Kieran's POV:

"You are making me get used to yourself." I whispered and my eyes lingered on his face before moving down to his muscular body. Under the scrutiny of my eyes, his muscles got tense and his breathing started to turn heavier.

"And I do not want to. I am not ready to get myself addicted to another thing. These addictions do not end well. They never do." I was talking to him but it was more like I was trying to get some senses in myself.

"You have beautiful tattoos." I continued as I ran my finger on his left arm that is covered in ink, before moving up to his shoulder, neck and then southward to his chest. "Someday I would love to hear the stories behind them." They looked like they had a story to tell. Because they didn't have a context, however, after everything was put together, they turned into a masterpiece.

An eagle, a rose, some directions.. I was curious about them.

"You just said that you are tired. Get some rest." He got up abruptly and was about to leave when

  • Bratty Prince And The Bodyguard    Chapter 253

    Kieran's POV:I didn’t say anything, just stared at him. Then a small, private smile tugged at the edge of my lips. The kind that belonged only to him. “I feel safe with you,” I whispered, almost like a confession. He brushed my thumb along my cheek. “Good. Because you are.” The silence that followed wasn’t awkward. It wasn’t tense. It felt like the calm after a war. Peaceful and something we have earned. His breathing slowed, syncing with mine again. I pressed a kiss to his forehead and whispered against his skin, “You are mine now. In every way.” “I have always been yours,” he replied softly. Adrien held me tighter from behind, his chin resting lightly on my shoulder, the weight of his arms grounding me in a way nothing else ever could. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heart against my back, and it soothed something deep inside me. The kind of ache I hadn’t even realized I had been carrying. “You remember the first time we stood on a balcony like this?” he murmured, brea

  • Bratty Prince And The Bodyguard    Chapter 252

    Kieran's POV:I felt the burn behind my eyes and immediately blinked it away. He walked off the platform. Walked straight to me. Right through the crowd, parting like the damn Red Sea. “I never thought I would be standing here like this,” he said, approaching. “Not just as the head of an empire. Not as a guard. But as a man who’s found his home in someone else.” And then… he knelt. Gasps rippled through the crowd. Cameras flashed and my entire heart slammed against my chest. Adrien knelt on one knee, holding out a black velvet box. Inside it sat a ring, a simple platinum band with a single black diamond in the center. Bold, elegant and unmistakably us. My heart stopped beating. “Kieran,” he said, voice a little shaky now. “Will you marry me?” I stared at him while everything else blurred. The cameras. The people. The music. They were gone. It was just him. My Adrien. On his goddamn knee. Then, without thinking, I dropped down to my knees too. Grabbed his stupid perfect face i

    2 years later:Kieran's POV: The sky was painted in shades of gold and lavender, the kind of dusk that seemed too perfect to be real. Below it, the royal gardens buzzed with quiet excitement and a charity gala held on palace grounds, complete with string lights, live music, and champagne towers. Ca

  • Bratty Prince And The Bodyguard    Chapter 250

    Adrien's POV: He grabbed my shirt, dragging me toward the bed with a grin that was far too self-assured. He pushed me, not hard, but enough to get his point across. I landed on the mattress with a laugh. “Alright then,” I said, folding my hands behind my head, amused. “Impress me, prince.” He climbed over me, straddling my hips. “I plan to.” The next few minutes were a blur of heat. His hands roamed like he had been fantasizing about this all night. His kisses were possessive, deep as it left no room to breathe. He pressed me into the mattress, his thigh pushing between mine, grinding and coaxing sounds out of me I didn’t mean to give. But then he started really testing his limits. Kieran slid a hand down my chest, nails scratching slightly, and muttered against my neck, “You look better beneath me than I imagined.” I laughed hard. “Bold words, your highness.” “I am not done,” he warned, dragging his teeth across my jaw. “You better stay still.” “Or what?” He nipped my collar

  • Bratty Prince And The Bodyguard    Chapter 249

    Adrien’s POV:The moment the car doors shut behind us, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I had been holding all damn night. The leather seats were cold against my back, but my blood was running hot. In fact, it was too hot and it was not from the wine. But from him. He noticed my feelings when h

  • Bratty Prince And The Bodyguard    Chapter 248

    Kieran's POV:“You speak with great faith in him,” my mother finally said, the edges of her mouth twitching upward. “I do,” Adrien replied, sliding his hand behind my back with a warmth I hadn’t realized I needed. “Because I have seen him in rooms where men have begged. But he doesn’t fold. He leads.” My father gave a grunt that might’ve been approval. And my mother, to her credit, only nodded. “That’s good to hear.” I swallowed. My jaw clenched tighter than I wanted to admit, and I looked away for a beat before clearing my throat. “We are not in a hurry for that,” I said quietly. “The future will come when it does.” She placed a hand on my shoulder as we stepped out of the dining room. “I know, sweetheart. But the world is watching. And you are both leaders now. They will always ask whether it’s fair or not.” “I have been asked worse,” I muttered. “Like when the press wanted to know if I cried at the coronation because of ‘emotional growth’ or just the humidity.” Adrien snorted
