“Dahlia...” Bradon I murmured his na softly while I felt myself being sucked into the depths of his blue eyes.
It was already too late by the ti that I realized that I shouldn’t have teased him, the look in his eyes told that I had to pay the price and deal with the consequences of my provocative actions.
I didn’t have ti to brace myself when his lips captured mine in an aggressive kiss. His lips felt soft and warm as they began moving against mine. His arms moved to circle my waist before he pulled roughly against him. I could feel the hard lines of his body against mine along with his body heat. His familiar scent surrounded as his taste filled my lips when he suddenly thrusted his tongue inside my mouth. I could feel the heat of his kiss and the intensity of his desire as his tongue moved fervently against mine in a passionate dance. I made small whimpering sounds in my throat as his hands began stroking the small of my back. I could no longer hold back and began moaning into our kiss as my tongue entwined with his.
Our kiss quickly deepened and I could feel his desire to possess . At the sa ti, I had the urge to surrender myself to him and the heat that had started burning in the pit of my belly. My body reacted so naturally to him as it began yearning for more pleasure. Despite what I wanted, I knew that it wasn’t the ti for us to seek pleasure from each other’s bodies. I quickly pressed my hands up against his chest as I tried to turn away to break our kiss.
“Please, not now...” I pleaded for him to stop.
The coronation was today and we didn’t have any excuse to turn up late when everybody else would surely be on ti if not extrely early. Bradon broke our kiss hesitantly but he did not let go of .
“Make sure to co back ho tonight, we will pick this up later,” he said as his hand slowly stroked their way up my arms to rest on my shoulders.
He stared at in silence for a mont as he waited for to agree to his demand.
“Are you worried that I won’t co back?” I asked before I could stop myself.
The stern look that he shot told that he didn’t appreciate my question or my attempt to lighten the mood. That was when I realized that he was dead serious and that there might be so dire consequences if I did not return ho that night with him. Of course I had planned to return back to the mansion with Bradon that night; however, it seed like he wasn’t sure if that was how the day would end for us. I had to admit that I found it slightly amusing that he looked so worried as if he feared that sothing dangerous might happen to .
“You just ruined my makeup...” I complained slightly bitterly as I wiped away the stain of my red lipstick with the back of my hand.
“You should feel lucky that it’s just your makeup that is ruined,” Brandon said before he slowly let go of .
Without saying another word, Bradon strode towards the door.
“I’ll be back...” I stated my promise softly.
Since Bradon paused in his steps for a mont before making his way out of the room, I took it that he had heard .
...
The coronation ceremony and the other events related to it didn’t quite turn out the way that I had expected. Surely, as one of the most prominent events that would leave its mark on the country’s history, the coronation was supposed to be a very intricate and extensive affair. It was supposed to be a celebration larger and grander than any celebration that I had ever witnessed or experienced; however, the ceremony turned out to be quite simple.
I found out later from Desmond that he had decided to cut a significant budget that was spared to host the coronation ceremony and the related celebratory events. As a result of that, the coronation didn’t have the luxurious and outstanding flair that I thought that it would. With that being said, the coronation ceremony held within the Grand Palace was still a site to behold. I was certain that I had never seen so many nobles and significant individuals gathered all in the sa place at the sa ti and for the sa purpose of paying their respect and celebrating the coronation of the new king.
Thankfully due to the tight schedule, there wasn’t a lot of ti for us to converse with anyone. That ant that all I had to do was act as Diana while I made sure to stick to Bradon’s side. Although I told myself that I shouldn’t be interested, I found myself regretting the fact that I was standing too far from the throne to actually get a clear view of the mont when the crown was placed on Desmond’s head. I had always thought that Desmond looked like a prince straight out of a fairy tale, but now, I have to say that he had the commanding aura of a king as well.
In my mind, I silently congratulated him for rising to the throne. At the sa ti, his words made my heart feel heavy and slightly uncomfortable. I was certain that we all had our stories and our reasons, and that ant that Desmond had reasons of his own for being so determined to end the reign of his family over this country. Despite what he might believe, I was certain that Desmond would make a great king and that he could make endless contributions to the country and its people.
I’ve been at his side long enough to see how smart and talented he is. Despite that he was determined to be this country’s last king. His words ca back to and I could hear it so clearly as they rang in my mind along with the look of absolute determination in his gray eyes. That alone managed to convince that he would definitely succeed and that ant that my plan would succeed along with his as well.
Everyone applauded and cheered at the end of the ceremony when it was announced that Desmond had now beco king.
King Desmond instead of Crown Prince Desmond surely didn’t sound bad at all to ...
