I let out a cry as the entire dress fell down to pool at my feet on the floor. Prince Leonard’s arms were around my waist and then he basically lifted me a little up into the air to make sure that I was forced to step out of the dress. The prince did not hesitate to continue stripping me until I was completely naked. He seemed to have a thing for bathing me and helping me clean up especially after sex. I wondered if that was some customary thing that lovers did here or was this just his own personal preference. I let out a soft cry but didn’t bother to struggle anymore when he lifted me into his arms and then placed me down gently into the bathtub. The sound of water spraying down from above filled my ears just as the warm droplets fell onto my skin and hair. The prince stared down at me as he stood at the side of the bathtub and my hands immediately flew to cover my breasts as I tried to turn away from him. “I can’t believe you’re still embarrassed at this point…” he murmured in w
Being close to him made my body react in strange ways and that made me nervous. His hands left my body for a moment before he reached out to pump some liquid soap into the palm of his hand. My body stiffened for a moment when his hands returned to my chest and then he began lathering in the liquid soap onto my breasts. The slippery feeling of his large hands gliding against my sensitive womanly flesh felt so good. My nipples rubbed against the palm of his hands as he began squeezing my breasts again. It felt so different with the soap lubricating his hands and the bubbles covering my breasts. His hands moved downwards to lather soap onto my belly as I fought to control the throbbing desire that formed a knot in my lower abdomen. My pussy clenched and relaxed uncontrollably as I started to feel extremely wet. After focusing on cleaning my body for a while just as he had promised that he would, his hands moved upwards to grope and play around with my womanly assets again. “Ahh…Ahhh…”
The prince chuckled more cheerfully than I would have preferred in that situation, and I could tell that he was very amused at my reaction. “Of course, that would be too rough on you if I don’t exercise some self-control,” Prince Leonard replied while still chuckling a little. “Self-control?” I mumbled through the cracks between my fingers as I stole a peak at his entertained face. His hands lowly reached towards me before I felt the heat of his touch around my wrists. Slowly, he pulled my hands away from my face and I ended up staring right into his captivating blue eyes. He smiled at me adoringly before he lowered my hands down to my side. “Exactly. Self-control. Something that you clearly failed to exercise today and something that you need to get better at,” he lectured before he grinned at me. “I’m very sorry…” I mumbled apologetically. It seemed that there was more than history that the prince intended to teach me. He had mentioned something like that before when our class
Before I knew what I was doing, I had taken a few steps to follow after him.“Prince Leonard…” I called his name before I paused.“What is it?” he asked after turning around to face me. “Will you be here tomorrow?” I asked before I could stop myself. Now that those words had found its way out of my mouth, I found myself clenching my hands together tightly as I waited anxiously for his reply. “You’re supposed to study economics tomorrow according to your schedule. I’ll be here to teach you,” he replied.“I see…” I mumbled as I suddenly felt relieved that I would get to see him tomorrow. “Don’t tell me that you haven’t memorized your schedule…” he said with narrowed eyes. My eyes widened as I suddenly felt guilty. He was right about me not memorizing my study schedule. My eyes widened even further as I stared back at him when I realized that the prince had already memorized my schedule. “I’m sorry…” I apologized without having any excuse for myself. “Don’t apologize and just make
I guessed it wasn’t that surprising that they were not told who the order was from. After all, all they needed to do was follow orders. Even if the prince ordered for them to serve me, it wasn’t like the Madame needed to let them know. “I see…” I murmured softly while feeling slightly disappointed at not being able to find out the truth. “Anyways…about you and the prince…” Jessie said before she smiled at me. The two girls took a few steps towards me, and I found myself backing away like a scared animal that was gradually being backed into a corner. I let out a small dry laugh when I realized that the moment that I have very much dreaded had finally arrived. The way the girls’ eyes seemed to light ablaze with their curiosity made a nervous knot form in the base of my tummy. I wondered how much I had to tell them until they would be satisfied enough to leave me alone in peace. For a moment, I regretted chasing the prince away so soon the way that I did……“So, Prince Leonard is no
His words came back to me and so did the hauntingly solemn expression on his face when he said those words to me. For the life of me, I had no idea what he meant. “How can I possibly not be me?” I muttered to myself. “What are you thinking about all alone again, Mila?” Salena asked from close behind me.“Huh? Nothing. I was just reflecting on my lesson from yesterday,” I replied after turning around to face her. Hopefully, she did not hear what I had said just now. It would have sounded so strange, and I didn’t want to explain anything else anymore. “Will Prince Leonard be here today?” Jessie asked brightly. “Yes, he should be…” I replied. “He really does favor you so much. You’re so lucky, Mila…” Jessie said while clapping her hands together excitedly. “I’m not so sure about that…” I mumbled softly. I must have been a very non-diligent student because I wasn’t at all looking forward to having my first ever lesson in economics with the prince. All my mind could think about was
