CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Thursday, February 9th

I was sitting alone in the bathroom again. The lights off, the cool tiles the only company I had. I needed to be alone again. As much as I love Shane sometimes I just need to be alone. I'd been doing interviews and press conferences, and all sorts of damage control since Monday and this was the first time I'd been alone since. Shane understood, he knew that I just wanted to be alone, and he lets me, he lets me disapear and just sit and think whenever I want. It's the rest of the world that doesn't.

"Your Majesty, you need to final fitting for your corronation gown." Someone knocked on the bathroom door and I sighed, pushing myself up off the cold tiles.

"Okay." I sighed, unlocking the door and stepping out into the light. Alyssa looked at me funny, but didn't say anything. Everyone was already there, everything set up and I stood up on the pedestal just like all the other times. This time tomorrow I would be wearing this dress as I became Queen. Huh. I just realised, as Hannah the tabloids used to paint me as the Teen Queen... Now tomorrow I really am going to be a Teen Queen.

When it was over I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I wanted Shane, I hadn't seen him since I had to go to an interview this morning, he was visiting Trevor at Prince Arthurs and even though it was only a day I missed him. Sometimes I felt like he was the only one on my side that actually cared about me. It was rediculous, I'd gone a lot longer, a month before, without talking to Shane, but I felt sad now. It didn't help that my emotions were all over the place today thanks to PMS. I guess I fell asleep because the next thing I know I'm waking up to something nuzzling against my cheek.

"Hey, Baby." It was Shane. I smiled sleepily and cuddled up into him. "I didn't mean to wake you, I just wanted to cuddle a little."

"'S'okay." I curled into his strong arms and sighed contentedly. Sometimes I liked to be alone, but sometimes I liked to be with people I loved. Right now the only person who fit that that description. "How's Trevor?"

"Havin' a blast; he's, like, the most popular kid in school since his brother married the future Queen." I laughed as he settled in next to me. "Get back to sleep." He told me, yawning a little

"What time is it?" I questioned, snuggling into his warm arms, his body heat thawing me out, I never even realised how cold I was until he was holding, protecting me from the cold February air.

"A little after eleven. Sleep, Princess." Shane commanded and I let myself drift in his arms. I did sleep, I don't know how long for, but when I woke up it was still dark outside. I groaned over and tried to get back to sleep, but I'd been sleeping since sometime in the afternoon, I couldn't sleep anymore. I smiled as I looked at Shane; the moonlight cast a soft glow on his peaceful face. He looked so beautiful when he was sleeping, like an innocent little boy. I stroked his cheek and his lips quirked in his sleep. I kissed his cheek and he let out a cute little breath and his hands reached for me. I giggled and settled in, just staring at him, how had I got so lucky? Marcus was a good guy, and for a while I thought I could actually learn to love him, but he just wasn't the right guy, every time I thought of marrying him I found myself dreading it. Shane, on the other hand had been confusing and heartbreaking, sometimes he was the sweetest, sometimes he was confusing, sometimes he broke my heart, sometimes he repulsed me (because aparently he was trying not to love me). But, in the end I loved him and I couldn't stop, and somehow we made it through and we were married now. I leaned up and kissed his lips softly before I slipped out of his arms and picked up my guitar from next to the bed.

"In peaceful night, I watch you sleep." I strummed softly as I watched him. "In the moonlight, my heart you keep."

Princess Miley

Friday, February 10th

I was sitting in the Throne Room, an hour before the corronation. The room was supposed to be empty, and I could hear everyone running around outside, but I just wanted to be alone a little.

"Princess!" I heard Alyssa calling outside and I sighed. "Princess! Has anyone seen Her Majesty?" I slouched down in the Throne when she opened the door. She was standing there, half glaring at me, and I was sitting in the Throne, trying to disapear. "Nervous?" Alyssa guessed, walking in and closing the door behind her.

"Understatement." I commented, rolling my eyes.

"You were born to be Queen, it's in your blood." She said, walking over and standing in front of me.

"Just because it's in my blood doesn't mean I'll be good at it." What if I was the suckiest Monarch in the history of the world?

