THE QUEEN’S FORBIDDEN ROMANCE

**Chapter 5: “Come To Me Tonight”**

Michael kissed her like he was starving and she was the only thing that could save him.

Lila kissed him back just as hard. Her hands were in his hair, pulling him closer. She had never been kissed like this before. The king had never kissed her like this. No one had.

Michael’s hands moved down her back and grabbed her ass, squeezing it through the thin black dress. He pulled her even closer so she could feel how hard he was against her stomach.

“f**k, Lila,” he groaned against her mouth. “You have no idea what you’re doing to me.”

She could barely think. Her whole body was on fire. The ache between her legs was so strong it almost hurt.

Michael broke the kiss and looked at her. His eyes were dark and hungry. “I want to taste you. Right now.”

Before she could answer, he lifted her up and carried her to the big couch near the window. He laid her down gently and pushed her dress up to her waist.

Lila felt shy for a second. She had never been this exposed in front of anyone. But the way Michael was looking at her made the shyness disappear.

“You’re so beautiful,” he said softly. “And so f*****g wet already.”

He lowered his head between her legs.

The first lick made Lila’s back arch off the couch. She let out a loud moan. His tongue was hot and slow and perfect. He licked her like he was enjoying every second of it.

“Oh my God…” she whispered.

Michael groaned against her. “You taste so good, baby.”

He licked and sucked and kissed her there until her legs started shaking. She had touched herself before, but it had never felt like this. This was different. This was someone wanting her. Really wanting her.

Her hands went to his hair. She couldn’t stop moaning. She didn’t even care how loud she was being.

Michael slid one finger inside her while his tongue kept working on that sensitive spot. Lila cried out.

“That’s it,” he murmured. “Let me hear you.”

She was getting close. So close. Her whole body was tightening.

Then he sucked on her gently and she fell apart.

Lila came with a loud moan, her body shaking, her hands gripping his hair. It was the strongest orgasm she had ever had. Waves of pleasure crashed through her. For a few seconds, she couldn’t even think.

When she finally opened her eyes, Michael was looking up at her with a satisfied smile.

“First one,” he said. “I’m not done with you yet.”

He stood up and started unbuttoning his shirt. Lila watched him, still breathing hard. His chest was hard and smooth. She wanted to touch him.

Michael took off his shirt and dropped it on the floor. Then he unbuckled his belt.

Lila sat up a little. “Wait… I’ve never… I mean, with anyone else…”

He paused and looked at her. His face softened. “You’re a virgin?”

She nodded, feeling embarrassed. “The king never… we never did anything.”

Michael’s eyes darkened, but not with anger. With something else. Something protective.

“Then we’re going to take this slow,” he said gently. “I want your first time to be good. Really good.”

He leaned down and kissed her again, slower this time. His hands moved over her body, touching her breasts through the dress, pinching her n*****s gently until she moaned into his mouth.

Lila reached for his pants and unbuttoned them. She could feel how hard he was. She wanted to touch him. She wanted to make him feel as good as he was making her feel.

Michael helped her pull his pants down. He was wearing black boxers, and the bulge was obvious.

She looked up at him. “Can I… touch you?”

He smiled. “You can do whatever you want to me, Lila.”

She reached inside his boxers and wrapped her hand around him. He was thick and hot and hard. Michael let out a low groan.

“f**k… your hand feels so good.”

Lila stroked him slowly, watching his face. She loved how he reacted to her. She loved that she could make him feel this way.

Michael kissed her again, deeper this time. He pushed her dress all the way off. Now she was completely naked on his couch.

He pulled back and looked at her body like it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

“I’m going to make you feel so good,” he promised.

He was about to climb on top of her when Lila’s phone started ringing loudly from the floor.

The special ringtone she had set for the palace.

Lila froze.

Michael looked at her. “Ignore it.”

She wanted to. God, she wanted to. But something in her gut told her she should check.

The phone kept ringing.

Lila bit her lip. “It might be important…”

Michael sighed but nodded. “Go ahead.”

She reached down and grabbed her phone from her coat pocket. It was the king’s assistant again.

Her stomach dropped.

She answered with a shaky voice. “Hello?”

“Your Majesty,” the assistant said urgently. “The king is waiting in the throne room. He said it’s an emergency. He wants you there in fifteen minutes. He’s… not happy that you’re not answering your phone.”

Lila closed her eyes.

Of all nights. Of all moments.

She looked at Michael. He was still standing there, half-naked, looking at her with dark, hungry eyes.

She had a choice.

Stay and finally feel alive… or go back to being the sad, lonely queen.

“I… I’ll be there,” she said into the phone.

She hung up.

Michael was watching her. “You have to go?”

Lila nodded, feeling like she might cry. “The king is asking for me. He sounds angry.”

Michael ran a hand through his hair. “Fuck.”

He walked over and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her forehead gently.

“This isn’t over,” he said quietly. “Not even close.”

Lila looked up at him. “I don’t want to leave.”

“I know.” He kissed her one more time, slow and deep. “But go. Before you get in trouble. We’ll finish this another night.”

He helped her get dressed. His hands were gentle.

Before she left, he pulled her close one last time.

“Text me when you get back to the palace,” he said. “And Lila… this isn’t the end. This is just the beginning.”

She nodded, her heart hurting.

Then she walked out of the penthouse, legs still shaky, body still buzzing from everything he had done to her.

As the elevator doors closed, she touched her lips where he had kissed her.

She had never felt this alive.

And now she had to go back to pretending she was fine.

Her phone buzzed with a new message from Michael.

**Michael:** Next time, you’re not leaving until I’m done with you.

Lila smiled for the first time all night.

But deep down, she knew one thing for sure.

She was in trouble, like a big trouble.

And she didn’t know if she could stop.
