“I’d like to make the announcement now. I do not want to put myself through any more of this night with some of these women.”
My mother chuckles beside me.
“And you are sure?” my father questions me again.
“Yes. She’s perfect. I honestly don’t think I will find anyone else like her.”
My parents look at each other, and by the way, they are acting, I know they are more surprised than I am.
“Okay, well, then, let’s make the announcement.” I can see to the far right of the stage area Greyson walks in with Lila. Seeing her in the light with fresh eyes, she’s even more gorgeous than I remember.
How did I not see it? Of all the women in this ballroom tonight, she would not have been the one I suspected to be adventurous, especially being so young. Steeling confidence runs through her veins when it comes to her sexuality, and just thinking about that has my dick throbbing beneath my tuxedo pants.
Now is not the time.
If Lila is this explorative when she hardly knows us, then what’s she going to be like when she does? When she gives us full control over her pleasure?
Biting my lip, I stifle a groan.
Then her question asking us if she could have other lovers for some reason caused instant jealousy to hit me. Greyson and I should be the ones pulling pleasure from her body, no one else. But she does have a point. Greyson and I are in love, why can’t we fall in love with her too?
Does that mean she doesn’t think she could love us?
Shaking my thoughts from my mind, it’s too early to worry about all this. We have a lifetime to fall in love—all three of us.
Trumpets beside the stage announce my father. The ballroom falls to a silent hush as soon as he steps up to the microphone.
“Thank you all for coming to our annual Summer Ball.” Polite clapping fills the room. “It’s even more special this year due to my son…” my father turns to me and ushers me toward the microphone, “… my son choosing his future queen.” Gasps can be heard throughout the ballroom. All the women are looking around at each other, wondering who my chosen bride will be. “I will let Prince Augustine tell you all.” My father pats me on the shoulder as he hands over the microphone.
“This has been a tough decision.” Looking out over the room of hopeful faces, I continue, “There are so many amazing, beautiful, and brilliant women in this room. It’s been a hard choice to find the perfect fit for me and my lifestyle.” I scan the room one last time. “I would like to announce my bride-to-be is…”
You can hear a pin drop while everyone hopes and prays their name will be the one being announced.
“Princess Lila from Égina.”
Greyson holds her hand as she steps onto the stage ever so elegantly—she’s born for this position. She gives Greyson a shy smile and takes mine that is held out for her to hold. I pull her into my side and place a kiss on her cheek, which makes her blush. This surprises me, seeing as not that long ago my mouth was between her legs.
Lila gives the crowd a little wave while slow polite clapping echoes throughout the ballroom.
There’s movement in the crowd, and her sisters emerge in front of the stage as they clap wildly for their sister. She looks down at her family, and when she does, her face lights up.
The ring box is in my pocket, and I pull it out. It is going to be the least romantic proposal, but it is what it is.
I get down on one knee, and the crowd does a collective gasp. “Lila, will you do me the honor of being my wife?” I flick open the red velvet box, and a large diamond ring sparkles under the lights.
Lila’s eyes widened as large as the stone in the ring. My eyes flick to the side, and I see Greyson looking at me with a broad smile on his face. He seems happy about this too, which in turn makes me even happier. “Say yes to this adventure.” I nudge her as she appears shocked.
Lila’s blue eyes turn to me, and a gorgeous smile falls across her face. “Yes. I say yes to this crazy adventure.”
Relief fills me as I take the ring out and place it on her finger. It’s a perfect fit. Destiny. Then I stand, and she wraps herself in my arms as I kiss her neck.
“It looks good on you. Know what else would look good on you? My lips all over your body.” A tiny shiver runs down her spine at my words. Good. She does want this. She turns her head ever so slightly, brings her lips to mine, and then lets her tongue swipe along my lips. Thankfully, her hair is covering us from the onlooking crowd of expectant but now disappointed women below.
“I can’t wait.” She grins before pulling away, then she does something unexpected and flashes her ring to the audience. They cheer for her, another surprising action.
“So, thank you all for coming. Enjoy your night.”
There’s a light grumble through the room, and some people have started to leave, but I don’t care about them. I watch as Lila descends the stairs and is engulfed by her sisters, who are hugging her so tightly and whispering in her ears.
“She seems like a nice choice,” my father says from beside me. “Not at all who I thought you would have chosen. I guess you know what you’re doing.” Then his eyes fall on Greyson and the way he’s looking at Lila. It’s evident by his heated stare that he’s attracted to her. “Ah… now I see.”
I turn to my father. “What does that mean?” My brows furrow as my eyes narrow on him.
“Doesn’t mean anything.” My father turns to me. “But if you’re going to pursue this unconventional lifestyle, then make sure it’s only your babies she’s producing,” he warns me.
I’ve known the woman for a night. I haven’t even thought about babies yet.
“What happens behind closed doors is on all of you, but if it filters into the open, then I will step in.” And with that, he’s gone.
I shake off the unease and stride on over to Lila and her family. Her sisters are admiring her engagement ring. Greyson is with them too.
“Oh, your highness.” Her sisters curtsey when I join them.