"The King was confident in your abilities, the fact that you are being corronated today and Parliment has not moved to object shows that you have gained their favour, you were able to have a successfull petition of Constitution change in a month; that in itself is an impressive feat of your abilities." Alyssa tried to give a pep talk, and I was thankful for it, but it just wasn't working. "You're supposed to be getting ready right now." She said and I frowned slightly as she sighed. "But, I'll let you have ten minutes with Mister Gray if you can be in the dressing room promptly.

"Thank-you." I smiled and she smiled a little as well. I guess after the last few weeks we'd really started growing on each other. I slipped off the Throne and darted out before she could change her mind. Shane was in a dressing room as well, being poked and prodded as a group got him ready for the corronation, he loved it all about as much as me. Shane just preffered to stay in the background, not be dressed up and have a spotlight on him, he'd even decided to stay on my security team because he felt more comfortablt that way. I slipped into his dressing room without even a glance at the other guards, I just wanted to be with Shane. "Can we please have some time alone?" I requested of the team and the leader opened his mouth to say something, but the request was more just being polite and he knew that.

"Hey, Baby." Shane came over and hugged me. "How are you doing?"

"Better now." I smiled up at him and he grinned. "Alyssa let met have ten minutes with you."

"Nice of her." He commented, wrapping his arms around me tightly and nuzzlilng his face into my neck. "I've got a surprise for you tonight." Shane mumbled against my neck.

"What is it?" I asked and laughed.

"If I tell you now it won't be a surprise." He teased, bending down and kissing me.

"I'll make sure I act surprised." I promised and he shook his head, nuzzling against my neck again and his lips parting softly against my pulse point. "Mmm... Shaney." I moaned, my fingers threading through his hair of their own accord. He picked me up and I felt my back press against the wall as my legs wrapped around him.

"Love you, Miley." Shane mumbled against my skin, his body flush against mine. "You're gonna be amazing."

"Shaney." I moaned, kissing his neck and holding him as close as possible. I felt him start to push against me slowly, making me feel warm inside.

"Fuck, Baby, we don't have much time." Shane whined, dropping his forehead onto my shoulder amd breathing unevenly

"'Nuff time for one of us." I replied and before I could shy out I unbuckled and slipped my hand into his pants.

"You're gonna kill me." He groaned and I giggled. I could feel his hardness in my hand, hard and thick, but soft to the touch.

"Don't wanna kill you." I kissed his neck again, he'd given me lots of marks, if it weren't for make-up I'd probably have bite bruises all over my neck and upper chest, but I hadn't given him any.

"Oh, God, Princess." He moaned, starting to thrust into my hand. I hesitantly parted my lips on his skin. Shane had one hand on my hip, and the other on the wall next to my head, holding us up. I suckled his skin between my lips, brushing my tongue over his salty, sweet skin. I carefully tugged Shane's erection out of his pants so it wouldn't make a mess and he groaned again, his breath hot and heavy against my shoulder. "Princess." He gasped, twitching a little in my hold. I pulled my head up from his neck and looked at the mark. I peppered kisses on and all around it, my hand moving a little faster, holding him a little tighter.

"It's okay, Baby, let go." I urged hotly in his ear.

"Oh, fuck, I love you, Miley." Shane groaned and I startled for a second when it happened. I slowed my hand on him, easing him through it as he panted in my ear and collapsed slightly against me.

"Your Majesty." Alyssa called as she knocked on the door and Shane lazilly lifted his head, a goofy grin on his lips. "It's been ten minutes." I sighed and pouted, I wanted more time with my Shaney. Shane carefully stepped away from the wall and I reluctantly let my legs fall from his hips

"Oops." Shane blushed and I followed his line of sight and blushed too.

"Is it always supposed to be that much?" I asked and Shane coughed, tucking himself back in his pants.

"I love you, Miley." He was getting better at calling me my name instead of title.

"I love you too." I couldn't help but smile as I said it, Shane went over to a table and grabbed a hand towel, bringing it over and carefully wiping his orgasm off of me.

"Princess!" Alyssa called, knocking again and Shane kissed my lips softly.

"I'll see you soon." He promised and I nodded and I pecked his lips one last time before I reluctantly left.


Okay, so one of the shortest chapters for this story, but the next one is even shorter; the next one (the last of PD) is literally only the coronation.

Smiler For Joe!
