€ She leaned back with Kingston, and when he saw the man in the center of the booth, two
