The Alpha and His Cursed Princess

Chapter 26

His smile became set, his gaze piercing. “ Are you sure Princess?”

“Archie my name is Amelia,” he said holding his eyes steadily.

She wanted him to kiss the woman she was not the public persona the so-called Princess, daughter of the long lifeline of monarchs. and a famous socialite.

Amelia read comprehension in his eyes and knew that for some reason he did not want to make the move. She did not even know why it was so important to her. Tension sparked the silence between them turning it heavy with desire.

“Do you know what you are asking for Amelia?” he said a raw note altering in his voice and sending little shudders down her spine.

Yes,"  she said confidently. “yes I know what I want but do you know what you want Archie?”

Something flickered in the dark eyes and brought a half-mocking smile to the wicked mouth with its narrow top lip  raised a little. “A  kiss."  he said softly. "And I'm not asking Amelia I am taking what you have been silently promising me since we danced together at the wedding.”

He drew her towards him. she put a hand on his chest looking up into an intense chiseled face. on a thrill that was half fear half anticipation, she thought he looked like a hunter, hunting its prey.

Shocked by a sudden rather shameless relief she nodded. yet when he made no more moves,  she was filled with shyness. Hot and embarrassing color stole along her cheekbones but she met his eyes without wavering as she wanted him to know that she was ready.

Although his eyes were still fiercely predatory his voice become became gentler. “Are you alright?”

“Yes," Amelia whispered.

And when he bent his head and claimed her mouth with his own she pressed against him leaning into him as he gathered her against him. hot sensation evolved inside her in a rush of adrenaline, his hands these two of him the faint barely there fragments that was his alone filled her nostrils. Her Knees buckled and he tightened his grip bringing her even closer to his powerful fully aroused body. He pushed his tongue inside her closed mouth and probed his tongue sensually around her mouth and Amelia's heart beat raced rapidly. 

Archie lifted his head and looked down into his into her eyes that were slumberous almost dazed with passion their blue depths mysteriously dark. gritting his teeth against a hungry surge of triumph he tried to control  the primitive impulse to carry her across to the bed a few meters away and take her then and there because Casper was going mad inside him and if he lost his sanity he wouldn't be able to control himself.

It was too open in the balcony and she deserved better than a hasty violent consummation.

 But he couldn't resist the enticement of her soft lips when he lowered his head and claimed them again she melted into him without resistance and openly  surrendered herself to him, setting off an effect that affected his very rowdy cell.

He managed to stop it and  looked into her huge round eyes,  in a voice that probably sounded as taut and explosive as he felt.

 “ Amelia we have to stop this right now or it will be too late.”

Her lashes fell slowly, trembled against the skin as translucent as the finest silk but when she lifted them again she was once more in command of herself.

“Do we have to stop, “she said in a Husky note in her voice giving her away.

Archie found himself wishing he had taken the chance for the first time he had lost control been tempted to follow his desires because of Casper and this was the consequence.

Controlling his hunger he released her and tried to summon his usual detached attitude. the aftermath of the storm unlike anything he had ever experienced made it near impossible.

Who would have thought the reserve ice Princess would show all the instinct of a wild woman?

No, most wild women had their eyes firmly on their bank balances,  bargaining s*x for security but Amelia had offered herself ardently and without reserve.

And then he wondered whether she would have been so passionately willing if they hadn't spoken about her brother.

Even as the thought formulated he knew it wasn't likely to be like that. she seemed convinced that Lucas and his friends were going on adventures and taking care of the people's problems, he also guessed and had warned Harry about the possibility on his borders but why was he so concerned about it?

However, he had to assume that she might have been lying. an inner revulsion at the thought forced him to realize how much he wanted to trust her. Confused he looked down into her face and saw with savage satisfaction that she was too she was struggling for control. The ache in his groin intensified into a plea, a demand almost a command. Casper was getting over him but he fought it back because he did not dare give his innermost instinct free rein or it would create something very messy.

He had to think about Harry and Kristine if he did not make any effort to find out whether Amelia knew anything or  any type of information that could lead them to the people who are backing her brother and his friends. despite the efforts, he and Harry still weren't sure who was pulling the strings or why although they had their suspicion. if the Princess knew anything about it he would make sure to find about it.  Even if it meant seducing her into pillow talk Then it would have to be done. It was quite literally a matter of life and death not only for her brother and his friends but for many others.  And he won't let it happen as they lived in a world filled with humans and they should avoid blood-shed as much as they can.
