over me.
I ride it over the
edge, yelling out his name as I arch my back and grind down on both
his fingers and his cock. I’m still shaking when he starts
shuddering and cursing. My name comes out of his mouth on a sigh as
we both stop moving. That was…I don’t even know…amazing? Mind
blowing? Best ever? All of the above? Yeah, that’s it.
“You okay?” he asks
me.
“Better than.”
“That was pretty epic.”
I laugh as I tease him.
“You’re starting to talk like me.”
“I’ll say or do
anything you want after what just happened.”
“Or we could just do
it again.”
“Give me a little
time to recover, and then I’ll be more than happy to make love to
you again.”
“No. Don’t say
that. It wasn’t that,” I tell him, moving off of him to gather my
clothes.
“What was it then?”
“Fucking. We fucked.”
It’s a lie when it
comes off my tongue, and he knows it. I can’t allow it to be more,
though. Not with Brayden. He needs something from me that I can’t
give him, and despite our “truce,” I know he won’t stop until
he gets what he thinks he needs. Which means he may have to go back
on his promise not to harm me. I can’t just give the jewels to him,
and if love gets involved in what we’re doing, it’ll make it that
much harder on both of us.
“Bullshit. That was…I
don’t know exactly what it was…but it wasn’t just fucking. We
both know it, so stop pretending.”
“What happens in the
light of day, Brayden? Do you just forget that you want something
from me that I can’t give you? Do we make this engagement real and
live happily ever after? What?”
“I don’t know.”
“Fucking,” I say,
turning to stop the stupid tears that are threatening to fall. I’m
not a crier. I’m not.
“Come here, Cat,”
he tells me pulling me into his bare chest, and holding me tight.
“We’ll figure this out somehow. I promise. Just don’t belittle
what we are, or what just happened. Please. Give me—us—a chance.”
“I want to,” I tell
him honestly. “But what if it’s all too much with everything
else.”
“We’ll take it day
by day. Hour by hour. Minute by minute. Whatever it takes. Just be in
this with me, and let me have you, even if it’s just for now.”
I’m not sure I’ll
be able to handle it when the “now” is over, but I don’t want
to say no. I can’t. What I’m starting to feel for him is stronger
than I’ve ever felt for anyone else, and I don’t want to be
without him. Forever was never on the table, so “now” is going to
have to do.
“Yes. Okay. We’ll
do now.”
“Score.”
“I’m going to make
an American out of you yet, Crown.”
“Or I’ll make a
Cyndryannite out of you.”
“Not likely. How’s
the recovery time, by the way?”
He moves back a little
to show me his erect cock. “See for yourself.”
“I think it’s time
to try the bed,” I tell him with a smile as I walk towards my
bedroom.
“Brilliant idea, Cat.
Absolutely brilliant.”

Brayden
“You’re running out
of time, Bray.”
“I’m well aware of
the timeline, Noah.”
“Yet you’re not
pushing her for the answers you need.”
“Leave it alone.”
“You’ve been
sleeping in her room every night for the past month, and you can’t
get her to tell you where the jewels are? Have you lost your touch?”
“I haven’t lost
anything, and it’s not like that. She’s not like that.”
“You really like her,
don’t you?”
“I love her,” I
tell.
“Bloody hell. Are you
willing to give up the crown for her?”
“I can’t.”
He looks like he wants
to punch me, and I take a step back without even realizing it. “If
she’s not worth more than a monarchy, then you don’t really love
her. You should stop leading her on.”
“Umm, weren’t you
the one telling me to seduce her secret from her just a minute ago?”
“When I thought it
was just sex, yeah. But if you’re in love with her, she’ll know
it. I don’t
