I shrug, not sure how to answer. “There’s something about him, but he seems so cold. Cold would be hard for me.” I wring my hands together. “To have a marriage like that would be scary. And what if I did fall for him and he was always that cold around me? I don’t want to fool myself that I could get it to go away.” I try and shake away the thoughts.
“You don’t even really know him yet. Maybe he’s different when no one else is around.”
He did seem a little different when it was just the two of us.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m his. I’ll just have to hope he doesn’t crush me. Mentally or physically.”

I wait until I see the light go off and then I step out from behind the trees. I make my way silently across the lawn and up to the terrace. A concrete wall lines the side of the balcony and is designed to look like vines. But all it does it offer me the perfect way to climb up to Alena’s room.
I take one big jump and grab a hold of it, pulling myself up. A man shorter than six and a half feet wouldn’t be able to make it. I’m also in good enough shape to pull my entire body up with just my hands. When I’m up far enough, I can use my legs to help me climb. And in a few seconds I’m on her balcony.
After we went home I told everyone goodnight. Then I went to my room and took the secret entrance down to the garage and got on my motorcycle. I waited in the trees and watched Alena as she got ready for bed.
There was no way I could sleep tonight, not knowing that in days she would be mine in the eyes of the world. She’s promised to me, so technically she’s mine already. But tonight I want to make sure. I want to bind us together so tightly that she can’t try to escape. I won’t leave her decision up to chance.
Looking around the balcony, I see the French door to her bedroom is slightly ajar. I open it silently and slip inside, closing it behind me. There’s a night light on near the bathroom, and I can scan the room, looking for her. I see the bed and Alena in it, with a blanket covering her body.
I slip off my shoes and pad over to the bed, the carpet absorbing all the noise. When I get to the edge, I put one knee on the mattress, and then the other. I lean forward and place both hands on either side of her but am careful not to touch her.
She looks so peaceful in her sleep. Her eyes are closed, and her soft, pink lips are slightly parted. She stirs a little, and then I can hardly believe my ears.
“Roman,” she whispers as she snuggles deeper into the blankets.
I’m an animal for coming here, but I can’t stop myself. I’ve made my choice, and by law she belongs to me.
With that thought, I pull back the covers, exposing her nearly naked body. She’s wearing a thin nightgown that shows her breasts, which I know will fit my hand perfectly, and pink nipples through the sheer material. The thin straps are off one shoulder, and the short gown reveals she isn’t wearing panties. I can barely see the little lips of her pussy, but they’re exposed.
I growl, and the sound wakes her. She rolls fully onto her back and looks up to me with panic in her eyes. She takes a breath as if to scream, but I put my hand over her mouth.
I’m over twice her size. As she lies under me, it’s then I see the difference. She’s small by nature, and I’m very large compared to almost all men. This does have its advantages, though.
“Careful, princess. We wouldn’t want someone to come in and get the wrong idea.”
She’s breathing through her nose, and her baby-blue eyes are scanning mine. Her heartbeat is loud between the two of us, so I use my free hand to run a finger down her chin and throat.
“I couldn’t stay away. The second I left you, I needed to see you again.” She narrows her eyes at me. “You said my name in your sleep. Were you dreaming of me, princess?”
She scowls now, but I see the pink rising up her neck.
“Oh, you were,” I laugh, leaning in a little more. “Were you dreaming that I came into your room? Is this a dream come true?”
She starts to speak, but my hand over her mouth prevents it.
“If I remove my hand, will you behave?” Alena hesitates for a second, and I make a tsking sound. “Maybe not yet, then.”
I run my free hand down her neck and over her nightgown. Her hard nipple pushes against the thin cotton, and I trace my finger around it. I circle the peak, teasing her, and I feel her body start to relax.
“Such a thin nightgown, my princess. Can you not afford something to cover you? Or were you wearing this for your king?”
My hand travels lower this time, to the edge of her nightgown.
“You know it’s my royal right to inspect you. To make sure you’re…” I stop as I reach the hem of the fabric and push it up slightly. “…pure.”
I look down at her naked pussy, seeing it’s completely bare.
“Did you do this for your king?” I run my finger along the inside of her thigh, and her legs fall open for me, exposing more of herself. “Do you want me to touch you?”
I move my hand away from her mouth slowly, and as I do, I run my fingers along her lips. “I want to hear you say it, my princess, that you want me to touch you.”
She licks her lips, and I harden further at the sight. God, how I want her tongue in my mouth.
“Yes,” she whispers into the space between us.
“I will always do as you command, Alena.” I lean down, holding my lips a breath from hers. “Tell me your wishes, and I will make them come true.”
“Kiss me,” she says in answer, and I do.
I press my lips to hers, and her mouth opens for me. I take over, sucking her tongue into my mouth and tasting her heat. I devour her like she is the most succulent treat on earth, and it’s enough to make me fall in love with her. Desire was there from the first moment I saw her picture. But tasting her, feeling her warm body against mine, has my heart binding to hers. There was animalistic need before, and now it’s unstoppable.
I want to taste all of her, so I move my mouth lower, pushing down the thin cloth that covers her breasts and exposing them to me.
Seeing her nearly naked, save for the scrap of material wrapped around her waist, it’s almost too much. Her young ripe breasts and her naked pussy are exposed. All for her king.
“Are you a virgin, Alena? Are you untouched for me?”
