The sound of her steps echoed on her head . How could he played her like that? All this years… He didn't mind keeping they relationship in the shadows because he NEVER wanted to be openly with her… Probably he has a girlfriend somewhere… Stupid, stupid, stupid! Surely, his ego was higher than the Empire State: THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN REDUZE THE ICE QUEEN, INTO A STUPID TEENAGER! Clarisse was so mad, furious, hurt… Her life turn up side down in a few days. She was ready to fight for they love… and he turn down… Well, he's a Bourbon, for heaven's sake. Why? She went to her suite and walked toward the window. The moonlight filled the room… Suddenly an hand hugged her by the waist and the other covered her mouth. She tried to scream…

"Shhh, Clarisse it's me… Please" Joseph took his hand from her mouth.

"How dare you? You scare me to death. Get out!"

"No!" And he covered her mouth again

"You have to listen to me. I love you more than my own life and I can't lose you!" She tried to loosen up from his arms, without success.

"Stop it, Clarisse! I didn't lie to you. I… When I came work at the palace, that doesn't seem important. My father was an illegitimate son from , uncle of D. Juan Carlos, former King of Spain. Before become king, Juan Carlos was on exile at Cascais, in Portugal. And so as my family. We become close there. We are best friends but then, an horrible accident take the life of the crown prince, , Juan Carlos oldest brother… Juan was cleaning an hunting weapon and then a shot… Juan Carlos still blame herself until now. That tragedy changed him forever. A few years later, General Franco send him to Spain and give him back the throne. My parents stayed for three more years at Portugal and things will never be the same between us. So, I didn't tell you in the beginning… and than… It never seemed to be the right time… I'm sorry, my love!"

Clarisse was very quiet… He let her go gently. She looked at his eyes and she took a step backwards… And slapped him.

"Liar"

"Clarisse, think about it for a minute…" He grabbed her hands but she's walked away.

"You're a liar and I don't believe you! Go away!" She pic up a jar and throw her to him. Joseph lowered and the jar smashed into million pieces at the wall.

"I don't go! I love and you got to believe me!"

"Clarisse, grant me a wish! … How stupid can I be? Not anymore, Joseph. Not anymore!"

"Clarisse…" She throw him a book, a frame, a little statue, her shoes…

"Clarisse, stop it. You're destroying your room, my love!"

"Don't call me that"

He jump over the sofa and grabbed her by the waist and his left hand grabbed her right arm, so she can't move anymore.

"Why are you so mad with me, dear?"

"Let me go, Joseph! You lie to me!"

"No! I just didn't tell you I'm a cousin of the former King of Spain … It will be different between us if you know it?"

"How dare…"

"I love you so much, Clarisse! You're Mine!" He whispered in her ear and she closed her eyes. But then, the door opened and Mark, who was outside the Queen's suite come in and pointed a gun to Joseph.

"Sir, release the Queen, kneel and put your hands above your head."

"Mark, are you…" But Joseph didn't finish and went two steps backwards.

"Mark, how dare you to speak like that to your Head of Security. Drop the gun right now"

"Now, Sir! Your Majesty, come closer. I can ensure your safety."

"Mark… Give me your gun!" Joseph walked toward him.

"Not even a word, Sir! Don't make me pulled the trigger." And Mark turned the gun to Clarisse.

"Mark, I will Kill you…"

"Sir, put this handcuffs on your wrists behind your back. And kneel! I won't tell you anymore!"

Clarisse was terrified. Joseph kneel and put the handcuffs.

"Now Your Majesty…"

"Don't touch her!" Joseph was out of his mind.

"Or…? I'm sick of you! How do you think you are? How? You're pathetic! Do you think I'm blind? Do you think I didn't see you touch her? She a beautiful woman! So sweet! I just love the smell of your sheets…

"Now you're a dead man!" Said Joseph

"No I'm not!"

Without hesitation, Clarisse put herself in front to Joseph.

"Your Majesty… Clarisse, please… walk toward me." Said Mark

"No!"

"Please, I will take good care of you! I'm forty six years old. I can fill all your needs and desires. I'm the right man to you!"

"How dare you?" And when Mark lifted his hand with the gun, Shades who was at the door waiting for an opportunity to hit Mark, grabbed his arm, and take him into jail.

"Are you mad? How can you think you can do such a thing?" Said Shades.

"This is not over, Joseph! I will take your place! You'll see!"

"I talk to you latter, you fool! Take him out of here, Shades!"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Wait" Said Clarisse. "We need the keys."

Shades searched in his pockets.

"Here they are, Your Majesty. If you don't need anything, I'll take him into a cell!"

"Thank you, Shades! I will stay with the Queen. We talk about this later."

"Of course, Sir! If you excuse me…" Shades leave the room and Clarisse locked the door.

Joseph was up at his feet's and waited until Clarisse unlock the handcuffs.

"I really don't know… Maybe if I let you stay like that for a while…"

"Clarisse! That's cruelty… Please, my love… Do you want me to kneel? Do you want me to beg? I'm your… slave…" said Joseph with a husky voice.

"Don't forget your words…" She whispered in his ear and unlock the cuffs.

He grabbed her by her waist, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss. She looped her arms his neck…

"I'm sorry, my love. I'm so sorry!"

"Shut up and kiss me! We can discuss that later…"

"As you wish, my Queen!"

He kissed her lips and neck, causing her to arch her body against his, before he picked her up and carrying her to the bedroom.

"I want you so badly, Clarisse!" and he laying her on the bed, gently.

"You do?"

"Don't tease me, Clarisse! Or I will not be able to control myself…"

He kneel on the bed, near her hips and start to unbuttoning his shirt. without taking her eyes from him Clarisse did the same, revealing a black silk bra.

"Beautiful!" He put his arm around her back and bring her up, a little, to take her shirt of.

"My God, Clarisse! You are so beautiful!" he said before nibble her shoulder, causing her to moaning. He take his shirt of too and unzipped her skirt and, slowly, pulled her to her feet's.

"Ho my God, Clarisse, this garters turn me on!"

"You are overdressed, my love!" In a second, Joseph undressed his pants, his, socks and his boxer's.

"Not anymore!" and he leaned into her, kissing her lips, her neck, shoulders, her breasts… she arched her back and the bra was out… His hands running down her back, to her waist, hips, bottom, to her thighs… wait… Up again… her bottom… where was the silk? Just her smooth skin… He lift his head and Clarisse bit her bottom lip…

"Clarisse… You are using a… G-string?"

"Don't you like it?"

"What? I…? You… Ho my God! I can't resist you anymore, Clarisse!"

Clarisse ran her fingernails down his chest, making his shiver.

"I want you so badly, Joseph!" She whisperer… And his hard member began to move slowly against her lower body…

"Make love to me, Joseph! I want You! Made me scream out you name! I'm Yours, my love!"

"Ho yes, my Queen… You're Mine!"