Although I should have known that already, hearing it from Prince Darius made my chest tighten painfully. I knew that I shouldn’t think about the past, but I couldn’t help but wonder what she was like and where she was now. Of course, I kept these silent thoughts and questions to myself without voicing them. “If you face any problems or if you just need someone to talk to, you can always reach out to me. I’ll listen to you, and I’ll always help you, Mila,” Prince Darius promised as his grey eyes kept on staring at me from across the table. “Thank you very much. I will keep that in mind,” I replied politely. It seemed like all he wanted to do was help and that was probably because he wanted things to work out for his younger brother. On top of that, he probably wanted to increase the chance that Prince Leonard and I will produce an ultimate alpha heir. I bit on my lower lip at the troublesome political conflict that I had been trying my best to ignore. “Sorry for dropping by unanno
“Salena. My name is Salena,” Salena introduced herself in a voice that was slightly more audible than a whisper. “Mila must be happy to have you two with her. It can get lonely for honorable maidens living in the Secret Chambers, or so I’ve heard. Mila will be busy with her lessons and I’m sure that many things will be expected of her. Dealing with my brother and his selfish demands isn’t going to be easy either. I guess I’m relieved that Mila will have the support from both of you,” Darius said warmly. “We will try our best, Your Highness,” Jessie said with enthusiasm. “She doesn’t talk much, does she?” Darius asked as he turned his attention to Salena again. “I apologize for her. Salena isn’t very talkative, I’m afraid…” Jessie quickly apologized while Salena only stared back at the prince. “Jessie, can you relay my message to Madame Sand?” Darius asked.“Of course, Your Highness,” Jessie replied instantly.“Please tell her that I send my regards,” he instructed.“Is that…all?”
“Congratulations to us, you’re pregnant, Mila!” Prince Leonard announced excitedly.“I’m pregnant?” I asked more out of curiosity than out of surprise. Although I knew that the prince would never joke about something like this, I still found it hard to believe that I was suddenly pregnant.“That’s right, you’re pregnant, and that means we’re about to have another baby,” Prince Leonard said before breaking into another wide smile.“I’m…really pregnant?” I whispered as I struggled to wrap my head around the prince’s sudden announcement.“The doctor said that you might have been feeling tired because you’re in the early stages of pregnancy. I’m sorry that I hadn’t realized this sooner; otherwise, I would have kept all the ceremonies short so that you didn’t have to go through all of that when you’re feeling so tired,” the prince said apologetically as he took my hands into his. I kept staring at the prince as he buried the side of his face against the palm of my hand.“We’re about to hav
“Have you eaten anything? Actually, that’s a very stupid question. I know that you haven’t really eaten anything because you haven’t had the time, right?” the Duchess asked knowingly.Although I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to anyone, the Duchess was spot on correct that I hadn’t had the time or the opportunity to eat anything. The day had been so busy from early in the morning up until the evening, and everything seemed more important than filling my own stomach.“It’s fine, I’ll make sure to eat something when this reception is over,” I told her reassuringly before offering her a smile. Duchess Flavia only gave me a disapproving glare before shaking her head from side to side.“You look like you’re about to faint. It’s like I can see your face go pale even with all the makeup,” she said as she brought her face closer to mine to get a closer look at me.“I’m feeling fine,” I told her while I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t feeling light-
"Your daughter looks like you," Prince Leonard commented."And I think that your son looks like you, and I'm sure that he will grow up into a great king," Regina said, and I could hear the confidence in her voice."Let me know if you ever need anything," the prince told her with a warm smile."You're always too kind. Please take good care of yourself and of Mila. Mila, please take care of our King," Regina said, turning to address me."I will," I replied shortly before finding myself smiling at her.Regina truly did look happier than the time when she lived in the palace. It felt like the shadow that had always been following her around and haunting her was no longer there. I could tell that she was no longer living under pressure, and it made her shine with happiness and freedom. It seemed that I didn't have to worry about her anymore.After some parting words, Regina led her daughter away from us so that we could converse with other guests. I had no idea how many conversations we ha
