time was coming but she had wanted to stick her head in the sand and pretend that it was far away.
The night was giving way to the day and she couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. “I have to go home tonight,” she told him, laying on top of him with her cheek against his chest. It was her favorite position because it was the best way to feel as much of him against her skin as she could.
“Where do you live?” he asked, running his fingers through her hair. He was leaving tonight too. It was the end of his annual vacation and his father was already calling him back. He’d ignored two summons already but he couldn’t ignore any further requests.
With his question, he felt her tense up.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,” she sighed.
Zoran thought about his own role and had to chuckle. “I’m pretty hard to surprise.” He felt her smile against his chest.
“I live in Altair.” She turned so she could see his face.
Zoran froze, his fingers halting in mid caress. “Altair? You’re kidding.” So much for being hard to surprise, he thought. He was stunned!
She shook her head. “Nope. Have you been there? It’s beautiful. Some say it is a bit wild, but they only hear the rumors.”
“I’ve been there. Many times. I’m from Larcatia.”
Ciara lifted her head, her palms pressing against his chest so she could look into his eyes. It was only then that the hard jawline and the dark eyes struck a memory. She tilted her head as she tried to remember the one portrait she’d seen in the Larcatia palace. “No! Please tell me that you’re not Zoran del Hassar Alzar, Crown Prince of Larcatia,” she whispered.
Zoran rolled so that she was underneath him once more. “Princess Ciara,” he mumbled. “Where the hell have you been?” he almost laughed out loud, delighted with this discovery.
She laughed as well, her fingers diving into his dark hair once more. “I’ve been hiding out here at a remote summer camp.”
“And being a very naughty girl,” he said, taking her nipple in his mouth and sucking, causing her to gasp out loud and arch as the fire reignited.
“I’ve been corrupted by an arrogant prince,” she countered and shifted against him, causing him to hiss as she’d intended. “I think that I’m going to have to punish you for all of the naughty things that you’ve done.”
Zoran chuckled as he grabbed her hands and pulled them up above her head. “I think that you should be thanking me for bringing you into the real world, princess,” he said as his head descended to her other breast. He could feel her holding her breath as he hovered right above the pink nipple. “You’re going to have to marry me, you understand that don’t you?”
She wiggled underneath him, trying desperately hard to get him to follow through on where his lips were hovering. “You’ve endeavored all week to try and get me to do what you want, but so far I’ve resisted. What makes you think that I’m going to bow down to your commands now?”
His knee pressed between her legs and she willingly opened them for his penetration. She understood his silent message, her body waiting, desperately need him to follow through with that action but he stopped, not giving her what she wanted. “You’re cheating,” she said breathlessly.
“Admit that we’re going to get married and I’ll give you anything you want.”
“I agree,” she gasped. A moment later she was rewarded for her agreement when he pressed into her, filling her up. From that moment on, there was no more talking. Only feeling.
Chapter 6
Zoran stepped down out of the helicopter and quickly made his way through the palace. He barely took notice of the guards who were standing sentry outside of his father’s office before he burst through the doors.
His eyes took in his father sitting behind the elaborate desk, his eyes looking tired, slightly
