My Cynical Prince: Opposites Attract Romance (The Instalove Series)

by Marian Tee

  His desire-roughened words made her shiver despite the warmth of his kiss and the heat of his touch. A part of her still feared that once Julian had her, he would throw her away, but Cass told herself that she had to be the first to take a leap of faith.

  Julian was her destiny, and she was his. If she had to be the first one to take a risk on their love, then so be it.

  “Do you trust me?” she asked shakily.

  The question took him by surprise, but Julian didn’t hesitate when he said, “Yes.”

  “Then make love to me here, on the beach.”

  Julian’s jaw clenched. “But there’s a risk...”

  "I'll be able to sense their thoughts, and I can use my mind to deflect their attention."

  The silence between them grew tense, and Cass found herself holding her breath. She knew she was asking a lot from Julian. He probably saw this as her asking him to cede his control, but it was more than that. This was about him trusting her, and she needed that. She was willing to wait for him to love her and ask her to marry him. But this was one thing she could never compromise on.

  She needed to know he trusted her.

  But did he?

  Julian could feel his heart thundering against his chest. What she was asking him to do went against everything he had been taught as a prince. But on the other hand, she was Cass, the girl from his dreams. The girl who couldn’t lie. The girl who knew that he would not marry her, even if destiny meant otherwise.

  Julian slowly bent his head and took her lips in a kiss.

  Tears stung Cass’ eyes at the tender touch of his lips, knowing that the kiss meant yes. Julian trusted her. It did not mean he would marry her, but it was a step towards the right direction. That was more than enough for her.

  Chapter Seven

  A constant stream of guests walked past the patch of palm trees hiding Julian and Cass’ entwined bodies, their chatter somewhat muted by the crashing waves against the shore. All it would take to expose them was for one person to squint a little harder at their direction. Just one person...but no one did.

  Julian shook his head with a muttered expletive. "Unbelievable."

  Cass only smiled up at him. "I told you, didn't I? You can trust me." And because the Prince's gorgeous face was so, so close, she couldn't help but reach up and touch his cheek, a small part of her still unable to believe that her Prince was truly here, next to her, in the flesh.

  Something hard pulsed next to her thigh.

  And naked to boot, Cass thought ruefully even as her heart jumped a bit at the feel of his manhood pressing so insistently against her body.

  “Talk to me,” Julian invited as he played with her hair, rubbing the silky strands between his fingers. She was visibly nervous and quite obviously in need of a distraction.

  “Umm...” From afar, music played by a live band at the resort drifted towards them, making Cass recall a memory that made her bite her lip. “You know the band playing for tonight's barbecue?”

  “Yes...” The word was a caress against her skin as Julian nuzzled her neck.

  His lips made Cass involuntarily arch her neck, and as he continued to nuzzle, it became doubly hard for Cass to string words together. “I...watched them once. And...” Julian was sucking on her neck now, which was even a greater – and arousing – distraction. “I was near enough to hear...their thoughts...and...”

  “And?”

  As Julian bit her neck, Cass gasped out, “The three of them were...together.”

  Julian paused. “I beg your pardon?”

  With his mouth temporarily away from her skin, Cass’ mind began to function normally again. She nodded at his bemused glance. “I couldn’t believe it either, but...their thoughts...” Cheeks flushing, she mumbled, “One girl, two men, and they loved each other equally.”

  Julian’s lips twitched at the uncomfortable look on Cass’ face. “You don’t think it’s right?”

  Cass said quickly, honestly, “It’s not that. They really loved each other. I could see it. Feel it. So I don’t think it can be wrong. But I was just wondering...” She gave him a meaningful look.

  Julian blinked. “Err...what?”

  “You know.”

  Julian said blankly, “I don’t know.”

  Cass gave him another look. “You know!”

  “No,” Julian said, lips twitching. “I truly do not.”

  She said in a very low whisper, “I was wondering about...you know...the logistics.”

  He choked. “The logistics?”

  She nodded emphatically.

