Memories - Chapter 1

Chapter Summary: While remembering bittersweet memories of her time in Cordonia, Riley comes to the realization that there are still unanswered questions to pursue from the night of the Coronation Ball.

Music Inspiration: Far Side of the World, Holden Miller, The Way We Were, Lucy Thomas

A/N: My submission for @choicesflashfics, Week #41, Prompt #1, “You make me feel like I’m worth it.”

A/N2: In this alternate universe, after King Constantine orchestrates two individual scandals to humiliate and entrap Riley Brooks and Olivia Nevrakis in shame, Madeleine Amaranth secures her position as the Queen of Cordonia. Riley, as the King’s mistress and Olivia, in self-imposed exile. Tariq is never found.

“...I can’t do this anymore.” Riley answered softly.

Daniel’s heart broke in two as he looked at his dear friend. Her tear-stained cheeks and red-rimmed eyes told him everything that he needed to know.

“It’s okay, Riley,” Daniel said. “It’s not your fault. You were put in a difficult position.”

Her bottom lip trembling; those words spoken, was all it took for her to break down.

…. Remembering the day she danced with her prince at the Coronation Ball, and he said,

‘I hope you never have cause to regret coming here.’

‘Why would you say that?’

‘Well, so much has happened, and...’

As the song winds down, Prince Liam’s hands linger on her waist, his eyes searching hers.

‘I need to talk to you.’

‘Is something wrong?’

***

Wrapping his arm around her shoulders Daniel pulled her close to his chest, breaking the memory.

“I should have known that I was in way over my head. The signs were all there.” Riley spoke between sobs.

“This situation is so fucked up. Falling in love with a man from across the ocean, whose duty to his country dictates his future. Whose life is not his own. His world is so foreign to you. A world unavailable to....”

Riley took a deep breath and met his gaze.

“Stop. Just stop. ...Please.”

“Mommy?” “Dan Dan?” A little voice called out.

Daniel looked over at Riley’s son, walking with his pail towards the sandcastle that they had all made together.

“Hey, buddy, what do you have in your pail?”

“Fo howse,” he pointed to the sandcastle.

“One sec, Ri. I will be right back.” Daniel kissed Riley’s forehead quickly and walked towards the little boy.

Riley closed her eyes, continuing to remember the words Liam spoke to her the night they visited the Statue of Liberty.

‘...but I’ve always known that my role would require me to give up much of what I desire.’

‘You’re the prince. Can't you do what you want, at least some of the time?’

‘If only. My whole life I’ve prepared myself to do what’s best for Cordonia.’

Looking at her son. Looking at Liam’s son.

Riley had an epiphany.

***

The royal council meeting lasted well into the evening. It was almost 9:30 pm when the last council member left the boardroom at the palace. Liam stood up from his chair and started to walk down the long hallway to his study. His plans for the rest of the evening included shooting hoops with Drake and a stop at the beer garden later to wind down. Pouring himself a finger of Scotch he sat down at his desk and reclined his chair. Pulling out his phone, he checked for any missed messages or calls, but nothing of interest was received. The one and only person he wanted to desperately hear from still eluded him.

Three years ago.

The love of his life.

Walked away from him.

Three years of being alone.

Even though he constantly had people around him; Regina, Leo, his guards, nobles, his friends. But never her.

He would never blame her for walking away. The situation was. Is. So very unfair to her. So undeserved.

And if he was being honest with himself. Very unfair to him. His entire life, he was groomed to serve the Cordonian people and the monarchy. To fulfill ‘his duty’ to Cordonia, without question.

When Riley captured his heart that fateful night in New York, he felt the walls of duty surrounding him start to crumble.

When Riley followed him to the masquerade ball to join the social season, his world shifted in its axis. Thinking that he would never see Riley again, he was given the best surprise. Just to think that she travelled all the way from New York City to be with him.

‘I know we have something special. I want to see what it can be.’

And now, after all the years, his guilt still consumed him.

How he wished he could find out how she was. To make sure she's OK. Hopefully. She moved on with her life. Tears welled in his eyes. He missed Riley. Every day he thought about her and wondered where she was. He missed her voice. He missed her smile.

He remembered everything, and could forget, nothing.

Wanting to relax he stretched his legs and reclined his chair more. His eyes drifted shut and he was almost asleep when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come.” Liam called out in response.

Opening his eyes, he saw Madeleine scowling down at him.

Liam grinned at the thought. It had to be her. No one else would have been able to make such an impression on his guards, to let her in without his permission.

“You know, Madeleine, I think I have seen enough of you for this evening. Please go away and do whatever you do in the evening.”

Liam was well aware that Madeleine kept her own Cordonian arrangement with a dignitary from Morocco. He was in the capital this evening on business, planning to rendezvous with her tonight.

“You know Liam, I am not a child. I understand that you are in a position of authority, and I know that you cannot spend all your time with me.”

“I do need you to come to my chambers and spend the evening with me.” She stood waiting for his answer as Liam felt her gaze burning through him.

At least once a month, Madeleine tried to persuade Liam to sleep with her, but to no avail.

Tonight, was no exception.

“You have not answered my question. Are you coming to my chambers or not?”

“Madeleine, it is a generous offer, but there is no way in hell I want to spend my evening with you. I have plans. Not that it is any of your business. I am spending time with friends tonight.”

“Do you realize, Liam, we have been married for almost four years now and yet no heir. How long will this last? Our people are waiting for news!”

“Isn’t Eduardo waiting for you, Madeleine?” Liam scoffed.

“You will not even touch me. For as long as I see fit, at the very least he pays attention to me. How long will you wait for Riley to magically reappear? She left you Liam. She left you high and dry. She could not handle it. Stop embarrassing yourself, Liam. This country wants an heir. It is our duty to supply one.”

There was a short knock on the door and Drake popped his head through the doorway.

“Li, my apologies for interrupting.” Drake gave Liam a ‘knowing look’.

“Queen Madeleine.”

Liam stood up from his desk, glowering at Madeleine and turned towards his bar cart. Picking up a bottle of Macallen, “Drake, my man, come have a drink with me. This one is leaving.”

Madeleine ‘glared daggers’ at Liam as she watched him pour whiskey into two lowball glasses, Huffing, she turned around and walked out of his study, not acknowledging Drake. Drake raised an eyebrow, “was I interrupting something important?”

“Hell, no.” Liam shot back his drink and slammed the glass onto his desk.

“Let's play some ball.”

***

“I need to ask a favor of you, Daniel.” Riley called out.

“Anything, Ri, of course,” Daniel replied.

Standing up from the sand he reached down and scooped up Riley's son into his arms. Walking towards her, Riley smiled as she held out her arms.

“Li Li, come to mommy, sweetheart.”

That is all it took for the giggles to start. William squealed and successfully wrangled out of Daniel’s grasp to get to his mom.

Shaking his head, “this kid will kick my butt one day!”

“What's up, Riley?”

Taking a deep breath, “well, remember that certain table that you asked me to serve the night before I left for Cordonia?” Riley sheepishly looked at her friend.

“How could I forget?” Daniel raised his eyebrow in question.

“Yes, well....”

Riley looked down, not able to meet his eyes.

“Remember, there were four men. Liam, of course, was one. Tariq, as well, was there.”

“Oh yes and I remember there were two others with them.”

“Yes, that’s right, Drake and Maxwell. I need you to contact Maxwell.”

“OK, Riley. Sure, that sounds easy enough. I remember that I still owe you a favor for looking after that table that night for me.”

Riley smirked at the look of horror that suddenly fell on his face for saying that aloud.

“Anything Riley.... What is his address?”

“Actually, I need you to call him.”

“OK, call him. ...and what do you want me to say?”

“I need you to ask him to come here. to New York City.”

“Riley. Are you sure that's a good idea? Won't he tell Liam your whereabouts? Aren't you concerned?”

“Daniel, I am going to ask Maxwell, as my friend. To help me get some answers. But first I need to talk to Maxwell and explain everything to him in person. He needs to come here alone. And I need you to sell that reason to him to come alone, and not to bring anyone with him. Could you do that for me?"

Daniel paused. Looking at his dear friend. “Yes,” he said begrudgingly.

“I sure hope you know what you're doing.”

“So do I, Daniel. So, do I.”

“For you and this little one, I want nothing but happiness from now on. You deserve the world.”

“Thank you, Daniel...for everything.

“You make me feel like I’m worth it.”

***

...if we had the chance to do it all again tell me, would we, could we?

Last Minute Plans

Book: The Royal Romance (AU)

Pairings: Liam x MC (Ella)

Characters belong to Pixelberry: Ella Brooks belongs to me.

Please note that my stories are not to be stolen or reposted on any other site. Reblogs and notes are welcome and much appreciated.

Summary: An AU based on the show New Girl (my favorite can you tell??) Just a collection of one-shots and shenanigans that allude to the show. This will NOT be canon, that means this won’t be in Cordonia and Liam isn’t a King. If you have watched the show before, you know they are in Los Angeles, California. Catch up on The Loft here

A/N: Finally posting something for @choicesflashfics this week and it’s my favorite AU that I’ve written so far. Prompt will be in bold.

A/N 2: It’s been a very long time since I’ve written anything - mostly because work has been crazy and studying related to work has also taken up a lot of my time. My taglist is very old so feel free to ignore should you not want to read this mess lol

Thank you @deb-1106 for reading through this a bit, I love you!

Ratings/Warnings: M - mature content; adult language; sexual innuendos; some overall inappropriateness because it’s the Loft 🤷🏽‍♀️

Words: 1215

Liam paced back and forth as Drake, Max and Leo followed him, all of their heads going right to left and right to left, and back again.

Leo broke the silence. “Bro, what’s wrong with you?”

Liam stopped and gave his friends and brother a confused look. “When did you guys get here?”

“Are you serious right now?” Drake stood and walked towards his best friend. “Li, why are you pacing the floor?”

“Oh, I …” he looked at the floor and then back up at Drake. “I want to propose to Ella.”

Everyone gasped, while Leo and Max stood from the couch.

Maxwell clapped his hands in excitement. “You are?!”

“How? Where’s the ring? When is this happening?!” Leo yelled as he hopped up and down.

“Relax, relax,” Drake hollered over everyone’s voices as he turned to his best friend. “Do you need help with anything?”

“I got her a ring already,” Liam pulled a black velvet box out of his pocket and opened it. “I’m just not sure when or how to do it. Maybe tomorrow?”

Leo snatched the box out of his brother’s hand. “Whoaaaa, this thing is fat!”

“Real helpful, Leo,” Drake mumbled. “You know Ella is crazy about you. Any way you ask her she’s going to cry.”

Liam ran his hands through his thick blonde hair nervously. “You think?”

“Good tears!” Max interrupted.

Drake nodded. “Really good tears.”

“Remember when we didn’t even think this whole Liam and Ella thing was going to happen?” Leo elbowed Max’s side.

“Yeah, we had our doubts.”

“Wait, what?” Liam’s eyes narrowed.

“You guys just kept breaking up and getting back together!” Max shrugged and looked to Leo for backup.

“I mean, there was the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre-”

“No, no,” Max shook his head. “I think it was the Comic-con Dump-A-Thon.”

“You have names for our breakups?” Liam retorted in annoyance.

Leo nodded. “It would really all blur together if we didn’t.”

A year and a half earlier

“You are so annoying in those little sexy shorts you wear! Just shut up!”

Ella’s hands were on his hips yanking him close to her. “You shut up!”

They began to kiss again, tongues tangling and curling together for a few moments until Liam pulled away. “Shut up and take off your clothes,” he pointed at her. “I mean it, Ella, shut up and take off your clothes right now,” he demanded as he pulled his own shirt off, kicked off his shoes and unbuckled his belt.

She huffed and began to pull off her jacket in purposeful motions. “Why are you so ridiculous and chaotic? You can’t even tell me how you feel!”

Liam’s eyes darkened with desire. “I’ll tell you how I feel right now. I want you,” his mouth collided with hers as he swallowed her moans. “I’ve wanted you from the moment you walked into this loft. Now take off your clothes, Ella.”

Max strolled down the hall eating a banana and stopped short when he saw Liam and Ella getting lost in each other in the living room. Drake, who was walking right behind him, bumped into his back and dropped his phone onto the floor with a clang. “Beaumont!”

“Shhh!” Max flailed his arms and pushed his friend back, shushing him as he went.

“I want my bagel, Beaumont! It just popped up from the toaster and if I wait too long it gets too hard,” Drake whined.

“Drake! It’s 10 at night and you’re eating a bagel?” Max shook his head and pushed him into his bedroom. “Don’t answer that,” he huffed and stuck his ear against the door. “Did you see Liam and Ella?! They were finally getting it on!”

Drake smacked Maxwell in the back of the head. “You’re listening to them fucking? And why are they fucking in our living room?!”

