FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION

Chapter 7

The little princess Sophia and Aria were in the library studying when princess Elaine swept into the library, her silk gown rustling softly as she moved. She spotted Aria and Princess Sophia seated at a wooden table, surrounded by leather-bound tomes and parchments. Sophia, with her curly brown locks and big brown eyes, looked up from her primer and smiled.

"Aunt Elaine!" Sophia exclaimed, waving her quill.

Princess Elaine smiled graciously and approached the table. "Good morning, my dear. What learning are you acquiring today?" She greeted Aria with a nod. "Good day, Aria. How is Sophia faring in her studies?"

Aria rose from her seat, curtsying slightly. "Princess Elaine, good day. Sophia is making good progress in her lessons, thank you for asking."Just then, a liveried guard entered the library. "Pardon, my lady. His Highness, Prince Alexander, has returned and desires Miss Forthergill presence in his study."Princess Elaine's face fell slightly, her eyes flicking to Aria. "Ah, I had thought he would wish to see me first...but of course, Aria is Sophia's governess and he has his sister's welfare in hand." Princess Elaine thought.Aria looked puzzled. "what did the prince want, she thought as she followed the guard, leaving the little princess to the care of princess Elaine "Forgive me, but I do not know where the prince's study lies." Aria said to the guard. The guard bowed. "Follow me, Miss Forthergill. I would bring you to him.

As Aria departed with the guard, Princess Elaine turned to Sophia. "Let us finish your lesson, little one. Maybe next time, the prince shall desire our company together."Sophia nodded, her attention already back on her primer. "yes, Aunt Elaine.

Princess Elaine smiled, her eyes shining with warmth.

Aria followed the guard through the castle's winding corridors, her heart beating slightly faster with each step. They stopped at a heavy wooden door, adorned with intricate carvings, and the guard knocked twice before opening it.

"Enter," a deep, rich voice called from within.

Aria stepped inside, her eyes adjusting to the dimly lit room. The prince's study was a cozy space, lined with shelves upon shelves of leather-bound books, and a large wooden desk in the center. Prince Alexander sat behind the desk, his shirt open at the collar, revealing a strong, muscular neck. His piercing blue eyes gazed up from the papers he was reading, and Aria felt a shiver run down her spine. "I trust you've been keeping well?"Aria curtsied slightly. "Yes, Your Highness. I've been doing my duty with Princess Sophia."The prince nodded, his eyes narrowing. "I asked you to report back to me daily, Aria. I have not been around for a week and now I want to know everything about Sophia's activities, her moods, her progress...everything since then. There was a way Aria felt when the prince called her name and she couldn't place a finger on what that feeling was.

Aria took a deep breath, launching into a detailed account of Sophia's lessons, her tantrums, and her sweet moments. The prince listened intently, his expression unreadable, but his eyes never leaving hers. As she spoke, Aria couldn't help but notice the rumors about him seemed true, he exuded an aura of confidence, arrogance

The prince's eyes narrowed. "See that you continue to do so. Sophia's well-being is of the utmost importance to me. I won't have anyone...neglecting their duties."Aria swallowed hard, sensing a low-key threat beneath his words. "Of course, Your Highness. I understand." The prince's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he nodded curtly. As Aria sat before the Prince Alexander's desk, she couldn't help but notice the intensity of his gaze. His piercing blue eyes seemed to bore into her very soul, as if scrutinizing every detail of her being. His stare was unwavering, unblinking, and unapologetic.

Under the weight of his gaze, Aria felt a shiver run down her spine. Her heart raced slightly, and she sensed a flutter in her chest. She tried to maintain her composure, but the prince's unrelenting stare made her feel vulnerable, exposed, and slightly uncomfortable. "You may leave now, the princess said and Aria curtsied before she left, "what a weird man she thought as she walked out of study. The prince sat on his chair, deep in thought, he couldn't possibly begin to explain to himself since when he starting lusting and have lewd thoughts about his governess, the thought felt impossible but it was true, only he knew the thought in his head as he stared at the young lady in front of him, God knew the self control he exercised that stopped him from devouring the governess, he was not supposed to feel like this, especially if the feeling was directed towards his governess. He knew what he was going to do.

Later in the night, Aria had already finished bathing the little princess and getting her dressed for bed when she started throwing a tantrum calling prince Alexander's name and saying she wanted to see him, "just listen to me princess I'll go and get prince Alexander here right now, "pwamise, the princess said calming down with an adorable pout, "I promise, Aria said assuring the princess as she walked out of her room, leaving her in safe hands with the guards. Aria walked to the prince room and stood in front of it, there was no guard there so she knocked but there was no one answering, she however heard weird sounds coming from the room, was the prince in some kind of trouble, she thought, after several knocks she pushed the door and what she saw made her blood turn cold and all the blood drain from her face, the prince was hovering over princess Elaine and was doing something to her making both of them make those weird noise, "what the hell, princess Elaine said when someone badged into the room to interrupt their moment and she turned to see Aria by standing there pale, hearing the Princess voice Aria panicked and ran out. She leaned on the wall her heart racing so fast, she tried taking a deep breath to calm down but it didn't work, after some seconds she managed to calm down a little bit, "what did I just see, Aria asked herself, before she could continue in her trail of thoughts the door to the prince room opened and the prince stood in front of her, his whole chest in the open simply because he didn't button up the shirts, his attractive body peeping through the shirt, he looked all sweaty and his hair ruffled, "what do you want, he asked roughly, "t.....the little princess would not stop crying until she saw y......, "let's go the prince said cutting her off as he started walking towards princess Sophia's room, ".

They both got into the room and princess Sophia excitedly ran to hug the prince legs, "my princess I'm here with you, and I won't go anywhere I promise, the prince said smiling at her. "Alexander! story" the little princess said, the only name she could pronounce strongly was Alexander's name, "where are her night times story, prince Alexander asked Aria, "they are here Aria said as she rushed to the table picked them and brought it to the prince, the prince and little princess got on the bed, as the prince began to read bedtime stories for the little princess. "Aria cwam" the little princess said gesturing that Aria should come and join them on the bed beside her, Aria was going to decline but halted at the prince's command, "just come and lay beside her, the prince said impatiently, Aria sat beside laid beside the princess with her head on the headboard, the prince began reading and she couldn't deny that the prince voice was soothing and also making her feel sleepy, before she knew it she was already sleeping.

The prince kept on reading, he then realized that the two ladies were asleep, he tucked the little princess in and pecked her on her right cheek, he turned to the governess side and picked her up, he was going to drop her in her room before going to sleep, this lady was messing up with him, he thought as he stared at her, he wanted to get over his lust for her by having some moments with the princess and just in the middle of their intercourse she walked in, where heavens trying to play a game with him. He walked to Aria's room and pushed the door open, the room smelled of her, strawberry and pine. He climbed the bed with her so as to steadily drop her on the bed without loosing balance. Immediately he dropped her Aria's eyes fluttered open and she noticed the prince's face close to her and his hand still behind her back and the other under her thighs keeping her together
