Liam had to fight a chuckle as he left a fuming Madeleine behind him. He had a speech to deliver after the nobels made a toast. He wasn't going to worry about Madeleine hopefully once Madeleine realized that Riley didn't care about the title she'd back off. He doubted it though Madeleine didn't seem to get it or maybe she just really wanted it all. For the first time since he was crowned Liam was looking forward to a day in his office. He listened to the speeches each noble house gave. It was the same boring stuff they said every year. It made him wonder how many actually meant what they said. Then it came time for house Beaumont he had noticed the panicked look on Bertrand's face before he spoke. Thankfully Maxwell stepped in before he could reveal more of his feelings for Savannah Walker.
Then Riley stepped in saying, "First, I'd like to thank the Brothers Beaumont for inviting me here to this beautiful country. Next, I'd like to thank King Father Constantine and Queen Mother Regina for welcoming me into their lovely homes. Also, for allowing me the opportunity to clear my name on the engagement tour. I'd also like to thank Both Hana and Drake for not only being my friends but, for helping me out when I needed it. Finally, I'd like to thank King Liam for making me feel at home here in Cordonia. Long may you Reign. To Cordonia's future may tomorrow be brighter than today!"
Drake walked over to Liam during the speech stopping to stand next to his longtime friend. Drake whispers, "What's caused that uprising you've got going on in your pants?" Liam quickly looks down and blushes. He had felt his pants tighten but, he hadn't thought it had been that bad. He quickly and discreetly adjusts himself before replying, "Riley gave me a vocabulary lesson." Drake raised an eyebrow looking at Liam as if he'd lost his mind. "So a word has you ready for action", he asked disbelievingly. Then he added, "What word was it?" Liam replied, "Nooner." Drake literally choked oh his drink for a moment before asking, "What was that?" Liam responded, "Nooner! Don't tell me you don't know what the word means?" Drake shakes his head before saying, "I am guessing you have been thinking of all the things you can do in your office." Liam nodded "Guilty as charged", he muttered. "Well then what are you waiting for? Take her for a stroll to discuss her duties", Says Drake. Liam can only nod as his mind fills with things he wants to do with his wife.
Maxwell had just joined Drake and Liam as the king walked away rather quickly. Maxwell asked, "Where's he going he has a speech soon!" Drake replied, "He just learned a new word and wants to make sure he knows how to use it correctly." Maxwell smiled saying, "Oh so that is why little blossom when with him. I'm sure I could have helped him practice." For the second time that night Drake almost choked on his whiskey. "Maxwell, Liam wouldn't want your help he's not into men," Drake says right before whispering "it was a sexual word that only Riley can help him with." Maxwell's eyes widen asking, "what was the word?" "Nooner," Drake says in a hushed tone. Maxwell left Drake highly confused not sure if Drake would explain what the word meant or not.
Liam had made his way to Riley as quickly as he could without looking suspicious. When he finally reached her he took her hand and kissed it. He smiled saying, "Let's go for a stroll and I'll explain all your duties to you." Riley noticed the desire and heat in his eye so she nodded and let him lead her out of the ballroom and into the hedge maze. To his credit, Liam does explain her duties as they walk towards the center of the maze. He also can't seem to keep his hands off of her either. All teasing brief touches that only seemed to make her ache for him. Liam needed Riley desperately he growled in her ear, "I haven't been able to stop thinking about all the things we can do in my office together." He spun her around to face him and pulled her into him tightly. His lips crash into hers in a heated and passionate kiss. He pushes her into the wall behind her wrapping her legs around his waist. His lips leave hers moving along her jawline eventually nipping at her ear.
"Liam", she groaned. Her hands unbuckling his belt and opening the buttons on his shirt. Her hands moved over his exposed chest before wrapping around his neck. She could feel him trembling with need. She could feel his breath on her neck as he pressed his lips to her shoulders. "Liam", She gasped before saying, "Take me I'm yours." Liam's hand rushed to his pants and quickly unbuttoned and unzipped. He pulled his pants and boxers down quickly. His hand grabbed her leg hooking it to his hip as it slid up her thigh. His finger pushed the material of her underwear aside brushing across her wet folds. "God you're so wet for me", he groaned. Not being able to resist any longer he pushed into her muttering, "Fuck." His fingers moved to her clit rubbing circles against the nub as he gave her a moment to adjust. Riley rocked her hips gently to let Liam know she was ready. He lifted her other leg to his hip and angled her slightly. He then started thrusting knowing full well he'd hit the spot that would cause her to cum hard and fast. "Oh god, Liam", Riley gasped before claiming his lips with hers in a heated kiss. Riley came hard and fast his desire and need fueling her own allowing her to reach the end quickly. Liam reached his release the moment he felt Riley clench tightly around him. He continued to thrust until he unloaded everything. "I love you, Liam," She said while looking into his eyes. Liam replied, "I love you too" allowing his body time to recover.
With a regretful sigh, he let Riley back down on the ground. He fixed himself back up before helping her get put back together. Once they were both presentable he said, "It's time to return to the ball, my love." Riley nodded returning to the ballroom with him. She grabbed a glass of champagne just in case she needed one and waited for Liam's speech. Liam approached the podium saying, "First I'd like to congratulate lady Riley on her new position as my assistant. I look forward to working with her. Second Madeleine and I have yet to decide on a date for the wedding yet but, we will let you know once a date has been secured." Liam was about to continue when masked men barged into the ballroom. Several ran straight for him in the fight for his life he lost track of Riley. He hoped she'd be alright as he tried to focus on the men attacking him. Soon to his horror, he was being led out by Bastien to a waiting Limo Madeleine had been shoved into the same vehicle.
Liam looked at the red stain on her dress asking, "Are you hurt?" Madeleine replied, "The blood isn't mine. It belongs to the person who knocked me out of the way. That man was going to kill me the nerve of him. How dare he doesn't he know who I am?!" "Who saved you," Liam asked. Madeleine waived her hand dismissively before replying, "It's not important." Liam glared at her asking angerly, "Do you care about anyone other than yourself Madeleine? You know it's only Riley that believes that you'd make a great queen. I disagree with her and you are just proving my point, Madeleine." He turns to Bastien saying, "See what you can find out. I want to know if anyone got hurt!" "Understood sir," Bastien replied he knew who the king was most interested in finding out about. He'd do all he could to get Liam the answers he needed. Once they arrived at the safe house Bastien rushed Liam and Madeleine into the building.
