All Chapters of Bought by the Billionaire Prince: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The next morning, Greyson woke with his new bride in his arms. Ari she was perfect: beautiful, funny... Xavier adored her, and he could see through anyone. And there were no long engagements. As he watched her sleep, he was glad that things had worked out as they had. Love was overrated, but might come with time. But as he watched her sleep, he realized that he was already attracted to her. When she had walked down the aisle headed toward him at the church, taking her last steps before becoming his wife, she had taken his breath away. At that moment, he had never seen a woman as beautiful as her in his life. She had a grace about her that he hadn't expected. And when she met Xavier, she was kind.And last night, she had given herself to him completely.During the night, he had truly made love to her as he had no other woman before. He had tried to be as gentle with her as he possibly could, but she had responded as he hadn't expected, deepening their kisses and their lovemaking.He h

Grayson opened the door for Ari, headed for the castle, when flashbulbs went off in their faces."Is it true that you're married?" one woman asked."Where're you from?" a man asked Ari. "How did you meet?" another man asked Grayson.Grayson grabbed Ari's arm, pulled her back inside, and closed the door. "Where are my bodyguards?" He whipped out his phone and quickly dialed Piers Wingfield's number."Yeah?" Piers answered on the first ring. "I can't get out my door! The paparazzi are swarming!" Grayson spat into the phone. "Where are my guards?"It sounded as if Piers started walking and then running. "Are you at the hotel? Is Her Royal Highness with you, too?""Yes, she is." Grayson looked over at her and she folded her arms across her chest. Then he turned his attention back to Piers. "Where are my bodyguards?"Grayson heard a car door slam shut at Piers' end of the phone. "That's what I'm going to find out. I'm on my way."Grayson clicked off and shoved his cell phone into the insi

Ari pulled her coat around her to shield herself from the cold. But the cold was not only from the weather.Grayson reached over and held her hand. "I don't want there to be anything bad between us. Not now."She nodded, letting him take her hand. She was amazed at the level of attraction she felt for him. When she had agreed to marry him, Ari hadn't expected that. She had no idea what she expected, but this wasn't it. It was as if she already knew him, as if they had known each other in another life. But she pushed the thought aside. She knew that married life, and the adjustments that came along with it, would be hard. But she had no idea it would have this many good points. Ari snuggled close to him. "I just wish everyone would leave us alone and let us be a normal married couple."Grayson nodded, wrapping his arm around her. "Welcome to the monarchy. Nothing's ever normal." Then he lips curled into a smile. "What is normal, anyway?"Ari smirked. "I surely wouldn't know."A few mom

Ari and Grayson only had a few hours of sleep when Piers knocked on the door of the townhouse the next morning, but they were packed and ready to go. After their things were brought to them from the hotel the night before, they had spent most of the night packing."Ready?" Piers asked, peeking his head through the door.Grayson opened the door wide, letting him in. "Our bags are in here."Piers nodded and had some of his team bring out the bags. Then he turned to Grayson, "The path is clear to the limo so we should have no problem getting you out safely.""Good." Grayson turned to Ari and raised an eyebrow. "Ready?"Ari yawned, tired for not having had much sleep. "Let's do this."Grayson rubbed her back, smiling. "You can sleep in the car—""Or on the plane," Ari finished.Grayson nodded and then gently kissed her forehead. "We're ready."Within minutes, they were in the limo, headed for the airport, and minutes after that, they were on a private jet."Anything to drink?" a flight att

"Do something! Where's Piers?" Grayson yelled at his new bodyguard, Sam. He looked over at the row of paparazzi now huddled close to the fence row. "And get those people out of here!""That's enough! Clear out! The prince and his wife do not want to be disturbed!" Sam skied over the fence and held his hand up in front of a camera. "Prince Grayson will bring anyone who is still here up on charges if you don't clear out now!"Grayson rolled his eyes. If they didn't know who he was to begin with, they did now. But he was sure that it didn't matter anyway. The paparazzi already knew, or they wouldn't have been here."Ari?" Grayson rubbed her arms and gently patted her face, trying to revive her. "Grayson?" she asked, waking up, tears filling her eyes.He lifted her from the snow and carried her to the waiting car. Then he turned to Sam. "Where is Piers? Get him here... now!""Yes, sir!" Sam replied, and then walked off to the side, talking into his wrist communicator.He looked back at Ar
