DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of The Royals characters, however I own some original characters that you'll get to know them one by one.

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry for being absent all this time... I can only blame it on college so please, you do the same thing!

First of all, Season 3 is the shit! It's amazing! Perfection! I can't believe they're finally giving us what we wanted from the start, the reason I started writing all these stories, the lack of Jaspenor. Now Jaspenor is everywhere! And it's so goddamn cute! I just can't! Anyone who wants to discuss the new season with me, just message me! ;)

And thank you thank you thank you to all you amazing and lovely people who kept asking about the stories and for all the new alerts and reviews. Love you all so much!

Here's the new chapter, I hope you enjoy it:

Chapter16_Desperation

These last couple of hours were all spent in a haze of distraction for Princess Eleanor. She was all smiles for the press and their guests but all she could concentrate was him. Her replies to the typical questions asked by the guests were already readied for her so she only had to repeat it back to them and think freely of Jasper.

The party had started for an hour or so but there was no sign of him anywhere. Maybe he was never going to show up. He could have not read her tweet or maybe he didn't understand what she meant by it. Maybe he had fled the country. Honestly, she had no idea.

As she was regretting her stupid decision while smiling and nodding at a war veteran, she sensed someone behind her. She hoped, just for a second, that it was him. Even Eleanor knew that it was only wishful thinking but then a voice reached her eager ears: "Princess?"

She recognized that voice, his voice, the one she had secretly fantasized about hearing once more. Without wasting any more time, she turned around and came face to face with Jasper and his charming smile.

She felt her heart flutter insanely and it seemed like everything and everyone around them had disappeared. He had made it. He had made his way back to her. And he was right in front of her, with his shiny blue eyes, and the warmest smile on the planet.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of gazing at him, things started to reshape around her and she came back down to the earth. The man she was talking to before had already bowed and left the Princess with the new guest and she couldn't be happier.

She wanted to say so many things to him, she had even thought about it, but standing there she couldn't let out something other than his name: "Jasper…" She felt her whole body shiver when his smile grew wider and he took her hand and put a lingering kiss on it, before saying: "At your service…"

She whispered, suddenly afraid everyone would realize who he was: "You made it…" Jasper slowly let her hand go and nodded in response. They both stood there, welcoming the silence forming around them, and analyzed the other one.

Eleanor had to admit that she had never seen him that handsome before and she gulped before she could stop herself. She could feel herself getting hotter at any second by just looking at him and she knew it wasn't going to end well.

Jasper was eyeing the Princess up and down as well. She looked more beautiful than all those times he had seen her before, if that was even possible. He noticed she wasn't wearing a typical short dress and her hair was simply loose around her face. How could she manage to look so breathtaking though?

He admitted before he could stop himself: "You look breathtaking tonight." Eleanor smiled shyly, like a little schoolgirl, and replied: "You don't look too bad yourself." Jasper chuckled and secretly repressed the need to kiss her right there and then.

Eleanor looked down, thinking about what she was going to say but then one of her bodyguards reached her and told her the Queen wanted her to meet someone. She looked at Jasper and said: "I'll be back. Don't go anywhere."

Jasper nodded and watched as she walked away from him, feeling a lump forming in his throat. Seeing her again was harder than he could've ever imagined. Just looking at her beautiful face was crushing him from the inside.

What was he thinking? Falling for the Princess? He wanted to kill himself from all the frustration bottling up inside of him but then he caught a glimpse of her laughing alongside the Queen and all he wanted to do was to live so he could see her like that for the rest of his life.

What the fuck was happening to Jasper Frost?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Eleanor was nodding in agreement but she wasn't even listening to the argument. All she could think about was Jasper alone in the crowd, waiting for her to come back. It had been exactly thirteen minutes since she had last seen him but it felt like hours to her.

Finally the general stopped talking and she whispered in her mother's ear that she was going to mingle in the crowd and walked away as fast as she could. Her eyes searched around and spotted him at the bar, drinking a glass of Scotch.

She started walking towards him that a certain someone stood in her way. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw Beck smiling brightly at her. She stammered: "Wh What are you doing here?" He shrugged and said: "I couldn't miss this, could I?"

Eleanor chuckled nervously and fixed her hair without even thinking about it. Beck's face got more serious as he let out: "I was so worried about you…" Eleanor gulped before saying: "I'm fine, Beck. Everything's fine."

He sighed and before she knew it, she was in his arms. Before the incident, she would've given anything to feel Beck's arms around her once more, but as her eyes found Jasper's hurt ones, she realized her priorities had changed without her even knowing it.

She pulled away and asked: "How's your wife?" Beck gave her a look but answered anyway: "Good. She's on tour again." Eleanor nodded and went to make an excuse to leave but then music came on and Beck asked: "Can I have this dance, Lenny?"

