“You’re not an idiot, Your Highness,” I said.
At that, he raised his eyes and glared at me. I couldn’t help the smirk on my lips.
“I made you look,” I said. He didn’t react. Just kept staring. “I just… I guess I needed time to process everything. It’s not every day you find out you slept with a prince.”
“I knew it,” he said. “That’s why I didn’t want to tell you. Because everyone always changes the way they react when they find out.”
The more he spoke, the guiltier I felt.
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I shouldn’t have run off.”
“You ran?” he asked with bewilderment.
“Maybe power-walked.” I smirked again, and this time, he smirked too. “I just… I thought you’d be busy, and I didn’t want to get in your way.”
Never mind the fact that I needed the time and space to realize he was a prince.
Shit. I neededto get over myself.
“You could never get in my way,” he said.
I snorted.
“I’m sure that’s not true.”
“It is.”
If he kept saying shit like that, I didn’t think I could resist him. And I needed to. There was no use falling in love with a prince.
“It’s okay. I was a one-time thing. You don’t have to worry. Your secret’s safe with me.”
“I don’t want you to be a one-time thing,” he said.
My heart fluttered at those words, but I raised an eyebrow instead of doing what I really wanted, which was to kiss him and make sweet, sexy love to him.
“Really? Are you trying to tell me you’re the world’s first out prince, and you want me to be your queen?”
He pursed his lips and glared at me.
“No. That’s not what I’m saying,” he said.
“Exactly.”
“What Iamsaying, however, is that I’d like to spend more time with you. Get to know you. If you’d like.”
“Is ‘getting to know me’ code for sleeping with me?” I asked.
“I was thinking more in terms of fucking, but sure, we can sleep, too,” he said with a wink.
“Your Highness! You’ve got such a potty mouth,” I said, and he chuckled.
“Who’s gonna punish me?” He grinned.
My cock stirred in my pants at the glimmer of naughtiness in August’s eyes, and I had to admit, having a little fling with a prince didn’t sound so bad.
In fact, it sounded kinda hot.
Not to say anything of the fact that it would make quite the story to tell at parties.