Present day

“Okay, we did not have sex in the living room!”

Drake rolled his eyes. “Well we didn’t know that, Li!”

“You two just went back and forth, kissing and then yelling at each other,” Max casually walked into the kitchen to grab an apple. “Like the time we all went to that speed dating event.”

A year ago

“Why did you bring me here?” Drake hissed as his eyes darted around the room. “I knew this was shady as fuck!”

“Shut up, Walker, all we said was there would be good whiskey and you got in the car,” Leo snickered.

“I need new friends,” Drake mumbled as he wandered off in search of said whiskey.

Max surveyed the room. “Where are Ella and Hana?”

Leo shrugged. “No idea but that blonde over there has me written all over her.”

“That’s not how speed dating works, Leo!” Max grabbed his friend’s arm to keep him in place. “Where did Liam and Ella go?”

Leo turned his head and jutted his chin out. “They’re over there bickering by the entrance.”

Maxwell’s eyes widened. “Shit. If looks could kill-”

“They’d both be dead,” Leo finished as they both made their way to the doors to hear better.

Liam and Ella stood with their arms crossed as they faced each other.

“El, you liked kissing me. It’s totally fine to say that,” Liam whisper yelled. “I’m not on my knees asking you to marry me for God’s sake! It was a nice kiss.”

Ella’s eyes were like daggers as she stared at him. ”You were like a dog and my mouth was full of dog … milk. Don’t start with me William!”

The fact that she said his full name made him snap and forget about the people around them. “It was like a damn fairy tale okay?!” He bellowed. “It was the best kiss of your life! You have to take some responsibility, tarting around in those short shorts!”

Leo and Max snorted.

“Wait a second. Pause and rewind … what did you just say?”

Liam’s nostrils flares. “I am a man, Ella! Short shorts are my catnip.”

Present day

“You heard that?” Liam asked with wide eyes. “So much for privacy,” he grumbled. “It was a frustrating time for me okay?”

“It really doesn’t matter,” Leo waved his hand in the air. “You guys have been strong together and now you want to marry her,” he slapped his hands over his heart. “The real question is … who is going to be your best man?”

“That would be me,” Drake slid his eyes to Liam for confirmation.

“Well I-“

Leo cleared his throat loudly. “Excuse me, but I think it would be me, Walker Whiny Pants. I’m his brother.”

Drake’s face turned slightly red in aggravation at the nickname. “You’re out of your fucking mind, Rys Potato Chips!”

“What’s with the nicknames?” Max piped up from his seat on the couch.

Liam waved his arms in the air. “We have digressed so far down the rabbit hole. I just want to plan how I’m going to propose! Can any of you buffoons help me with that without arguing?”

“Alright, alright,” Leo yanked a large whiteboard out from behind the tv along with a stand and dry erase markers.

Drake’s eyes widened. “Have those been back there the whole time?”

“My room was full,” Leo explained with a large grin. “Let’s plan this shit!”

The Start of Forever

Premise: The Prince always knew his duty would require sacrifice, but no one told his heart that.

Book: The Royal Romance Pairing: Liam x MC (Phoebe Summers) Rating/Category: General. Angsty Fluff. Words: 810

A/N: Some of you know, Liam is my favorite Choices LI [I changed the default name to Aiden]. I don't typically write for TRR, but the @kingliamappreciationweek inspired me to write this fic. This is for Day 5. Enjoy! I'm using @choicesflashfics week 29, prompt 2 (in bold) and @creativepromptsforwriting prompt 362. Tagging for reblog to @creativepromptfills. Also submitting to @aprilchallenge prompt "wish"

Prince Aiden Rys had not grown up believing love was a possibility in his future. He might have wished for it -- in the darkest part of the night when his thoughts were too loud for him to sleep — and secretly hoped he could fall in love with the woman he would marry.

But believe? No. That required more than he had to give. And he had already given up so much. And yet. For a few hours last night, he fell in love and believed in the possibility of forever.

Aiden glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table, ubiquitous to hotel rooms everywhere, and locked his hands behind his head on the pillow. He should get up and get dressed. But he did none of those things. Wanting to prolong these fleeting moments of freedom for as long as he could.

Bastien would knock on his door in a couple of hours, reverential but unyielding, as he shepherded Aiden to the airport. The bodyguard’s presence would mark the end of this interlude and the beginning of the next: Cordonia’s social season and selecting his future queen.

But the Masquerade Ball was still hours away, and Aiden was not ready for reality to intrude just yet.

Earlier tonight, he arrived at the address Maxwell had texted him. Aiden hadn’t known what to expect from what appeared to be a dive bar. But knowing his exuberant friend, he’d had trepidations. At the same time, he hoped Drake would keep the younger Beaumont brother in check.

Okay, somewhat in check, Aiden laughed silently. Very few people in this world had the power to control Maxwell.

All his reservations went out the door the moment he saw her. The ugly uniform couldn’t detract from the beauty of her heart-shaped face and soulful blue eyes framed by long black hair, the front of which was arranged in a complicated braid.

One could argue there were more beautiful and sophisticated women at Court. But at that moment, Aiden was hard-pressed to name a single one of them, let alone remember what they looked like.

All he could think was, finally. There you are. Quickly followed by not her, not now.

He couldn’t fall in love just when he had accepted what he must do for the good of his kingdom. The people of Cordonia deserved a monarch who placed duty, the honor of sacrifice and love for one’s country ahead of everything else.

Aiden hoped he would one day be worthy of Cordonia’s storied legacy.

But tonight, just for a few hours more, he wasn’t a king or a prince. He was just Aiden. A man that craved freedom even as he embraced his responsibilities.

During dinner, he’d tried to hide his feelings, but his eyes followed Phoebe every chance they got. He hoped he’d been surreptitious in his admiration, but he’d never been in love.

Drake had given him a look that told Aiden he wasn’t being his usual stoic self. After that, he’d turned his attention to the deluxe burgers, listening absently to Maxwell’s tall tales and ignoring Tariq’s snide remarks about the food and the establishment.

Later, Aiden walked up to Phoebe, apologized for his friends’ boorish behaviors and racked his brain for an excuse to stay in her orbit a while longer.

Luckily he remembered Maxwell’s earlier comment about wanting to try a New York City nightclub, and things progressed from there. The flashing lights held no appeal for him, but sharing a drink with Phoebe and telling her his secret had felt freeing.

The whole night had been a lesson in spontaneity, from Phoebe arranging a private boat tour of the Statue of Liberty to that unexpected kiss just as the cloud cover broke and the stars sparkled above them like so much fairy dust.

They only realized they were holding hands the entire time, the moment they had to let go as the boat docked at the pier. They disembarked, turning to face each other, the Manhattan skyline rising behind them, both uncertain about what came next. But knowing instinctively this was it. There was no next.

That’s all they were now. A memory. A faded picture. A failed potential. Two people, right for each other, who’d met at the wrong time.

If only, thought Aiden, shoving the covers aside, swinging his legs off the bed and forcing himself to let go.

He might be a prince, but he’d always known his life was not a fairy tale.

When the knock came on his door, as he’d known it would, he glanced at the man in the mirror one last time. One who’d been free to kiss the woman he loved on a starry night under the watchful eye of the ultimate symbol of freedom.

And he said goodbye to what could never be.

Six Sentence Sunday 06.11.23 / Mood Music Monday

It is what it is, and sometimes you just have to walk away and hope for the best. I’ve been so busy and it’s been very difficult to write, even though I have a nice little spot for it now that I created. I have more items coming in on Tuesday to make it the perfect writing space / office space. I’m really trying to upper level adult here, save some money, pay down some things, and next year, take that Greece Trip I that I couldn’t in 2020 when it got cancelled due to Covid, The one I imagined in the epic birthday Fic Greek Meat.

Tags have been beyond crazy so if you missed anything I’ve written in the past few weeks here it is:

The Moments In Between (Riley x Drake)

The Rotten Apple 🍎: The Last Part

Original Post: 6/11/23 at 8:47PM EST.

Chapter 5: Moonlight Rendevous The Book: TRR (no royals) The Series: The Blue Honey Cafe The pairings: TRR MC is single Status: Still in the writing process / almost complete!

Mason was chivalrous, a complete southern gentleman. He had not only opened the door on her own vehicle, he had waited for her to get in and gently close the door behind her. When they made it to Wheelz, Mason jumped out of the vehicle like a rocket, as soon as it was parked, opening the door for her once more.

“Will you at least let me pay for the skate rental?”

“No, it’s the least I can do for your being kind enough to take me home tonight.”

“I’m not heartless, I wouldn’t leave you stranded like that.”

“It’s the south, I was far from stranded. But I’m glad you decided to indulge your blooming southern charm to help me out. Come on, let’s see what you’ve got out there on the rink.”

It quickly turned into healthy competition and showboating between the two as they skated around the rink.

“Not bad New York. Not bad at all.” Mason laid on a thickly horrible new york accent.

“Likewise North Cakalacky.” Riley said with an even worse southern accent.

The last skate turned out to be a couple’s skate. The music was slow, and had a romantic feel. She found herself leaning closer into Mason, who had a boyish grin on his face, and he in turn pulled her closer to him too, his hand gripping hers tighter.

Driving back neither said a word, lost in their own thoughts. When they pulled to a stop at Mason’s apartment, Riley was the first to speak.

“I really enjoyed spending this time with you Mason. I feel like we got a chance to get to know each other a little bit better, and we’re both a little competitive apparently.”

Mason laughed. “Right?!?!?! Nothing like some good healthy competition to get the blood pumping. But seriously Riley, I had a great time with you too.”

He paused for a moment.

“You know Riley, tonight doesn’t have to end right now if you don’t want it to.”

Riley’s eyes met Mason’s. “Are you asking me up to your place?”

“I am, It’s your choice. I promise to be the perfect gentleman.”

“What if I don’t want you to be, Mason?”

Mood Music Monday Submission The Final Chaper: The Wedding Series: The Rotten Apple🍎 The Book: TRH and beyond Pairings: Eleanor x Nico (Eleanor x M!OC) Song Inspiraton (2 of 2) Favorite Song by Toosii

“Eleanor and Nicolas! Stop with the kissy face already! Acting like there isn’t a wedding today! You come with me! And you! Put on a damn shirt! She’s already pregnant!”

Elle burst out laughing.

“Mama! Seriously!!”

“Yes I’m serious, you put on some damn clothes!”

Mama K was brutally honest and very hilarious. Once back in the room with Mama K, she looked at Elle in silence for a moment. “I presume you two are alright.”

“Better than ever.”

“Then let's get you dressed.”

“Thank you Mama. You have no idea how much this means to me.”

“Yes I do Eleanor, because you have told me a thousand times already. You are loved immeasurably today, and always by me. You are my daughter, and you make my son incredibly happy. And after today, all of us will finally be family by law, but we’ve always been family in the eyes of God.”

There was a soft knock to the door.

“It better not be Nico trying to sneak over here.” Mama K opened the door and smiled quickly ushering her into the room.

“You have a guest Elle.”

“I hope I'm not too late.”

“LIBBY!”

“Great you’re not dressed yet, I thought maybe I could help too? And I have a gift for you. Something old and borrowed. Mama K said she already handled the something blue.”

“Libby… I can't wear that. It’s Mother’s.”

“She always said she wanted her daughters to wear this on their weddings. You’re getting married.”

Elle shook her head. “She wouldn’t want me…. She didn’t want me….”

“Wear it Elle. It’s a piece of your mother, even though she couldn’t be here with you. I know this is not how you wanted things to be, but you are surrounded by the people who love you, just like Nico said. We love you Elle.”

Today, with the help of her sister, and “Mother,” she was putting on a dress, unlike any other dress.

A dress in a style she never thought she would ever want to wear again, a dress she thought was incredibly beautiful, that would in addition to the vows, give her a new life.She was leaving this room Eleanor Rys, but by the end of the day she would be Eleanor Karahalios, Wife of Nicolas, mother of Eliana, and the little one growing in her belly at that moment. It’s finally time for the best part.

“I feel beautiful.”

“You look beautiful.”

“It’s really happening, I’m getting married today.”

His

gif not mine

They didn't like to be touched by just anyone. But that didn't mean they didn't also crave it sometimes. - Ethan Ramsey x MC

Over the years you had seen the way that Ethan had froze whenever patients had touched him after celebrating a successful diagnosis, or when he consoled them about a medical diagnosis that was beyond even the diagnostic teams capability, how even with his closest friends he seemed to close himself from physical contact. Everyone that is apart from you. His Y/N, He cared for you in a way that he didn’t even seem to understand sometimes and yet he loved and cared for you in a way nobody had ever done so before and you could see it in the way he stood just that little bit too close whenever you discussed your findings about a patient, the way he smiled just a little wider whenever you walked into his line of vision and how when it was just the two of you, how he seemed to worship every single inch of you, mind, body and soul. So when he got down on one knee and proposed to you the answer was a give in, it was so easy and simple, a definite yes to a future spent with your forever and giving comfort to a man who shied away from everyone else's comfort but your own.

