2019, December 6th CC held her head up high as she walked towards Troy's chambers, already knowing that she was about to do something she was going to regret. That she was about to make a deal with the prince of darkness. But her father had already shut her down and she was out of options. CC had to go and get Bart. Bring him back from the clutches of the vixen he couldn’t seem to stay away from. And once she had, she was going to sit him down so that they could talk. Caroline Condor wasn’t about to end up like her brothers. She was second fiddle to no one. Troy was sitting at his desk, attentively typing away on his laptop when CC walked in. Unceremonious as ever, she placed herself decidedly in front of him, slamming the laptop closed. Troy’s sexy brown eyes met hers as she brought her face down to the level of his. He grinned. “Have you had a change of heart, my dear princess?” Troy asked in that voice that was between sultry and charm, the one she hadn’t heard since she left Sat

Just then, Aaron burst through the doors. “What are you doing about your missing fiancee?!” he boomed. CC withdrew her hand quietly. Aaron looked between the two of them. “Well isn’t this cozy? Your fiance just bolted with his and the two of you are in here doing what exactly?” To say that he was frustrated was an understatement. How could she be this stupid? This careless? Did she forget that she was a fucking queen?! That people were just waiting for her to show her face in public, where she was vulnerable and unprotected, where they could end her life with just one little bullet?“Making plans to retrieve them,” CC answered. “Prince Troy has just agreed to loan us his manpower.” “Oh he has, has he? How gracious of him to want to protect his bloody fiancee!” Aaron couldn’t stay still. He remembered hearing the gunshot when James got shot. The five years of not knowing whether he was dead or alive. He was right back there, living that nightmare again and she was probably just f

Meanwhile, back at the palace, CC and Aaron, with the aid of Troy’s men, tore Aria’s room apart, searching her desk, her devices, everything. Anything to find some sort of clue as to where they were, what she had planned. CC’s own concerns and insecurities took a backseat to her concern for Aaron. He had crazy, tortured eyes. How had she missed it? How had she not seen what this woman had come to mean to her brother? He swore up and down that he was going to kill Bart, but as much as she knew he loved her, this wasn’t about Bart and CC. This was about the engaged woman he probably couldn’t have. Aaron’s excessive rummaging and throwing stopped abruptly as his hand closed on something. His face paled. He’d been so focused, so worried about her getting shot that he wasn’t thinking about all the stuff Aria had planned for her little outing with Bart. As he looked down into his hand, his eyes grew red with rage. Not wanting to alarm CC any more than she already was, he took a deep breath

"Aria, stop the car!" Bart screamed. He had been trying to get her attention since the moment she started driving, but she wasn't hearing him. Now she wasn't just charging into traffic like a crazy person though, she was driving straight towards an SUV, one that meant to cut her off. Aria slammed on the breaks, stopping inches from the black SUV. The doors opened and there she was, his girl. Bart looked visibly relieved. CC didn't look hurt or sad, she was pissed. He laughed at himself and how eager he was to find out just how mad she was. "Guess you were right after all," Aria choked out. "She came for you.""Looks like someone came for you too," said Bart, seeing Aaron waiting behind them in the distance. "Be careful Aria. Aaron Condor is a dick."Aria laughed. "Tell me something I don't know."Her eyes softened. "Thank you Barry, for today. For having known Ethan.""I'll always be here for you, Ria. You and I, we're family," he said, kissing her forehead before getting out of t

2017, September 6thPrince Troy arrived the next evening with a man in tow, but she was not at his side. Aria had been anxiously awaiting their arrival, not knowing how she would face her rival. The wound was fresh. She meant to avoid this woman, to not go down for dinner tonight, but now it seems her anxiety had been for nothing. The prince’s anxiety, however, persisted as he was welcomed into the castle walls. “Forgive me everyone, I am afraid I cannot stay for dinner after all. I only came to offer a greeting, apologize in person and beg that you allow me to reschedule,” said Prince Troy.Diane went to her brother and hugged him. “What’s wrong?” she asked.Prince’s Troy’s face softened and he smiled at his sister, kissing her cheek.“You look well Di. I am very glad to see it. It’s nothing to concern yourself with. My fiancee’s… a bit of a loose cannon. It seems she and her brother gave Duke Dormer over here the slip.” Diane gave the duke a look and then returned her eyes to her

Aria, Prince Troy and Ethan went alone, not wanting to draw attention and risk being recognized before they’d found the duo. Her parents were super cool. She had had a more liberal upbringing than most princesses, but Aria was not often outside the castle’s walls. So when Prince Troy took them to a nightclub, Ethan practically attached himself to her. “Let go. How are we going to find them if your eyes and arms are glued to me? You’re freaking me out.”“Sorry. Just stay close okay? I don’t want to have to come looking for you too.” Her eyes wandered around the place like she was a child at an amusement park for the first time. Aaron grinned. She was like a little lost lamb. A foxy goddess with red hair flowing down her back like flames, but a lost lamb just the same. The first timers were his favorite, the ones he could corrupt. He wanted to run his fingers through those flames, touch her everywhere as he moved his body with hers, make her beg him to do it more. It had been a while s

