Pride had her out on that balcony.
Just simple pride.
She couldn't stand it anymore. Watching all of those brainless dolts fawning all over him.
Like Almeria.
Especially Almeria.
Almeria D'Johar. The daughter of the Foreign Relations Director, Dogan D'Johar.
She was a brainless, airheaded idiot.
And she also happened to be beautiful. Long flowing blonde hair and blue eyes. It was her only redeeming quality.
And she was all over him.
Well he was the Crown Prince after all. But that was still no excuse to literally drape herself all over him like a throw rug!
Teela Raine Kadari snarled her pert nose up at the thought. It was also unbearably hot in the Master Ballroom. Grabbing a glass of wine, she had escaped onto the hidden balcony. The cool Eternian breeze wafted across her skin, cooling her.
Calming her.
She looked up at the twin moons, and wondered when her feelings towards him had fully changed? She had grown up with him, been his playmate, and his body guard. He annoyed her; he was oft lazy, and tended to avid conflict.
He was also kind, loving, had an amazing body. Was one of the most handsome men on the planet.
And he was her best friend.
Her only close friend.
And she was in love with him. The one person she couldn't have.
Gales of laughter drifted out onto the balcony as the soft wish of the double doors announced that someone had joined her. The soft click as they shut was almost imperceptible.
Teela knew who it was without turning around. And her warriors' training was so adept, that she knew he was standing behind her.
And he was alone
She knew who it was without turning around.
"Almeria will miss you."
She instantly chided herself. Why had she said that?
Soft laughter sounded from him as he approached the balcony rail and tilted his Royal head up to gaze at the moons.
She stared at him, she couldn't help it.
Prince Adam Nickolas Arelai.
Of the Royal house of Arelai.
Heir to the High King of Eternos.
Adam turned towards Teela and smiled that goofy, lopsided grin.
"I realized you had left, I figured you were out here. Besides, Almeria is getting on my nerves. She hangs on me like a throw rug!"
He scrunched up his nose at the thought. Almeria, while beautiful, had the brains of a pond lily. Nice to look at, but nothing exciting was going on between the ears.
Teela, on the other hand was not only one of the most beautiful women in the kingdom. She was also one of the smartest. Adam adored conversing with people of good intellect. Which pretty much left Almeria and most of the other debutantes, out of the picture entirely?
"You look beautiful tonight by the way ". He said huskily
Teela felt herself flush, and wondered not for the first time why she let him do that to her. He had the ability to addle her wits, just by simply looking at her. Well he did have sexy eyes. But…..
"No, stop it!" her mind screamed at her.
She had to get a grip, she had to stop, or she was going to embarrass herself one day. She really was, and Elders help her if she did that. Yes she must simply stop having all of these thoughts about Adam of all people. She was just going to simply smile and walk straight past him back into that Ballroom. That was it that was the plan. Then she wouldn't be stuck out here, under the moonlight, with him!
She moved to leave and her heel caught in that damn monstrous dress the Queen had insisted she wear. O, the horror. Then she was falling down, falling towards the rail. Falling straight into his arms!
Well hell
Adam caught her slight form deftly. The look of disbelief and, fury, yes it was fury in her eyes before she fell was enough for him to chuckle deep down in his chest.
Elders she was magnificent. All that fiery red hair streaming down her back to her waist. The low cut of the blue dress showing off her more than ample cleavage. The snug way that dress clung to her every curve.
He held onto her, pulling her up against his chest, smiling into her radiant Green eyes.
"I know I'm irresistible and all, but Teela you don't have to literally jump my bones to get in my arms."
She gasped, and her porcelain white skin turned red. He could see the anger rising, could feel the heat run all the way up between their bodies. Well there was already heat, this was just hotter. O, she was going to blow. He held tight and waited.
She squirmed and tried to push him back and break the hold. He just smirked and tightened his arms.
Her eyes widened slightly, when had he gotten so strong? His arms felt like cords of steel. Unbreakable.
And she was very intimately pressed against him. Her chest pressed so maddeningly close to his. Every time she breathed, her breasts strained between them. She couldn't stand to be bested, or restrained. Not to mention the fact that if she didn't get loose...
She had the most incredible urge to melt into his embrace, to lean in slightly. To….
"Damn it Adam, if you don't let me go this instant, I am going to hurt you."
He laughed at her
He actually looked her straight in the eyes and laughed at her.
"O, that tares it" she huffed as she fought anew to get loose. She slowly realized that it was no good, she was trapped!
Adam just held on and let her squirm.
Hey it was fun.
Sure as hell the best entertainment he'd had all evening.
Besides when she moved, those luscious breasts of hers were o, so sweetly pressed against his chest. And her body sure as hell felt a lot better draped over his than Almeria's had.
She felt her whole body tingle. Ok she had to get loose. Another plot formed into her head. Just go limp. Quit fighting. Yes that was it. Then when he loosens his grip, make a break for it!
Yes that would work.
She softened against him, the stiffness leaving her body, and was shocked even more on how right it felt to be there in his arms. O, heavens it felt so good.
He felt her body release and she melted into his. He could feel himself responding to her nearness. When had he started loving her? He thought it was when he was twelve. He was absolutely certain of it at sixteen. And now at twenty five he knew without a shadow of a doubt that he loved this willful, capable, fiery woman with all his heart.
His best friend,
His love.
Teela looked up into his eyes, thoroughly planning to bolt free as she felt his arms loosen some.
And she froze.
The look in his beautiful blue eyes stunned her. The passion, the longing. Looking into his eyes was like mirrors into hers.
He brought his hand up to cup her check and she felt herself leaning in so slightly.
O stars.
Adam touched his lips to her soft lips lightly at first. Then he increased the pressure, stroking the seam of her lips with his tongue, her mouth opened and he devoured her.
Twining her tongue with his.
Stroking, sucking.
He moved his hand to the back of her neck, keeping the other firmly on her waist. Coming up slightly for air he plunged back in.
Twisting and turning his lips, kissing her deeply from all angles. He possessed her mouth.
She moaned.
It was the most exhilarating experience of her life. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever think it would be like this.
It would be this good.
She had been kissed before. A peck on the check here, a smooch on the lips there.
But never had she been kissed by a man the way her Prince was kissing her now.
When his lounge had caressed her lips, she had been hesitant, not sure what to do. It was like her body took all control over her. And responded
Her mouth opened and he claimed her.
She felt herself moan and his answering moan and never wanted to stop.
Adam had managed to somehow shift them, to move them back from the railing to the wall beside the patio doors. The cool marble cupping her back as the Prince of Eternos cupped her front.
His lips left hers and kissed a fiery path down her neck up to her ear, then back to her lips.
Where his kiss finally softened into the sweetest meshing of lips. So soft, so powerful.
He finally pulled back slightly and stared at her in amazement.
They were both breathing heavy, and he was so rattled. Never had any woman ever felt this good in his arms.
Bringing his hand back up to cup her cheek, he saw the haze of passion slowly ebbing from her eyes, replaced with.
Confusion
"Adam WH... what... I…"
He smiled down into her face and held her tight. Pulling her into a hug.
She held onto him for dear life.
Pulling back he released her, and took her small hands into his. Her prince smiled at her and said the words she never thought she would ever hear from his lips.
"Thought you were gonna get loose, didn't ya" he said with that lopsided grin of his.
Well hell!