8 Ball, Corner Pocket

Drake x MC

What happens when the pair find themselves out together?

Word Count: 3313

Warnings: NSFW 18+, nudity, masterbation, oral sex, sex, teasing, language, smut.

It was their second night in Shanghai as part of Liam and Madeline’s engagement tour. Becky was enjoying getting to learn more about Hana’s culture and she even managed to impress her father. But something was missing, she was growing tired of following the rules and regulations of the court and feeling like a farm animal being herded from one royal function to the next with all the other mindless sheep that call themselves royals. Not that she didn’t want to be there, she wanted to clear her name of the treacherous accusations against her, plus she needed to be there for Liam, they were meant to be together and clearing her name would let them do so. Although, Becky sometimes just missed her old life. Going out to a bar, having a few drinks with friends, seeing what kind of trouble they could get into, but sadly that wasn’t her life anymore. Now it was all about dressing up and getting noticed. That’s why when Becky ran into Drake on her way back from her romantic boat ride across the koi pond, she jumped at his offer to have some drinks and play some pool. Becky was feeling reckless and she just needed to get out and let loose.

“Hey Roberts” Drake grabbed onto her by her shoulders before Becky nearly collided with him.

“Oh, hey Drake. Where are you off to so late?”

“I came across this little hole in the wall bar, where I saw a pool table. Care to join me? The whisky is strong and there is zero chance of being recognized”.

“Sounds exactly like what I need right now”.

“Well let’s go. I want to get a few games in before they close”.

Becky followed Drake along the crowded streets until they came upon this bar, that if you weren’t looking for it, you’d surely walk right by it without even noticing. They entered the establishment and Drake led Becky up to the bar.

“How did you find this place?” Becky asked giving him a pointed look.

“Oh, you know. There’s plenty of time to walk around when you’re not expected to show up at every courtly function”Drake chuckled as he waved over the bartender.

“Leave it to Drake Walker to sniff out the whisky” Becky quipped as she gave him a playful nudge.

“Two glasses of the 12-year Macallan on the rocks please”.

The bartender nodded and left to fetch their drinks as they both looked around taking in their surroundings. After receiving their drinks Drake whispered something to the bartender as Becky sniffed the brown liquid in her glass.

“What was that about?” she asked with an arched eyebrow.

“The pool table is through there” Drake extended out his arm to point towards a door in the back. “I just wanted to make sure that we wouldn’t be disturbed” he said nonchalantly as he took a sip from his glass, not wanting it to seem as he wanted to be alone with her.

“Let’s do this” Becky said as she jumped off her barstool and tugged at his collared shirt.

They entered the back room together and Drake shut and latched the door behind them, securing their privacy. The small room was dimly lit, with neon bar signs hanging along the walls adding an extra burst of light.

“So, what are the rules Mr. Walker?” she teased, taking a sip of the liquor, walking to the table.

Drake strutted over to the wall beside the table and retrieved two pool sticks, handing one to her. “I’ll let the lady break first, then the shot only counts when you land the ball in a corner pocket”.

Becky bit her lower lip as she thought about her next question. “And what are the stakes Walker?”

He shrugged. “I figured we were just playing for fun”.

“What’s the point if the winner doesn’t get something for their victory? How about the loser has to do whatever the winner asks?” She held out her hand to shake on the agreement. “What do you say Walker?”

He ran his hand through his hair slightly embarrassed, slightly afraid of what would happen if she wins. Drake looked up at her and locked his eyes with hers, both filled with determination, as he shook her hand. “You’ve got a deal Roberts. Now rack them up” he said gesturing towards the table.

Becky bent over the table to rack up the balls, as she purposefully rubbed her ass up against his groin, the hem of her wrap dress riding up her thighs, teasingly rolling her hips as she placed the balls in the rack, a deep growl escaping Drake’s lips.

Drake couldn’t deny that Becky was a gorgeous woman and yes, he’s had thoughts, but she couldn’t think of him in that way, could she? He reluctantly moved to the other end of the table to watch her. She playfully ran the pool stick though her fingers before bending over to line up her shot. From his point of view, he could see the pink lace of her bra peak over the fabric of her low-cut dress. As she took her first shot, the balls clamored together, scattering over the green felt of the table. Two stripped balls sank into one of the corner pockets. She looked up at Drake, noticing his shocked expression.

“What?”

He closed his mouth and threw up his hands. “Nothing, nothing”.

She walked around, reading the table, analyzing her next shot. As she walked around Drake, Becky ran her hand across the back of his muscular shoulders and down to graze his ass. His body jolted up at her touch, he could feel his pants growing tighter as his dick hardened at the thought of being with her. Becky spotted her shot, leaning over the table and arching her back ever so slightly as she drew back the wooden stick before connecting it with the white cue ball which shot into the purple stripped ball, sailing it into the far-right corner pocket.

Drake ran his hand down his face. “What are you going to make me do Roberts?”

Becky gave him a frisky smile as she lined up her third shot, missing the corner pocket by an inch.

“Looks like I’m up” He scans the table before leaning over getting ready to shoot.

Before he could Becky was standing next to him, leaning into him “Don’t miss” she whispered before running her warm, wet tongue around the shell of his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. Somehow through that Drake still managed to sink the solid orange ball into a corner pocket.

“You’re going to have to try harder than that Roberts”.

She placed herself between him and the table reaching her hands to trail them down his broad chest before roaming to the twitch in his pants, palming him gently through his pants as she lifted herself up on her tiptoes to lick his lips. “I’ll keep that in mind”, their lips nearly touching, a groan escaping Drake’s mouth as he threw his head back. She backed away, eying him as she walked to the side opposite him. He tried concentrating on his next shot, that was until he saw her toying with the knot of her wrap dress, slowly unraveling it. His eyes traveled up to meet hers, which were already watching him intently. Becky watched his eyes visibly darken as she opened up her dress and let it slide off her shoulders, revealing the soft pink lacy bra and a matching lace thong that barely covered her increasingly wet pussy. She didn’t know what it was about Drake, but she wanted him, bad. She knew wanting him was wrong, but she needed him, needed to feel his rough strong body against hers, she needed a release away from the life of a being a royal and he could give that to her.

Seeing her there barely clad, Drake fumbled his shot, sending the cue ball sailing through the billiard balls, not hitting a single one. “What are you doing Roberts!”

“Playing to win” she said with a wink as she planned her next shot.

“Okay. So that’s what we’re doing now?”

Becky shrugged as she made her play, sailing one of her striped balls into a corner pocket.

Drake decided that he wanted to try and beat her at her own game, so he started slowly unbuttoning his shirt, shrugging it off revealing his glistening bronze skin and his perfectly chiseled chest and abs, making Becky’s jaw drop.

“See something you like Roberts?” he teased.

“I haven’t seen the whole thing yet” Becky bantered.

They continued with the game mercilessly teasing each other along the way, until it was Drake’s turn and he only had the blue #2 ball and the black eight ball. He easily shot the blue ball in the corner pocket. “This is it Roberts, if I make this you’ll be at my mercy. Eight ball left, front corner pocket” Drake called out. Becky knew this was it and she had to pull out all the stops if she wanted to win, so she pushed herself up, sitting on the left, front edge of the table. Spreading her legs over the pocket she slipped one hand under the band of her thong, gently rubbing circles on her sensitive nub, biting her lower lip as soft moans fled her lips.

“Roberts!” he growled.

Becky ignored him, reaching her other hand up to massage her breast, the friction of the lace heightening her pleasure and she cried out again. All Drake could do was watch in amazement at this beautiful woman spread out, touching herself for him. He clenched his pool stick with one hand and grabbed onto his manhood with the other, giving it a few tugs through his jeans. He needed to have her, he couldn’t stop thinking about how it would feel to touch her and now was his chance. Drake shook his head trying to clear the image of her from his mind as he sank the eight ball into its designated pocket. He tossed the stick on the table in a huff and walked up behind her, grabbing her by the shoulders, his bare chest pressed against her back. Startled by Drake’s reaction Becky’s hands froze. He pulled her in close, his hot breath tickling her earlobe.

“Do you have any idea how much I want you. What you do to me?” Pressing harder into her so Becky could feel the growing hardness of his dick pressed against her back. A burst of heat washed over her body thinking about how big he was, thinking about how he would feel deep inside of her, and she gasped. “Oh, and I do believe I’ve won the game Roberts” his voice low and deep, she could feel the growl reverberating in his chest.

“So, what does the winner get?” she asked looking up at him, his pupils blown out with lust.

“You” he groaned as he crashed his lips onto hers, his tongue rolling around hers in a heated kiss. “But first I want you to lay back on the table and continue”. Becky crawled to the middle of the table, laid back on the felt and spread her legs to give him a better view. She slipped her hand under the pink lace, her fingers roaming her wet folds.

“Ohhh!” she groaned out, one finger plunging into her cunt. Her back arched and her hips bucked when she added a second finger. Drake sat back watching her body writhe in front of him as she inched herself closer to an orgasm. He sipped his drink as his hand rested firmly on his groin.

He couldn’t take it any longer. Fuck decorum. He wanted her, and she wanted him. Drake strut up to her, running his rough hands up her legs as he grasped her hips, playing with the band of her panties.

“Drake” she whispered.

His hands roamed up her sides and over her breasts as he leaned over her trailing hard kisses across her chest and down her stomach, working his way to her inner thighs, the smell of her was intoxicating. Drake ran his hands back down her body, giving her goosebumps, as he hooked his hands around her thong, yanking it off, letting it fall to the floor. Drake returned his head in between her legs, her hands running through and gripping at his dark hair.

“I wonder if you taste as sweet as I imagined” his tongue traversing her folds lapping up her juices. “Mmmm” he breathed out as his tongue dove into her warm wet center.

“Fuck! Drake!” Her hands pulled him in closer, bucking her hips on his tongue. “Ohhh!” She yelled out. “Mmmm, yeah”.

He placed one firm hand on her stomach, pressing her into the felt tabletop attempting to still her. “Fuck Roberts” you taste so sweet. He replaced his tongue with one finger, bobbing in and out, curling as he hit her sweet spot, his lips suctioned around her clit.

Waves of heat washed over her body as he slipped in a second finger. “Drake! Fuck I’m going to cum Drake!” She felt him smirk against her clit as he kept going, ushering her closer to her orgasm. He growled out as he felt her muscles tighten around his fingers as she came, her juices dripping down his hand. Drake stood as he slowly removed his hand, watching her body convulse on the table, a few stray whimpers leaving her throat. Ignoring her shaking body and her weakened muscles Becky sat up wrapping all of her limbs around his hard body. Her hands encircling his neck, pulling him in close for a hungry kiss, tasting her juices mixed with the whiskey on his tongue. Drake responded by drawing her in closer, one hand trailed down her spine, unhooking her bra, while the other got lost in her hair as he deepened the kiss. Becky broke the kiss trying to catch her breath, her chest heaving. “I need you Drake” she said breathlessly as she nuzzled in his neck, kissing and nibbling down to his breastbone, her name parting from his lips in a lustful groan.

“Here?”

“Mmhhmm” she said as she kissed up his neck, lips roaming over his Adam’s apple and chin, biting his lower lip.

He’s thought about this moment for so long, he’s wanted her ever since he found out she was in Cordonia. But he always imagined their first time, if there ever was a first time, to be more romantic. He couldn’t deny his feelings for her any longer. Feeling her lips and hands roam over his body, he gave into the temptation. “Oh, Roberts” he started, running his hand down her cheek, “I need you too. I’ve wanted you for so long”. He kissed her again, more passionately this time, filling with something other than just lust. Becky reached down and undid his belt, letting it hang to the side. She then undid the top button of his jeans before slowly unzipping them. Her hand dove down, eagerly reaching under his boxers to wrap her fingers around his thick, hard dick as she shimmied off his pants with her feet. Drake gasped at her touch, the way her soft skin felt gripping on to him was better than he imagined.

“Boxers off Walker”.

Drake backed away to slide the confining clothing from his body, Becky leaning back on her arms, taking in the sight of him. His eyes hungrily roamed her naked body and suddenly she felt so self-conscience, attempting to cover herself up.

“What?” She asked him, afraid that something was wrong.

He shook his head “Roberts, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen”. That made her smile and relax. He repositioned himself in between her legs, running his fingers along her thighs, wrapping her legs around his waist. “I’m going to make you scream my name” he said as he teased her wet opening with his tip.

