Stealing His Princess

He doesn't try to hide me either. I have a feeling pictures of the two of us today are going to show up at some point online. He is, after all, a prince. Everywhere we went he kept me tucked close to him, his mouth not far from mine.

Every request Sov makes in regards to me gets a curious look from his man. It makes me feel out of place at times. But deep down inside, I know they are only trying to protect him. They liken me to a Vieth Orphan, and let’s just say I can understand their reservations. Even though I see the girls in the house in a different light, most of them have earned their reputations. I’m not really opposed to Sov’s men believing I’m as lethal as the rest.

“Trust me. I’m in Karin’s territory. She knows what’s going on.” I lick my lips, trying to read his tone. I’m never sure if he dislikes Karin or not. I know a lot of men look down on us. For some reason, they think they are better with how they deal in business. It bothers me to think that Sov may share those same feelings. I might be the accountant, but I am still one of them. I love almost all the girls. Karin gave me a home when I had nowhere else to go. She saved me from my own father.

Dread fills my belly at the thought of having to deal with Milly. Hopefully she’s found herself a man to occupy her time, but I know no matter what she’ll never let me live this down. She’s been looking for a reason to hate me. I’m sure in her mind, the moment I hooked up with Sov gave her that cause. I can understand why she wanted him for herself. I mean, of course there’s the whole he’s a prince thing, but there is something different about him.

“An hour.” He finally gives up, trying to make it sound like an order, but I swear there is a small pout that’s formed on his lips. It makes me want to drag him back in to the suite bedroom and use my mouth on him. Something I haven't gotten to do yet.

“That’s so sweet of you, Your Majesty,” I tease with a laugh. “That you would allow me a whole hour.”

“Your Majesty.” He groans, pressing his cock into my stomach. I gasp, hating the fact that I passed out last night. There is always tonight. “Call me that again, and I’m not letting you go at all.” It’s so tempting to do so, but I know I have to check in.

Never in my life have I thought of myself as sexy. Yet the way Sov reacts to me makes me feel exactly that. Who am I kidding? He makes me feel all sorts of things I’ve never felt before. The only problem with that is I’m beginning to enjoy it a little too much. I never want those feelings to go away.

I release my fingers that are holding on to him in a death grip. “I’ll be back.” He reluctantly releases his hold on me, and I step back. He reaches out, his fingers coming to the heavy necklace around my neck. I haven't taken it off since he placed it on me.

“Promise you won’t take this off, darling.”

“Promise,” I agree. When he calls me that I feel precious to him. I don’t want to take it off. It's a constant reminder of his claim on me. It might sound barbaric and maybe I shouldn't like it. I know most of the Vieth girls wouldn't enjoy the thought of being claimed by a man, but I can’t help but feel that way when it comes to Sov.

He lightly tugs the necklace, encouraging me to come closer to him so he can kiss me long and hard before releasing me. “Don’t forget we told Nour we’d call her tonight.” He gives me a nod before I slip out of his suite.

I take the elevator downstairs where I’m supposed to meet up with the girls. I’m not sure why I suddenly feel nervous, but I do. I’ve never done the stay out all night with a man thing, and I’m sure everyone will have questions. Maybe that’s why I suddenly feel on edge. I don’t want to share too much about Sov. I want to keep some of what we have between us private.

They spot me the second I step off the elevator. “What is happening here?” Their eyes travel over me up and down. “Did he dress you up?” Jewels asks. I don’t think she’s saying it to be mean. She has a smile on her face. It hits a deep insecurity inside of me. One I don’t want to touch about my own family.
