Prologue
Six years ago....
Something's wrong
Selene Agnieszka, Princess of Aigio thought as she heard footsteps towards the cave of hearts. It was called the cave of hearts because it was love shaped and she was meeting with Alexandro in there.
They'd never met in the cave in the afternoon, it was always at night when the palace in both Kingdom will be busy with their prime minister's and the king talking about politics and war or sometimes festival by which Selene's absence when it comes to war and politics won't be noticed. Unlike Alexandro's because he was their crown prince.
It was risky to meet outside the palace especially now that her father had forbidden her from seeing Alexandro because of the crisis going on between the two kingdoms.
She was interrupted by his footsteps in the cave. “Selene where are you?”
"Here" she smiled, “verything okay at home?
Alexandro saw the concern lacing the question and cursed himself for what he was about to do.
"Ναί.. Yes— everything's okay... I just wanted to see you about something." He said.
“Can't it wait?” Selene murmured seductively playing with the buttons on his shirt, “Because I have far more important matters that needs my attention or should I say hand?” She said looking at his erection
Alexandro cursed and drew her to him... “Tha gíneis o thánatos mou!” you're going to be the death of me!
“Alexandro...” She swayed and soon they were kissing.
It was a smouldering kiss with an erotic promise that made Selene's body quake and shudder with want.
Her breasts felt full and sensitive behind the lace of her bra. Her knickers were damp - and she could feel the moisture seeping from her and wondered if he had any idea of how much sensual power he had over her plus she wanted his hands all over her body.
Alexandro's mouth left hers and began to trail down her throat as he began to undress her. "Téleios" he groaned, “And you're mine.”
His mouth continued its passionate exploration of her body and she felt like she would die if he wasn't inside her at that moment.
"i want you inside me Alexandro" she said in between pants, “Tóra—now!” she said.
"patience, gynaíka mou" He said, “I intend to savour this moment”
He moved her hand so he could access her body, taking his time to caress her until she was swollen and wet.
Her need for him was a consuming ache that intensified with every movement of his fingers.
She writhed beneath him, restless to feel him inside her, wanting him to possess her so they both experienced the rapture of this physical union.
And finally he entered her, with a thrust that caused her body to convulse with pleasure, his deep groan of pleasure filled the room as she began to ride him faster.
Her shrieks of ecstasy rose until she mashed herself into him and he felt her shatter around him. And his own o****m was building up too....
“Come with me...” she urged
And he did, burying himself to her womb and surrendering to the most violent o****m he’d ever known even with her, filling her with his essence.
Selene waited till they dressed before she teased, “this was worth the risk, agapé mou.”
But the look on Alexandro's face caused her to bite her tongue - Something was definitely wrong.
“No” He said without looking at her, “This was actually the closure we both needed before i told you that I'm getting married” He said in a cold voice.
Selene felt the slap of his word. And stared at him like she was looking at her worst nightmare, “you're getting married? She repeated dumbly, “And yet you came here and made love to me."
"That i regret selene" he said ,still not looking at her “and I'm deeply sorry” He made to move towards her but he must have seen something in her eyes because he stooped on his tracks, “we both knew that this will not last."
She felt the pain of each word he spoke like a knife cutting deep into her skin, and worse, she stood there and watched her tormentor continue with his torment. The only man she'd loved... Her first lover and best friend. But this was a different version of Alexandro that she has not seen. The one her people had called "Kardiá kai alazonikí —Heartless and arrogant"
“Selene—” He said and looked at her, “My people would never accept you as their princess and Queen”
“One like me” She repeated numbly
“One who is a half breed— A princess of Aigio” Selene staggered.
He had thrown her heritage back in her face.
“So you've been making— having s*x with me while you were engaged to another woman?” He gritted his teeth together, “It doesn't—”
“Bástardos! Eísai aimatirós bástardos!” she shouted at him. He opened his mouth to talk but she couldn't wait for him to finish as she did one thing that could save her from him.
She fled......
