“I’m sorry. My body hurts…from last night…” I confessed honestly. “Let me see…” the prince murmured as his hands moved further down. “Wait…” I protested as I tried to sit up on the bed. Ignoring the pain that flooded my senses, I tried my best to sit up and stop him. If I wasn’t wrong, then the prince was going to check down there as well, and I would rather die than to have him inspect me down there right now. “Shh…calm down, Mila. I just need to see if you’re fine or not. I’m sure things were very rough for you last night and it was also your first time,” he said calmly. How can he act so calm and practical about all this? His hands were on my thighs and I whimpered when he shifted his body out of the way and began spreading my legs. My entire body stiffened, and I instinctively began fighting him while trying to keep my legs closed.“Prince Leonard…please…no more…” I pleaded as my voice shook. I felt tears sting the back of my eyes as I was on the verge of crying. My body wa
I didn’t think that he would feel guilty towards hurting me like this. It might have been my own thinking, but for a moment, Prince Leonard just looked so sad. It was true that I was embarrassed about what happened and I also thought that how he made love to me was wild and extremely crazy; however, there wasn’t a moment when I thought that I regretted mating with the prince last night. He wanted me and I also wanted him, so we…“Please don’t apologize. There’s nothing for you to feel sorry for…” I said before I tried my best to offer him a smile. “Mila…” he whispered my name as he stared at me. “Well, I guess you could have been a little gentler…but I’ll be fine…” I said while trying to keep my tone light. “I see…” he murmured before looking away.It felt like the perfect opportunity for me to drag my body up into a sitting position so that I could finally close my thighs together. Prince Leonard did not look my way and I was thankful for a moment of some privacy as I tried my bes
Just when I thought that his interrogation was over, Prince Leonard leaned over closer to me. Instinctively, I backed away from him until my back hit against the headboard of the bed. The way his sharp blue eyes gazed at me told me that things were not yet over. My heart started racing in my chest for no good reason at all. “Did it feel good?” he asked. “…huh?” I made a questioning sound after a moment of completely silence.His sudden and extremely direct question truly caught me off-guard, and I didn’t know how to answer him. My face suddenly felt hot, and I knew that I had started to blush like a fool. “Sex. Did having sex with me feel good?” he asked bluntly. It wasn’t like I didn’t know what he was asking me the first time around, it was precisely because I knew exactly what he was referring to that I was too stunned to reply to him. “Yes or no, Mila…” the prince pressed as I continued to hesitate. He’s going to drive me insane someday very soon if he hasn’t managed to do t
When I woke up, it was already mid-afternoon and by the time that we were prepared to head back to the castle, the sun seemed ready to start its descent below the horizon. Prince Leonard seemed to be in an even better mood when he woke up. He looked extremely energetic and everything that I said made him laugh. I didn’t think that I was being extra funny or entertaining so it must have been his mood. I had never seen the prince laugh and chuckle so much like this and it made me wonder for a moment if this was some kind of illness. Based on my previous encounters with him, I was more used to the colder and sardonic version of him. It wasn’t like I thought that this change was necessarily a bad change; however, I was certainly not used to this side of him. “It’s so sad that we have to head back…” he grumbled like a kid when he drove us back. I glanced over to see the prince looking quite moody. When I left the palace with him, I didn’t think that we would end up spending the night ou
Suddenly, I felt restless and decided to climb out of the bathtub and get dressed. The sun had long set by that time, and it was already dark outside. Just when I got changed into a soft silk night gown, there was a disturbing knock at my bedroom door. Prince Leonard…It can’t be him. I sighed when I realized that it couldn’t possibly be the prince as I cursed myself silently for how disappointed I felt. “Yes?” I called out to the one knocking on my door. “It’s me,” a familiar voice said from the other side of the door. “Hi…” I said softly as I opened the door. Madame Sand stood in front of my door with an unreadable expression on her face. She was dressed in her usual uniform. Her eyes glanced past me into my room, and I immediately stepped aside to let her in before closing the door behind us. The atmosphere suddenly felt tense and that was probably because I realized that she was here to gather details for her report. “Take a seat,” she said as she gestured to the sofa.Altho
The door opened and then closed firmly after her and I was left all alone in my room again. Silence became my only companion and before I knew it, it was already quite late in the night. My body still felt sore, but I felt much better. Surprisingly, it was difficult for me to fall asleep although I was supposed to be exhausted and in need of rest and I blamed it on the day-time nap that I shared with Prince Leonard before we left the hotel to head back to the palace. As I laid alone on my bed with the lights switched off my mind drifted to think of Prince Leonard again. I wonder when I’ll get to see him again…That night, I dreamt of something quite strange. I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep but I wouldn’t be surprised had I dreamt of Prince Leonard. After all, it seemed like my mind had been filled with nothing but him for a long while now. That was precisely why I was quite surprised when I dreamt of a very large black wolf with mesmerizing blue eyes that sparked like a fr
Despite Madame Sand telling me that I needed to start my classes, the past few days had been fully unproductive. I haven’t been invited to attend any classes and spent my day just lazing around like my life had no meaning. The more free time that I had, the more time my mind had to wander. Only dark and lonely thoughts filled my mind as I woke up at sunrise just to spend the entire day thinking of the prince and waiting to hear from him. I watched the sunset from the balcony of my room alone at the end of the day without hearing any news of the prince. I didn’t even know where he was or what he was up to. “I’m just stuck here…” I muttered to myself as I leaned on the metal railing of my balcony. …**Around the same time**“Leo…” Darius called his brother’s name to get his attention. Darius watched as Leonard laid back in his large armchair with his heels resting on his worktable. The official papers were scattered all over the table in disarray. Darius sucked in a deep breath and
“That just sounds sick…” Leonard spat. “How long are you going to stay away from her?” Darius asked. “You don’t have to worry so much about her. I already sent her a gift that I’m sure that she would like,” Leonard replied to get his brother off his case. “Oh, a gift?” Darius said with pleasant surprise as his grey eyes lit up. “Yes, a gift. So, you can stop nagging me about Mila now. By the way, can you help me out with my work, brother?” Leonard asked sarcastically. “I’m always helping you and covering for you,” Darius said with a hint of complaint.“If you don’t want me to be king, you don’t have to…” Leonard said with a careless shrug.“Fine. I’ll take some tasks off of your hands. I have a trip coming up, so you’ll have to deal with your own work while I’m away,” Darius said as he finally gave in. “Where are you going?” Leonard asked with some surprise. “Abroad. Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you alone here to suffer while I go on holiday. It’s an official visit,” Darius exp