She knew turning him down to talk to a strange man would look suspicious to anyone who knew her so she smiled and took his hand. He led her to the dance floor and pulled her close to his body. Eleanor knew Jasper was watching them and she found herself praying that he wouldn't leave.

She wasn't looking up to Beck but her eyes were wandering around, landing on everyone but the one she wanted. Midway into the song, she was sure he had already left and she felt sadness spreading through her body.

Finally the song came to an end and she said a quick 'thank you' to Beck and tried to walk away but he held her arm asking: "Where are you going?" Eleanor huffed and answered: "I need a minute, alright?" Beck let her go and she gladly walked away, not knowing what had come over her.

She walked to the bar but there was still no sign of him anywhere. She sighed hopelessly and closed her eyes but she heard him right in her ear: "Looking for me?" She turned around and didn't even try to hide her joy.

She admitted: "I thought you left…" Jasper gave her a broken smile before saying: "Now why would I do that?" Eleanor pretended she didn't hear that and took his hand in hers and watched his face light up. She whispered: "I need you to follow me."

She walked ahead and pulled him towards the entrance of the palace. At that moment, she didn't care who saw her with that strange boy but she only thought about herself and the plan she had come up with after she had invited him. Princess Eleanor was going to forget Jasper. But she couldn't exactly do that without having closure, now, could she?

He was like an itch she couldn't scratch, a permanent frustration, but things were about to change. She was going to let him into her room, and she was going to let him fuck her. And hopefully by tomorrow morning, she would be cured of this insane attraction. She never wanted things she had already played with anyway.

Her bodyguards gathered behind them and she huffed before she ordered them all away. Soon, they were silently moving in the palace, towards her room. Jasper already knew where she was taking him and he hated to admit it but he was a bit nervous. But the look she gave him before she let him in the room made him forget all about it.

"Cozy room you have, Princess." He joked and Eleanor chuckled before signing him to sit down next to her. Jasper obeyed and stared at her as she poured two glasses of Champagne and gave one to him. He clicked his glass with hers before saying 'cheers' and drank a bit.

He noticed Eleanor was dangerously leaning in towards him and he couldn't stop the words coming out of his mouth: "What are you doing?" Eleanor raised an eyebrow and said: "I was simply signaling that you can kiss me, Jasper."

Jasper gulped silently and watched as Eleanor leaned in even more asking huskily: "Don't you want that?" He closed his eyes for a second, picturing the pure joy kissing her would bring him, but he knew they couldn't do that.

So he opened his eyes and said firmly: "You know we can't." She frowned and pulled away before asking hurt: "Then why did you come here?" Jasper put down his glass and let out: "I wanted to see you…" Eleanor insisted: "Why?" Jasper kept quiet and Eleanor stood up huffing: "I asked you a question." Jasper pleaded: "Don't..."

Eleanor shook her head before hissing: "Where's the ballsy Jasper that helped kidnap the fucking Princess of England? Why are you such a coward now?" Jasper stood up as well and growled: "I'm not a coward!" Eleanor demanded: "Then tell me why you came here!"

Jasper threw his hands in the air as he felt his hidden feelings resurfacing: "Because I can't stop thinking about you! I can't get your FUCKING face out of my head! I can't get your voice out of my GODDAMN head! I DARED to think that somehow you still wanted me so I came running back to you. So don't you call me a FUCKING COWARD! This is the most brave I've been my entire life…"

The silence filled the room as Eleanor observed him, out of breath, and wondered if his words were the most romantic ones she had ever heard in her life. She slowly made her way to him and stood in front of the man that brought her so much misery and joy.

She leaned in and gently caught his lips with her own, feeling her body fill with a strange yet delicious energy. She couldn't describe what she was feeling at that moment, just pure bliss, and nothing else. Jasper, who thought had lost his mind when she kissed him, was finally recovering so he put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

It felt like ages had passed when Eleanor finally pulled away from him. Their lips were apart but their bodies were still joined. She bit her lower lip and whispered: "This is why I invited you here…" Jasper raised an eyebrow and asked: "Just for a kiss?" Eleanor smirked and let out: "Hopefully more than that…"

Jasper took a breath and abruptly let go of her waist. She frowned as he turned around and started walking towards the door. He calmly locked the door and turned back around, watching the Princess gaze at him expectantly.

He asked quietly: "Is this what you want?" Eleanor wanted to think about it for a moment, but it was pointless. She was infatuated with him, he was all she could think about, and she was finally going to properly feel him. There was no going back now.

So Eleanor gulped and nodded her head since she couldn't even wrap her mind around simple words to say. Jasper walked back towards her but stopped before getting too close. He looked her up and down, trying so hard to hide his own desperation to feel her, and finally ordered:

"Take off your dress."

So what did you think? And do you think I should change the rating and include all the sexy times or keep it clean? (please say I should include smut! lol)

Don't forget to leave a review lovelies!
