THAYER
Jesus.
I couldn’t watch her crying like that. It broke my heart. I wished she knew how I felt while I watched how she proudly answered that asshole.
I was grinning the whole time. The people behind me were laughing their ass out when the camera focused on the tabloid reporter. I felt terrible for him, but he got his first warning.
I drew her into my arms and pressed a warm kiss to her lips. “We’re gonna have ups and downs. Our lives wouldn’t just be rainbows and unicorns, darling. But as long as we have each other’s, no storms we can’t overcome.”
Sighing contentedly, she draped her arm around my waist, her leg over mine. “I’m scared.”
“You don’t have to. I will always be right by your side. I promise. We may fight over something or disagree, but we just have to trust each other.”
“I mean, I was scared that’s why I turned you down.”
I lifted her chin. “Look at me,

KENNEDY Learning his sexual experience frightened me. My insecurities fluctuated. Watching those exhibitionists exploring their desires, comfortable in their own skin, and their way of life had me question my own sexuality. Was I enough for Thayer? Knowing how far he would go to satisfy my needs, my curiosity, as he said, my fantasy, I loved him even more. What if one day, he would ask for something more? What if I couldn’t give what he wanted? I woke up to an empty bed. Since we were back together, he shared my bed. We didn’t have any arrangements, but having him every night made me feel content. Judging by the time on my nightstand, I expected he left work already. Once I was done to look myself satisfactory, I went down and met Ash with his cup of coffee in his grasp. “Morning.” He was always kind, even if he looked like he could snap me in half effortlessly. “Morning. You’re still here?”&nb

THAYER We enjoyed dinner with a little chat. Kennedy seemed to have an appetite and smiled and laughed at my terrible jokes. “Can I make a request?” I nodded. “Of course.” She raised her hand with my engagement ring. “I think this is too flashy. Do you have a smaller stone than this?” Instead of getting offended, I laughed. “I’m not a jeweler, darling. But I picked that stone myself. I mean, I requested the carat and the color. So, it’s too special for me, and I would be sad if you take that off.” She checked it out again. “I’ve never dreamed wearing an engagement like this. Don’t get me wrong. This is so gorgeous, and it’s the color—” “Of your eyes.” She looked at me, seemingly surprised. “Yeah.” “See? That’s why it’s important to me. And I only intended to be engaged and married once. Even if I get married again, I’m sure to be with the same person who’s wearing my ring right now.

KENNEDY I knew how he felt. Instead of the rigidity of his body and the raw emotions brewing in his eyes, I knew he wasn’t comfortable with my decision to visit my family back in the States. He twisted and turned in bed. He woke up earlier. I watched him run around the property. He came sweaty catching his breath, but he still looked delicious. Usually, he cracked a joke or gave remarks. Not this morning, though—just a wry smile and a quick kiss, then he took a shower. I fought the urge to join him. I thought of giving him time to himself. But he made me worry as soon as I heard thuds coming from the shower room. “Thayer?” It took a few seconds before he responded. “Yeah?” “I thought I might join you.” I was only in my robe. Then he peeked her head out. “I’m almost finished. Why didn’t you join me immediately?” I didn’t buy it. He wasn’t like this—Thaye

THAYER The announcement was out. It was all over the front page of leading newspapers, magazines, tabloids, and gossip sites. It was the headlines of any news channels, trending on social media with our own hashtags #PowerRoyalCouple, #Kenyer, #Thayedy. But if there were more excited and ecstatic about our engagement, some people called it propaganda, a publicity stunt, and an act of shame towards the King. I wanted to throw my phone across the room. How dare did they call this a publicity stunt? “You can’t please anyone. What’s important is your feelings and intentions? From what I’ve seen, this is not about the terms anymore. You both are in love, so prove them all wrong,” Ash said. “And show them your middle finger,” Lud added. I glanced at the woman I loved. She was scrolling on her phone. I couldn’t really read her expression or what was in her head. Then she burst out laughing. “What’s funny,

KENNEDY Thayer’s fingertips brushed the outer layer of my breasts. He cupped them, squeezed a little before he flicked his tongue one each at a time. I watched him as he enjoyed and captured the other into his hot mouth, sucking it. All I could think about was reminding him that I would come to him that I wouldn’t ever feel complete without him in my life. His thumb flicked my free nipple, pinched it with his fingers. The pain sent right through my pulsing clit. I could feel my folds slick with my wetness—I was ready and needy—like always for him. “Babe?” I called out when he was seemingly silent. He was usually talkative during sex. He raised his head. My nipple was still in his mouth. “Please?” He released my nipple. “What do you want, darling? Tell me?” To be honest, the word darling had grown on me, especially when he called me with his thick accent. It was sexy like m

KENNEDY My arrival at the JFK Airport was overwhelming. With my disguise, keeping my head down, my blending in didn’t work. I didn’t know how did people know about the time of my arrival. I received flowers, people took pictures of me and gave me a warm welcome, which I wouldn’t ever get used to it. Thankfully, I spotted my dad instantly. “I missed you both.” I hugged Dad first, then Mom. I didn’t know how much I missed them until I was already in their arms. “Follow me. You’re now officially a celebrity, sweetheart.” “How did they know my arrival?” “I don’t know. I think the princess just posted her picture and you together. Her followers must have figured it out,” Mom explained, taking bouquets from me. “Get in the back of the car.” “What about that SUV?” I noticed the black SUV parked just right beside their car, “That’s a diversion. Hurry up.” “Thanks.” I climbed in our old fami

THAYERGod, I miss her.But I couldn’t get out. I was stuck with work, and my family was expecting me for a public appearance. It wasn’t new to me. I had no issue with that until I found love who lived on the other side of the world.I checked my phone and scanned through her friend’s Instagram. Apparently, she got her own fan club. But her friends had no recent post with her on it.I shoved my phone back into my suit pocket when my mother approached.“How are you holding up, honey?”I smiled. “We didn’t break up, Mom. She’s just spending holidays with her family.”“I know.” She squeezed my hand. “Next holiday, you and Kennedy will be spending together at this very same room. Just have little patients.”“I’m fine. Really.” But my voice didn’t go with my words.“You will be.&

KENNEDY Grinning, I put my phone down. I just talked to Thayer. I hadn’t realized how much I loved him until he was miles away from me. God, I missed him already, but I also missed being with my friends. “So, you’re leaving?” Siena asked, pouring a liberal amount of milk into her coffee. “Since when do you prefer a cow over almond?” I looked down at her creamy cup. “Since today. What’s your deal, Siena?” Serenity asked, curling her bronze hair around her finger. “Nothing. Just our friend is gonna be in the other part of the world with her prince charming,” she said incredulously. “We can just be supportive and be happy with her decision.” Her brow arched. “She loves her job, Serenity. Then prince charming came along. I mean they barely know each other and now look at her. She just broke up with her asshole ex, yet she’s like under the prince's spell. How convenient? Now, she’s in love. isn’t it crazy?” She snorte
