Alex's POV

I couldn't help but stare at her peaceful beautiful expression. She had her eyes closed as she leaned towards me. The moment felt so real, so calm and yet so beautiful.

My fingers trailed her smooth skin as I got lost in the warmth of her body. For a moment, I forgot the weight that had rested on me a while ago. My duties and everything in between that had once bothered me, now felt light, like they all vanished.

My face lingered inches away from hers, I could feel her breath against mine. The woods, the birds, the noise—everything around us seemed to still, like they no longer existed.

My breath matched hers, heavy, like we both knew what was coming. But instead of closing the gap, I leaned to the side at the last second. “We’re still in the woods, you know,” I whispered mischievously into her ear.

Eleanor pulled back almost too quickly, her eyes fluttered open instantly. Her cheeks burned read instantly. “Right,” she said, quickly pulling back and cleaning her hands on

  • Empire of Lust   Chapter 14

    Nick's POVI don't know how long I sat there, but I knew very well that I dreaded hearing that voice. Just when I asked for a little peace of mind. The universe can't just give me a break."Earth to Nick?" The voice snapped me out of my thoughts. It was smooth and laced with amusement."Already drunk this early in the day?" She added.I froze. I knew that voice very well.It was familiar, too familiar. I searched my mind, running through my memory to try to place it. Then it came to me gently. It was a voice I hadn't heard in five years. The last time I heard from her, she left town, never to return but that was five years ago.Catherine.I turned to finally respond to her but she had already slotted into the space across from me in the booth. I stared at her as her legs crossed, her expression smug like she owned the room.I kept my gaze on her, my jaw tightening. "What are you doing here?"She smiled, not skipping a beat. "Wow, it’s been a while, Nick. I’m doing good, thanks for ask

    Alex's POV Her voice lingered in my mind long after she said it. "Are you truly happy, Alex?"I blinked. My thoughts had trailed off. A simple answer couldn't be easily given as I fought with reality. Eleanor was still kneeling, her fingers stroked my hand calmly. The movement soothed me as her eyes locked on mine with more gentleness than I deserved."I never thought of it that way," I murmured, my voice lower than usual. "I never imagined how a simple question could make me challenge everything I’ve ever known."She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "It’s normal to forget yourself when you carry the kind of weight we carry.""Do you?" I asked, surprising myself with the bluntness of my question. "Do you forget yourself too?"Eleanor looked taken aback, her lips parted slightly. She took a moment, adjusted herself on her knees, and nodded. "Yes," she admitted. "I do. Most of the time, especially when growing up.""Your parents?""Nope," she swallowed. "My aunt... she had a way o

    Alex's POV I felt the strong pull to reach over and run my hand through her hair, through her perfect skin. I fought the desire to know how it felt.By the time I had recovered myself, she had neatly tied her hair in a perfect bun, pulled up her sleeves cleanly and had gone down a few inches with her heels kept aside. She reached over and took the trap from my hands while I stood still. A little laugh escaped her lips before she proceeded to kneel gently on the warm grass. I didn't know when I got lost watching her perfectly composed demeanor. I had to speak to avoid making things awkward."Never knew you were the kind to hunt?"She chuckled. "I guess you aren't doing a good job at getting to know me." I couldn't laugh. She was right. I suck at the little things."For your information, Your Highness," she paused, giving me a funny look. I loved the way she called it tho. "I started hunting when I was young, my dad took my brothers and me out hunting and till today, we still go out

  • Empire of Lust   Chapter 11

    Nick's POV "Some people need to talk about it. I can be a great listener." Her words stung my ears. The last time I shared how I felt, I ended up in a mess, worse than how I was before sharing. I can't imagine doing that again.So I gave a small chuckle, trying to keep things casual. "Is that in the package too?""Depends on how generous you are."The side flirtish tone didn’t go unnoticed. Her hands moved slower, with intent, lingering too long at the base of my spine, then sliding slowly over my lower back.I felt her lean forward as she pressed her body over mine. She whispered into my ear. "You have a beautiful body."I didn't respond. I wasn’t in the mood for this, but I didn’t stop her either.She leaned in further. I could feel her breasts pressing against my back. Her breath brushed my ear as she spoke. "I could help you forget whatever’s bothering you."Then she flipped the towel slightly to reach my hip. I stiffened. I felt uncomfortable, far from pleasure.I sat up abrupt

  • Empire of Lust   Chapter 10

    Nick's POVThe screeching of the tires pulled me from my annoyance. The car rolled over the marbled courtyard of my father's mansion. The bright sunlight bounced off the polished hood of my sleek black Jaguar. The world outside looked buzzy. The neighborhood still maintained its clean calm essence, just the way he liked it. Just the way he believed everything should be. But inside me, it was anything but perfect. My jaw clenched as I turned out of the block and onto the sleek road.I hated everything here.I hated the expectations, the scripts that were written for us long before we could even form sentences. Why do our fathers think they had the right to dictate our lives? Why does his father keep shoving royalty and legacy down Alex's throat like it was the only reason he had him? Why does mine keep trying to mold me into a man I can barely recognize? The perfect son. The future president.They didn't know us.At least, mine never really did. I exhaled, shaking my head. There was
