All Chapters of The Girl Who Loved Two Princes: The Her Before You: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

It was already evening by the time Aaron got home. He was filling CC in on what he’d seen when Troy interrupted. “A word, princess.” He wasn’t asking. Troy was, had been frustrated for the last month and now she knew why. Tonight that frustration was all over his face. “I’m not leaving,” said Aaron, taking in the rage on the usually perfectly composed Troy’s face. “It’s okay Ronnie. Give us a few minutes,” said CC. Aaron gave her a look, sighed and said, “I’ll be right outside.” Troy took a seat and indicated for her to do the same. She sat down slowly. CC knew that when he was in this mood it was best to exercise caution. Maybe being in here alone wasn’t the best idea after all. He was more than angry, he was upset and she found she was upset for him. She didn’t know how to not make her heart react to the emotion in his voice. “What do you know?”“Less than you do, I’m sure,” she answered. “Caroline,” he said in a warning voice. “There are two nations at stake here. Don’t te

This was enough for now. He didn’t want to push her too hard too fast. Troy wanted her, wanted to get back home quickly, but she was grieving and trying to rush it would only alienate her. She would learn rules three and four soon enough anyway, one way or another. He got back up, winked at an angry Aaron, who no doubt wanted to punch him again and left. When Troy was gone, Aria moved quickly. She got out of his bed faster than Aaron had ever gotten out of one, which was saying something, and was out the door before he knew what to say. He let his body fall back on the bed, put a pillow over his head and screamed into it. As Aria dashed from Aaron’s room, she ran into CC. CC gave her a once over, saw which direction she was coming from and looked away uncomfortably. There really was no one who could get to a woman like Aaron. To add insult to injury, Bart came up to them then and kissed CC on the cheek, taking her hand in his. There wasn’t a drop of animosity between them. Seriously

“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

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

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
