“You can have as many dates as you want,” he said, pulling the straps of her dress down and kissing her shoulders, fondling her breasts through the dress. “As long as I can keep touching you, keep seeing you.”Adele sat up. She’d been lost to his touch a moment ago, but now she was looking at him with fear in her eyes. Once she’d been prepared for, once she was okay with. Maybe that made her a cliche, but he was the hottest, most alluring man she’d ever laid eyes on and she wanted him. But now he was saying things like as many dates as you want and it was going straight to her heart.“Shit!” she said, jumping to her feet. “Date is over.”“Wait, what?”“Remember that ball I told you about? I have to go.”She pulled her straps back in place and started running through the castle and back down the hill. Aria hadn’t realized how late it had gotten. A second absence from an official royal engagement would be noticed, especially this time. Etha

2017, June 4th(Caines, Terres Somnia)Another insufferable ball.The excuse for it?It was his birthday.Lord Bartholomew Arden would rather be sitting in his room preparing for midterms. Duke Arden took Bart around the room to meet with the nobles in attendance. Their dealings with the Arden House were drilled into Bart's head. As though Bart weren't already aware of them all. He would have given many things to not have to endure this night.Grievances aside, there was one thing Bart looked forward to about tonight. He might get to see Caroline. Things between their families were still very unstable. Bart hadn't seen CC since the last time she came home from boarding school.Unknown to King Henry, electing to spend the year abroad was step one in shunning his wishes for her. She intended to attend fashion school next year.Bart didn't know if his birthday was a good enough reason to bring her home right before midterms.Relief washed over Bart as his mother approached with a friend i

Caroline (CC) Condor was halfway through clearing the lower level of the Arden ballroom. As she steadily made her way to the stairs, he came out of nowhere. He was in front of her before she knew it. She tried to sidestep him, the way she had every man who tried to ask her to dance up until now. However, this one was not to be turned away. This man was a prince.He bowed gracefully for her and she gave a quick curtsy, before trying to escape again.“Prince—” he began.“I know who you are,” she said hastily, stopping in her tracks.The prince smiled.“A woman after my own heart. No introductions needed then, Princess Caroline,” he said, bowing once more. He held out a hand to her. “However, I wouldn’t say no to a dance.”Five minutes passed, then ten and Bart finally admitted to himself that he was waiting for her to show up. Why hadn’t she reached him yet? His curiosity getting the better of him, he turned back around and wished he hadn't. It was a waking nightmare. The kind where she

CC and Bart were trading outright glares now. It seemed she didn’t appreciate his dancing with another woman either. Bart didn’t like how CC was looking at him. Or did he? Maybe he liked it a lot. He wasn’t sure. She was getting into his head and he was having trouble focusing on the woman in his arms.Aria Maine had been slighted once too many times tonight. It was one thing for The Casanova of Casanova to ditch her for her cousin on the dance floor. Being danced with by a man who was gawking at another woman was something else altogether. She was a damn knock out and she bloody well knew it. Feeling somehow like she knew this man, what with Ethan talking about him nonstop, she felt she could do it. So she did. She pulled Bart’s distracted head down to her and kissed his cheek.Even Bartholomew couldn’t not look. Her amber eyes demanded attention as he towered over her. When next he laid eyes on CC, he had to do a double take, they both did.“Wow, you guys are liberal about what happe

December 3rd, 2019(Caines, Terres Somnia)CC's birthday was coming up. She had only recently started getting her dress ready for her birthday and planning for the next fashion show. Bart was glad to see it. The queen's absence finally seemed to be weighing on her less. CC even applied for fashion school next year. Bart liked watching his fiancee. Shortly after they got engaged, he got himself a very comfortable bean bag chair that he placed in her office. When he dropped by and she complained that she didn't need a babysitter, he swore that he just needed somewhere to study. And he did study. He got through tons of material during his time at the fashion house. Did it take him twice as long as usual because he spent half of the time watching her work? Yes, but she didn't need to know that. It might not seem sensible that it pleased him so much just to watch her, but then there was a time when he would have given anything just to lay eyes on her. A time when they were forbidden. Even

Bart gulped as he watched her shirt hit the floor. What was he supposed to do with her shirtless and on top of him, threatening to take off more as she kissed her way down his body? The last two nights he'd managed to get her to fizzle out while spooning her and she'd fallen asleep in his arms. He’d hoped he had deterred her. Instead having caught on, CC only became emboldened. She already had them both half naked. His fingers dancing to the tune of her melody up her back, heading for her bra. Stop. Tell her they needed to talk. He wanted to, he really did, but all his willpower went into not flipping them over and tearing the rest of her clothes off. "I love you," she said, innocent eyes staring down into his. The hot air from her lips mixed with his as he felt the bra he didn't know he had unclasped gave way under his fingers. Fuck. He was going to stop now, wasn't he? Her lips pulled up into a smile as she pulled the zipper of her shorts down. He found himself helping her

"Get out," she’d said, taking one look at his greek god—like body and apparently deciding she was going to pass. She sat down at her dresser and took in her new hairdo. And as she did, so did he. His mouth went dry, jaw dropped to the floor. She was wearing a knee length, violet dress. On her feet she wore classical black high heels. Aaron had always had a thing for black heels. Everything came together with a charming diamond necklace to subtly draw attention to her rack, which ladies and gentlemen, was also fantastic. And then of course there was the new haircut. Gone was the girl next door. There was no ponytail today and probably wouldn't be for a while. The way the chin length haircut framed her face made it look like red hair was invented for her. Wait, did she just tell him to get out? Aaron promptly slipped out of the bed and went to stand behind her, making sure she got a good look in the mirror. She looked, of course she did, she ran her eyes all the way down his body, sur