Hearing him say those words sent a shiver through her body at the thought of what was about to happen. Drake laid her back on the table, leaning over her as he slowly inched into her. She felt her walls spread and contract as he entered her. As soon as he was in, Drake have a few slow pumps before quickening his tempo. His big hands held onto her tits as he repeatedly pounded into her wet pussy. “Fuck Roberts. You’re so tight” he breathed out as he tweaked her nipples into hard peaks.

“Ohhh, fuck, Drake!!” She cried out as her body writhed on the table. He felt her walls tighten around his cock, telling him that she was close.

Drake withdrew his throbbing cock from her wetness. “Get up and bend over the table” he commanded.

Becky’s never seen that commanding side of him before and it turned her on. Her body, weak and trembling attempted to slide off the table. As soon as she was on her feet, Drake whirled her around, pressing on her back to bend her over the thrust deep inside her. One arm was around her waist holding up her smaller frame as the other pulled her head back by her hair. His thrusts came hard and quick.

“Fuck Drake. Ohhhh fuck!!”.

“That’s its Roberts, scream my name!” His voice a deep growl. He pulled up her body so her back was arched, planting kisses across her back as he continued with his thrusts. “Fuck Roberts you feel so damn good!”

Her walls began to tighten again as she yelled out his name, a chant from her lips as she came. “Drake! Drake! Drake!”

Feeling her muscles tighten around him sent him flying over the edge. He groaned out her name as if it were his personal mantra. “Roberts!” He cried out as he spilled his cum inside her, covering her walls. He held onto her trembling body tightly as he rested his head on her back as they both worked to steady their bodies and breath. Drake helped her up as he turned her around to face him, brushing the hair from her face, a huge grin crossing both their mouths. He looked deeply into her eyes and gently kissed her lips before pulling her tight into his chest, stroking her back. Feeling how he held her close, she instinctively wrapped her arms around him, fingers gently grazing the muscles of his toned back as they both came down from their high. They stayed like that, entangled as one, until their bodies returned to normal. Drake reluctantly pulled away from her, picked up her clothing, and handed it to her, a shy smile on his lips. They dressed in a slightly awkward silence until Becky walked up to Drake, placing a hand on his arm as he buttoned his shirt.

“Drake”.

“Let’s just get back to the hotel, I’m sure you have a long day tomorrow” his voice cold and emotionless. She removed her hand, looking down to hide her pained expression. Drake guided Becky back to the hotel, ushering her through the lobby and into the elevator.

“Drake. Talk to me. It seems like you just flipped a switch”.

“Roberts, I’ve dreamt about that moment for so long and I just thought it would be…I don’t know…. different. Plus, what about Liam. There’s just so many factors to consider”.

The elevator dings and opens to Becky’s floor, she stepped out into the hallway, holding the door to keep it from closing. “You know Drake, we can figure all that stuff out tomorrow. Why don’t you accompany me to my room? At least for an hour or two.”

Excited and a bit surprised at her invitation Drake steps out into the hallway with her.

WIP Wednesday

(It almost Thursday where I live but who cares about dates, right? 😂)

Looking at me slowing removing the dust from my WIP folder lol. Here are a few WIPs I've been working on lately:

1. Closer [working title] | Prince Hamid X MC (Daphne Wang) - Desire & Decorum Modern Day AU

"So you have family in Europe too!"

"I do. My whole family was exiled after World War One. My grandfather grew up here in the US, but most part of the family lived in Europe. He was visiting one of his cousins in London when he met my grandmother. She was a History teacher and she was fascinated by all his stories about the sultanate and the janissary."

"She wasn't wrong. It does sound fascinating. But why was your family exiled after the war?"

"It's what usually happens to royal families when monarchy is abolished. That is to say, when they get a chance to flee the country before being executed."

Daphne stared wide eyed at him.

"If they stayed, I probably wouldn't be sitting here having tea and baked goods with you."

"Oh..." she mumbled in realisation. "You really are a descendant from the Ottoman sultans."

"I am."

"You could've been a sultan!"

"I'd be a prince, actually. My father is very much alive, thankfully."

2. Mending Fences | Hana Lee, MC (Jade Bourbon)

By the time Jade walked into the room, everyone minus Liam were already there on their seats. Leo, Juliet and Drake seemed engaged into an deep conversation, while Maxwell and Hana had a small talk with the other ladies.

All of them acknowledged her presence with her polite smiles and wishing her good morning, except for three people. Madeleine, of course, just seized her from head to toe, probably disappointed the future queen wasn't poorly dressed as she expected. Drake glared at her for a brief moment then returned to their conversation. Hana's reaction, however, was different from anyone else's. Despite not saying anything, the sorrow in her eyes spoke volumes. Perhaps, it was about time for Jade to take the first step ans start mending fences.

Prompt: prompt 7 by

@choicesdecemberchallenge2022 @peonierose

I am thankful for...

Drake parked his truck and moved out. He pulled on his jacket a bit more tightly as he felt the Lythikan chill. He took a moment to look at the serene white mountains around him. A smile played on his lips, unknowingly. ‘How did he get here? Loving the snow and falling in love with the snow queen.’

A soft breeze kissed his cheeks. ‘Just like her red lips do.’ He blushed at her thought. His life had taken a new turn when she expressed herself. ‘Olivia? Lady Olivia Nevrakis loves me?’ He had questioned himself aloud.

He shook his head and turned to walk into the Nevrakis chateau. Surprisingly, it was very quiet.

‘May be Olivia sent away the staff to spend a quiet evening with me.’ He chuckled at the thought and pushed at the main entrance. The heavy ornate doors opened with a slight creek.

‘This one needs some grease.’ He made a mental note. Olivia’s house had become his home away from home and he enjoyed being her handyman even when she had an army of men to work for her.

As soon as he stepped in, he covered his nose. ‘What an awful smell! Burnt meat.’ He assessed. The hall stood still and so did the staircase, the parlour, the library. He went to the kitchen, where the waft came from. The scene was a mess. Flour on the island and on the floor, the oven was all black and simmering though switched off. But no one in sight.

Drake’s brows furrowed. He called out with a worried note, “Livy?”

No response.

“Livy...” he raised his voice.

Still nothing. He hurried through the back exit. “Olivia?” he yelled into the backyard. He scurried to the left and then to the right side. He slowed down when he finally saw her crouched down on a rock. She had her knees to her chest, her arms curled around and head hung low on her hands.

He trudged slowly, “Livy?”

She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes red and welled up. Her cheeks showed stains of the dried-up tears. She was wearing just a sleeveless frock. He quickly removed his jacket to cover her bare arms. “How long have you been here like this?” He cradled her in his arms in an attempt to give her some warmth.

She rested her cheek on his arm as a silent sob escaped her lips. He patted on her red head wondering what went wrong. “Let’s get you in, first.” He pulled her up and they walked back into the kitchen.

He helped her settle down in a chair. She looked at Drake and then her eyes fell on something behind him. She winced at the sight.

He got up to check out where her gaze had rested. That’s when he noticed all the food spread out on the kitchen island, platform and table.

He snickered, trying to control his laughter, now that realisation hit him of hat brought the meltdown to his headstrong girl. He moved the ladle into a bowlful of gooey mix. He dipped his finger in and licked it.

“Why does this taste like salted syrup?”

Olivia covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. He heard her muffled reply, “I was trying to make pie.”

“And you mixed up between salt and sugar.” He stated. His eyes fell on the baking tray nearby. “Ah! you made the crust as well.” He tried to take a piece off the baked crust of pie but he couldn’t break it. “Hey Livy, this crust is as tough as you.”

Olivia gave out a wailing cry, still hiding her face. Drake was smiling. He knew he was on the right track and he moved to where the burnt turkey laid. “Oh boy! It seems this turkey couldn’t tolerate the Nevrakis cooking. Look he committed suicide.”

Olivia peeped through her fingers and saw Drake standing there and guffawing at her. She ran to him and playfully pounded on his chest. He encircled his arms and embraced her, now laughing out loudly and soon she joined in.

She relaxed in his arms. He knew how to diffuse the situation. He knew how to make her smile through tears. As she calmed down, he placed a kiss on her head, “Why did you put yourself through all this?” he asked.

Her lips thinned out in a line, “I wanted to do something from your tradition for you.”

“Hmm, well that can be managed.”

“How?” she fanned out her hand at all the wasted food.

He beamed at her, “Come with me.” He held her hand and walked her out to his truck. He uncovered the cargo bed to reveal the large vessel full of food.

Olivia gasped. “What? You made all of this?”

He nodded bemused with her reaction.

“Why?” she looked at him confused.

“Because I wanted to share my tradition with you.”

She gave him a side hug and he took the opportunity to leave a peck on her temple. “Now, where do you want me to put this so that we can enjoy a happy meal?”

“Anywhere but my kitchen.” She scrunched her nose at the thought of the mess she had left behind.

“Okay, as you say. We can deal with your kitchen later.”

Drake carried the food as she guided him to the terrace. They ate and sat their, enjoying the view of the mountains around.

After a scrumptious meal, the duo headed to her room to catch up on their favourite show. Olivia sat on the couch and Drake made himself comfortable laying down, resting his head in her lap. He loved the feel of her fingers raking through his chestnut hair. He had closed his eyes, relaxing, when she asked him, “Drake?”

“Hmm?”

“What are you grateful for?”

He opened his eyes and gave her a puzzled look. “Where does this come from now?”

“Isn’t this what is supposed to be said after the meals on Thanksgiving?” she questioned back.

“Sort of...” he shrugged.

“So, what is your answer?

He started counting on his fingers, “The first thing I am grateful for is having Liam in my life.”

“And?”

“Having a loving nephew.”

“And?”

“Being able to survive amongst the pretentious nobles.”

“And?”

He deliberately kept avoiding what she wanted to hear.

“I thank God that I know how to cook food without burning it to ashes.” He said teasing her.

She slapped him on his shoulder. He doubled up in exaggeration. “Ouch, ouch, ouch! That hurt.”

She tried to push him away when he turned and held her by her arms. His brown eyes steadily gazing into her green ones. “You. Your love. That is the best thing I could ask for. I am grateful to God for giving me these moments that I get to share with you, the happiness that you bring to me, the way you take away all my worries and pain, the fact that you love me... I am grateful that I get to love you, Olivia.”

And he sealed it with a kiss.

Previous Chapter

Chapter 3: Falling for each other

Drake Walker x Rose Thorne (my MC)

WC: 4,2k

Hana and Max were hanging out in your bedroom while you were packing up so you could go to Applewood manor, you were packing things neatly into your massive suitcase.

'Soo Roseeeee' Maxwell said giddy as he dragged out your name.

You knew he was dying to ask you what exactly you and Drake talked about and while you appreciated the support but to be honest there wasn't much to tell, you and Drake were just getting to know each other.

You supposed at least now the conversation had been had that you could relax a bit more and not get so anxious.

You couldn't believe you had told Drake about your anxiety, it wasn't something you shared with a lot of people, not because you were ashamed of it but you hated how people made you feel about having it, they judged you often unfairly. Once people found out about it they treated you like you were fragile or broken which you deeply despised.

Or people would demand to know everything you were feeling all the time and they made you feel like you owed them something.

You looked over at your best friends.

'Yeees Maxie moo?'

'How was your chat with Drake? You looked awfully close at the firepit when i found you'

You felt heat in your face and your ears felt hot too.

I can't believe he had seen that. If he had walked out any earlier then he would have seen more, of course you didn't mind him knowing or Hana but unfortunetly you had to be careful to not be seen by others which was frustrating because all you wanted to do was to go on dates with Drake, hold his hand and kiss him and do all the normal stuff people did when they were dating which you and Drake technically weren't but it felt like it.

It did feel like it... Right?

You shook your head at yourself

Do better Rose, you can trust Drake, you know that. You can trust his feelings for you and yours for him.

God once your anxiety got triggered it would linger on for a while.

You kept thinking about Liam, you didn't want to hurt him, if he found out you and Drake were falling for each other he would be hurt but if you told him first he would still get hurt.

Poison or cyanide

your brain supplied ever so helpfully.

' We talked and we aren't persuimng a relationship. For now we are just getting to know each other' you shrugged and gathered more of your stuff to pack into your suitcase.

Maxwell and Hana wiggled their eyebrows suggestively at you and you threw a pillow in their directiom that hit Maxwell's face

' Ow Ro!'

' Are you guys not dating because of Liam?' Hana asked softly and gave you a knowing look

' It's definetly one of the reasons, I don't want to hurt him but i don't want to lead him on. If things go further with Drake then I will talk to him. I just want to make sure it's in the least painful way, you know?'

' Of course Rose, we understand' Hana said and got up and pulled you into a hug and got teary and sniffled a bit and Hana stroked your hair and Maxwell went over and hugged boh of you.

Once you had taken some deep breaths just like you had done with Drake last night and you had calmed down you went back over and finished packing.

