LylaWhen I get out onto the floor, I see I'm already too late to beat the girls upstairs to the punch.Rashid sat in the same spot he'd taken up yesterday, but instead of being left alone, he was surrounded by a few other dancers already trying to give him a lap dance. I ground my teeth together in annoyance. Obviously, it wasn't exactly my place to be pissed at them. They were only doing a job, after all, and Rashid had enough money to blow to make him infamous among the girls here. But that green-eyed monster I recognized as my jealous side really fucking hated it.Looking around, I spotted the stairs to get up onto the stage. He'd told me he wanted to see me up there, so why not give him the show he'd asked for? Climbing up the steps carefully, an old enemy started to take over: stage fright.I'd never been good at putting myself out there, especially in front of large groups of people. I wasn't exactly a shy person, but I was definitely not as ou

RashidOur meeting with the embassy didn't finish until well after sunrise. As soon as my father and I stepped out of the situation room and the sun shone through the large windows overhead, I realized the time.Shit. Lyla.I hoped she'd fallen asleep and hadn't attempted to wait for me all night like she promised she would. I'd have to make it up to her somehow. Maybe take her shopping for some new things to wear, seeing as we've left at least two outfits behind at the club.Trying to hide my smile at the thought, I bid my father a good morning before heading to the other side of the palace. There was hardly milling about at this hour besides the cooks finishing up our breakfast spread. More than likely, my sisters and mother had already eaten and gone off to go about their days.Both of the girls had been getting food brought to them since the awkward breakfast I'd forced Lyla to attend with my family. Clearly, none of them wanted to get to know eith

Rashid"I'll be seeing you soon, your highness."I turned to look back at the towncar. Hafsa's window was rolled partially down, her sunglasses obscured her eyes from me, but I knew she had fixed me with an intense look judging by the way her shoulders were squared back from her. I held in a sigh and simply nodded in return. There was no use getting into an argument with her over her schedule of visiting me frequently now she'd made her intentions clear to me. I supposed if I actually had a backbone and stood up to my mother, none of this would be happening.Yet here I was, trying to fend off an Abu Dhabi princess while also trying to bed an American girl. Honestly, what had Zayed gotten me into.My body stirred at the thought of Lyla waiting for me up in her room. I wondered what she'd be wearing when I got up there. One of her new dresses I bought her? Or maybe she'd wandered back into my closet and found a few of the pieces of lingerie I'd pi

aLylaHe was so much bigger than I thought he would be. My entire core burned from his thick length invading me. I'd never used actual dildos before, let alone one girthy like he was, only the occasional vibrator. But fuck did I wish I had done so before this. To prepare myself. I shook and looked down at our hips to see how far he was in. When my vision finally cleared up enough, I could see that he was barely halfway inside me. What the fuck? How!It felt like he was taking up all of me!My hips strained, my legs not knowing where to go while I held them in the air on either side of his body. I lowered my feet to rest against the mattress, wincing when pain ripped through me again."Relax, Lyla," he spoke softly. Whining, I shifted my hips again, my body spasming at the sharp pain.He 'tsk'ed softly and rubbed his thumb over my clit a few times, swiping the pad of his finger slowly over it. The rising pleasure from that began to blo

Lyla"Wow." Melanie gripped my arm tight. "I can't believe you two finally hooked up.""I know." My words came out a little breathless. "I can't believe it either, honestly."After we'd danced around the subject for as long as we had and were forced to call it off more than once, it was safe to say that us having sex last night had been long overdue.She looked at me slyly. "How was it?"I laughed. "Incredible."She shook me by my arm, just as giddy looking as I felt. "Are you two going to hook up again?"I wanted to, that was for sure. But now that my contract with Rashid was finally fulfilled, would he authorize the rest of my money soon and send me on my way? Once that happened, I could pay the financial aid office, at least, and get them off my back for owing them.I knew I'd be upset about leaving this place and Rashid. But I understood why. He had a job requiring a lot of his time and attention, not to mention his family was less t