“Please, none of that. We are a family now.” Giving them my megawatt smile, I reach out and tuck Lila into my side again. I like the way she feels against me. Her sisters’ eyes widen a little at the intimate gesture, but they don’t say a thing.
“Congratulations to you both. Lila is going to make you very happy,” Magnolia, her oldest sister, tells me.
Lila’s face has turned a shade of pink, which is cute.
“I think she will, too.”
As Lila and I look at each other, sexual heat swirls around us.
“Wow, someone call the fire brigade because these two are smoking,” Skylar, her other sister, adds, which makes us all burst out laughing, cutting the awkward tension surrounding this crazy situation.
“Would you mind if we all go somewhere to talk? We have much to discuss.”
They nod their heads.
Greyson heads out through the backdoor of the ballroom, which leads into a grand hallway. The sound of Lila and her sisters’ heels echoes down the empty hallway. Greyson strides on ahead while I have Lila’s hand linked with mine. We turn left down another corridor, and then Greyson opens the door to my private office. I wait for the women to enter before closing the door.
“Please take a seat.” Indicating toward the leather sofa sitting against the wall, the three girls sit. I rest my backside against the edge of my wooden desk while Greyson takes a seat beside me.
“So, tonight has been interesting.” Looking between Lila and Greyson, the others don’t need to know how interesting. “A little unconventional,” I add. “But I want to assure you that I will take good care of your sister.”
“Thank you,” Magnolia speaks up first. “Lila would not have said yes if she didn’t feel comfortable.” Her words make me grin because I can see that.
“That’s good. Even though we all understand what tonight was about, I only want to be with someone who actually wants to be with me.” Letting a little bit of vulnerability through, Lila s
tands and walks over to me. She sits on the desk beside me. Her hand reaches out and touches my chest, her engagement ring sparkling underneath the lighting of the room. My chest tightens, looking at the scene.
“I want to be here,” Lila whispers, and the unease I felt subsides. My hand reaches out and covers her hand on my chest.
“I’m aware of the situation your father left your family in.” Audible gasps leave her sisters’ throats. “I will be wiring half of the money to your family tonight.” Relief immediately falls across Magnolia’s face. “The rest will arrive after the wedding.”
“Thank you.” Lila looks up at me. Emotion swimming behind those blue eyes. “You’ve saved my family,” she tells me.
I reach out and cup her face. “And you have saved me.” Letting my thumb run along her cheek. “I want you to stay tonight,” I ask. Turning to her sisters, I state, “All of you.”
“Of course,” Magnolia answers.
“Tonight, we will send for your things, Lila.”
I look up at her.
“You want me to move in right now?” she questions.
“Yes.”
Those blue eyes narrow, and I can see she’s not as keen on the idea as I am.
“Do I not get to go home ever again?”
Oh, I see why.
“You can go home anytime you like,” I reply.
“Just not tomorrow to get my things,” she pushes.
“Lila,” Magnolia calls her name through gritted teeth. “We can arrange for all your things to be sent here.” Her sister’s eyes are saying a thousand words telepathically to her.
“Sorry, you are right.” Lila shakes her head.
“Hey…” I lift her chin to look at me. “I’m sorry. I assumed you understood how this engagement worked.”
“I didn’t read the fine print.”
This makes me grin.
“Greyson, why don’t you set Lila’s sisters up in my guest quarters while Lila and I have a chat.”
Greyson’s eyes bounce between us, but he does as he is asked. The girls follow after him, and the door closes behind them.
Lila hops off the desk and begins to pace. “I don’t mean to be ungrateful over this engagement, but finding out I can’t go home really hit me.”
I take a couple of steps, pull Lila into my chest, and then place a kiss on her temple.
“I’m sorry. That must have been a shock. But yes, part of the arrangement was that you will live here straight after the engagement.” She nods her head. “If you’re worried about not seeing your mother again, then I can arrange for her to come here, or we can make a trip out to your family’s home if that doesn’t work.”
She pulls away and stares at me. “You would do that for me?”
“Of course. You’re soon to be my wife, and I would do anything for you.”
She reaches up on her toes and pulls me to her, sealing my words with a kiss. It doesn’t take long until the kiss turns heated, and my hands are exploring her body. Tiny, needy mews fall from her lips. I pick her up and deposit her on my desk, my hand pushing the material of her dress up as I nestle myself between her thighs.
“I’m on the pill,” she tells me.
Her words still me as I look at her lust-filled face. She falls back against her hands and widens her legs for me.
“That’s if you want to seal our engagement?” She raises a brow at me. Her fingers push open the material of her dress so I can see her bare pussy in front of me.
“Is that so?” Shucking off my tuxedo jacket and loosening my tie, she bites her bottom lip as she nods her head.
“And you want me bare, right?”
“You’re my fiancée now.”
She licks her bottom lip. “Seems like I am.”
Rolling up the sleeves of my white shirt, I take a deep breath.
“And what about Greyson? Should he be here, or is it just us at this moment?” she asks the question, which gives me another pause. Greyson and I haven’t had time to discuss how Lila fits into our lifestyle or even into our relationship. But he understands she’s my fiancée, and it’s my duty to service her.