  It hit him then, and Julian couldn’t stop himself from grinning. “Do you mean you’re wondering how she’s able to handle the two men in bed?”

  “Would it have to be both at the same time?”

  “It’s possible.”

  Her lips parted in surprise. “It is?”

  “Do you want to give it a try?”

  She gasped.

  “No other man, of course, but I could use a toy...”

  “No!”

  But the lovely flush on her cheeks told Julian that she was intrigued by the idea, and her passionate side made him groan, pull her head close, and kiss her hard. “Next time,” he muttered against her lips. “But for now, I need to fuck you on my own.”

  His coarse words only succeeded in making her toes curl even as she protested weakly, “Julian!”

  But the prince only laughed and hauled her body even closer. “Starting right now, sweetheart. I’m going to fuck you right now.”

  Cass willed herself not to blush as Julian, looming over her, slowly peeled her bikini top from her body. Shyness made her hold her body stiff, and she had the greatest urge to do it like ostriches did. Only this time, she wouldn’t just bury her head in the soft white sand under her. She’d bury her entire body and hide it away from Julian’s devouring gaze.

  Me and my big mouth, Cass thought morosely, but the rest of her thought disappeared when she saw Julian discard her bikini top to the side.

  According to him, they had already done this countless times and he didn’t seem to have anything to complain about. So she shouldn’t be worried about what he thought of her small breasts, her not-so-flat tummy, her—-

  “Relax, sweetheart.” Julian’s low, amused drawl made Cass squeeze her eyes closed with even greater embarrassment. That tone of his voice made it so evident how experienced he was in the sex department. He was so used to this. She was not.

  Julian’s breathing became ragged as he gazed at her naked breasts. He cupped them, savoring their weight, before lowering his head and slowly laving her nipple with his tongue.

  “Ooooooooh.” Cass couldn’t believe she had been able to produce such a sound. But when Julian squeezed her breast and started sucking her nipple, she moaned once more. The sound seemed even lewder to her ear, but she couldn’t help making it again and again as Julian sucked her nipple hard.

  “Julian...” Cass was arching her body, her movements seemingly involuntary as her hands crept to his shoulders. Fingernails dug into his skin, telling Julian of her wanton need for him, and it fed his desire, making him hungry for more.

  He moved to her other breast, sucking her sweet nipple, unable to get enough of her taste.

  “Please, Julian...” Cass didn’t know if she wanted Julian to stop or kiss her some more. All she knew was that the pleasure he was giving her was beautiful to the point that it was agony. If this was the kind of dream she had of them every night, she wouldn’t ever want to be awake.

  Julian’s mouth was moving down, his hands clasping her hips before raising it up. Cass whimpered as Julian’s lips trailed down her sensitive belly before stopping at her bikini bottom.

  Swallowing inaudibly, Cass slowly raised herself on her elbows, unable to resist the temptation to watch Julian. With them connected to each other, she was able to see every inch of him. His head was bent down, but she was able to catch a glimpse of the rampant hunger on his face as he tugged her bikini botto
m down with his teeth.

  Cass’ heartbeat raced, each beat in tandem with every additional inch of skin he exposed. Once she was fully naked, Cass thought dazedly, that was it. She would be his.

  Oh God, she would be his.

  The thought was frightening, enough to have her clutching fistfuls of sand in an effort to calm herself. But underneath the fear was an irrepressible sense of excitement, and the late afternoon sunlight beating down on them fed on it.

  There would be no turning back after this, but this was also what she had been waiting to happen for years.

  Julian’s hands running down her legs made her look at him again, and she saw with a gulp that he had finally gotten her bikini out of the way. She was now completely naked. When he came back to rest his weight on her, his arousal felt larger and more powerful, and the triangle between her legs slowly became moist.

  Julian slipped one hand under Cass’ body to cup her buttock. After squeezing the luscious flesh, Julian used his other hand to trace her folds. Cass’ gasp of shocked pleasure made his cock jerk in greater arousal. “You’re so beautifully wet, darling.” His fingers were drenched with her desire, and approval vibrated in his voice as he spoke.

