Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Prince and His Prisoner: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

*Before Aldridge returned*Shawn walked through the estate mindlessly and aimlessly.Aldridge had said to him that he could choose his own fate. One, he could live under him and two, return to prison with the possibility of death on his head.He stopped at one of the window's and looked out of it at the night sky that seemed as lonely as ever. He dropped his head as his arms stretched out against the windowsill and thought, 'But to sleep with a man?''He did rescue me from living in that endless pit of nothing with rats for food,' he thought again.Looking at the darkness under his feet the image of Aldridge replayed in his mind when he climbed into the bath with his slim waist and wide hips. He released a shuddering breath as he felt his body buzz with goosebumps.He closed his eyes and thought back to those women with whom he spent the night with and frowned. Inside he felt nothing for them and yet when he thought of Aldridge who saved him

Leonardo and Richard took forever to leave displeasing Aldridge who wanted to clear the air with Shawn and when they finally did leave, it was already evening and Shawn was not seen at lunch and dinner even though he was invited to eat with them.Aldridge went around asking where Shawn was and it was only when he spoke to Miriam that he got the report that Shawn was asleep in his chamber and the chamber servants attested her words.Aldridge rushed to the chamber and opened the door. Peeking his head in he saw that Shawn was lying across the bed without a shirt on and on his stomach with his eyes closed and mouth parted.Aldridge walked over silently and climbed on the bed. He kissed Shawn up his spine sending shivers all along his body then lied on Shawn’s back hugging him. Kissing Shawn on the side of his nec

Aldridge woke up to the sound of cutlery dropping. He opened his eyes and looked around the chamber.“Finally awake My Lord?” Mrs Wright said as she placed down the teacup and saucer beside his bed.“What do you mean?" He asked as he looked around the chamber and saw that it was daytime already.“You have been asleep for the last two days,” Mrs Wright answered.“What? Why?” Aldridge asked as he sat up and winced from the pain that riddled his back.“Be careful,” she said and helped him sit up against the headboard.“It’s okay, where is he?” Aldridge asked referring to Shawn.

Aldridge arrived at the palace and was greeted by the guards. One led him to the Council chamber where the king was attending to some of the Kingdom's affairs.The doors opened and the King looked over, he was not alone in the chamber; a few of the Ministers were as well and they were not pleased to see that the second prince was home, he always brought trouble with him and they were not looking forward to his latest shenanigans.Aldridge smiled as he looked at his father and bowed, “Your majesty, I have returned.”The King smiled at him and opened his arms, “Come give your father a hug.”Aldridge walked over and gave the king a tight hug and asked, “Are you doing well father?”“Yes,&

Shawn was inside a bakery waiting for his order when one of the manservants came looking for him and told him that Aldridge was home.Shawn arrived home and sent the cakes to the kitchen while he went to the chamber holding the box behind his back.Stepping through the doors, he saw that Aldridge was sitting on the bed hugging his legs with a pout. Aldridge looked over at Shawn who walked in and said, “Why were you not home Shawn?”Shawn walked over to him and sat down on the bed and asked as he looked at Aldridge, “Is that the first thing you say to me?”Aldridge’s pout grew then he crawled over to him and jumped on Shawn. He looked down at Shawn who was lying uncomfortably and asked, “What are you hiding behind your back?”