“Don’t worry, we will be making it up to him later.” Giving her a wink, I watch as goosebumps lace her skin. I unbutton my pants and slowly unzip myself, my dick straining against the material. Then I release my dick from my briefs and fist him in my hand.
Lila’s eyes widen as she takes in my generous length while licking her lips again.
“You want this, Lila?”
“Yes.” Her answer is breathless.
“Show me how much you want this. Touch yourself. Run your fingers along your pussy and make sure they’re nice and wet for me.” As I continue stroking myself, I watch as her fingers slip through her folds. Her eyes close, and the tiniest moan falls from her lips as she slides through her wetness.
She’s so beautiful. So perfect. I never dreamed we would find someone like her. Someone so accepting.
Her fingers are coated with her wetness, and I can’t hang on anymore. I need to be inside of her. I take a step forward, and a grin falls across her face as she slides her fingers from her pussy and offers them to me. I suck them clean.
“Am I wet enough for you?” she asks.
I answer her with a growl because as my need takes over, I grab and pull her closer to me as the tip of my dick nudges at her entrance. We both look down between our legs, and with one massive thrust, we both watch as I enter her, both of us moaning at the joining.
“Yes.” Lila whimpers as her nails scrap down my back.
My fingers grip her hips as I enter Lila again, holding her tightly while I thrust wildly inside of her. She feels so good. Nice. Tight. Perfect.
“Harder, your highness. Harder.” Fuck. I didn’t think her using the word highness would get me off, but my damn dick throbs uncontrollably at her words.
“More… I need more,” I tell her.
She realizes what I am asking and gives me more.
“I am your humble servant, your highness.”
She groans.
My dick throbs.
“I am yours to do with as you please.” Yes. “I like it harder, sir. So much harder.”
Something inside me breaks free as I pull myself out of her. Then, I flip her over onto her stomach and press her against the table. She lets out a startled scream, but she widens her legs when I have her in position. Her perfectly tight little ass is on display for me. My fingers grip her peachy ass and squeeze. She lets out a moan. Then, I thrust inside of her again. She feels even tighter in this position. I wrap my hand around her chestnut locks and pull her up off the desk.
“Oh, God, yes.” She moans. “Yes, my prince. Harder. That’s it… harder. Show me how much you own me.”
Fuck. I continue pumping into her until the tingles begin to race up my spine.
“Yes. God. Yes.”
Her pussy tightens around me, which pushes me over the edge, both of us coming in a slew of curses. We collapse against my desk with both of us breathing hard.
“Guess I missed the party,” Greyson’s voice filters through the exhaustion. His chuckle can be heard throughout the room. I stand but stay nestled inside of Lila. She turns her head to where Greyson’s standing. His brown eyes land on me, and he gives me an approving nod. He isn’t mad that I took Lila without him.
“We thought we would consummate the engagement.”
“I see that.” Greyson nods.
I look down at Lila’s backside and give it a squeeze, which makes her moan, and that simple action makes me laugh.
“I think she’s going to need your help, Grey,” I explain. “We have made a mess.” Biting my lip, Greyson moves toward us until he’s standing beside me. “I fucked her bare.”
Greyson stills, he turns to me, and I can see the confusion written on his face.
“She’s on the pill,” I add.
“Going to need you to turn around, baby, so Greyson can clean up the mess we made.”
Greyson’s eyes widen as I pull myself from Lila and turn her around. I push her legs wide open for Greyson to see the evidence of what we’ve just done.
“Think you can handle that?”

Lila
That was some hot sex Augustine, and I just had. I have to admit I was a little worried when Greyson walked in. I’m not sure how the three of us will work yet, but he seems okay with it. I was a little taken aback that Augustine asked him to clean me up. I mean, that seems a bit beneath…
Oh, Greyson’s tongue slides through my folds. I’m a bit sensitive from the pounding Augustine just gave me but wow. Oh, wow. As I collapse against the desk, unable to hold myself up, Greyson chuckles against my pussy as he continues working me over until I’m squirming underneath him, and he is pulling another orgasm from me.
“Guess my work here is done.” Greyson chuckles.
My arm falls across my face as I’m spent. The next thing I know, I’m being picked up in Greyson’s strong arms. I bury myself into his chest and hang onto him tightly as he moves me to wherever they need to be.
The sound of water running has me opening my eyes.
Greyson places my feet on the marble tiles and then begins to undress me. The prince is already in the shower, and it’s the first time I can genuinely appreciate him naked—his tanned, toned body, the ripples of muscles that move as he cleans himself. Who knew that body was hiding underneath his tuxedo?
My evening dress pools on the floor, and Augustine opens the shower door for me with a grin plastered on his face.
“I’m sure Grey did a great job cleaning you up,” he says as he pulls me under the warm water, “but this might be better.”
Oh, that feels good. My muscles have been overworked from the crazy night.
Then, the shower door opens again, and Greyson joins us.
Augustine spins me around so I can admire Greyson in all his naked glory. He is just as muscular as Augustine, but he’s broader. Thicker. I guess he has to be if he’s guarding the prince. My eyes trail down his tanned stomach to the large appendage hanging heavily between his thick thighs. Without thinking, I reach out and wrap my hand around him.
