CHAPTER 17
“A ghost? I don’t agree… No... I was here all the time, King… I was working for them. I saw people at festivals and other meetings,” Romaine insisted.
“Yes, Romy, and everyone saw your smiling face, but then you were tucked away again. Now that you’re older, rumors have started that you’re a shut-in, maybe even not right… in the head,” Kingston muttered, sounding as irritated as she felt. “Hell, I’m not proud for saying this but I believed them before I met you. I thought you were just another egotistical, spoiled, arrogant princess…”
Romaine didn’t understand how it was possible. When her brother died, it hurt her, but she had moved past it. She had no choice. She was the Crown Princess, and there were duties to carry out.
“Tell me, King… The people… What do they think I do?”

Each touch sent Romaine closer to falling apart in his arms. His fingers thrust hard up into her, a preview of what was to come. Just the thought of having him, all of him, sent her tumbling over the edge into oblivion. A cry tore from her throat, but he covered her mouth hurriedly with his. She cried out and her hips bucked as the climax took her hard, spreading through her limbs, stronger than any she’d had previously, and before she finished, Kingston picked her up in his arms and stalked towards the bedroom. Her chest heaving, Romaine slid down the front of his body, being sure to press herself against every inch of him, and smirked when he growled. His eyes darkened until her hands fumbled for his shirt.“Wait, baby…” Kingston whispered roughly, stopping her.“I want to see all of you, King… So, you’re not going to hide from me,” Romaine told him fiercely. “Not now, not after you forced the real me out.” Kingston frowned, but his face soften

The moon was still out in the sky, but Kingston was in no hurry to leave his sweet Romaine’s bed. He lay on his stomach, his eyes closed, and for once in his few years out of the military, he was completely and utterly... happy. Kingston’s mind was at ease, and his body… Well, most of it was relaxed. With a naked Romaine straddling his waist while her delicate fingers traced the outline of his tattoo, it was hard for every piece of him to be relaxed. His erection pressed into the bed, but he didn’t move to take her again. Her touch was soothing. Every place where her skin pressed into his was on fire with the hunger coursing through his body, and at the same time, she brought the strangest sense of calm over him.“Was I right, King?” she asked quietly as her hand flattened between his shoulder blades.“About what, my darling?” he replied roughly, his eyes fluttering open so he could glance over his shoulder at her.“About the skull on your back… Is it you

“There she is,” King Hernando said and stood from behind his desk. “Good morning, sweetheart.” Brent closed the study door, and Romaine took a deep breath to steady her nerves.“Good morning, Father… Good morning, Mother.” King Hernando and Queen Dorothea each took a hand, guiding her to the couch.“You look extremely well this morning, Romy… Doesn’t she, my love?” Dorothea asked her husband. Romaine glanced from one to the other, and all the courage she’d built up to confront them vanished at the look in their eyes.“What’s going on? What did you two do?”“Listen, sweetie,” Queen Dorothea said, “since you’re now twenty-five, we’ve decided it’s time to tell you what you have to look forward to. As you know, we plan on handing over the throne sooner rather than later, but before we can, there are conditions that must be met.”“Like what, exactly? How soon are you planning on stepping down?” Romaine asked quickly, worry causing her to tug on her ear until h

By the time Kingston found Raoul and filled him in on what he’d overheard at the docks, the sun was setting and King Hernando and Queen Dorothea had departed for their trip to the main continent. The rest of the guard was on their way back from the Royal dock, but Kingston remained with Raoul, watching the old man pace around his office on the lower level of the palace.“You said there was a shipment coming in at midnight?” Raoul said, scratching his chin in thought.“Yes, sir, at midnight. But he didn’t say what it was, and it was too much of a risk to follow them.”“No… No, you’re right, King. What you heard was enough.”“Sir? What are you planning on doing?” Kingston asked, anxious to be a part of it, but when Raoul stopped in front of him, his face fell. “Oh, I see… You wish for me to stay by Princess Romaine’s side.”“That is your place now, King. Protect her at all costs. For all we know, if we do take any action against Thiago and Alba, it could lead to a mu

‘Damn you for hurting her!’ he said to himself and tried not to hold her. Still as a statue, Kingston waited for Romaine to lash out at him, but her face went blank… frighteningly blank. The instincts that always warned Kingston when an enemy was near, went on red alert as she stalked past him to the trellis.“Are you coming or not, Mr. Rossdale?” she said quietly before climbing back down. She’d never called him that… Romaine was angry but he had no choice but to follow her down to the balcony where Brent and Marisol were still waiting for them. By the time his boots hit the stone, the women were in Romaine’s bedroom with the door shut.“What happened up there, King?&

She stormed towards the balcony and threw the doors open.“Where the hell are you going now?” Romaine glanced out over the city.“Out, King. I’m going out. I’m going where the people may see me… see that I’m real, that I hurt, that I smile… That I’m a human being… I am going OUT!”“The hell you are,” he muttered and stalked towards her. “Romaine, you know very well you can’t leave the palace.”“Really? Says who? You, King? You have no control over me, and my jailors also known as my parents are gone.”“It’s not safe, damn it! Stop arguing with me and get back inside,” Kingston growled. When he enveloped her in his arms, Romaine aimed to slap him, but he caught her wrist.“It’s not safe, Romaine! Do you hear me? Your cousin is out to get you!” Romaine stilled instantly at his words.“What? What did you just say?” Kingston released her and stepped back, running a twitching hand through his hair.“Just… Please, stay inside until we sort everything

“It took you a long time to get here,” she said and her emerald eyes looked at him a bit perplexed. “All you had to do was prepare the wine and join me in the bathtub.”“I wanted to be sure everything is all right outside the doors of your rooms, my sweet Princess,” Kingston replied and lowered his head just enough to catch her bottom lip lightly between his teeth. “I’m still your bodyguard, am I not?” he whispered against her lips. Romaine wanted to reply, but like every time Kingston would kiss her, she was drowning in a flood of sensations, of longings, of needs. Her breath had strangled in her lungs, and she couldn’t breathe. She didn’t want to.“This is one of my many fantasies,” he said and started to slowly lose his clothes one by one. “You, me… both naked, having hot sex in a bathtub or, even better, in the shower…” Kingston took a condom out of his pocket and he’d carefully laid it in the soap dish. Romaine wet her lips and watched his magnificent naked bo
KING'S HIDDEN PRINCESS CHAPTER 25
The sun streamed in through the open balcony. Thinking about her wonderful love-filled night with Kingston, Romaine breathed in the fresh morning air, completely at peace with the world around her for a change. With her parents absent from the island, even if only for a day or two, the walls didn’t seem so closed-in. He made that happen. She wanted to stay there, watching the water, and feel the sun’s warmth on her face, but sooner or later, she would be called from her room to perform her duties as the Crown Princess. Except today, there was more to it than that. Two strong arms closed around her, and Kingston kissed the top of her head as she leaned back into his embrace.“Hi, gorgeous…” Kingston whispered. “How you’re feeling this morning?”“Now that you’re here, I’m ecstatic. Watching you go away so early made me so sad…” Romaine replied and turned to face him while still in his embrace. “I don’t want you to leave… I feel so lost once you closed that
