Royal Masquerade - The Prince And Cinderella Chapter Twenty
Nick surveyed the garden, having spent an hour here. He had been observing Tate and Ella grilling on the family bbq and serving food onto the long table for everyone’s enjoyment.When he looked around him, they were not with everyone else lined up to grab some of the food. He noticed they were at the back fence, taking advantage of the moment when everyone’s back was turned, sneaking out the back gate.He had been trying to shake Ava off for most of the last hour. She was always near, or one of her friends. Touching him or invading his personal space. It all made him very uncomfortable. He didn’t want Stephen to get the wrong idea. Because he wouldn’t touch the woman with a 10-foot pole.Smiling to himself, Nick moved to the back of the line and when no one was watching. Grabbed a bottle of wine from the cooler and followed the two women who didn’t care about him being a prince, who just thought of him as Nick. He enjoyed being around them.As he stepped out the back gate, Nick found

The afternoon raced by after the wine and food was gone. They could still hear the party going on in the Conner’s backyard, none of them showed any interest in returning.Tate and Ella had slid down and rested their head on the pillows and Nick grabbed an extra one the girls didn’t use. Observing the blue sky, he reclined beneath the willow tree.“How long do you think they will party for?” Tate asked sleepily.“With Ava, who knows?” Ella didn’t really care. She was having a great time. In both Nick’s and Tate’s company.“I don’t care as long as I don’t need to go back in there. Her friends a like Piranha.”Tate giggled, “Scared of a few girls, Nick.”Nick grinned, looking over at Tate. “Of Piranhas. Yes.”His eyes drifted to Ella’s laid out form. Her arms lay across her flat stomach. She looked so different relaxed. Ella’s glasses had moved down her nose. Her lips looked even fuller than they normally did when she was resting. Her glasses really took away from her face. Had she ever

Nick dreamed of making love to Cindy that night. Pinning her under him on his bed, so she could never escape him. She wasn’t crying for help. The only release she wanted was a sexual one. Arching her back, pushing her beautiful plump high breasts into his chest, begging to be taken hard. He didn’t know how they had become naked and he didn’t care. Just lifted her leg over his hip, Nick slammed into her velvet core, making her cry out, “Yes, oh Nick.”Nick moved his hand to her breast, gripping her nipple between his thumb and index finger, pinching. Cindy cried out from a mixture of pleasure and pain. Liking the sound, he did it again as he thrusted his hips forward into her body.She didn’t want a slow loving as her hand slid down his back before grabbing his buttocks and pulling him into her while she lifted beneath him, demanding more. She was wild, a wanton….. then his dream woman was gone.Nick woke instantly, rolling over, throwing the cover off him. Looking down at his strain

Nick was dreaming of Cindy again. Maybe because he was due to fly back to the UK in two days, the dream was so vivid. Almost real.They were dancing around the ballroom, just the two of them. Music drifted in through the windows. Nick held her tight up against his body as they danced. Then the scene morphed into that night at the pond, with him trying to get her out of the water. She was sassing him with her smart mouth. It turned him on when she challenged him. He loved the fact she stood up to him.In his dream, he told her he wasn’t marrying Sophia. His beautiful Cindy glided out of the pond into his waiting arms. The next part of the dream had them in bed together. How did most of his dreams about Cindy end up with him making love to her? Nick was subconsciously worried that she would disappear again. So he tried pulling her closer to him, but Cindy laughed, having other ideas about where this was going.She kissed his ear before sliding down his body, taking his manhood into h

Ella sat on the sofa, reading a book she really had no genuine interest in. Life was grey and dull right now. Even with her new life in London just around the corner. She was all packed and ready to go.Telling her parents hadn’t been that hard in the end. They had Ava living back in the village, about to marry a very wealthy man. It didn’t matter to them that their other daughter was going to move away.They knew if they needed her, she would be there. Because Ella had always been the responsible one. The one to call on if something needed doing. She just wasn’t as wanted as Ava. Ava was the stand out child, always in need and want of attention.Ella felt so lost and that was partly to do with her family, but also having had Nick and lost him. Well, she hadn’t had him, really. Nick had belonged to another.She couldn’t believe she was so lifeless without Nick here. It wasn’t like they had a relationship.“It was a one-night stand! Girl, get a grip on yourself and snap out of this.” El

“How did you figure it out?” Ella was truly shocked that he had.“I desired two women simultaneously, which isn't typical of me. I almost had a heart attack watching you eat a strawberry.” Nick leaned in, putting his hands behind her head, pulling the pins out that were holding her bun in place. Letting it fall about her shoulders and down her back to her waist. The ends of her hair hidden in her bun had been untouched by the spray she used, were still the beautiful colour he remembered.“Lusting after me?” Ella questioned, never having anyone lust after her, not even Stephen. Not with her dressed like this and downplaying her looks.“Oh yes! You may try to hide yourself behind ….” Sweeping his hand up and down “…this, but you can’t hide the real you. I’m not just talking about your beautiful shell.” Laying his hand on her chest “but what’s in here?”“Oh..” tears filled her eyes, Ella realised Nick really saw her. “I was so horrible to you the first few times we met after the ball.”“

