Ben POV

The conference between Auradon and the Kingdom of Corona left me drained.
Any decisions that could affect another Kingdom has to be discussed and approved by them.

However as the Isle was located within Auradon's territory I had some wiggle room to do as I saw best.

Mal and I had agreed to meet when I was done and discuss our next course of action.

The last time she had sat in my office was still running through my head and I found myself wishing I had taken up her offer for alcohol.

Despite production of alcohol being illegal in Auradon yet it never stopped some of the wealthier families from having it in large quantities. I tried to think back to before everything went wrong and couldn't help but blame it on myself. I was overly jealous, and neglectful. Maybe if I would have stopped to actually look at her I would have realized she wasn't smiling anymore.

I couldn't help but blame myself for it. I lost control and blew up on her for every little thing that set me off.
It took her leaving and sleeping with that pirate to make me realize it, and I was terrified it was too late to fix things.

Lately I had been staying inside my office, the dorm rooms were across the campus and I was too exhausted to go there and back.

Grabbing a new button up I began to unbutton the one I was already wearing when the door opened.

I looked up and smiled.

"Hey Mal, just a sec, the meeting lasted forever."
Her eyes trailed down my chest before she swallowed and spoke.

"Sure no problem."
Had she been anyone else she would have been blushing but this was Mal.

The girl could kill a guy and make it look like an accident without flinching.

Something I was realizing I just now had begun to understand.

With a boost of confidence I stepped closer to her.
"Mal? Your eyes are flashing again"

She blinked once or twice before stepping closer to me.

"This is probably going to bite me in the ass… Fuck it."

She crossed the rest of the distance and gripped my hair pulling my face down to hers.

Her lips were just as soft as I remembered and I gave myself over to the sensation.

This girl was mine and I'd be insane if I let her go again.

I gripped her hair and pushed her back until she was against my desk.

Mal's chest was rising and falling as she tried to catch her breathe.

Her eyes met mine and I began to lose myself in them as my hand gripped her thigh.

"Mal I want you"
I breathed pressing my body against her.

She pushed against me and jumped up to sit on the desk before grabbing me and pulling me closer.

Her glowing green eyes met mine and she smirked.

"Then prove it."

Mal POV

I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him flush against me.

"Prove it princeling"
He grinned and nipped at my bottom lip.

"It's King now."

He emphasized his words by rolling his hips against me.

I ran my hands up and down his chest.

"Take my shirt off Ben."

He ran his hands down my sides, fingers brushing against my chest before reaching under the seam of my shirt.

With a flick of my finger the lock on the door clicked shut.

He raised my shirt up inch by inch his knuckles grazing my skin.

Just the simple touch gave me chills and I ground my core against him.

Ben reached behind me and pushed all the paperwork to the floor as my shirt went over my head.

"Your beautiful Mal"
He dipped his head down and placed open mouth kisses down my chest.

I tugged on his shirt unbuttoning it with one hand while I tugged at his hair with the other.

His mouth nipped at my breast before scraping his teeth across the seam of my bra.

"Lay back for me Mal."
She laid back on the desk her hand leaving my hair long enough to unhook her bra before she pulled my lips down to meet hers.

I chuckled and kissed her tugging off my shirt.

Mal took a shaky breath and leaned back.

I leaned down running my tongue along her skin before I captured one of her nipples in between my lips.

Her gasps encouraged me as I licked, sucked, and kissed down her body stopping just at her waist.

"I want to taste you Mal"

She lowered her hands down to undo her belt, her fingertips sparked green magic drawing my attention.

"Your sparking Mal?"

She looked at me before following my line of sight.

"It's okay I won't hurt you Ben, I think it's harmless."

I smiled and kissed her hand, excruciating pain radiated throughout my body and i tried to push her away but found I couldn't move.
Panic overcame her face as darkness took over and I fell.

"Ben!"

Her voice was the last thing I heard before everything went still.