2017, June 5thThe drive from the airport to the castle took Bart's breath away. True to its name, Sartis Est was exceptionally beautiful. He took in the hills, mountains, pebble roads, streams, old ruins and knew that coming had been the right choice. "Father, allow me to introduce Lord Bartholomew Arden," said Ethan as they entered the drawing room.The king and queen were just sitting down to tea. "I never met a straighter arrow. I'm sure by the end of his stay you'll wish he was your son instead of me," said Ethan, chipper as ever. Aria gave Bart a concerned look as she went to sit next to her mother, holding onto her shoulders as both women watched the situation unfold with bated breath. Undeterred, Bart stuck his hand out to the king and said, "Thank you for having me, Your Majesty."The king looked at Bart's hand, sizing him up from every angle as he walked circles around Bart, staring him down. "Are you truly the son of a nobleman? You should know better than to offer a ki

“Not sure if that’s going to do you any good, but hey, chivalry and all that,” he said, taking the place in. “You don’t happen to have dry clothes in your mystery bag, do you?” But she had already opened the bag and it was lying on the floor empty. Aaron picked it up and threw it over his shoulder. He’d lost track of her while taking in the castle, wondering what it looked like when it was first built. “This is really what you wanted to see today?” he asked, as he wandered around looking for her. “Yes,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to come here and see this place. I think it’s absolutely breathtaking.” A melody filled the castle’s empty walls, heartbreakingly loving and soothing. As he seeked it out, the melody turned passionate, fierce, unforgiving like a dance between a man and a woman desperately in love, drowning in it. Aaron picked up the pace, really looking for her now. “I’m sure it was something in its day, but now it’s-” He stopped short, finally laying eyes on h

2017, October 9th Aaron was lying in the middle of a field of flowers on a hill that offered a view of ruins of a castle. They had been headed that way, were still he thought, only he didn't want to ruin the moment. He liked having her so close, liked watching his fingers go up and down her body without her protesting. She'd even let him drag his fingers through her silky, long flames like he'd always wanted to. This was not what he should be doing, not at all, but when Adele showed up this morning declaring that there was peace at the castle after all and asked him out on a date, he was so flabbergasted that he ended up just watching her, letting her drag him along wherever she wanted. "It turns out Duke Dormer was meeting with Diane to relay messages from her brother Dean to her. The royal palace is hosting a ball to welcome the so called Prince of Wars, Prince Dean, tonight. Also, now that that's settled, want to go out with me?" she'd said all in one breath. Aaron grinned, ze

This little speech gave Troy pause. He didn’t know if Dean would tell him, but he had to ask. Maybe something would slip out, maybe he could make his older brother show his hand a little. Troy went up to Dean, watching him closely as he stuck his nose in Dean’s face. “Isn’t it about time we inspired something else? What would you rather we do Dean? Who would you like to hand Diane’s crown to?” “Diane is lovely, truly the apex of my heart, but she’s as naive as her fiance. Monarchs need to be made of a certain something. Like you, like me.” Troy grabbed his brother by the throat, squeezing mercilessly. “Let me be clear Dean. If Diane or Ethan or anyone from this household come to any harm because of you, if you reach for the crown, if you even think about it, I will make you my enemy for life. I won’t stop until you’re dead.” The brothers were staring each other down. Their eyes were the mirror of each other’s, dark death in them, as Dean ripped his brother’s hand from his throa

2017, October 9th “Rule number three, CC. This is especially important tonight. The person you’re about to meet is no joke. He’s barely even human. He will exploit any little weakness you show,” Troy warned. “Sounds familiar,” CC said sarcastically. She was still angry about the way she’d let him play with her, the way he’d handled the proposal, something she may never get again if she did end up married to him in three days. Glass houses though. She was going to use the night as a means to a literal end herself, but he ended up one upping her. What’s worse, when it was happening she could almost see it, being married to him. Troy was smart, passionate, took control of a room and handled things. Clearly she had a type because all the things she liked about him reminded her of Bart. If there was no Bart, she was sure she would have fallen for him that very first night, because unlike Bart, Troy came for her, and continued to come for her. Even now when they were fighting, he was w

“Believe this if you believe nothing else I say. I came for you. And maybe I got sidetracked along the way, maybe we both did, but all that was before last night. I hadn't met the incredible woman from last night yet. Hadn’t decided that I don't care about the other guys as long as you say I'm the one you want yet. Hadn't kissed you yet. Hadn't decided that this woman really needs my help learning poker yet.” She finally laughed again. “I’ll teach you whatever you want me to, but it doesn’t have to be all at once. Isn’t it about time we gave our time to people who actually want it? To each other? I’m here Aria. I want you and I’m not going anywhere unless you ask me to.” Her lips, her tongue, the warmth of her mouth were all so uninhibited as she slammed them against his and flew into his arms that he was second guessing himself, afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold back after all. He wasn't wrong. There was another guy, but this time she didn't want there to be anymore. There

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
