All Chapters of In Bed With Her Shithead Boss: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Keira stretched languidly, every muscle in her body sore from their last couple of romps. "I think I can manage getting dressed without your help, Your Highness." She sat up slowly, the sheet pooling around her waist. "Though after that performance, I'm not making any promises about walking in a straight line."Alexei's eyes darkened as they traced over her bare skin. "Keep talking like that and we'll miss our landing entirely.""Promises, promises." She slipped out of bed, very aware of his heated gaze following her every movement. Her legs were shakier than she'd care to admit, but she managed to retrieve some fresh clothes from her bag."Keira." His voice stopped her as she reached for her bra. When she turned, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, completely unselfconscious in his nudity. "Are you really okay with this? All of it?"The question caught her off guard. After everything they'd just shared, the concern in his tone made her chest tight. Was he worried she wasn't ready

She'd seen photos of the King, of course, but nothing had prepared her for the man's presence. He was as tall as Alexei, with silver-streaked dark hair and the same sharp jawline his son had inherited. But where Alexei's eyes held warmth and sometimes mischief, the King's were calculating and cool as they swept over her."Father," Alexei said, stepping forward. "May I present Keira Warner."Keira remembered her briefing… wait for him to extend his hand, address him properly, don’t speak unless spoken to. She stood her ground, spine straight, chin lifted slightly. Not defiant but not cowering either. She would not show any weakness. She may be shaking on the inside, but he would not know that.The King's gaze assessed her for what felt like an eternity before he extended his hand. "Miss Warner. Welcome to Wystovia.""Your Majesty." She stepped forward, taking his hand briefly. His grip was firm. "Thank you for receiving me." Keira didn't curtsey because no one had told her to, and she w

Maria straightened, her polite mask slipping for just a moment before sliding back into place. "I'm sorry?""You heard me." Keira crossed her arms, fixing the other woman with a level stare. "Ever since you introduced yourself, you've been making little digs disguised as pleasantries. So, what's your issue with me?""I'm sure I don't know what you mean—""Cut the crap." Keira's voice sharpened. "The comments about my background, about how 'overwhelming' royal life must be for an outsider, about how I need to learn the 'unspoken rules.' You've been condescending to me since the moment we met."Maria smiled, but Keira could tell it was all performance, nothing genuine behind it. "I was merely trying to prepare you for—""For what? For the fact that you don't think I belong here?" Keira took a step closer. "Look, I get it. You're from a royal family, I'm not. You've known Alexei your whole life, I haven't. But if you have something to say, just say it instead of hiding behind fake polite

Keira stared at the velvet box in Alexei's hands, her heart hammering against her ribs. Now this… him giving her a ring made it seem so real."Alexei." Her voice came out smaller than she intended."It's not what you think," he said quickly, reading her expression. "Not yet, anyway." He opened the box to reveal not an engagement ring, but a delicate gold chain with a pendant. "This belonged to my mother. She left it to me."The pendant was exquisite, a small sapphire surrounded by diamonds in an intricate setting that looked vintage and precious. Keira's breath caught."Your mother's?" She looked up at him, searching his face. "Alexei, I can't—""You can." His voice was gentle. "She would have wanted you to have it. To wear it tomorrow night.""But what if—""What if what?" He stepped closer, the box still open between them."What if your father changes his mind about me? What if I make some horrible mistake tomorrow and embarrass your family?" The words tumbled out before she could s

Alexei shuddered above her as his own release tore through him. His fingers dug into her hips with bruising intensity. He collapsed against her back, their sweat-slicked bodies pressed together, both of them trembling in the aftermath. For several moments, they remained frozen in that position, their ragged breathing the only sound in the luxurious bedroom."Jesus," Keira finally gasped when she could form words again. "That was...""Incredible," Alexei finished, pressing a kiss to her shoulder blade. He withdrew carefully and tied off the condom, tossing it aside on the nightstand, before helping her onto the bed properly.She curled against him, her body still humming with aftershocks. The pendant he'd given her rested cool against her flushed skin."Do you think anyone heard us?" she asked, suddenly remembering where they were in the royal palace, with staff and guards everywhere.Alexei laughed, the sound vibrating through his chest under her cheek. "The walls are stone and a foot