  Cass squeezed her eyes closed again, embarrassment and need blending into a whirlpool of sensations inside her. “I c-can’t help it.” She ended up squeaking the last word, with Julian touching her most sensitive part once more. Each stroke of his finger on her folds had her body throbbing with pleasure.

  When he finally sunk one finger in, Cass wasn’t able to keep herself from letting out a long moan. And as he started to move that one finger inside her, his strokes leisurely but deep, Cass lost what little common sense she had left. All she could do was moan, twist, and beg.

  “Do you want me to stop?” Julian’s words were teasing, but the rough note of his voice betrayed his arousal, which was about to reach the boiling point. She was so exquisitely tight, Julian had difficulty pushing a second finger inside her.

  “No.” Her cheeks flushed as she answered him, but she couldn’t help speaking the truth. As her flesh stretched to accommodate two fingers, Cass became even more restless. This wasn’t even his...his thing, Cass thought dazedly. But she already felt like she was going mad with need for him.

  As his fingers pushed in harder and faster, Cass’ breathing became erratic, her heartbeat galloping and her skin becoming extra sensitive. ‘On fire’ were words she used to know only figuratively, but now she felt it. Oh, oh, oh God. How she felt it, and she burned even hotter when she felt Julian sinking a third finger inside her.

  Cass’ pussy was so wonderfully tight it made him ache hard, his cock demanding to have a taste of her. A ragged groan escaping him, Julian asked, “Does it hurt?”

  She shook her head, her eyes hazy with need.

  “Good. Because I have to tell you, darling,” Julian muttered painfully as he slowly parted her thighs and settled on a more comfortable position between her legs, “I’m hurting badly, and the only way it’s gonna stop is when I have my cock inside you.” He ran a hand over her silken legs, loving its feel. A memory of having those legs wrapped around his waist had him groaning and made his hands tremble as he cupped her lush bottom.

  When he looked down on Cass, he saw her eyes full of desire and trust, and somehow that made him a little less selfish, enough for him to ask unevenly, “Are you sure of this?” He wanted to fuck her badly, so much he would probably be willing to sell half of his kingdom just to possess her.

  The fact that he was able to ask – and she knew he would pull away if she did say no – made Cass feel cherished, and she cupped his face, saying shakily, “I’ve never wanted anything more in my life.”

  The sweetness of her words made him groan, his desire completely taking over him. With painstaking care, Julian slowly guided his cock to her wet entrance. As her inner muscles tightened around his head, Julian couldn’t help growling, the pleasure intense. So goddamn tight, Julian thought as his teeth gnashed at the effort it took him not to take her completely.

  Cass was tense underneath him, her breathing shallow and audible, and Julian lowered his head to kiss her. He found himself murmuring sweet nothings in an effort to ease her tension – a first for him since she was the only virgin he had ever wanted to possess.

  When Julian felt the tightness disappearing from Cass’ silken limbs, he knew it was time, and his body shook with rising desire. Anticipation had him inhaling deeply, his chest heaving as he sank his cock deeper inch by inch.

  A whimper escaped Cass when she felt his hardness pushing into her. It was so different from the way his fingers possessed her, and her fingers dug deeper and deeper into the sand, a subconscious imitation of the way Julian’s cock slid into her pussy deeper and deeper.

  Julian’s large strong frame trembled when he felt the barrier against his cock. It was the proof of her virginity, proof that he would be the first to possess her. And no one else. The thought reverberated through his mind, and Julian knew at that moment that it was true. Cass was his – and would only be his forever.

  “Julian?” Her voice shook as she spoke his name, her gaze trained on him.

  Knowing that he was only making her more anxious with each second he did not do anything, Julian managed to smile down at her. “Cass.” It was his only warning before he pushed hard, his cock tearing through the last barrier protecting her innocence.

  Cass gasped out in pain, her body automatically stiffening. The pain had still taken her completely by surprise even though she knew she should have expected it. She felt stretched beyond her capabilities, her flesh doing its best to accommodate his size.

