ROME
The late King was placed to rest. Still, I was having a hard time wrapping things around my head.
We just arrived at the Guardion via the fastest train from Winterbourn. It only took one hour and fifteen minutes, but it felt like twelve hours. Her details were a pain in my ass as if I was planning on kidnapping the princess.
Then she drove the pretty vintage car, her details, and my friends were tailing us in the SUVs.
“You’ve been silent throughout the ride.”
What did she want me to say? “Dating a princess comes with a lot of security details and less privacy.”
“I’m so sorry.” She looked at me and held my hand.
“Eyes on the road, princess. Why can’t you even let me drive?”
“It’s customary.”
“Customary?” I scoffed and was confused.
“You are my guest. We’re not yet married. And also, I missed this car.”
“Jesus. Are we allowed to sit at the back together?”
“Yes. No problem.”
“And I haven’t kissed you.”
Her lips spread into a smile.
“What? I can’t kiss you too?”
She rolled her eyes. “When we have our privacy.”
“When would that be? I mean, look at those SUVs. You have four bodyguards-”
“So do you.”
“They did not come here as my bodyguards. They came here to see your country-” My words cut off when she squeezed my hand, and I knew why.
Wow.” We just crossed the snowline. I was just staring outside, and snowflakes fell on the windshield. My eyes went wide as if I had just had my first snow experience.
“Welcome to Guardion, babe.”
“Thank you. That was magical.”
We rode to the old snowy bridge, and she must have felt my reaction-I stiffened.
“Relax. It’s safe. Even a tank can pass through without breaking down the bridge.”
“Whatever you say, sweetheart. I just feel like we were in the north pole.”
“You’re being dramatic.”
“It’s not every day a princess drives you around town.”
She laughed. “It’s just your Storm, Langston. When it’s just us, I leave everything behind us.”
Then the peak of the fortress came to view. It is pretty old and beautiful. I thought I was suddenly in some part of Scotland without the snowy region.
“And that’s the cabin you’re talking about? That’s a fucking fortress. Does your country have a law about cursing?”
“No. But it’s disrespectful cursing a royal.”
“I didn’t curse you. It’s the fortress.”
“I know. Just messing with you.” She was still smiling and looked so happy, her eyes sparkling. “What?”
“You look beautiful.”
“So do you, Rome.”
I sighed. I wasn’t even surprised by myself. I knew for a fact that I loved her the moment I gave a go to traveling here, even with her warning. I wanted to see her and be with her during this difficult time.
“What is it?”
“Nothing.”
She parked in front of the main door. I rushed to her side to open a door for her.
“You don’t have to do that.” She giggled as I offered my hand.
“I’m still a gentleman in your country, and I will always do that for you wherever we may be.” I fixed her coat and made sure she was covered enough.
My guys came over while her details were canvassing the area and went inside the fortress.
“This is dope,” Sax said. “And this is the cabin?”
“Nope. There is a cabin behind this. But you guys are staying here.”
“We can live with that,” Kye agreed.
“There’s a bar downtown if you wanna meet folks. Those guys are actually cool when not on duty. We’re safe here. You can tour around.”
“I’m good with that,” Linden said.
“Great. Let me talk to them.”
“How about you, lover boy?” Linden talked to me.
“You can go, guys. I can take care of her.”
“You know the drills,” Zee said.
I nodded. Carly went to talk to the head of her details, Weston.
“She’s really a princess.”
“It hasn’t sunk in yet, even if I already shook hands with the King,” I told Zee as I watched Carly order her men.
“I guess she’s just down to earth. I don’t get why people thought she was rebellious or rogue and nearly destroyed her,” Linden said.
“When you wanna make a difference, that’s what you got. But when you showed your ass and tits, that’s when you got praise. I mean, I’m not trying to be sexist or something. But nobody appreciates good work nowadays.”
I stared at Zee, stunned by his words.
“You guys are okay?” She came to us with a bright smile on her face.
“Yeah. Why?”
“You are just staring at me. What’s wrong?”
“We’re still pinching ourselves,” Sax joined us.
“Oh, shut it. Anyway, Weston will stay at the house. You guys and Seth and the other two with come with you.” Her details acknowledged us.
“Have fun, guys.”
“You, too, bro.”
I held Carly’s hand, and Zee didn’t miss it.
“Is he allowed to hold your hand?”
“Jeez. Why not? We’re not in public, Zee.”
“Okay, Princess. I’m just making sure my guy here will go home with complete fingers and toes.”
“You want a tour?” Carly shook to laugh before she took me inside. The fortress was pretty massive. It looked old outside but classic and classy inside.
“Maybe, later.”
“I was thinking the same thing. This served as the main command for King Kamrun II during the war.” We passed by the massive and long hallway. Then we went to another door as thick as my waist, probably the exit.