Prince Leonard probably had no idea that it was the way his beautiful eyes looked at me and the way his alluring lips curved up into a smile that was responsible for making everything else fade away from my field of vision so that all I could do was focus on him."Thank you for making me your queen," I whispered softly and sweetly.The prince only nodded his head once before carefully placing the crown on the top of my head. When I was aware of the world surrounding us again, all I could hear was the thundering sound of applause that echoed in the royal hall...."Hang in there for just a little longer, Mila," the prince said before flashing me a teasing smile."I guess we're done with two out of the three parts of what we have planned for today," I mumbled before stifling a yawn. I had no idea why I felt so lethargic and sleepy, although it was only just early in the evening. So far, the prince and I operated as the perfect team to pull off two of our most important events of the day
His words touched me like never before, and I could feel it in my heart and soul that I reciprocated his feelings and thoughts. I had never understood the concept of fated mates until I experienced it myself along with the prince. Our bond felt stronger and firmer than any endearing words of promise."I love you. I’ll love you forever," I said the words that came naturally to my mind.**Back to the present**When it came my turn to say ‘I do’, I found myself managing to say it without any difficulty. It must have been partly because I truly meant it when I vowed to be with the prince in sickness and in health, through thick and thin; however, I was certain that everything felt easier because I knew that we had a bond that even the heavens could never break."I do," I said firmly when it was my turn.When we shared the kiss to seal our wedding vows, I knew that what we had was something that was going to last forever until the end of our lifetimes....Our wedding ceremony in the churc
I gave Logan's hand a slight squeeze before taking my first step forward into the church. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I reminded myself to keep my head held high, curving my lips into one of my most beautiful smiles. Without any hesitation, I made my way forward down the aisle. The fact that each step forward brought me closer to the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle gave me the comfort and courage to continue on. I didn't even bother trying to identify faces that I might recognize in the crowd of guests present on both sides of me.It felt as if all my nervousness melted away completely when my eyes met Prince Leonard's. I’d always thought he looked amazingly attractive, but seeing the prince wearing an all-white tuxedo standing in front of the altar with such a loving smile on his face as he waited for me was out of this world. I felt my heart skip a beat in my chest, and it wasn't at all because of my nervousness. Everything and everyone around me slowly faded aw
It was clear that everything was too extravagant for my own taste to the point where it must have been pretty obvious to Prince Leonard that I had no hand in the selection and design of the proposed decorations. "I'm actually fine with anything. I think everything they've chosen is very beautiful, and their work is a lot more professional than anything I could have done by myself," I admitted to the prince honestly."If that's the case, then fine, but if there's anything that you don't like, just tell them to take it out," the prince said firmly."I just think it's easier to let them sort everything out. It's enough for me that we'll be getting married and that Logan will be there to witness our union," I said while trying to keep my tone cheerful. I was certain that if I picked out anything by myself or intervened with the guest list, I would be bringing unwarranted complications and troubles that I didn't want to deal with."If that's what you say," the prince said after finally gi
I should have known that the prince would never want to become the next king for his own personal gain. I found myself nodding my head naturally in agreement with his plan when I realized that I also had to play my part in contributing to the happiness of our son in the future.“I agree that that seems to be the easiest way. I guess if you become king, you can change the rules in whatever way you want,” I said while seeing more than a glimpse of hope.“It’s not going to be that easy. Many people on the committee are going to be against it, but this is our best shot. No matter what, we’re going to make this successful and change the rules of this country for the better,” the prince said, so motivatingly that I found myself feeling slightly excited.“I guess bringing change, especially big changes, isn’t going to be easy,” I said, but by then I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. In my mind, I had already envisioned such a bright future, and it gave me the greatest honor to be able to co
“What is it?” I asked, feeling a sense of worry stir in the pit of my stomach.“I’m concerned about Logan,” the prince confessed in a whisper.“Concerned? What is there for you to be concerned about? Is something wrong?” I bombarded him with questions, thinking there might be a threat to Logan’s safety. I had no idea why I felt that way, but I just had a very bad feeling.“Remember when you asked me why I changed my mind about taking over the throne? I’m sorry, but I haven’t been entirely honest with you,” the prince said with a regretful look on his face.“It’s fine. It must have been hard for you,” I said understandingly while wondering what had the prince feeling so concerned. “What is it about Logan?” I asked as I started to frown with worry.“Logan is getting a lot better at controlling his transformations now, but he’s still too young for us to be sure about what will happen in his future,” Prince Leonard said.It was true that our son had improved tremendously at controlling hi
