After the confrontation with Mark, I expected to be approached by Nicholas, so I wasn’t shocked when he called me away from the dining room at lunchtime to speak with me privately. He started walking away from the dining room and I fell in step beside him. Eventually, in an empty hallway, he tur

Just then, I noticed some guards patrolling the hallway they were in. They glanced at me and at Nicholas. “That is a command as your prince,” Nicholas said again, when they were closer in earshot. He had me backed into a corner now. I couldn’t disobey a direct royal order, especially in fron

It wasn’t that I didn’t believe Mark when he had told me that Julian had left the palace and hadn’t been seen since the morning, but I still had to snoop around some to be sure. I needed to talk to him so badly, I couldn’t just sit around and wait for him to return. I asked some of the servants

I didn’t want to think about Nicholas anymore, so I made my way over to Joyce instead. I knew his two brothers well, but not him, and that seemed a shame. When I drew near, Susie glanced up to smile at me. “Oh, Piper. Have you met Prince Joyce? Should I introduce you?” How could I say that i

But his eyes were crystal focused now. Whatever fire that had sparked there had been well contained. He was pulling himself back under control, and I felt cold, mourning the loss. He didn’t apologize, thank God, but he didn’t say anything else either. No explanations. No words of comfort or crue

Nicholas I couldn’t stop thinking about kissing Piper. Even after I had escaped to my rooms, the moment I closed the door separating us, I pressed my forehead against the cool wood and felt myself burn. Her body had been on fire against mine, the curve of her ass plush in my hands. Her h

But for now, for this fantasy, I wanted to fuck her so hard all she could do was hold on and enjoy the ride. I had the strength to keep her pinned for a good long while, and I had the stamina to match. I’d have her coming on my dick until she couldn’t even remember her own name. She’d know mine
