This…

“Uh!” I had wanted to shout or say something else, but my lips were captured…

As much as Jorne wanted to put all the blame on this woman for having come this far, he couldn’t…

There had just been no way he was able to hold back when she had continued to touch him and accept his advances!

There was only one thing left now and Jorne waited patiently as he continued to move a thumb and take a certain woman’s lips with complete determination!

There was no going back, only forward!

Jorne was thanking his lucky stars that Oliver had accepted so much, even forgetting now of the place they were in, or the bed that they were on…Nothing was more important right now to make this woman completely his!

I dug my nails into his back and held tightly to him with my legs and felt like time stopped for a moment.

By the time that my lips were free once again, I hissed but found that I couldn’t just shake him off…

With his thumb on a special place, his…On another special place, his lips kissing my neck and a never before thing happening to me…I didn’t shake him off…

I felt hot and wanted to whimper.

“Oliver…”

That seemed all I needed to plunge my mouth onto his and try to do as he did to me.

And as I tried to do that, another thing started to happen, and it made me make all these strange, little noises!

…I know…Deep down…Even though this was surprising, deep down I felt like I was finally accepted completely by this man.

Perhaps…Perhaps I had felt a bit down about not preforming my wifely duties after all…

***

Finally, I wasn’t breathing so heavily anymore but I was sweating like crazy.

Till now, I had been caught up in the feeling and who was here…Now…Now I was finally thinking again.

This was it, wasn’t it. That husband and wife thing.

What a naughty boy, we weren’t even married anymore!

Hitting him on the shoulder, I pouted.

“What was that for, love?”

Uh?

Staring at him in bewilderment, I lost my voice.

He was still…On top of me and all around me…Everywhere!

His arms were holding me tight, and even though I was sweating, and he was hot, I didn’t bother to pushing him away. No…I think, what took most of my attention at the moment was how…Wet I felt…

Having my period was not even like this…

It was weird and I felt strange.

I was also a little uncomfortable, as I was sure that I would feel pain if I moved too much or…Something…

Actually, I was trying to figure it out, but I was still in a dream or something.

Was it always like this?

Feeling kisses now on my sweaty face, and a drop of his sweat fall onto my head, I looked back at him…

Then, I just got lost some more into his smile.

Then his manly chuckle…Then to his lips on my forehead once again.

Should I be doing something to him too then? Like kissing his face or something?

I was…Really too inexperienced!

I had never been told how I should act!

“I’m sorry that this was done here…I had wanted it to be better…”

Frowning, I wondered what he was talking about. I suppose, my brain was still cut up into several pieces, still having trouble putting itself back together!

Watching him shake his head slightly, I felt his hand caressing my face.

“Do you have any idea how much and how long I’ve wanted to do this for?”

I shook my head, still in an unbelievable state that it really had come this far!

Before tonight we had kissed, yes, and stared…We stared and glared and…

Feeling him push me into him, making me let out a surprised sound, I heard him groan. “Oliver, I’ve wanted you for so long. I just feel bad that now that we’ve finally consummated our marriage, we did it here…In this small…Room.”

All I could think of, was hitting him, because that’s what I did when I had thought of something similar…Or was it similar? I can’t remember…Maybe I’m tired?

I heard him chuckle then and bend down to my chest and I curled my toes to what he started to do there.

Gasping, I closed my eyes and laid back, holding my hands tightly onto his shoulders.

Feeling him move on top of me, I felt my eyes roll back into my head!

My god!

Again, kisses streamed down onto my body, making me feel all mushy and I couldn’t help but cling to the man above me…

…It wasn’t for quite some time later, that there was finally silence in the small, cramped room…

Of course, I was completely exhausted and fainted into a dead sleep…

And Jorne held a woman in his arms, feeling like he had lighter shoulders…

***

Frowning to a bit of discomfort, I turned over, to hit something in my face.

Opening my eyes slightly, I see…Something that looked familiar.

Then, my hand was taken and placed over that familiar object.

“Sleep some more, love.”

Seeing a whole new view, I looked up, to see the man that I…

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Blushing, I looked away, hiding my head.

Hearing him chuckle, I squeezed my eyes shut.

There didn’t seem to be any boundaries anymore, his hands held onto me firmly, leaving me nowhere to run!

A groan was sounded, and I felt like I did something wrong.

Flinching back, I was then looking at eyes that were fixed onto mine.

“Such a naughty girl you are!”

Letting out a sudden noise, to being moved to be under him, I was then kissed.