  “How bad does it hurt?” Worry made Julian’s voice uneven.

  “N-not that bad.” It was more like a stinging pain, but the way Julian was nibbling on her lips and caressing her breast made the ache more bearable. She felt Julian slipping a hand between their bodies, his fingers dipping down, and Cass let out another shocked gasp when she felt him stroking a tiny nub of flesh that was surprisingly sensitive.

  She knew it was her clitoris, she knew it was supposed to be a pleasure point of sorts, but she never knew it could make her feel so...

  Her eyes closed.

  She never knew it could make her feel so good.

  With every stroke, pleasure seemed to spread wider and wider in her body. Her hips started to rise in accordance with the stroke of Julian’s fingers on her clit.

  Julian growled as Cass’ hips bumped against him, and agony of the most exquisite kind tightened inside him as he started to move. He did his best to keep his thrusts steady and slow, wanting Cass to have as much time as she needed to adjust to his movements.

  But then Cass was moaning, rubbing her body against his like she did in his dreams, and his control broke. “You’re so fucking responsive,” he growled as he thrust just a little bit harder and faster into her.

  Arms around his neck, legs around his waist, Cass held on to Julian for dear life as his ever deepening thrusts pushed her down on the sand. “Julian, Julian, Julian...” She couldn’t help moaning his name, couldn’t stop rubbing her breasts against his hard chest...couldn’t resist lifting her hips to meet his every thrust.

  “What do you want?” Julian asked hoarsely even as his hips moved nonstop over hers, his cock feeling like it was about to burst any second as her pussy tightened around him.

  “Do you want it faster?”

  “Yes.” The word was torn out from her, and she whimpered when Julian began pumping his hips faster.

  “Do you want it harder?”

  “Yeeeees.” And she closed her eyes at the sheer pleasure of his cock slamming harder and harder into her, each thrust marked by the heavy slapping sound created by their bodies. Tears stung her eyes as she felt the pleasure inside her rising and rising. “Harder,” she whispered. “Harder——”

  Julian pulled nearly all the way out before slamming back into her, the force and the angle just right to hit he
r G-spot.

  Cass screamed, her orgasm causing her pussy to clench tightly around Julian’s cock.

  “Shit!” Cass’ release triggered his, and with just a few quick hard thrusts, he was spilling his seed into her, filling her pussy with his come.

  Sex had never felt this good, the force of his pleasure leaving him completely spent and shaken. When he gazed down on Cass, the dazed look on her face, coupled with the faint streak of tears on her cheeks, made Julian swallow.

  A part of him had thought that he only had to have Cass once and he would be free from wanting her. One taste and it would be enough for him to remove her from his life, and he would never think of her again.

  But he was wrong.

  It was the opposite.

  One taste turned his desire into an incurable addiction.

  The taste of her would remain with him forever, and it would always make him want more of Cass.

  He could never let go of her now, and he would make sure she stayed with him – even when the time came for him to marry another woman for Ethereal.

  Chapter Eight

  “Why do you insist on telling people’s fortunes even when you know people can be cruel?” Julian’s question was the first thing he said as, hours later, he slowly soaped Cass’ back.

  “Because I like helping people.” It took a while before Cass could answer since the luxuriating feel of Julian’s touch made it hard for her to concentrate. Since making love at the beach, they had made love two more times. The second time was in his bedroom and then the third time was right here in Julian’s whirlpool tub. She had a feeling the fourth time would happen anytime soon.

  Her eyes closing as Julian pulled her back to lie against his chest, she continued softly, “I like to share the good stuff with them. That’s my favorite part.”

  “So you see the bad stuff, too?”

  Her smile dimmed. “More often than I want to.”

  The most recent one had been the other day, when she had to warn two exes about impending danger. Fate had thrown the couple back into each other’s arms when it made the handsome Caine the new boss of his ex-girlfriend. There was a chance for the two of them to get back together – but only if they learned to trust each other once more.