“Now enough talk. I want you naked, so I can fuck your brains out like I have in my dreams.” His hot breath washed over her heated skin.Ella burst out laughing. “That didn’t sound very regal, Nick.”Nick lifted her and carried her into the bedroom that Ella directed him to“Fuck Regal, I need practice on this baby making business.”Beside the bed, Nick put her back on her feet. Her hands rested on his shoulders as she gazed up at him. Nick swiftly pulled the t-shirt she was wearing over her head, throwing it onto the floor. Unsnapping her jeans, he pushed them down over her hips, her eyes never leaving his beautiful, chiselled face.As he looked down at her, she could see how much he wanted her. His eyes flared and his lips parted. Ella kicked the jeans the rest of the way off. One of his hands gently caressed her breasts, igniting a fire within her. His touch travelled down her stomach, eventually reaching between her thighs. Through her panties, he discovered her arousal. Ella put h

Ella opened her eyes to find Nick laying on his side beside her. Watching her.“Morning beautiful.” Nick’s voice was gravelly from sleep, so he hadn’t been watching for too long.Stretching, Ella smiled “Hi.” Looking around at the mess they had made of her bed. They didn’t have a pillow between them on the bed, and they had pulled up the bottom sheet on Ella’s side. Ella assumed they must be on the floor. Ella thanked God that she had the sheet over her, and Nick was covered from the waist down. Despite no longer being a virgin, her shyness didn’t vanish immediately. This was only the second time she had been with a man. Same man, but still.Nick saw the pink on her cheeks and looked around himself with a smirk on his face. “We really know how to have a reunion, don’t we?”Ella’s cheeks got pinker, making Nick laugh. “I love that you still get embarrassed after last night. You are the most naturally sensual woman I have ever met.”Nick ran a finger over her kissed, swollen lips. Leani

Royal Masquerade - The Prince And Cinderella Epilogue
Ella lifted the earrings Nick had given her for their third wedding anniversary just last week. They matched her engagement ring and the necklace Nick had given her on their 2nd anniversary.They had a state dinner tonight. Nick was currently in the shower. Having arrived late from state affairs. Anthony had stepped down at the beginning of last year. So, he could spend more time with his beloved grandchildren. Anthony had been over the moon when she had fallen pregnant straight after their wedding.The wedding had been an emotional rollercoaster. Considering the state of her family, it hadn’t been surprising to Ella. She was just glad her sister hadn’t sold her story to the media. Ella had half expected her to. The UK had already experienced a similar drama with their royal family, and it didn’t end well for anyone. Perhaps that’s why Ava decided not to go down that path.Nick had helped her through it all. When Ava refused to come, so had Ella’s mother. But her father had gone agains

Nick found her on the terrace one morning. Sitting down, he looked at Ella, studying her.She knew he wanted to say something. “What?”“How do you feel about a visit from Stephen and Ava? They are currently in Greece for their honeymoon. Stephen called to say their wanted to finish their honeymoon off with a few days here.”Ella wondered if it was truly Stephen’s idea or Ava’s. She knew she couldn’t very well say no. Stephen was Nick’s friend and it would seem unforgiving to never see Stephen or her sister again. With a sense of dread she said, “Ok.”“Are you sure? I have no issue saying, no, we don’t have the time right now.”“I think it needs to be dealt with, don’t you? At some point, we will see them again. Our wedding. It’s better that all the awkwardness is out of the way before then.” Taking a deep breath, she asked, “So, when do they plan to be here?”“This afternoon.” Nick said simply.“So soon?” she could do this. “Ok.”Later that day, the family limo pulled into the circula

Ella moaned, stretching in bed. Her bones protested in a way that reminded her she had been well loved last night and into the morning.Sun streamed through the bedroom windows. It was the sunlight that had woken her up. Looking at the empty space beside her, she realised Nick must have left soon after she had fallen asleep that last time, in the pre-dawn hour. Picking up her phone on the bedside table, she saw it wasn’t as late as she had thought it might have been. 7:47am.She was going to be truly tired today, but she took comfort in the fact that if she was, then so was Nick. Grinning, Ella sat up in bed, stretching her arms above her head. She needed a shower, and what she really needed more than anything was something to eat. The energy used last night had really increased her need for food. Slipping from the bed, Ella headed for the shower.Twenty minutes later, she was dressed in a yellow and white flowery sundress and tan sandals, hair pinned back at the side and makeup free.