He put my hands around his neck, then I felt his hands go down my arm, to my chest and…

Moaning into the kiss, that I wasn’t paying all that attention too, I felt even more, lower down my body and couldn’t help but suddenly stop again.

Really…It felt like I had been sleeping for two minutes!

It was still dark outside!

Why…Oh!

“Oliver…”

How on earth does that thing down there work!?

Is this what every wife has to endure after they marry?

Hearing a moan that came out of my own mouth, I closed my eyes and held tightly…

Wasn’t this a good thing?

Doesn’t this mean that the man wants me?

…He wants me…

With such a satisfaction rising within me, I felt great!

Wanting to make this man continue to want me, I wondered what I should do.

Should I kiss his neck?

Touch here?

What if I moved my hips like this?

Oh…Look at him…He gets all fired up when I do all three of them!

His face looked similar to when I would win fights against him!

It was like he was putty in my hands and to my satisfaction, I really liked doing this!

It was different to last time but and before I knew it, I was being taken for another ride by a certain man…Or was it that he was getting taken for a ride by me?

I couldn’t believe it!

For the second time in probably just a few hours, I was being wiped down…

I was so tired…I was even a bit sore…

It wasn’t fair!

Hearing a sigh, I looked up drowsily and saw a worried face.

He looked…

Dammit…I didn’t like it when he looked like he had made a mistake and…

“It’s ok.” I said, not knowing why I wanted him to smile instead of showing this face, “I’m just tired and…Feel weird.”

I watched as he slowly showed another look, which was better than the last, then he said, “Is your body alright?”

I nodded. It wasn’t painful, it was uncomfortable…

Moving myself from side to side, I made a face…Yeah, I felt weird alright!

Seeing him in my eyesight now, as he had knelt down, I found myself moving into his embrace.

He lightly kissed me…So gently that I could barely feel his lips.

Leaning slightly forward, I deepened the kiss, even though I wasn’t very good at it and found his arms around me.

“Come back with me, Love. Mmm? Please?”

Scratching my head, I tried to make sense of his words and then looked at him, “I’m the Second Prince’s maid now.”

Seeing him rub himself into me, I couldn’t help but smile and think of puppies.

I put my hand through his hair and looked at him when he pulled back, “I’ll change it back!”

Change what back?

Oh…

“No, I like it here.” I simply stated.

I hadn’t gotten into trouble yet…

Suddenly, the thought of my plan seemed terribly wrong.

Seeing my hand happily gently combing Jorne’s hair, I fell into a little bit of a faze.

“Please…”

A begging voice brought me back and I saw Jorne also showing me a face that was also begging.

I almost was ready to say, ‘ok.’

And it wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with him…Because…I liked being with him…

It was just…I…

I stayed silent, because the pros and cons of my father and of Jorne was not as clear as it was before.

Why had it suddenly changed so drastically?

Picturing what had happened on this night, I remembered Jorne’s affections and his eyes…His actions…

He had shown me that I was indeed someone that he wanted to be with…

Yet…My father was also someone that was special, and I really wanted to know what was going on, it just suddenly wasn’t as important anymore!

What to do?

Feeling a kiss on the forehead, I watched as Jorne got up and picked up his clothes.

Silently, he passed me his clothes and stared at me.

Right…As a wife…

Without a fight whatsoever, I sorted out his clothes and helped him into them. At first my legs were a little shaky, but I was determined to do this!

It really was very nice, how he stared at only me, touched my waist in a way of guiding but unable to stay away…It was like a romance novel!

Upon finishing, I was then kissed and pushed against him, but it hadn’t lasted long.

“I will see you tonight!” He stated, before going out the window…

Tonight?

He might have already been out of my sight but…I blushed…I could feel the heat in my cheeks so badly that I needed to put cold water over them a few times!

***

My plan to make ‘plans’ real, came to a dead stop after these turns of events.

I was, after all, now someone’s woman.

I suppose I was before but now…Now I was embraced.

With a strange smile on my face, I still couldn’t believe that I had gone this far with Jorne.

I knew I had liked him and all, but I never thought he had liked me to this extent! I mean, we fought all the time and he seemed to always have something to say that was wrong about me…

As I thought of this though, it wasn’t as I thought. Just like reading that book and not understanding it, he might have stated a rude remark to my intelligence, but he had then tried to tell me what the book meant.

To a strange sort of degree, he might have stated a few rude remarks yet…He had always then told me something else to fill in what I was missing. How to cut away a flower, I guess he knew that because of all the gardenia’s he gave me. How to eat better with the utensils I had, showing me how to hold them when cutting a particular item like meat.