Arriving at Applewood Manor felt like Deja vu, It was weird being back here after has time, you decided to compliment and treat a staff member nicely to gain information, you managed to gain her trust and she admitted that someone wanted to play a prank on you but she didn't know who, afterwards you confided in Maxwell and Bertrand. You all collectively decide to keep investigating the scandal as there's not enough evidence to do much to be honest. At least your main suspect is a noble lady which is better than nothing you suppose.

In the morning you get dressed in a withe vest top, a red plaid shirt and some short distressed jean shorts, you pull your hair away from your face in a half up half down hairstyle before you go to Maxwell and Bertrand and you head towards the Limo.

Reporters are outside the manor trying to get a statement out of you and the questions get under your skin especially when the reporter asks 'why did you betray king Liam?'

You keep your head down and keep moving but your hand trambles around Maxwell's elbow and he looks at you with an apprehensive look.

You feel bad

you feel so guilty about you and Drake but when you're with him you are pulled towards him and nothing else makes sense to you.

It's not like you're sleeping with Drake or in a secret relationship or that you and Liam ever were a 'thing' but you did once upon a time come here for Liam but the more you get to know Drake the more you fall for him.

The one thing that pulls you towards him is how fiercely he takes care of you, hell no one has ever looked out for you like that before.

After your parents divorce your mum left with you and she started turning to alcohol to self soothe and she started blaming you for the divorce as your parents had you as an attempt to save their marriage.

What they really wanted was a boy. You treated your whole life like one but of course your parents were upset that you didn't act like a man

Because you weren't one your subconscious provides ever so helpfully.

You spent your whole childhood looking after yourself, you had to be the grown up and you let no one get too close to you so you wouldn't get hurt again.

Drake managed to see right through you, get you to open up and still take care of you when the less pretty parts came out.

But you couldn't help but fear that you were breaking Liam's heart and the last thing you wanted to do was hurt him.

The limo ride was preparing you for todays activity which was building farms to show support of Liam and Madeleine's upcoming nuptials, you didn't get why it would be to support them but you understood that Cordonia and it's traditions were important to Liam and important to Cordonia.

Once Bertrand left the Limo Maxwell stayed back with you.

'Is everything okay Ro? You were shaking when we were out there with the press'

You took a deep breath, you considered telling Maxwell the truth but decided against it as you weren't quite ready.

'Yeah just a bit overwhelmed because of the press and with the whole scandal hanging over my head' your eyes were downcast

Maxwell squeezed your hand gently

'Hey, we will get to the bottom of this okay? None of us will stop until you are a free woman'

' thank you Max. It truly means a lot.. shall we go out there?'

'Let's build some barns wooo!'

You plastered on your best smile but it felt disingenuous and fake as you and Maxwell got out of the limo.

As soon as you were outside the limo you were once again met with reporters and you took a deep breath, you had to at the very least make a statement on the scandal or things would spiral and you did not want that.

'I would like to make a statement' you anounced as you looked at the reporter who held a microphone out for you to speak into, there was also cameras everywhere that you avoided looking at.

'I have and always will love Cordonia, the kingdom and it's people are dear to me. When I thought i had to leave it I felt a great sadness as I think of Cordonia as my home. I am grateful that the Beaumont's for bringing me here and making me a part of their family. That is all I would like to share for now'

Reporters were raising their hands to ask you questions but you excused yourself. Drake and Hana were by the barn in the middle of operating a pulling system. They were struggling to lift the beam off the ground.

'Pull' Drake instructed with a look of concentration on his face

'Hrrrfff!!!'

Hana and Drake's muscles strain against the weight of the beam.

'Pull! Pull! PULL!' Maxwell instructs enthusiastically

'Hi guys' you say to let them know you are here to help them.

'Maxwell? Rose?'

Hana is so distracted by Maxwell and your arrival that she loses her focus and drops the rope and the beam crashes to the ground.

'Ooops! Sorry, Drake! I was just excited to see our friends. And it seems like Rose came dressed and ready to work' Hana winks at you.

'you know iiittt'

'I didn't think we were going to get it all the way up there by ourselves anyway' Drake reassures Hana which you find really sweet.

You take in Drakes features for the first time since you arrived, he's shirtless. You find yourself speechless for the first time in a long time, you are drinking in Drake's beautiful features from the way his hair falls- which it has grown out a bit and it goes beyond his ears and almost goes down to his shoulders now and it suits him so much. His stomach is defined and there are veins going up his hands to his wrist, his dark eyes are golden in the sunlight and god he is beyond gorgeous. You catch your breath and realize that you are falling just a bit more in love with him. You feel your cheeks warm up ever so slightly.

'Drake! You're.. you're shirtless!'

'Oh. Right' Drake seems to realize that he is indeed shirtless and he blushes prettily from his cheeks and to his ears.

'He started off with a shirt' Hana comments shyly

'Hey, it's hot! A guy's got to pull off somehow' Drake deadpans and you snort

'Maxwell you are going to be sweating buckets in that black shirt' Drake comments as he looks over at Maxwell.

'There's a spot over there were many nobles are hanging their dress shirts or alternatively I think Drake chose a spot on the ground for his'

'Yeah Max, you could lose the shirt' you shrugged and grinned at him

'Nah, i'll leave my shirt on. This cotton down is made of moisture -wicking fabric. Very breathable'

'Drake, you sure you're not trying to show off for the press?'

Or maybe he is shirtless just for my benefit?

' I'm happiest out of frame'

Ahhh interesting. So it was for you. That thought alone made your cheeks flush. You could look at him like this all day, any day.

This man was your weakness and you didn't mind one bit.

You, Hana, Maxwell and Drake work together to get the beam up to the second floor of the barn as the press takes pictures of you and your group of friends. Your group devides and you decide to stay and help Drake with the beam both Hana and Maxwell give you a suggestive look before they walk off in different directions to different work stations.

'Well it looks like you have chosen to stick with me, Thorne'

'I stand by my decision'

'Heh okay' Drake smiles at you shyly

'Sooo big strong man like you Drake, what could you possibly need my help with?'

You lean towards him and squeeze his bicep and Drake leans into the touch, you hand touches his hair and you put it behind his ear.

'Thorne..' he warns you weakly.

'Your hair looks good at this length..'

Drake's cheeks heat up for the second time since you have arrived.

'Thorne.. you're killing me..' Drake whines weakly. Your eyes goes to his lips and back up to his eyes searching and you bite your lip.

' This is harder than I thought it would be' you admit.

You look around quickly to make sure the cost is clear, the press have moved further away to take pictures of Madeleine and Liam, everyone else is busy so you lean over and kiss Drakes cheek.

'I'm sorry this is hard on you. I don't want to keep letting you down'

Drake rubs his neck and looks away from you.

'Look at me Drake'

Drake looks at you, he looks crushed like he knows he'll always disappoint you and your heart hurts just looking at him.

You intertwine your fingers and caress his hand with your thumb.

' You do not disappoint me. I want you. I want this. I know it can't be right now and I'm okay with that.. what I'm not okay with is you doubting yourself'

'I just think you could do so much better than me, I-'

'I disagree. At the end of this scandal I'm still going to want you. I will tell you a million times until you get it into your thick skull. Drake Walker i want you'

Drake looks around, no one is paying the two of you any mind so he puts his arms around your waist and pulls you close. Your hands go into his hair and your lips crash with his into a deeply passionate and hungry kiss, once you break apart you.

'How so you always know what to say Rose?'

You lean your forehead against his. The moments in between when he lets go and lets his walls down enough to say your name is so precious to you.

'It's a gift i suppose, I am your weakness Afterall'

As you move out of his space and let go of his hand you miss his touch already.

' I was meaning to ask you this actually... how are you after last night?'

His tone is so soft. So gentle and filled with so much warmth and care that it melts your heart and you feel your eyes get teary.

'I'm much better when I'm around you'

'Aww shucks Thorne.. you are melting my tin can heart'

You look at him and hold his gaze.

'I mean it. Whenever I'm around you I feel like that voice inside my head that tells me I'm not good enough quiets down'

Drake pulls you into a short hug and strokes your hair. You always feel so safe with him.

'I'm always here for you okay? If you ever need anything let me know'

'You. I need you. I know though and I can't thank you enough'

As you pull apart the romantic tension is thick. You clear your throat.

'So how can I help you build this barn?'

Drake brings over Mirabelle's dream to help out, you lead the horse forward and use the pulling system to get beam after beam to the second floor. Drake lets you know he got Mirabelle's dream to help ypu with the press. God he's such a marshmallow.

At the end of the afternoon Liam somehow manages to escape Madeleine, he's smiling but you can see the strain in that smile. It's good to see him though. You can't wait to break off the engagement so Liam can find someone who deserves him, while you don't harbour any romantic feelings for him you still care for him deeply and wish him well.

Liam, Maxwell, Hana, you and Drake head towards the spa nearby for some much needed relaxation. Once you reach the spa Maxwell, Liam and Drake goes to one changing room to get ready while you and Hana go to another changing room, once everyone is in their swimwear and covered up with towels you all head out to the different pool areas the boys go to their own room and you and Hana go to another.

You sit down with Hana and Hana hand you a sparkling fruit -infused water before getting herself one, you thank her and take a sip.

'Ahhh just what we needed after a long day'

'Sooo how did building a barn go with Drake?'

You bump your shoulder into Hana's and smile at her and sigh.

'Every time I'm alone with him and I think i couldn't possibly like him more than I do I always end up being wrong... he just makes me so happy Hana'

Hana looks at you sweetly and squeeze your hand.

' I'm so happy for you Rose. I hope i find someone someday that makes me feel that way'

You look at her and can tell she's struggling with something and your chest hurts just looking at her face.

'Are you okay Hana?'

Hana shakes her head and looks down before looking back at you.

'I need to tell you something.. I'm just a little scared... That's all'

'Oh Hana.. you know you can tell me anything right?'

Hana takes a deep breath and squeeze your hand before looking determined.

' I've done a lot of self reflection this past year and I've come to realise why I never care for my ex fiancé. There was never this spark because- because-'

Ohhhh that actually make a lot of sense when you think about it.

She's never shown interest in the prince beyond friendship or seemed interested in anyone here so far but you thought she was just shy.

You squeeze her hand reasuringly to encourage her to keep going.

'Because I'm not into men. Like at all. Rose... I'm.. Gay' Hana admits and you pull her into a bone crushing hug and she gently hugs you back

'I'm so so proud of you Hana. This is so amazing!! I'm so happy for you'

'Really?'

You can tell she's still terrified. As if you are going to tell her you're joking or that you are upset with her. You silently curse her parents for this as you are sure they have probably made her feel like being herself in any way wasn't okay.

You pull her closer to you. You promise yourself to always be there for her and reassure her that you're proud of her.

'Yes. Thank you for telling me. For trusting me with this'

Once she's ready to look for love you are going to be her wing woman and help her out in any way that you can.

'You're my best friend Rose of course I trust you. But can you keep it between the two of us for now?' Hana asks as you pull away from her.

'Of course Hana'

'You know... The rooms are technically co-ed. I assume you might want to stay separate for privacy's sake, but we could crash the boy's side... If you're feeling daring'

You take her hand in hers and head toward the boy's room, once you enter it both you and Hana are giggling.

'Surpriseee' you and Hana exclaim synchronised.

'Oh! Rose, Hana! Should we... Er... Cover up more?' Liam asked clearly surprised to see you and Hana.

'I think the ladies will be fine' Drake deadpans

'Yes I've seen a man in a towel before'

You look around the room and wonder were Maxwell is.

'Wait a second... Where's Maxwell?'

'Hiding. And that was before you all burst in. Come on out, Maxwell'

'Yes. You can't hide forever' Liam agrees and laughs

Maxwell steps out from the doorway and the steam clears and you notice he has a baby hippo tattooed on his chest. Aww that's so cute.

'Go ahead and laugh if you want. Just don't tell Bertrand you saw it'

'Is that a baby hippo' Hana asks in a soft voice

'Oh Maxie, that tattoo is so adorable'

Maxwell grins, clearly relieved.

'I know! Isn't this little guy the cutest?'

'Would I be correct in guessing that there's a sort of story behind this?'

Maxwell blushes and smiles.

'Kind of... When I was a kid, my mom would call me a her little hippo'

That's actually the sweetest thing you have ever heard Maxwell say ever. Also probably the only personal thing you really know about him as he rarely shares anything especially not about his past.

'I didn't think it was possible for this moment to get any better, but here we are'

'I was kind of chubby when I was younger, before I got into dancing. My dad was really hard on me about it, but my mom never made me feel bad. She was really smart and funny. She said i was just like a hippo... Fun-loving but tough, and always able to make her smile and she made hippos sound really cool and amazing. Anyway, when she passed away, I wanted to do something to commemorate her. I told Bertrand I was going to get something done... He thought i meant have some artwork commissioned.. So he was pretty surprised when he saw the tattoo'

Yikes. You could almost imagine Bertrand losing his mind over this.

