Seduced by a King Chapter 8 - The Meeting at the Round Table
Adam, my driver and unofficial bodyguard at times, easily recognized my need for a quiet moment and just asked where to and nothing more. Usually, we chitchat back and forth about his beautiful Italian wife, his four way-too-beautiful daughters and his Italian Nonna's food and my efforts to immitate that woman's brilliant cooking and failing again and again. Adam's grandmother owned the best Italian joint in town and I had met her several times. A Queen of pasta if there ever was one. Needless to say, I could always keep the conversation going with Adam...However, today he took one look at me and let me have my peace. I couldn't stop my thoughts running wild. Damn, I could still taste James in my mouth. Why did he have to confuse me with that body of his? Why did he have to look like Adonis and why the hell did I have to be extremely attracted to that? Why couldn't he just have kissed me like that on our freaking wedding night?! Oh yeah...The ghost of Carrie still haunted us. I needed

“Wait....you’re meeting my sister and your former lover at the city’s most romantic restaurant and you DON’T think it’s a big deal?!?!?!” I almost yelled at him."Well...When you say it like that it sounds bad and wrong." he said."For F...'s sake! It IS fucking wrong, James! You do not meet your wife's sister at the city's most romantic restautant for an innocent business meeting or even for an 'lets-catch-up-and-have-dinner-and-drinks' thing. How can you not see that? Why do I have to explain such an obvious thing to you?!" I yelled. "Tone it down, Josefine! Don't yell at me. Carrie picked the restaurant at random, Im sure. The restaurant didn't exist when she still lived here. She just needs business advice and Im happy to give it to her if it can help her readjust to being back in the city more quickly." James argued. "Oh she'd love the attention from the press. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd been the one to call them in the first place. Carrie has never done anything not calcu
Seduced by a King Chapter 10 - The Reunion
"Your sister is here to join us! Isn't it wonderful that she's finally home?!" My mother beames at my sister as though she just invented the wheel right in front of us. I stop and quietly ask my mother. "What is she doing here?" I really should have expected it. This is something my mother would do. A disguised set-up is right up her alley. I really don't know why it surprised me to see Carrie here. I really should have expected it. Carrie places the small fan onto the table, stands up and looks at me and say "Josefine. Long time, no see little sister. You look...haggard. I suppose Father Time has been rather cruel to you." Nice. Years apart with absolutely no contact of any sort and thats her first comment to me. "Mother, I have to say. Im disappointed in you. Hello to you too, Carrie. Now I know you two brought me here for a reason and its not 'brunch', so...why am I here? Whats wrong with an email?" Carrie smirks at me as though she finds me funny while my mother looks.
Seduced by a King Chapter 11 - The Battle for the Castle
I should have just gone straight home, turned up the AC og sleep the day away. But I was still in an angry and bitchy mood and very hungry now that I missed out on the amazing looking brunch, so I stopped at Pascals and got their delicious steak salad, a chocolate chip coockie and a lemonade to-go, and then went directly to the warehouse to eat my food and have my meeings. I hadn't been lying to my mother when I said I had other meetings todays. But this mornings interaction bothered me more then I thought it would have. I mean... I know this move would come eventually. With my mother's ambitions for her first born, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. My mother has always been very clear as to who was and still is the favorite child and made no lies about that. There was an heir and and couple of spares and my big brother and I was the spares. And I've always known Carrie hated my guts. This "intervention" of theirs was exactly something they would do. But I truly do
Seduced by a King Chapter 12 - To Wash Away The Sins Of The Day
Arriving home after a....challenging day....I briefly saw James' black loafers were gone and guessed he was probbaly still at the office. Excellent! I wanted nothing more than to drink a large glass of white wine while having a lovely bath. I wanted to just....soak...the sweat and grime of the city off my body. This summer had been non-stop rain followed by a now 2 month long heatwave and the heat has been unbearable-on a good day! The sweating nonstop is a chronic condition for everyone right now...especially if you leave any airconditioned rooms. I felt I was beginning smell rather ...ripe. So a bath was now at the top of my to-do liste! Normally, when Im home, I like to do most things I want to do by myself and rarely actually rely on the staff for mundane tasks, but today I asked one of the maids to fill up the tub with water and to get me a large glass of a lovely white wine before sending them out of the house. I went to the kitchen and took out the couple of steaks from the f

The door opened again and then quietly closed shut. Thank God. We really hired some competent people. I really didn't want to talk to anymore people. I just wanted to soak my problems away! I should probably just get that divorce. Not for Carrie or my mother's sake. Or even James' sake. But for my own. I deserve a happily ever after. I deserve to be loved in return just as much I love. At the very least I deserve to have someone freaking listening to me when I open my month and confess my secrets. Not just someone who pretends to listen and instead think about work or another woman and only returns to the present when I ask a question. I really cannot believe that I didn't realize it before. I guess love really does make you stupid at times. "Well...this looks cozy-Room for two in there?" a smooth voice asked. I shot straight up in the tub, quickly realizing that the door opening had not been Lisa with my robe and towel. But instead my suit-clad husband...who was taking off hi
Seduced by a King Chapter 14 - This Is....Wooing?
I stared at the door where my husband had just left stark naked as the day he was born. He wanted to be the one who'd give me a happily ever after??? Since WHEN?!? And wasn't he supposed to be in love with my dear sister?! And how the hell is it possible to have that many abs as a mere mortal?! Im so confused. Well....so much for my relaxing bath! I got out of the bath, dried myself off and walked in to the bedroom to put on my night clothes....only to stop abruptly due to the fact that a piece of paper, rippedfrom my notebook lying on my nightstand, had been thrown onto my bed with the words "The courtship shall now begin! I will woe you so hard that you will quickly realize that there is only one solution for a happily ever after for you....by staying married to me! -J"Woe? He wanted to woe me? Hard? And people called me strange....Apparently they hadn't met my husband!I found my camisol and night shorts, got into bed and finally fell asleep...strang
Seduced by a King Prologue
James... Fucking... King. The man I fell in love with when I was barely 17 years old. The man who looks like Adonis re-encarnated, is wicked smart and more or less rules Montonia. The man I married almost 5 years ago. The man...who still yearns for my sister. I know. Its such a freaking cliché. The sister and the husband having an affair. However, this is not quite that-its worse. Because they'd been together forever before. They share a past. And Im the one who developed feelings for my sister's college boyfriend. I couldn't even hide my feelings as a teenager, so my sister, mum and dad had to sit me down and talk to me about how it wasn't really appropriate for me to have those feelings and I definitely couldn't act on them when he was with my sister. I. was. MORTEFIED! And my already shaky relationship to my sister deteriorated rapidly! I avoided my family for years after that just to make sure I didnt do anything weird near Carrie and James. But whenever James would show
