“You can look all you want, I won’t get embarrassed,” Asana said with a sardonic chuckle. Salena was shocked again at the words directed at her and all she could do was avert her gaze before nodding her head shyly. Her reactions only drew another laugh of amusement from Asana who continued to parade around her dressing room in nothing but her own skin. Madame Sand let out a loud sigh before shaking her head from side to side. The way that Asana acted was nothing new to Madame Sand; however, she still couldn’t bring herself to appreciate Asana’s over confidence and blatant nature. “Madame Sand…” Asana purred in a teasing voice before she continued laughing. “What is it?” Madame Sand asked sternly. Asana turned to face the Madame before she softly bit on the fingertip of her index finger while cocking her head slightly to the side in wonder. Her eyes were even wider and rounder than before as she stared at Madame Sand. For a moment, she stopped giggling and there was an air of serio
“Umm…yes…” Salena replied in a nervous whisper. “What do you think?” Asana asked before she flashed Salena a wide smile. “Umm…what do I think about…?” Salena asked before trailing off. “What do you think Prince Darius would like? You know…for tonight…” Asana asked before winking at Salena’s reflection in the mirror. Salena felt another rush of heat flooding into her face as she blushed a deeper shade of red at Asana’s words. It was bad enough for her that she had to witness the conversation unfolding around her but the situation had headed for the worst when Asana actively included her into the conversation. “Umm…I don’t know…” Salena murmured while stuttering a little. “You don’t? That’s a shame. Maybe I can find out what he likes by asking him. What do you think? Is that a good idea?” Asana asked before she laughed quite loudly. “Stop teasing the poor girl,” Madame Sand interjected. “I’m not teasing her and please don’t call her a poor girl. She must be around my age so why
“What are you talking about? I don’t follow you at all,” Madame Sand said with a regrettable shake of her head. The older woman was even more confused when she saw the calculating smirk that appeared on Asana’s lips. Due to her background, Madame Sand already knew that Asana was difficult to deal with. Although women living in the Sacred Chambers came from various backgrounds to ensure that the princes were well entertained and interested, she was surprised when a young woman with vast experience in the adult industry was sent here. To be more exact, she was purchased on contract to serve here. Madame Sand closed her eyes and let out another sigh as she thought that she might have lost a couple of years from her lifespan just talking to Asana. However, she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t at least a tiny bit interested in what Asana had to say. Perhaps, it was possible that this young woman who had experience well beyond her years in her relevant field could see or sense s
When Asana lifted her head again, her face was once again brave, and her smile was radiantly bright. “If you can get the prince’s permission to serve him exclusively, then you may retire in the way that you want. However, you do understand that you can’t leave this place until your contract is over, right?” Madame Sand asked with a worried look on her face.“Of course, I’m aware of that. Thank you, Madame Sand,” Asana replied before turning and heading for the door. A slight throbbing pain pressured the sides of Madame Sand’s skull and she had to raise her hand to rub them as she closed her eyes. Her job was a busy one and there were always so many people, parties, and political agendas involved. Just as that thought ran through her mind, her mobile phone began vibrating against her thigh where she had placed it in the pocket of the skirt of her uniform. One glance at the same on the screen told her that another storm was coming her way. “How may I be of assistance to you, Prime Mi
It won’t be too much longer before I get to see the prince. I just had to hang on until then…The effects of the temporary cure to my condition that the prince had helped me figure out were clearly fading. Because he referred to it as a temporary remedy, I knew that its effects would wear off eventually as time passed by; however, I didn’t think that it would be this soon. My heart clenched in my chest as my lower abdomen clenched from my own ache of desire for the prince. Was Prince Leonard’s palace always this big and was his bedroom always this far away from the entrance? The walk felt too excruciatingly painful, and the hallway seemed to stretch on forever. Each turn seemed to suck up so much of my energy. I placed my hand over my chest and felt the wild beating of my heart while feeling thankful that I at least had a knee-length coat on top of the revealing dress that I had on. Even though it wasn’t thick it served its purpose of hiding away my form very well. After a short whi
After I paused in front of the chair that was meant for his visitor, he quickly showed his disagreement. I blushed at his words as his arms loosened from my waist before he pulled on my hand to lead me around the table. “Come here,” he repeated once again.Prince Leonard sat down on the large chair behind his table before his arms reached for my waist and quickly pulled me down onto his lap. I let out a soft sound of surprise when I landed on his lap with his arms pulling me tightly against his body. He smells of roses…His sweet familiar scent along with the warmth of his body held me as his willing captive. I closed my eyes and sighed as my body relaxed comfortably against his. It felt strange for him to hold me like this at first, but I had gotten used to it and had started to like the skinship that we shared. “Prince Leonard…” I murmured his name softly. “Did you look forward to tonight?” he asked softly. I gasped as his hands began moving to caress my belly and my waist. It
Desire clouded my mind but no matter how good he was making me feel, I was too greedy to be satisfied.I want more. I want more of him…“Ahhh…Ahhh…” I moaned in between my rapid breathing. I was panting hard by the time that the prince slid his tongue out of my mouth and parted his lips from mine. My lips felt swollen from his kisses as I stared longingly at his lips. I didn’t want him to stop kissing me and I hated the fact that his hands on my breasts had stilled. My body yearned for his caresses and frustration started rising up in my chest. “Prince Leonard…” I whispered his name sweetly. “Have you eaten?” he asked before he smiled at me. The prince asked as if that passing thought had just entered his mind. I blinked in confusion at this abrupt break in our passionate session. I just wanted him to keep on kissing me. As soon as his lips separated from mine, I yearned to feel his warm and soft lips against mine once more. Food was the last thing on my mind and even if I was hun
“Ahh…Prince…” I moaned and murmured as my eyes widened in shock.His hands skillfully slipped under the coat that I had on. I knew that I should look away from the mirror and the illicit scene that I saw unfolding there, but I just couldn’t look away. His hand disappeared under my clothes and then I felt the heat of his hand cupping my breasts through the very thin fabric of the dress that I had on. “Prince…Leonard…” I whimpered.“Call me Leo. How many times do I need to tell you that?” he reminded me with a hint of disapproval in his tone. I could tell that he wasn’t really mad at me and that he would probably forgive me even if he was when I started moaning his name. “Leo…Leo…Ahhh” I moaned his name over and over again as his hands worked to pleasure my breasts. I wanted him to take off my clothes so that he could touch me directly; however, I also didn’t want him to stop pumping my breasts. My nipples were already rock hard, and the tight sensation made them feel slightly painf
“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