'I suppose it doesn't fit particularly fit with the image of house Beaumont that Bertrand's striving to maintain...'

'Yeah, this was more or less his second to worst nightmare.. Or so he keeps telling me anyway.. So he said that if we're ever around nobility or servants that I had to keep it covered up. But I can trust you right?'

'Of course! On my honour'

'I will only tease you when Bertrand isn't around Maxie poo'

Maxwell let go of a breath you didn't realise he had been holding and smiled

' That's all I ask Ro Ro'

The nicknames were a new thing but you were enjoying that they seemed to get more and more silly as time went on and you were more than okay with that.

'As fun as discussing Maxwell's hippo tattoo has been, I'm going to take a plunge in the cold plunge.. Anyone want to join?' Drake looked over at you briefly and smirked

'No thanks. After today, I'm relaxing in the tub..'

Drake walks to the furthest pool across the room, while Liam, Hana and Maxwell heads towards the steaming hot water, you go over to the pool where Drake is standing poised to jump into the cold plunge.

'Trying to summon your courage?' you ask cheekily and looks at Drake expectantly

'This is supposed to be good for you, you know?' Drake says and looks at you like he is challenging you to jump in

'Is that so?' You raise your eyebrows at him.

'Yeah, like most things in life, the best thing is sometimes the most painful.. Want to do it with me?'

There's a depth to that answer that you hope Drake will expand on one day once he is ready but for now you focus on just being around him without stirring up past trauma.

'Sure, why not' You shrug but deep down you're not a fan of cold water, however you are a fan of more time alone with Drake, all day any day.

'Really?'

Drake seems pleasantly surprised by your answer almost if he expected you to back down now.

Oh it's on...

'I can't possibly let you do this on your own'

'That's the spirit'

You intertwine your hand with his and stand at the end of the cold plunge. You and Drake look at each other and count down from three to one and jump in together. The water is so freaking cold you try your best not to shiver. The cold water washes over you both and once you resurface you both look at each other and gasp.

'That was..'

'Intense?'

'That's definitely one word for it'

'Having trouble keeping up with me, Throne?' Drake asks there's definitely some mirth underneath his deadpan expression

'Me? Never'

'Heh'

Drake hefts himself out of the cold plunge and he reaches back a hand to help you out, you take his hand and smirk up at him deviously before pulling his hand, Drake stumbles and loses his balance and fall back into the pool, once he resurfaces from the water he gasps.

'Thorne!' Drake exclaims before splashing you with water and you splash him back in the face and the two of you start a water fight and splash each other until you are both out of breath.

Drake seems swept up in the moment as he puts his arms around your waist and pulls you close to him, you are inches apart. You bite your lip and search his expression to make sure there's no doubt or regret , when all you can see on his features is pure want you crash your lips against his in a heated kiss that doesn't last nearly long enough before you pull away.

'You are full of surprises'

You fingers trace Drakes face and you push a strand of his hair behind his ear.

'Good ones, I hope?'

Drake leans his forehead against yours briefly and he smiles at you

'You can surprise me like that any day... But right now we should probably...'

'Be sensible and discreet?' you sigh

'Unfortunately. And believe me when I say that it's very unfortunate'

'I guess we should check out the rest of the spa'

Drake agrees and you both leave the cold plunge and go find your friends and join them in the hot pool.

Blinded Lines, Part 2

Liam and I were in a weird place:Two days after making love, he announced that he was looking for a wife; he ended our relationship, saying that I needed to give Drake a chance. I can hardly look at Drake without feeling super guilty. I tried to be a good girlfriend to him, but I can't when another has my heart.

It’s been almost two months since the last time I was at the Palace. Drake and I were walking down the hall, and there he was looking all good. It looked as if Liam had been working out more or something. He stood with a dark headed woman named Riley, Drake told me as we approached them, whom I avoided speaking to. It seemed as if time had stopped. I couldn't breathe.

"Please, can someone get me some water?'' She said just before passing out.

Drake went to fetch the beverage, while Liam stayed with Aliania. He asked Riley to get Bastien.

"Aliania are you okay?”

"Thanks but I got it. Enjoy your little date."

"We need to talk, meet me in our room later? Please, Aliania.” before she could answer Riley and Bastien emerged.

"Are you okay Ms. Perez?" Bastien asked

"Yes, I think I just need something to drink, although I haven't eaten anything today. Oh, there's Drake now."

"Sorry it took so long, I got you something to eat and drink. I know you, Perez; when you are stressed you don't eat.”

Liam let Drake take over, after all she was Drake's girlfriend. He got up and walked over to Riley, wrapping his arm around her. My blood was boiling, I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t see them

Drake and I made our way to his room, where I laid down for a while after I ate the food he got me; when I woke up, at 9pm, Drake was watching me sleep.

"Oh my God, Drake! I slept from 3pm until now?" Omg Liam, he probably thought I stood him up.

"I need some fresh air, I'm going for a walk. "

"After your episode today do you really think that's a great idea?"

"I'm okay."

"I can come with you." She placed her hand on his arm."

"Drake baby, while you’ve been amazing today, I just need some space please don't take it personally. "

------

I wandered down the hall, and as I reached the east hall, I took a deep breath as I got closer to the door. I opened it, and there Liam sat shirtless, I must say he looked so sexy his muscles were more tone then before.

"Hey, my love, I didn't think you'd come. We need to talk.” He was wearing my favorite Creed cologne, while smooth jazz played softy in the background .

"Are you okay? Or did you just want get me away from Riley? He smirked

"I am okay as long as I got the job done, she's not really into you.

"How do you know she's not?"

"I'm pretty sure the way she looked at Drake when he returned says it all."

"Really? So you're not just jealous over her liking Drake?"

"I'm not, because I love you and only you."

"Can you stay with me tonight?" I haven't been able to touch you in almost two months! Please stay? I need you."

"I will, I miss you so much, let me just text Drake and tell him I went home."

________________

Riley sent Liam another text but still no response

She made it down to bar to see Hana and Maxwell already there.

It was late, and Drake found himself at the bar. Not alone; Riley and Maxwell and Hana were all there. Drake smiled a greeting to the others, feeling happy he had a chance to see Riley again

"So, where's Li?”

"I'm not sure,he's not answering my calls or text.

"So no Aliania tonight?" Max asked.

"She went home."

"Are you sure?" Max asked

"Beaumont, what do you mean?"

"I saw her car outside, that's all."

Maybe she took a cab." He didn't say anything to the others. but he had a feeling that his girlfriend was lying about something.

He tapped her a quick text

_______________

"You like what you see?" Liam asked with a chuckle. "That's the third time you’ve looked at me like that."

"Well I must admit, you looking damn good." She smiled.

"Honestly, I been hitting the gym extra hard for last few weeks now." I try my best not to think of you and Drake and no matter how hard I try,all I see is him touching you and doing other things and it drives me crazy. "

"Honestly we only been together once since the last two months, I ended up stopping him right in the middle, you had announced that your looking for a wife, I had to really process this

"I love you too, but are you sure? I mean, I know you don't want to ruin my relationship with him, but I made this bed. I gave in to loving you, so I must face the consequences of losing my best friend."

"I believe he'll be mad, but there is a certain person who can pull him through, I'm telling you Riley really likes him, she likes you but it's not the same as Drake."

" It's okay, I don't have feelings for Riley meeting her in NY, I mean for most part it was to try to get over you, I didn't know Maxwell would convince her to come here."

"You really have no feelings for her?

"Aliania my love, honestly I only have eyes for you, I know what's expected of me but I don't know if I can do it if your not by my side.

"We've been here for over an hour. I'm hungry, how about you?"He asked.

"I could eat something. I want scallops, roasted potatoes, and mixed greens”. He looked up at her and smiled.” What? I didn't eat much today."

Someone brought the food up.

Riley watched from a corner of the hallway.

She remembered when Maxwell gave a tour, he said no one stayed in that wing of the Palace, but she was curious to whom was using it. Making sure no one was around, she pressed her ear to the door; she made out Liam's voice, but she barely heard the female's voice. Riley hung around the doorway for about 20 minutes until she saw a guard walking the wing’s hallway. He asked her what she was doing there.

She replied she had gotten lost, which wasn’t a total lie. When the guard led her to her room, she saw Drake was knocking on her door.

________

"There you are Brooks, don't tell me you got lost again. Well, you'll learn.”

"Yeah, I was for a minute, but Spencer showed me the way.Thank you Spencer."

"So do you want to go get some real food? I heard a new American restaurant just opened up in the Square. It’s called Wayne's Chicken and Waffles.

"Sure,I’d love to. I really haven't ate much, because a certain someone stood me up for dinner." He won't even answer my calls or texts."

"It's something you might need to get used to; I mean, if you marry him he is the king and gets very busy at times."

"Do you think he's seeing someone?"

"Why would you ask such a thing?"

"It might be my imagination, but he seems kinda distracted. I don't have his full attention."

It crossed her mind when he changed. Liam was getting to know her, but today he cut their date short as soon as Aliania came around. But that couldn’t be the reason because Aliania was with Drake.

How could she choose him over Drake? Riley thought.

She and Drake ate, then went to the beer garden where they spotted Maxwell with a female.

"Drake, can we speak?" Max asked

"What's up, Beaumont?"

"What the hell do you think you're doing with little Blossom?

"What? We’re just friends, nothing more."

"Are you sure? I believe she likes you. I caught her checking you out the other day."

Drake tried not to look excited about Riley checking him out.

"Beaumont why don’t you and your date join us, you'll see for yourself nothing is going on. "

------

After a delicious dinner, Liam and Aliania watched a movie before falling asleep. Aliania woke up around 2am. Liam had been watching her sleep for about an hour, sitting in a chair next to the bed. "Hey, why are you over there?"

"Just watching the most beautiful woman in the world sleep.I couldn't sleep with so much on my mind lately, especially you my love."

She smiled. "You've been on my mind as well. I can't stop thinking about you, no matter how hard I try. I had a dream that you married someone who wouldn't let you see any of your friends. This lady was so evil towards you. Drake woke me, saying I was cursing in my sleep. Don’t look at me like that, we didn't sleep together. He just thought I would sleep if he was there, and I did for a minute but after he woke me I couldn't go back.For weeks now this social season has been bothering me."

"I'm sorry to worry you, it's just I need to marry and have an heir; it would fulfill my duties, but what I feel for you is not just a duty, I'm actually in love with you." You consume my every thought. "Enough about that, let's focus the rest of our night on us."

Come here my love?" I miss everything about you, no other can compare."

She sat in his lap, and he wrapped his arms around her while caressing her breast. He moved his mouth, kissing her neck and nibbling her earlobes a whimper escape her, he continued to get her worked up, She felt her body relax under his touch. He scooped her up and took her to bed. Her eyes closed as he dipped between her legs.

It had been almost two long months of not touching her, seeing her; he wanted to make her never want anyone else but him. He worked his tongue before inserting his finger deep inside of her; he worked his finger making her come multiple times.

He knew what he was doing.

He smiled as she came a fourth time.

"Shit, Liam! You are an amazing lover. I want to taste you, please?"

Aliania wrapped her lips around him, stroking him up and down. She loved satisfying the man she loved. Liam looked in her eyes as she took him all in.

He was now ready.

He pulled her up and flipped her over, licking her from the back before he slipped inside. "Damn baby, you're so wet and you feel so good."

"Yes, my king! Oh yes! I missed you too.”

He had her lay on her back as he entered from the side. She loved every inch of him.

He pulled out and rolled off the condom. " I want to feel you, If that’s okay. I have another condom if you say no.”

"Yes, My king she said almostout of breath. I've been wanting to feel you.”

He slipped back in and she wrapped her legs around him. He pulled himself into standing position while holding Aliania in place,he could feel himself getting harder, he started lifting her up and down they both could feel every inch of each other, she closed her as his movement because more rapid and faster, he was definitely in the zone, she tried to protest saying she was too heavy, but he just laughed." My love, do you know I lift weights heavier than you? He said a little out of breath.

He walked the room while pumping inside her a few more times before he could feel his own release coming, Both collapsed on the bed after Liam laid her down. After all, Liam was 6'4 and she was only 5"3.

"That was incredible." Liam praised.

"Yes, my king it was."

"My love, please don't feel guilty. I can tell you that you do."

"Sorry, but I can't help it, my king. I mean, what we're doing is not right yet we can't stay away from each other.You can't stand to see me with him, and I can't stand to see you with any other woman. We need to tell him because I want to just be yours."

"I'm only yours, my love. I've tried to move forward, but as long as you're around I don't see that happening. I only see us getting married, us having children, us together forever."

—---

Riley and Drake returned about 4 am, both tipsy but not too drunk. Once they got to Riley's room, she stood for a minute.

