Page 42 of Possessing the Prince

“Congratulations on the baby. You’re going to be an amazing father. I just know it.”

It is2:30 in the morning when Abena finally returns home. There is no fanfare or huge pronouncement. She is as quiet as a mouse. Nevertheless, I hear her and sit up against my wide headboard.I’m pissed.How dare she enter my home at this hour with not so much as a word? It’s disrespectful, and I am not a man that takes kindly to impudence.

However, I do not say a word and neither does she. I can make out her silhouette in the darkness and even in shadow, the lines and curves of her body take my breath away. I ache for her in more ways than one. Even in my anger, I pray she still aches for me, because I do not think I can really ever let her go. She’s the only woman for me.I’m hers.

She slowly disrobes before pulling back the covers on her side of the bed and climbing in. Immediately I reach out for her and we meet in a tangle of arms, legs, and skin. I do not know where I start or where she ends. I press my forehead against her and she kisses the tip of my nose. I take both of my hands and hold her face still as I place kisses gently all over. When my lips hit hers, it is soft, eager, and wet. I just want to taste her.

“Forgive me,” she whispers in the dark. “I went to see Father at the compound and then I went Accra and spent hours just sitting by the beach, Before I knew it the day and night had passed.“

I cannot help but chuckle. The little minx eluded me. After all she has gone through with that man, I never thought she’d go back to her childhood home. I told Maya as much.

“Ahhh…that's why I could not find you. I never thought to look there, even though now that I think about it-that makes sense. I knew you would want to close the loop with your father eventually.”

I also knew, if I called her father he would likely not tell me anything.

“Well Precious, how did it go? Do I need to kill anyone?”

She shakes her head and sniffs a bit. “No, no one needs to die. It went as I thought it would. But I needed to make peace with him. He doesn't take responsibility for my ordeal, but I can’t argue with a fool. I did not forgive him, but. I told him when he’s ready to accept the truth, you and I will welcome him into our family.”

I cannot imagine ever welcoming that maggot.Abena reads my mind.

“Senya, I know you hate him for what he did to me, but I can’t bring our child into our world without making peace with the man that brought me into his. I think with time, he will see the error of his ways. And if he doesn’t, I will mourn him and move on.

I tense at the mention of the baby.Abena pulls no punches.

“You are tensing up, Senya,” she says with a laugh. “It’s OK. I figured by now you hounded the news out of poor Maya. I can only imagine your rage when you couldn't find me.”

I kiss her shoulder. “I held back. I knew if I went too hardcore with Maya, Adom would try to throttle me. I love my brother too much to kill him. But yes, she told me. Even though I would have rather heard the blessed news from you.”

She pulls back and runs her hands over my chest. “I know, and I’ll make that up to you. It seems we have a lifetime for me to do that now. Because there is no way I’m going Australia or anywhere else without you. I never thought I’d get the chance to be a mother, and you’ve given that to me. I want to raise our baby with you, and more importantly…I want to be your wife.”

I sigh. And reach over to turn a lamp on. “Abena, I want to believe you. I really do. But you’ve spent so much time running from this marriage and telling me it will end. I find it hard to believe.”

She nods. “ I know. And I’m sorry Senya. I was just so fucked up from my father and bad decisions. I didn’t know how to truly be happy with you. I didn’t realize that being cared for by you is real freedom. You give me the freedom to love myself…flaws and all. You make it possible for me to really explore pleasure and joy. Now I know that there can be freedom inside inevitability; when that inevitability is love.”

I wipe the wetness from around her eyes . “Ok, I believe you. Not because I should but because I want to. I’m making a choice to trust you, because you’re making the choice to trust me. We’re going to do this together.”

She moves her hand to my cock and starts to slowly squeeze me off. “So I can be your wife?”

I gasp. The feeling of her hand around me is intense, but I manage to respond. “You already are my wife.”

She chuckles before she moves her head to my lap. “Yes, but now it is for a lifetime and not a year. How can I be of service to the prince?”

She moans as she starts licking the crown of my cock. At first, I don't say a word. I pull her up from my lap and look her in the eyes. And kiss her cheeks before I gently push her down on the bed. I open her legs wide, and kneel between her thighs to place a few strong licks through the folds of her already slick pussy before I answer.

“By letting me serve you.”

Three Months Later

My family reunion is equal parts overwhelming and exciting. I am finally here! Once my intelligence reports came back clear, Abena, Kofi, Ella, Maya, Adom, and I took a road trip to Nima. I wanted them to meet my people. And I wanted my people to meet my family.

The surrounding villages accepted the fate of the shrine, and many of the girls we rescued were reunited with their families without issue. However, there are already rumbles that another shrine is being constructed on Ewe lands. My goal is to find it and destroy it.