We stepped into the small bridge along the moat to the snowy trails. “You know your history.”
“Kinda. I love history. If I’m not a royal member, I’m probably taking my Ph. D. and teaching History or Art in college.”
“A sexy and hot professor. I like that.” I squeezed her gloved hand. “Are you cold?”
“Nope. We’re closed.”
Then a cabin came into view, double the size I had back in the U. S. The roof was made of brick stone. Someone must have turned the light on- a yellow light illuminating the window.
“I missed your cabin.”
I pulled her closer to me. “I missed you in there. Do I get a chance to take you there again?”
She lifted her chin and looked at me. “Of course.”
“You’ll probably be busy for a few months, Storm.”
“I will make time. I will make it possible. But it won’t happen if you’re not willing to work this out.”
“I’m working on something. Just bear with me.” I helped her enter the cabin- it was sturdier and clean, with wood and brick paneling. It had furniture, an old lamp-inspired chandelier, a cozy brown leather couch, a hardwood coffee table, and a giant TV screen.
“I am.”
“This is awesome.” I didn’t miss the classic stone fireplace, lit up. Then there was a door probably to the bathroom, and small dining set at the corner, a Viking stove, cupboards, a sink, and a double-door fridge. “Do you like it here?”
“Yeah. Very much.”
“But I want a tour up there first.”
She laughed softly. “If you say so, Langston.”
I helped her shrug off her coat and took off her hat. Then I took mine off as she took off her shoes. I hung them on the rack.
“But first.” I pulled her into my arms and hugged her so tight. “You know the feeling of seeing you, but I can’t have you. It fucking sucks.”
“I feel the same, but we are here now.”
“Until when, sweetheart? I can’t keep doing this, hiding from people. I want our lives as we had back home.”
She pulled back, cupped my face, and forced me to look at her. “I need more time.”
“For what?”
“To get the people to trust me.”
“Then what?”
“Then we can go public.”
“Our faces are already out.”
“Yes. That was the first step.”
“First step? To what?” I was confused. I knew the visit of the King had something to do with me seeing his daughter. But there was more to it, and I could see the look on Carly’s face right now.
“Why did you not listen to me, Langston?”
“About the trap? Because I missed you. I wanted to see you, and you needed me. That’s why I am here. I want to be with you when you need me. Aside from paying respects to the Late King. You seemed not thrilled.”
I closed our distance and pressed my body against hers, but we were still wearing a lot of clothes.
She crushed her lips against mine, kissing me, pouring her feeling into it. I instantly responded and kissed her the way she did.
I cupped her ass so that she could wrap her leg around me. And she got my cue. I lifted her and carried her upstairs.
I kicked the door shut behind us with my foot, our lips still connected, our tongues still tangled. I blindly searched for the bed.
“Storm,” I said to her mouth. “Take your clothes off and get naked in bed.
Her lust-filled eyes stared at me, her swollen lips parted.
“What?” I narrowed at her. “It’s also customary not to sleep with you?”
“I don’t care if that’s the case.” She hastily undressed herself. Once, she was only in her undies. She went to a well-made bed.
“Are you sure there are no paps around? As much as I am dying to be inside you, I can’t see my naked butt on the internet.”
She giggled as she unhooked her bra. “We’re safe.” Then her panties followed her bra on the carpeted floor.
“Good.” My gaze fell on her firm and supple tits, and her creamy skin looked soft and smooth under the yellow lamp. Her pink nipples peaked as if calling me for a good suckle and tease. And her bare pussy looked so enticing that my mouth salivated. I was instantly hard.
She was completely naked before me, and I was still right here standing. Her beauty was almost more than I could handle.
I switched gears. I crawled into bed toward her, and she welcomed me with her legs and arms open.
I set my elbow on the side of her head and lowered my mouth to hers, kissing her. I began palming my cock.
My emotions exuded into the kiss.
I ran my shaft into her core. She was already ripe, wet, and ready for me. I sank in slowly and felt her wet and warm around me, sucking me in.
I shuddered, and she sucked in a breath. It was getting better and better every time we were one. She felt good before, and she even felt better right now. Maybe because I trusted her, I loved her, and we had connections, a strong bond that made sex more special and spellbinding.
I groaned as I started moving, pumping into her. I let it fast and hard, and she writhed underneath, inhaling sharp breaths.
She then bucked her hips up, and I knew she was close. Winding my hand into her, I kissed her savagely the way I thrust into her, deeper as I could get. And it felt so fucking good.
“Rome.” Her moans got louder and louder. Her pussy clenched around me, my knees started to wobble, and the suction of my cock sinking into her almost made me faint.
I fucked her. My cock was so damn hard it swelled inside her.
“Come, sweetheart. Now.” I slammed into her. That’s it.
She convulsed- her eyes went wide. Her scream sent vibrations toward my orgasm.