So, he didn’t stop at just calling me names, he did, on several occasions, try to fix me, so that I was better than I was before.

He helped me a lot…I never realized that until now…

Does that mean that all that time, he had liked me and was just being…Normal when we fought?

Was he just a sadist or something? But…If he were a sadist, then doesn’t that make me a masochist?

I shook my head, no…I’m definitely not a masochist, definitely not!

The next night he had come to me when I was already in bed and he snuggled up to me.

He laid behind me, with his arms in front of me and I felt really special!

I liked it.

For once, we didn’t fight over something!

We still did fight though, but it wasn’t over something that meant anything.

He had asked me about my day, and we had fought over some ‘stupid’ ideas that I and his brother had come up with but…It was all still good!

He told me about his day and had even said that he had missed me!

He had asked me to come back to his side again, but I still shook my head.

I didn’t know if I was waiting for it or not…But in the middle of the night when his hands were roaming, and his lips were softly on mine…I welcomed it.

And…It was better, better than last time. Does it always get better? I had never thought this intimate stuff would be like this…Why had I held off for so long!?

He didn’t take long to know what I seemed to like, and it was like he already knew that I was in love with him or something!

I was scared yes but I was also tormented because…Well because my plan meant that I was going to be away from him.

Was I happy to continue this affair because I knew this?

Was I waiting for him to get enough of me, and then go on with my plan to leave the palace after?

What exactly was I doing?

Well, whatever I was doing, I just knew that when it came to night-time, he was always there, coming in through the window…

Last night was a bit different…

Neither of us spoke after he came through the window, but I sat up and he took me into his arms.

Did he know?

Did he know that I was waiting for him every night?

He had placed me on top of him and I felt like I was really his Queen then.

He moved me and I would move myself, seeing a completely different part of him.

Not only was he a gorgeous man, he showed that he did have something that he should have hid from me!

I became the tormentor, the one that made him look as though he would beg me at any moment!

It was funny though because I knew when he had enough and then I had experience something so fast that I felt like I had stopped breathing!

And again, upon waking this morning, I would wake to his arms around me, dress him like a wife should and be asked to come back to his side.

I didn’t think I was ready yet, to give everything up.

He told me that he will give me back my status, that I will be his equal in his residence but…

Would I ever then know what happened to my father?

Probably not…

So, I just couldn’t. While I was here, I could still get into trouble, which would lead me to a cell and potentially lead me right out of the palace.

With him…

I was losing myself.

I was wanting him, his attention, his affection, his desires…But how long was that going to last?

He was still married to another woman after all…

Yes, I was jealous…

All this time I had known that I wasn’t his only woman, but now…Now it was a problem because, I had let him in…I had given him my heart and I was scared he was going to trample on it!

While I was still with the second Prince, our…New relationship, probably was better.

It felt like it was just him and me, just us being who we were and doing what we wanted to do.

We had to be quiet, as to not let anyone know, but we did smile and fight, laugh and touch…He had even gone as far as getting someone out of the window to help change the sheets quite a few times and…

Ah…My cheeks will probably somehow break because of how much I’ve been blushing!

Smiling once again, I ate my dinner, already anticipating his return tonight.

I had a story to tell him about and…

Yeah, I really did fall hard…

I can only sigh…

But how could I not?

Jorne was the only one who knew the real me…

He knew what buttons to press, whether it was to make me mad or make me tremble.

He knew of my nature, and not forcing me around, only letting me do as I like, just like how I slowly feel in love with him.

Dammit!

I was literally…

So skittish!

I focused with eating dinner quickly and went to my room.

I went to the window and within the minute, he was right there, right in front of me…

“Jorne…”

Seeing him smile and jump through the window, I step back, still captivated.

Finding myself against the wall in the next few seconds, I wasn’t surprised.

I had missed him all day!

“Oliver…”

Dammit!

I was gone…This man took my soul, along with my heart!

…And I was introduced to yet another way…

“Love?”

I mumbled, turning over.

“Come back to me…”

I felt him cuddle me from the back an I laced my hands with his.

“Sleepy…”

“No, you’re not!” He stated, kissing me on my neck.

“Yes, I’m sleepy!” I said, really trying to sleep.

He put a hand onto my tummy and moved it slowly…

“Are you sure, my love?” He quietly said, stroking a particular part…

I quietly gasp and try not to move.

Hearing a chuckle, I open my eyes and turn to him.

In no time, he took my lips and…