Ella got into her nightgown and was brushing her hair, then she heard the door click closed behind her. Nick was leaning against the door with his arms folded over his broad chest, silently watching her. “Don’t you have your own room?” Ella said in a cheeky manner, laying her hairbrush on the dressing table and facing Nick. He grinned at her. “Yes! You’re mistaken if you think I’ll sleep there by myself. So it’s here or there? But I didn’t think you would enjoy sneaking back here in the morning.” “Oh, the dreaded walk of shame.” Teasing still. Nick laughed. “I hope leaving my bed isn’t a walk of shame.” Ella blushed, thinking of the things he did to her. It wasn’t shame she felt in his arms. Nick stepped away from the door, stalked her across the room. But she didn’t wait for him. Ella met him halfway, sliding her arms around his neck and reaching up on tiptoes to cover his mouth with hers and effectively moulding her body against his hard, desirable body. He was so deliciously w

They wouldn’t be sharing a room, which left Ella disappointed. On seeing her downcast face, Nick pulled her into her assigned room, closing the door. “It’s only for appearance’s sake. I will still be in here with you at night, Bella.” Taking her into his arms.“Are you reading my mind?” She demanded, slightly worried.Nick laughed. “No, your face is an opened book though.”“I will have to learn how to hide my expressions better.”“I enjoy that you don’t hide anything. It’s so you. Now I better go and get ready.” Nick said before slipping from the room to find his own.They had little time to get dressed and Nick told her she didn’t need to dress up for dinner. But she still changed into one of the dresses Em had sent with her. A beautiful green dress that hugged her upper body but fell into a full skirt to her knees. With some light makeup. She was just putting on her shoes when Nick knocked on the door before pushing it opened. “Ready?”“As I’ll ever be.”Smiling, he held out his hand

The next day was a hive of activity. Their flight to Cristonia was to depart from Heathrow Airport at 1pm that afternoon. Ella had already packed for her move to London. Nick had arranged for someone to come in and move the rest of her stuff to her new homeland.She was just taking two suitcases for now. This would be more than enough to see her through until the rest of her stuff arrived.To say she was nervous was an understatement. She felt petrified! Today she would meet his father, but not only that, the man was a king. Holy shit, was she ready to marry into this family? She had lived her life in the shadows, then all of a sudden, she was taking centre stage with Nick. It was a world stage at that, not just with her family.Their plane left Heathrow on time. She was glad their flight wasn’t too long. Because any longer and she would have brooded. Nick never left her side, held her hand during the flight.Ella hoped that her outfit, a simple white pantsuit with a royal blue shell

“Stephen.” Nick acknowledged Stephen with just his name, taking Ella out of his arms and into his own. Ella had done so well today. It had been hard on her, he knew. But she needed to fight her demons, and she had come out on top.“Thanks again for coming.” Stephen reaffirmed, looking back at Ella.“Ella, why don’t you go get your bag and we can leave? Ask Tate if she would like a lift.” Before kissing her on the lips and staking his claim in front of Stephen.When she walked away, Ella felt slightly dazed.“Well, that showed me,” Stephen said.“Stephen, you are my friend…. but if I ever catch you looking at Ella like that again, I will break your nose, and that’s only for starters. Do I make myself clear?”Stephen responded like any spoilt child, “Ella is my friend, and I had her first.”Nick got in his face, saying in a deadly voice. “Let’s make one thing clear: you never had her.” Flicking his head towards Ava. “and after choosing Ava over Ella, you have no rights. So, I repeat myse

As Ella sat down in her seat next to Nick, he put his hand on her thigh to let her know he was aware of her, even though he was busy talking to another guest.A feeling of relief washed over Ella, as if someone had taken a weight off her shoulders. As if sensing her feeling, Nick rubbed his thumb over her leg.Tate sat down as well in her assigned seat. They smiled at each other. Dragon slayed. This had been her biggest fear today. Thanking God that it had all happened in the bathroom. Ava had been waiting for her to come out of that toilet stall. But why was she so surprised when it was her that had stepped out? Because she had, Ella had seen the shock on her face.Frowning now. Needing to run this through. Was Ava still up to her old tricks? Looking for the richest man available. This was her wedding day. Surely, she wasn’t that mercenary. But nothing else made sense.Shaking her head, feeling sorry for Stephen and the Blackmore family. Almost glad though Ava wasn’t her problem anymo

In the back seat of the limo, Nick squeezed Ella’s hand. “Are you ok?”“I will be,” Ella reassured him.“Do you want to pop back home before the reception? We don’t have to go to it if you don’t want to.”“I promise my dad,” Ella said, unsure.“You don’t owe them anything.” Nick growled, expressing anger at the way they had treated her. Not just today, but always.“I know, but I owe it to myself to finish this. If I don’t go to that reception, people will think I’m still hung up on Stephen.” Ella pleaded with him to understand.“Are you?” Nick asked. Needing to know.Ella looked at him. “Of course not. I know he wasn’t for me. I have known that for a while.”Taking her hand to his lips “Good.. maybe going back to your place isn’t a good idea after all.”Puzzlement overcame Ella. “Why?”“Because it was hard enough to leave the apartment without taking you the first time. If we go back there, you will not stand a chance and I would say screw the reception.” Nick clarified for her.Heat s