Aaron was feeling generous and so he was going to let it go, he really was, but she was looking at him now, calling him with her eyes. He flashed her his pearly whites and she turned away. He laughed. Now she was just being a tease. He jumped down, took a pen out of his pocket and scribbled something down on the bar. Then he walked right up to her, pulling her back against his front. She gasped and tried to turn around, but he held her in place. “Relax,” he whispered seductively, his lips pressed up against her ear as he ran his fingers through her hair, dragged them down her arms, his hips moving with hers. “Just go with it.” Aria’s eyes found his as she looked back when he wrapped his arms around her. They were moving as one now, his hands gently manipulating her movements. He spun her out and when he pulled her back she surprised him. She jumped onto him and wrapped her legs around his waist. This woman was not at all what he thought she was. She might be new to nightclubs, but ca

"You played dirty. I thought you didn’t lie. I thought it was against the rules,” she said, hurt flashing in her eyes. He knew she was mad at him, but it hadn’t been his fault. She might not want to marry him, but there was a certain understanding, respect, trust even between them and she now felt he had betrayed that. “I can’t help it if your almost boyfriend bolted the second he heard you were coming,” said Troy. That stung. She didn’t like the way he belittled her relationship with Bart, mostly because everything he said was true. Nevertheless, she couldn’t afford to be the one acting on emotion right now. He was angry. Chivalrous Troy wouldn’t be showing up tonight, not for her. “Tomorrow morning I am taking you to see my sister and the royal family of Sartis Est. You will act like the princess that you are, not some commoner who dances on bar countertops. You will be agreeable, make polite conversation and smile. Do I make myself clear?” She didn’t say anything. Her mind was

As he took her around the room, Troy started paying attention again because he loved how excited she got when one of them won. The first time she did it, he was thrown, returning her enthusiastic embrace a second too late, as she had already started pulling her arms away from around his neck. While the thrill of gambling was going to her head, her touching him was going to his. The more they won, the more she touched him. Aria made no attempt to initiate holding hands, kissing or hugging before, but now she was all over him like they hadn’t just had their first date yesterday. They were having such a good time that when they got up to their hotel room, Troy realized that he hadn’t thought this through after all. Yesterday she was the woman he was going to marry, end of story and he would have gone to bed with her in a heartbeat to seal the deal. But then he met her last night, really met her, met the her not at war, saw different things in her eyes, new things. She even

She turned back three times, checking to see if he was still watching her. Troy waved at her the first time. Not trusting himself not to do it again when she inevitably looked back a second time, he stuck his hands into his pockets. She did look again, like he knew she would. This earned her a naughty wink for her bravery. When she turned back for the last time, she was holding onto the wall, biting back a grin, about to enter the castle. He blew her a kiss, sending her into a fit of giggles. She didn’t even know why she was laughing. He laughed too, at how ridiculous they were being, two future monarchs putting off a trip to make eyes at each other. “Get a grip Aria,” she scolded herself, as she all but ran down the corridor, suddenly in a hurry to be done with her packing. Aaron advanced towards Troy, but Bart stonewalled him. “Gentlemen, if you’ll excuse me,” said Troy, taking off too.“You’re just going to let her go?!”“I don’t li

2019, December 8th Bart and Aria ran into each other during the morning sparring session. He gave her a warm smile and she returned it. She looked better than she had in the corridor yesterday. He was happy to see her in such good spirits. “Are we doing this or what?” “You and I both know I don’t have a chance against you on my own,” she grinned. “Excuses,” he said, charging at her, wrapping his arms around her waist and picking her up the way Ethan used to. “This doesn’t exactly seem like a fight to the death,” she laughed. “It’s been a minute. I wanted to check in on you,” he said, looking up at her, his eyes softening. “Do it with your eyes then and stop being so hands on,” Aaron snapped, walking up to them. “You two look like you’re screwing.” Anger was coming off of Aaron in waves. He’d been going crazy all night wondering what happened last night between Troy and Aria after they left the fountain, dripping wet and laughing like a bunch of fools. She’d never l

