SophiaI turned around, expecting him to push his cock inside of me, but instead, a warm tongue slithered along my lower lips, and I let out a squeak of pleasure.He spread my cheeks and flicked his tongue across my clit. He moved up higher until he reached a place I’d never had anyone touch before. He slowed his rhythm before his tongue disappeared for good. “That will be for another day, my queen.”He shoved his cock inside me, and I moaned as he filled me up. He grabbed my hair and twisted it around his hand, pulling slightly so I could lock eyes with him in our reflection in the window. He let out slow breaths as he thrust inside of me over and over. He moved much slower, pulling out until his tip was barely inside and then pushing again until our bodies became one.Shivering with pleasure, I rocked my hips, beckoning for him to stay inside of me.“Patience,” he said and smacked his hand against my butt cheek. He squeezed them harder, and my moans became louder and hoarser.Liftin

LukeWhen the palace came into view in the distance, I squeezed Sophia’s hand. Mine was slick with sweat, but I didn’t let go.“I love you,” Sophia said. I snapped back to reality and looked at her. “I don’t know what else to say, so I wanted to leave you with that. No matter what happens, I’m not going anywhere.”“Thank you,” I said. “That helps.”“Here we go,” she muttered as the palace gates opened for us. “This view never gets old.”She stared out the window at the palace grounds. Even though I’d spent a majority of my life living in the palace, we had the same view of it. Each time I returned home, I always marveled at the beauty. The palace had been my second chance at life, and I had promised myself I would never take it for granted.Either the car moved at warp speed, or my sense of timing was off. Before I knew it, the driver was out of the car and holding my door open.One of the valets was already helping Sophia out of the car.As I didn’t want Mother to attack my fiancé fi

SophiaEven though Abir didn’t appear fazed by the request, Luke’s tone held a heavy weight. For once, I didn’t want to know what was on his mind, but I had a feeling I was about to find out.This was what I was here for, to be Luke’s rock like he was mine. This was what a real relationship looked like, for better or for worse.When Abir left and closed the door behind him, Luke collapsed onto his bed. He rolled over onto his back and raked his hands through his hair.“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked, intending for it to sound like a joke.Luke wasn’t smiling. “The council wants to meet with me,” he said.“Okay? Don’t you meet often?”“They want to see me now.”“Now?” I asked. “You just got back. They can’t give you a second to get settled?”Luke sat up. “That’s what Mother said. A king’s duty never rests.”I sat down next to him. I didn’t touch him for fear he would shrink away from me. I wanted to be there for him but not to make him more uncomfortable than he already was.“Are yo

LukeThe closing of the meeting room door signaled the end of the conversation between myself and the other council members. My head swam with questions about what the fuck had just happened. Leaving Qatar and going to America to reclaim the love of my life Sophia was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Returning to the palace with her had more than turned my world upside down. While I thought Jaabir, the oldest and most traditional council member, was my only foe in that room, it turned out that all the council members weren’t fond of my decision to marry a woman outside of our culture.Their final ultimatum was clear: either I give up Sophia to keep the throne, or I give up the throne to keep Sophia. If I chose to keep Sophia, then my sixteen-year-old brother Abir would be forced onto the throne. Other than Sophia, no one else knew that Abir didn’t want the crown. Father’s dying wish was for me to take the throne. Mother had supported the decision too, which was why I made Sophia leav

Sophia“What was that about?” I asked Luke. As quickly as his adoptive brother entered the room, Abir left again.Luke walked over to the table and lightly kissed the top of my head. I leaned against him. “Abir wants us to meet his girlfriend.”Sophia’s eyes widened. “Alda?”“Apparently, she’s a frequent visitor to the palace.”“It must be serious then,” I said.“I’ll be the judge of that,” Luke said.I touched his hand. “Down, boy.”He smirked. “I just want to get to know her better. I haven’t been a very good big brother.”“You’ve done just fine.”Something flashed in Luke’s eyes. Before I could identify it, the look was gone.Even though Luke had told me that everything went okay in the meeting with the council, I had a strange sensation that he wasn’t telling me everything. Luke only hid things from me when they directly affected our relationship. I thought we were over doing that, but Luke was a kind and intelligent man, and if he needed to work through something, he would do it