"Thank you, Drake. My date abandoned me, and you came to my rescue. I know at first you hated me, but I hope we're good now."

"Brooks, why do you believe I hated you?”

"Well you're so mean sometimes Drake, I just assumed.”

"Look Brooks, I'm sorry if I made you feel any kind of way. I had to get to know you first. See, the world I lived in for all my life wasn't the best, so my walls are always up.”

She took Drake's hand. "Please don’t get mad at what I'm about to say?"

"What's that?"

"Ali doesn't deserve you, she's not good for you. How could she have a man as incredible as you, and not value you." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

" But you just met her, Riley. You don't know her."

"I don't need to know her.I know plenty of women like her, and she doesn't deserve you.”

Riley stood on her tiptoes and kissed Drake; he pulled back. "Brooks, you know I have a girlfriend."

She let out a sigh. "I know, but I can't help how I'm starting to feel for you. I mean I've tried to fight my attraction to you, I've tried giving Liam a real chance. But honestly, his heart is somewhere else. It seems like he forces himself to spend time with me."

"Brooks, what are you talking about?"

"Well Liam is sweet, but he only kisses me on the cheek. I went to kiss him and he pushed me away, like he’s keeping me at arm's length because he's waiting on someone better to come along. He's canceled a lot of dates he's planned with me. It's like he's sabotaging finding a wife."

"Interesting, Brooks. Li is usually a smooth operator."

Drake laughed out loud. “Look, it's almost 5; I’d better be going. Get some rest okay?”

"Okay, I will and thank you for a good time. I wish we could have gone further." She winked before disappearing into her roo.

The wheels in Drake's mind started turning: The way Perez reacted when she saw Riley with Liam; how she had been behaving the last month. She had definitely been keeping him at arm's length. Since Liam’s announcement two months ago, Perez hardly wanted to be bothered.

He found himself at Liam’s door. Drake knew Liam got up around 5am, but no answer. He was still standing in front of the door when the maid arrived to do her morning cleaning.

"Good morning Estelle?" "Is Li having a meeting this morning?”

"I'm not sure, Mr. Walker. His Majesty did not stay here last night; I came earlier and his bed was not slept in.I just went to get a few things; since His Majesty is not here, we will deep clean his quarters.”

"Oh okay, I'll let you get to it."

It didn't make sense, Liam not in his suite.

Riley was with me, that's the only woman he's showed any interest in.

Perez had disappeared.

Max said her car was still here. She said she took Liam asked someone to take her home after what happened earlier

That explanation came through in a text that she had sent Drake after he texted her about her car. He got to his room, and crashed down on the bed, for a few minutes before taking off his clothes. He fell asleep, forgetting to shower.

Iit was now 5:30.

Riley on the other hand, couldn't sleep. All she could think about was who Liam was with.She also thought how nice it would have been if the kiss she laid on Drake had been returned. She thought of how good Drake must be in bed.

He was so fine. She could see his ripped chest through his shirt he wore.

Riley got up and made her way to east hall; this time when she got to the room, she was in luck. That was most definitely Liam leaving the room. But, she wasn't prepared for what she saw next.

Stunned and in shock, Riley stood with her mouth open in disbelief.

Aliania came to the door with a very revealing nighty on; there was no mistaking that they were indeed involved with each other.

Author's note: hello everyone I would like to ask what Riley's next move should be?

Confront Liam or Aliania?

Confront both?

Go to Drake?

If you don't like any of those ideas please, tell me your opinion of what Riley should do next you can inbox me or leave a comment.

Chapter 7: We’re Ready for Anything

Chapter Summary: Liam and Riley find out more about their twins and Lena is captured by Interpol.

Music and Title Inspiration: Ready for Anything, Landon Austin

A/N1: My submission for @choicesflashfics Week #32, Prompt #2 - “Sometimes memories can be the worst form of torture.”

A/N2: My submission for May Choices Monthly Challenge @choiceschallenge-may2023 @jerzwriter @maychallenge prompts - Mother’s Day, holding hands/ crying /caress

King’s Study, Cordonian Palace

It was late into the evening as Liam opened the financial report for Portavira on his computer. Taking note that Duke Ebrim was requesting a sizeable amount of emergency funds for the coastal region in the form of stipends.

Opening his e-mail to respond, a knock on his study door got his attention.

“Come.” Liam called out and continued typing, not taking his focus off the screen.

“Hey, Li. Am I interrupting?” Drake asked hesitantly.

Without looking up, Liam answered, “Drake, hey...what brings you here tonight?”

“Well, I need your advice on something.”

Closing his laptop, Liam stood up and walked to his bar cart, picking up two glasses and a bottle of Macallan.

Liam chuckled, “Why do I think this has something to do with a certain blond in your life?”

“Yeah, well...”

Pouring two glasses of scotch, Liam slid one to Drake and sat back down, taking a sip.

“Delaney wants to visit her parents in Austin....and she wants me to go with her.”

Drake exhaled a breath and Liam grinned.

“So, what’s the problem, Drake? Nervous about meeting your future in-laws?”

Drake shot his friend a look, and Liam roared in laughter.

“Seriously, Drake? This is not a problem, buddy!”

“Yeah, well...the thing is, her parents are pressuring her to move back home to the States. Laney is seriously considering it.”

Shaking his head, “Laney wants me to move back with her.”

Liam looked at his friend, noting the conflict in his expression.

“I don’t want to lose her, Li. I also don’t want to leave Cordonia.”

Queen’s Study, Monterissian Palace

“Geoffrey, do you have the video footage of the arrest from last night taken outside the palace?”

Amalas spoke to her guard through the speakerphone on her desk.

“Not at this time, your majesty. Interpol has not uploaded the file yet to our systems.”

“Wait a second. Pause and rewind...what did you just say?” Leo asked incredulously.

“Your majesty?” Geoffrey asked questionably.

“Leo, its protocol that the Interpol inspectors have access to all palace systems ahead of my Royal guard.” Amalas answered.

“Access, yes, but to commandeer all viewing?” Leo challenged.

“Thank you, Geoffrey, that will be all at this time.” Amalas tapped the app closed and spun around her chair, glaring at Leo.

“What the hell, Ams? You are taking orders from some ‘suit’ in Lyon, France? ….Why?”

“First of all, I don’t care for your tone. Do. Not. Speak. To. Me. Like I don’t run this country! Especially in front of my people.” Amalas countered angrily.

Leo sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. It was a challenge for the former Crown Prince to remember not to interject his personal opinions into conversations with the Monterissian Royal guard.

Amalas is the Queen, and he was overstepping.

“Secondly, I appreciate the expertise and assistance of Interpol.”

Leo sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. “I am surprised, to say the least. The ‘Spy Queen’ needing help in her own country.”

“And thirdly,” Amalas stood and frowned at Leo. “I am respecting the King of Cordonia’s request for a united front to uncover the truth behind the duplicity of the Royal guard in our countries.”

“Leo, we need to ‘cut the head off’ of this faction. There is someone or something controlling and directing operatives, like Bastien in Cordonia, that has infiltrated our highest security levels in the Royal guard of our countries.”

“Case in point: how a known fugitive can gain access to my private chambers, can pass through my security protocols. Allowed access to the Crown Princess of visiting monarchs, no less.”

“I get it Ams, I really do. ….and I am truly sorry.” Leo sighed and shook his head.

Amalas stood and walked over to Leo. Taking his face in her hands, she kissed his lips sweetly and touched her forehead to his.

Clearing his throat, Geoffrey stood outside the open door and waited to make his presence known.

“Your majesty.”

Amalas turned to look at her head guard. “Yes, Geoffrey?”

“Interpol has successfully captured and detained the security breach.”

Cordonian Palace

It was shortly after 1 am when Liam returned to the south wing of the palace. Loosening his tie, he nodded at Mara as she stood guard outside of Eleanor’s chambers and continued to walk to his personal chamber he shared with Riley.

After preparing for bed, he opened the veranda door and stepped out into the cool night air. Looking out over the gardens, he took a deep breath and smiled. Tomorrow, he and Riley would find out the sex of their twin babies. He grinned thinking about all the possibilities, but if he was being truly honest with himself, he favored having a son. Or...he chuckled, maybe another Ellie.

Shaking his head, he decided to turn in for the night to get some sleep considering the day would bring much excitement for him and his family.

Approaching his side of the king-sized bed, he noticed that Riley’s side of the bed was slept in, but Riley was not in bed.

Liam went to his closet and slid on a pair of sweatpants. After stepping into the hallway, he returned down the hall towards Ellie’s chambers. He quietly opened her bedroom door and entered the darkened room. Beside her canopy bed, the single night light glowed, and he saw his daughter's outline. Wrapped snugly and securely in her mother’s arms, she was fast asleep along with Riley.

As he placed a soft kiss on Ellie’s forehead, Riley awoke and smiled. “Hi”, Riley whispered and touched his hand. After carefully detaching her arms from her daughter, she rose from bed to join her husband in their bedroom.

Liam closed the door behind him, after following Riley.

Joining his wife under the silk sheets, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him.

“That’s better,” nuzzling her neck.

Smiling, Riley ran her fingers through his soft hair. “Working late tonight?”

“Yes, and no... Drake came to see me tonight.”

“Oh really, and here I thought you were avoiding me,” Riley smirked.

“Never!” Liam playfully teased.

“So, what was so important for Drake to pay such a late visit?"

“AHHHH, well...he wanted my advice. Drake is debating whether he should a, stay in Cordonia; or b, move to Delaney's home in Texas. And c, where he should go with his relationship with Delaney.”

Riley looked at her husband, “I know what you said.”

“I know you do, love,” kissing Riley’s nose.

“Home is where your love of your life is. I asked him what his true feelings were for Delaney. Once he can honestly answer that question, he will have his answer.”

Monterrisian Palace

The temperature in the Monterrisian palace holding cell area was at least 10 degrees cooler in the lower-level security offices. Amalas and Leo followed the Interpol officers and were shown to the viewing privacy window. Amalas was accustomed to the temperature change, but Leo had shivers go down his spine; from the temperature change, or nerves, or both.

On the other side of that window, Lena Rys was sitting in a chair alongside a female Royal guard. On the other side of the table sat Alex Cossoy and Olivia Nevrakis.

Amalas listened intently to the questioning, while Leo stared at the blond woman. Shock, mixed with disbelief left him speechless.

“What is your end game?” Olivia asked impatiently

“My end game is to take my place in the Rys family,” Lena coolly answered.

Olivia eyed Lena in disdain.

“My mother told me that my father wanted to hide me from my half-brother. That the ‘Cordonian royal family can’t find out who I really am... for my sake’.”

“’That’s horrible’,” Olivia sighed.

“’I didn’t want to believe those things about my family, but my mother had never lied to me’.”

"Your mother?"

"Yes, Sigrid took care of me in place of my true mother."

“You were brainwashed, she was obviously lying to you!” Olivia seethed.

“’I saw what Cordonia’s royal family really thinks of me when King Constantine came to Vallenheim for a diplomatic visit’.”

“’King Constantine told my mother that he wanted no part in foreign influences on Cordonia. He said that Queen Eleanor is gone. Which is why he wanted nothing to do with me. That Eleanor was her friend, but that association ended when Eleanor died. He does not owe us anything’.”

“My mother wanted me to meet my brothers, but Constantine said ‘he won’t be guilted with a child.’

I remember that my mother begged Constantine to meet me, and Constantine said no. 'My sons and I want nothing to do with me, my mother, Vallenheim, or any of our people!’”

My mother told me, 'This is exactly why Queen Eleanor wanted me kept away from Cordonia.’"

Lena’s eyes 'welled with tears that are equal parts anger and sadness.'

“In that moment, I knew everything my mother had said about my father and brothers was true.”

“Sometimes memories can be the worst form of torture.”

Olivia stood up and paced the floor. Stopping directly in front of Lena,

“’Liam didn’t even know about you. Your brother is a better man than your father was.’”

“’I always resented Leo and Liam for having the life I could’ve had in Cordonia. I’ll even admit to envying Liam’s throne.’”

“’He’s a lot more than you were told. You might even like him if you gave him half a chance.’”

Lena’s features hardened, “’I think that ship sailed a while ago.’”

Dr Rameriz’s office, Cordonia

Looking at her reflection in the changing room, Riley placed her hands on her tummy. Her belly had grown so quickly this time around. Her morning sickness was now gone, and she felt more energized.

Slipping on the hospital gowni and robe, she opened the door to be greeted by the nurse.

“Your majesty”, the nurse curtsied and opened the door to the examination room.

Liam quickly stood offering his wife his hand.

“Are you ready for this, my love?”

“Oh Yes, Liam! Let’s do this!

Chuckling, he helped Riley get comfortable on the exam table, as the nurse placed a heated thermal blanket over top. Grasping his hand, she laid back and relaxed against the pillow.