They’d never danced together before, but that night CC and Troy danced for hours, all but forgetting what they were supposed to be doing here until the announcement came. They shared a look. She was suddenly uncertain and in that moment, Caroline Condor was just a girl. Troy looked at the ring that had been brought to him, the one he meant to give her tonight. He went down onto one knee and pulled a box out of his coat pocket. She gasped when he opened the box. The ring he held, the one he was about to propose with, was his grandmother’s. Caroline wanted to bolt. She couldn’t do this. She couldn’t say yes, certainly not to that ring. “I met you over four months ago and it was the most terrifying night of my life. Not because your brother punched me, although that wasn’t very fun.” The crowd laughed. CC smiled too, her heart in her throat. “But because I laid eyes on you, heard you speak, held you in my arms and knew alm

Here we go,” Aaron sighed, watching the dance and shaking his head. He felt her arm tighten around his as she linked them. She was pulling him onto the dance floor before he knew what was happening. “Far be it for me to refuse a woman, but what’s happening right now?” he asked, as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. “I’m not exactly supposed to be here,” she whispered. Aaron chuckled. “Oh, it’s my mystery woman. I was wondering when you’d show up. What’s with the funny hat?” he asked, laying one hand on her lower back and the other on her head as he swayed to the music with her. “You didn’t know who it was, but you just let yourself be pulled along? Just let some random woman—” She stopped short. Aaron smirked, swallowing his laughter. He was super tempted to pull her head back and kiss her again. He’d known the moment she laid her arm in his that it was her. No other woman would demand, take quite like her. “Are you going to show me your ridiculously cute je

Troy pulled her onto the dance floor. She went without protest, something CC had never done before. They hadn’t danced together since the ball he met her at a few months ago. “Alright Caroline, I’ll play. Rule number two. What are you up to?” he said into her ear. Troy didn’t keep his distance like he had the night they met. He held her as close to his body as he could. CC had danced with countless men, but never like this. Never had any of them taken such deliberate steps to hold her like a man holds his woman. “I don’t know what you mean,” she said, pulling away subtly. Not subtle enough though. Troy pulled her even closer to him somehow. She gulped. She didn’t realize there could be a closer. “You woke up this morning and just decided you were ready to spend the rest of your life with the man who’s been making you stay with him for the last four months by threatening to go to war with your country?” He spun her out and twirled her back to him. Their eyes met. Did

2017, October 8th“This is a stupid idea,” said Aaron, watching CC as she emerged from the partition in yet another ball gown. “This kind of thing is not for a guy like Troy. He will burn you.”“I’ll take my chances. We’ve tried everything else and we’re out of time,” CC answered, holding out her hand for him to hand her a tiara. “I still think-”“You still want to start a three way war,” said CC, cutting him off. Aaron came up behind her and put a tiara on her head, sighing. “How do I look?” “CC, think about what you’re doing. No matter what you do, in five days prince perfect is going to want to put a ring on it. That’s for keeps.” “I know. I’m counting on it.”Aaron sighed disapprovingly. “You know you look amazing,” he said, frowning as he rubbed her arms up and down. “Remember what I said. If he suspects even for a second that you’re acting out of character, that you’re bluffing, the game’s over. You’re done. You lose. So don’t hesitate and don’t start things you can’t fini
The Girl Who Loved Two Princes: The Her Before You Rule number five pt 5
"Do these rules apply to you as much as me?” she asked, walking backwards slowly, taking her shoes off. He thought about how to answer her as he followed her, kicking off his shoes too. What kind of marriage did he want with her? Maybe Troy didn’t need rules for a woman like Aria. Maybe it didn’t have to be all business. Maybe it wasn’t so bad to want to have your cake and eat it too. Was it time he lowered some walls for the woman who didn't have any up for him? “Of course,” he answered at last.Troy had never answered this question in the affirmative before. She wasn't just getting to him. She was changing him and the worst part was he liked it, wanted it. He took out his phone and played the song Let's Go Home Together by Ella Henderson and Tom Grennan. Setting the phone down, he went to her and picked her up, setting her down into the fountain she’d been heading for before getting in with her. She grinned, splashing water in his direction, mischief and anticipation in her eyes as
The Girl Who Loved Two Princes: The Her Before You Rule number five pt 4
“Wait, what?” she asked, distracted by the warmth of his breath on her skin.But Troy was already pulling her into the kitchen like some delinquent.“Your Majesty, Your Highness!” the chef exclaimed, surprised by this ambush, bowing belatedly.“His Majesty wants you to retire for the night,” said Troy, looking dead serious with his hands behind his back. “The family has decided not to have dessert after all.”She gave him a look, sucking in her lips. He was tempted to return the smile in her eyes with one of his own, but first they had to complete the mission. There was mischief in his eyes as he subtly tilted his head towards the chef, waiting for her to back him up. Aria turned to the hesitant chef and swallowed her laughter. “That’s right. Dinner was absolutely lovely though.”The chef shrugged, bowed and went to turn the lights off. “That’s okay, we’ll just get that for you. Off you go,” said Troy, shooing the chef out of the kitchen. Aria covered her mouth until she couldn’t ho
