KENNEDY
It was a family dinner.
Again, I didn’t know what I was doing here. I pinched myself under the table for the second time. The fact that I was sitting across the future king, I felt like I was in another universe.
They looked regal.
The apparent Prince was in his formal suit. The graying hair was scattered across his head.
Thayer got his eyes from his father—fierce, deep, and expressive. And also his height—Prince Isodore was so tall and medium built. The rest of his son’s features came from Princess Aimrose.
Carlott sat beside her carbon copy—her mother. From the color of her hair to the shape of her face.
“Is my son treating you well, Kennedy? I hope you don’t mind if I call you Kennedy.”
My gaze flew back to him. I smile timidly, even if I wanted to blurt out how his son kidnapped, teased me, and then treated me like his precious gemstone when he was in his
THAYER“She’s been with Father for thirty minutes now.” I checked the time.“You’re over-reacting. It’s only been fifteen. And it’s not that Daddy would harm Kennedy. But that speech, huh? If you could only see your reaction, brother.” Carlott sighed. “You two are wasting time. Why not make it up, make out, and make babies? I’d love to take care of my nieces and nephews.” She placed down her drinks on the table. “You two would be a great and powerful couple together.”“Stop teasing your brother, Carlott. Leave it to them to settle their differences. I do not doubt Kennedy. Your brother would be in good hands.”“Oh, please, when you two are talking as if I’m not here.” I walked away. “I have to check her.”“You’re no fun!” Carlott yelled behind me.I wondered why my father summoned Kennedy and
THAYER Thayer was so good with people. He was natural, kind, and sensible. He never ceased to amaze me. When I agreed to marry him, I wasn’t exactly thinking straight about the consequences. All I wanted was to help him secure his birthright. Again, I was selfish. Maybe because I would do anything for the people I cared about even if, in the end, I’d be giving something—my life, my freedom, and my heart. I put on something sexy. I didn’t know what Carlott was thinking, sending me lingeries when her brother filled the closets with complete wardrobes. I sighed deeply one more time before I walked out of the door. I’d been planning since this morning after how he allowed me to walk in the seaside yesterday. The least I could do was to give him something in return. I also did this for myself because since he teased me in the study, I’d been aching for him. I wanted to come, and he just took my toy. He wa
THAYER “Darling?” She just bumped into me and seemed in such urgency. “Are you okay?” “Am I okay? Do you really care?” She glared at me, those blue eyes darkening. “Of course, I do.” My brows met in confusion. Why would she think that I didn’t care? Then a warning siren alarmed my head. Shit!I told my sister that was a bad idea, but it seemed to work. Only Kennedy hated me beyond measurable. “Get off of me.” She jerked out of my arms. “Asshole.” “You should not get used to cursing on me, Kennedy. Especially in public.” She shook her head, blinking. “Do you know that your—” She abruptly stopped. “Do I know what?” “Never mind. Why are you here?” She crossed her arms over her chest. I didn’t usually hold back what I wanted. I went after it, but with her, I learned to practice my patients, even celibacy. When I looked at her chest, those swells t
KENNEDY I missed him. Thayer had been avoiding me for three days. I thought I deserved that. God, I loved this man, but because of his poor choice, I was punishing him, when in the end, I was suffering. This guy had been working hard since he was young, doing his duties to his people while I was acting like a complete bitch. Yeah, he made mistakes. People made mistakes, so did I. I wasn’t perfect. So why not be civil and treat him with the respect that he deserved. I’d also come to realize that I could do my job everywhere in the world. I’d be a chance—an opportunity most people wouldn’t get to— to help people, and I was taking it for granted. My service may not be direct to my people, but knowing that I could help the less fortunate, would be a fulfillment. When Princess Carlott asked me if I could join her in visiting the feeding program for less fortunate kids in the rural area, witho
THAYER Fuck. My cock was harder than a rock. I felt it might break as it strained in my pants. I wanted to thrust into her ass while her inner walls clamped around my fingers, her juice dripping down my hand. Then my mouth sucked that nipple poking against the thin fabric of her dress. Her soft whimper echoed as she danced into the rhythm of the thrust of my cock on her ass, fingers in her slick pussy as she came around me. Then her body invigorated in satiety. I wanted her—always had been like I never wanted anyone in my life. She was my addiction and my salvation. I hadn’t kissed her yet, but my hard-on was going to break, and I was going to come in seconds if she wouldn’t stop grinding her sweet ass into me. She’s a seductress and a fucking tease. Then the torture she’d been doing had been to test me if I fucked those stage actresses Carlott hired because I swore to her. W
KENNEDY He’s hard. I didn’t have to touch to know. Thayer’s actions, his voice, and those green eyes spoke for himself. And I was wet—dripping. I had been aching for him since I ground my ass to his huge cock. His indestructible patience and self-control started to annoy me. “Fuck.” He chugged down half empty of water before he cupped my face, stared at me for a few seconds. I thought he might want to say something. He then dropped his blazing gaze down to my lips. Voluntarily, my lips parted, my skin already tingling. My nipples were no strangers to man’s lip, yet, they ached to his touch and his mouth. My body thrummed in anticipation. “Kiss me.” I gasped. My voice rasped. My chest heaved. He crashed his mouth into mine. Yes!I could hear the orchestra playing in the background. My inner self celebrated in delight. God. I met his
THAYER “I don’t know you can fly a chopper.” Kennedy laughed at her words, sitting beside me. The two idiots settled at the back. The weather was sunny. The sky was clear. At this time of year, Guardion was an ideal place for sailing. “Why did you laugh?” “You’re a royal pilot, to be precise.” “Yeah.Royal Air Force.” “I shouldn’t be surprised.” I turned on my comm. “Kingsbyrie Tower, this is Guardion 583 Alpha ready for departure, inbound West.” Tower replied immediately, “Guardion 583, this is Kingbyrie Tower, your good to go.” “Over and out.” I closed my comm. The take-off took smoothly. “You don’t have fly anxiety.” “Not really, but I never tried a chopper.” She seemed unsure, biting her bottom lip. “We’ll try skydiving next time.” “What?” She looked at me as if I just lost my mind. “No thanks. Hard pass.” “Said a woman who plan
KENNEDY He’s awesome. He could be as committed as Prince Thayer in front of his people and could be as the free-spirited ordinary man beside me right now. He was flexible—from a man who had a huge responsibility to a thoughtful friend to Lud and Ash. I’d been watching him in awe. Everything he did made me admire him even more, and without a doubt, it had nothing to do with how I was madly in love with him that I couldn’t see and think straight. Right now, he was the most adorable and my favorite person on earth. He was shaking in amusement as he watched his friends, yeah, his friends—those guys down the water who would take a bullet for him, not because they got paid hefty of money to protect him, but the genuine care for him as his friends. “Are your balls freezing already?” he yelled from the top of the deck. “The water isn’t cold, candy ass! Come on and jump already!” Lud had been convinc