Dr. Ramirez greeted the monarchs with a warm smile.

“Okay, today we are going to find out which sexes these little ones are.”

“Most definitely,” Liam smiled, squeezing Riley’s hand as she also smiled.

The doctor placed the doppler wand and the sound of heartbeats immediately could be heard.

“I will never tire from hearing those sounds.” Liam watched the monitor as the babies appeared.

Riley let out a breath and started to tear, squeezing Liam’s hand even more.

“So, what do you think, love?” Liam asked.

Riley grinned, “It’s a boy.”

The doctor nodded, “incredibly good instincts. Your majesties, you have a son.”

Liam beamed with joy and kissed his wife.

“...and baby number two?”

“A boy,” Riley answered.

The doctor shook her head smiling.

‘Your wife’s instincts are quite correct. Your children are both boys.”

Liam let out a breath.

Riley, now crying, was overcome with emotion.

“Riley, love,” Liam whispered, raising her hand, and softly kissed her palm.

“Yeah?”

“You did it again.”

Riley looked up at Liam with a question in her eyes.

Caressing her swollen tummy, “You made another dream come true for me. I love you so, so much.”

Riley, full of emotion, answered back, “as do I.”

Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her lips and said, “let’s go home.”

Liam and Riley walked slowly out of the hospital, holding hands, both smiling as they approached the waiting SUV.

“We should spend the weekend in Valtoria.’ Liam smiled.

“I would love that, and I know that Ellie will be ecstatic to go to the festival in town.”

Liam grinned as he followed Riley into the SUV.

Not mentioning that he and Ellie have a special Mother’s Day celebration planned at the estate already for her.

Song Inspiration: Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis

***This is the last chapter of Book 2, but God help me, I'm writing book 3 now! It may take a while, as I’m also trying to wrap up a couple other series I’m also working on, but it’s in progress. At this rate I’ll be writing Max and Harley until the end of time! Lol

The next book will be a little different as it will show Drake and Liam and their struggle, Max and Harley will have some new complications arise, and I’ll also be exploring more of the darker things that have happened leading up to, and after The Homecoming Ball. But Maxwell and Harley will still be the main focus.Thanks to everyone who likes, comments, and reblogs my story. It makes me want to keep writing, when I know I’m not the only one who enjoys it! ❤️

Chapter 10 - I’m Gonna Love You Forever

During their time at the ranch, the seven friends felt as if they were finally able to relax. They played with baby animals, rode horses, and swam in the lake. Hana was even enjoying a fling with a girl she met at the bar.

One morning as Maxwell watched Harley and Bumble sneak out to play with the newborn calves, an idea struck him. He ran down to the kitchen where everyone was helping prepare breakfast.

“I'm gonna do it!” Max yelled, and everyone turned to look at him curiously.

Bertrand gasped, “When?!”

“Tonight! I have a plan, but I need everyone's help.”

Drake finished loading up his plate and sat at the table. “It would help if we actually knew what you were talking about.”

Maxwell looked around carefully to make sure Harley was still outside, “I'm gonna.. propose to her.”

Hana screamed and Liam smiled broadly, “That's great Maxwell.”

Bianca clapped him on the back. “Aww, honey! I could tell you had something on your mind since you got here!”

Hana finally managed to regain her composure, “Oh my god! That's so exciting! What can we do!?”

Maxwell shimmied back and forth nervously. Drake laughed, “Beaumont, are you stress dancing over this? You know how she feels about you.”

“I'm freaking out! What if I mess this up?! What if she says no?!” Maxwell’s breathing became erratic and he began pacing back and forth through the kitchen.

Hana grabbed his shoulders, “Maxwell, relax!” She grinned conspiratorially, “She's going to say yes.”

His eyes widened. “But, how do you know?!”

She looked at him and chuckled; he wasn't getting it. “I'm not saying anything else.. what's your plan?”

___________________________________________

After breakfast, Bianca found Harley in the barn cuddling with one of the calves. “Hey sugar, can you help me with something?”

Harley, Savannah, and Bianca went into town to go grocery shopping. Harley was trying not to show her boredom as Bianca spent hours looking down each aisle at almost every product.

Savannah nudged her arm, “Harley why don't we go sit down at the Starbucks while mum finishes her shopping.” Bianca winked at Savannah while they walked away.

Once they ordered and sat down, Harley blew out an exhausted breath, “Your mom sure likes to shop, huh?”

Savannah giggled, “Um, yep!”

They sipped their coffee in contended silence. “So Harley.. There's actually something I've been meaning to talk to you about.”

“What's up?”

Savannah looked down shyly, “Do you think Bertrand’s happy being with me? He says he is, but do you think he's actually happy?”

Harley smiled, “Savannah, I have seen a completely different Bertrand since you and Bartie came into his life. I know I've only known him for a little more than a year, but he's definitely happy. You and Bartie make him a better person, and he knows it.”

Savannah blushed, hiding a smile behind her coffee cup. “Thanks. I sometimes worry about not being good enough. You know, not being noble or anything..”

Harley sighed, “I get that. I'm a nobody from New York, but somehow Max still wants to be with me. I think when you really love someone, nothing else matters.”

Savannah smiled, “You're absolutely right.”

By the time they returned to the Walker Ranch, the sun was beginning to set. Harley had barely heard from Max all day. The last text he sent her said they were all doing chores. She giggled as she imagined Bertrand mucking out the stables.

Bianca shooed Harley up the stairs. “Now you go on up and get changed for dinner!”

Harley looked down at the jeans and t-shirt she was wearing, “Oh, are we doing something formal tonight?”

“I forgot to tell you, we’re all dressing up and eating dinner outside tonight!” Bianca smiled at her as Harley headed upstairs. “Now go get all prettied up!”

Harley noticed that nobody was around when she got upstairs, but figured everyone must already be outside for dinner. She touched up her makeup and changed into the red lace dress that Hana made for her. She spritzed on her favorite perfume and headed downstairs.

When she entered the living room, she looked around, “Helloooo?” No answer. She made her way outside onto the grandiose back patio and looked around. Are they messing with me?

Harley noticed lights coming from the barn and slowly made her way over. She cracked open the large, wooden door and peeked in. The inside had been transformed with flowers and fairy lights strung around the room. All the animals were gone. She stepped inside curiously and looked around. In the center of the room she saw a small table with a bouquet of red tulips. She smiled brightly. Aww, Maxwell.

As she reached out and gently touched the tulips, a song she recognized began playing softly- “Forever and Ever, Amen.” She whirled around as she heard someone enter the barn behind her. Maxwell was dressed in the navy blue tux that she loved so much. She bit her lip and smiled as he held out his hand to dance with her.

“What are you up to?” She beamed at him as they danced together in the empty barn.

He looked down shyly and smiled, but didn't say a word. Harley lay her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes as they danced together.

Maxwell's heart was pounding in his chest. He had checked a hundred times, but was still worried that the ring wasn't in his pocket. It's there, chill out! Breathe! Calm down! He looked down at Harley laying her head against him. She looked beautiful.

The song played: “..As sure as I live,

this love that I give,

is gonna be yours until the day that I die..”

He closed his eyes and sighed happily, enjoying the familiar feeling of her body against his. He breathed in the scent of her hair and perfume that both excited and comforted him each time he was near her. He kissed the top of her head.

“..If you wonder how long I'll be faithful,

I'll be happy to tell you again.

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever amen.”

Maxwell lifted his arm and spun her and she giggled.

“.. they say time can play tricks on the memory,

make people forget things they knew.

It's easy to see, it's happening to me..”

Max sang the next part aloud as he dipped her: “..I've already forgotten every woman but you!”

Harley giggled, “so smooth!”

He held her tightly again and his stomach filled with butterflies as he realized the song was coming to a close. He heard Harley’s sweet voice sing along,

“..I’m gonna love you, forever and ever,

Forever and ever, forever and ever,

Forever and ever, amen..”

She pulled back and smiled, “This was so sweet Max.”

He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and reached into his pocket. Thank God it's still there. His heart was pounding as he took her hand and after another deep breath, dropped down to one knee. Harley's eyes widened and she gasped, as her other hand flew over her mouth.

Maxwell cleared his throat, “Harley Hughes.. I..” Deep breath. “I love you more than anything in the world. You saw the real me when nobody else did.. Or wanted to. You're so kind, and thoughtful, and beautiful, and every day that I realize that you still love me, makes me the happiest man in the world. I..” He started to choke up. Don't cry, dammit! “I.. can't imagine a day where I wake up and you're not next to me. I promise to never stop trying to show you that you are the most important person in my life. Harley.. Will you marry me?”

Harley’s heart was so full that she thought she might burst. The man she loved more than anything in the world was down on one knee giving his heart to her. Her stomach was full of butterflies as she looked at his handsome, honest face. She felt tears fall from her eyes.

She smiled brightly, “yes.”

Maxwell looked stunned and grinned at her incredulously, “Really? Thank you!”

She couldn’t help but laugh and Max jumped up, pulling her into a tight hug. She squealed as he spun her around.

“Oh wait! I forgot!” Max took her hand and slid the engagement ring onto her finger.

“Oh my god, Max..”

“Is it.. Ok?”

She tilted her hand side to side, admiring the most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever seen. The dim fairy lights caught the red stone just right, causing it to glimmer like firelight. “It's gorgeous!”

“It.. was my mothers. She wore it every day. It actually was my great grandmother's engagement ring.”

Harley gasped, feeling more tears fall from her eyes. “Wow.. I’m so honored.”

Maxwell leaned down and kissed her, sighing happily. “I love you Harley Hughes.”

“I love you too, Maxwell Beaumont.”

Maxwell laughed and spun her around again, “I can't believe we're engaged!”

“I know! You're my fiance!”

“Holy shit! And you're my fiance!”

“AHH!”

They both laughed gleefully, grasping each other’s hands. “So what do we do now?” Harley asked with a smile.

“Now, I send a text to the six people who have been waiting anxiously to see if I managed to go through with it, or if i spontaneously combusted from nerves!’’

Their friends ran out to congratulate them and brought out the dinner they had prepared for the two of them.

Later that night, Harley and Maxwell planned to celebrate their engagement together in their room. Harley sent Hana a quick text while Max was in the shower:

‘Better put your headphones on tonight Hana! It’s gonna be LOUD if you know what I mean!”

Hana- ‘Ok, I'll let everyone know!’

Harley covered her face and chuckled, “oh god, Hana no!”

“What's wrong?” Max walked up and kissed her neck from behind. His skin was still damp and warm from the shower, and he was only wearing a towel around his waist.

Harley tossed her phone on the chair, spinning around to face him. “The only thing that's wrong is that my sexy fiance isn’t on top of me right now!”

Harley yanked the towel from around his waist, and squealed as he threw her on the bed.

“I'm gonna ravish you tonight, darling!” Maxwell chuckled as he kissed her neck, his warm breath sending goosebumps all the way down to her toes.

Harley's laughs soon dissolved into moans as he made his way down her chest. “Mmm.. Max, you're so good with your mouth.”

He nipped at the soft skin on her hip as he made his way down her body, “Is that all I'm good with?”

She gasped, “No.. you're good with your hands too..”

He kissed his way across her hips, slowly making his way downward. “Is that all?”

She moaned as he got closer and closer to where she needed him. “No.. oh God.”

“Say it..”

She reached down and wrapped her fingers around his length, gripping him tightly, “You're good with this big cock too.”

Max shivered, “Fuck.. I love hearing you talk like that.”

They spent the next hour pleasuring each other as they fell closer and closer to the edge of ecstasy. Maxwell climbed on top of her and she wrapped her legs tightly around him, crying out as her second orgasm of the night left her body trembling. Max shuddered as he released himself into her. They both tried to catch their breath as sweat dripped down their sated bodies.

Harley panted, “Damn.. Engaged sex is even better than dating sex!”

Maxwell smirked as he wiped the sweat from his brow, “Just wait until married sex.”

Once they showered and got ready for bed, they snuggled up next to each other under the covers. Maxwell put his arm around her and Harley laid against his bare chest on his hippo tattoo. She admired the engagement ring that he had given her that night.

“Whatcha thinking about?” Max stroked her hair softly and kissed her head.

She smiled up at him and pecked him on the lips. “Just you.”

“Anything specific, or just my general awesomeness?”

She chuckled, “Well, now that we're engaged, you know what comes next.”

“Engagement party? Oh my god, we're gonna have the biggest Beaumont bash ever to celebrate!”

“Well yes, that, but-”

He chuckled as he hugged her tighter against him, “I know baby. We get to start planning our wedding.”

Harley sighed happily, “Max?”

“Yes, future Mrs. Beaumont?”

“I can wait to be married to you.”

Maxwell's heart swelled, “Samesies.”
