Royal Playboy: The Prince's Choice

by Leila Haven

  “Melody, my choice isn’t Violet. Or any of the other girls,” I started. “From the first moment I met you, there was never any competition. From that moment onwards it was you and only you. I went through the motions for Anna and my mother but there was never any doubt in my mind who I wanted to be with. You, Melody, I hope to announce my engagement to you tomorrow.”

  I let that sink in as she continued to stare at me with those beautiful eyes in surprised splendor. It was my turn to hold my breath and hope for something that I wanted so terribly bad. I longed to kiss her, hold her, ravish her. I wanted it all.

  And I wanted it for the rest of our lives.

  To be honest, I’d never wanted anything so badly before. I was a prince, I was given everything I could think to ask for. The possibility of something that I couldn’t have was a horrible thought. I wanted Melody and I couldn’t leave without her promise to marry me.

  “You need to do it properly,” she finally said. Her expression was giving nothing away, not allaying my fears in any way.

  For a moment, I was confused. Then reality hit. She was right, I hadn’t done it properly. I bent down on one knee, wishing I had a ring to give to her so I followed traditions.

  “Melody, I unashamedly love you. It would make me so happy to have you by my side until the day death parts us. I want to give you everything and I promise I will spend my life making you happy. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my sexy wife?” I smiled and it was all I could do now. My eyes locked with hers as I looking up at her.

  She made me wait, thinking about it. It was a lot to ask, and I think that my position as prince was actually working against me for once in my life. She wasn’t only taking me as a husband, she was accepting a life of servitude to the country. That was a big catch that came with the engagement.

  I silently willed her to say something. If she was going to refuse me, then I wanted her to get it over and done with. I’d have a twelve-hour journey home in order to cry about it.

  “Yes,” she said. One word to change everything.

  I jumped up and wrapped her in my arms, finally able to have that physical connection that I wanted so badly. She fit perfectly in my embrace, the place where she belonged.

  Applause and cheers erupted around us. I let go of my fiancé to look in their direction. All the people from the café were crammed into the street behind me. I had no idea how long they had been standing there. News of our engagement would be leaked shortly, I knew it.

  “Congratulations, Your Majesty,” one of the woman called out with a cheeky look on her face. I liked these people, they weren’t fake like those that crowded us at the palace.

  My arm went around Melody’s shoulders. “I’m just relieved she said yes. I hope you’ll all keep this a secret for a little while? At least until we make the official announcement?”

  “Of course.” The same woman did a mock curtsey. Clearly I wasn’t going to get the same respect here that I normally would in the capital.

  Melody wriggled out of my hold and approached the woman. She took off her apron and gave it to her. “I don’t think I’ll be able to work here anymore, Dami.”

  “Girl, you better not. You go and be the best damn princess there ever was. But don’t forget about us.”

  “I could never do that.”

  They embraced for a moment before my gorgeous fiancé returned to me. She grabbed the scruff of my shirt and pulled me into a kiss. She told me exactly what was on her mind with that single kiss. It was as dirty as fuck and I was on the exact same wavelength.

  “Come home with me,” she whispered in my ear. To everyone else she said, “We won’t leave town without saying goodbye.”

  We were able to leave then, but we had to receive a hug from each of those gathered there to witness the best thing that had ever happened to me. I still couldn’t believe Melody thought I could have chosen anyone else besides her. To me, there had never even been another option since the day we met.

  Never.

  She was the only one for me.

  I drove Melody to her home, the only other place I had visited in the town so far. She called out when we went inside but there was no reply. We were alone, finally. Her clothes weren’t going to last much longer on her body.

  Melody grabbed my hand and took me upstairs. I almost tripped over the steps as I hurried to keep up with her. If I knew where we were going, I would have swooped her up in my arms to fasten the process.

  “This is my room,” she said as she pulled me inside. There was only a single, unmade bed in the room. The décor was still that of a young teenager, contrasting with the woman I knew.

  “It’s very… pink.”

  “We’re not here for decoration discussions,” she said before pulling me over to the bed. She pushed me down with such force that I bounced.

  This woman was extraordinary.

  He was mine. Prince Richard Somersby III was going to be my husband and I was going to be his wife. There was nothing sexier in this world.

  Straddling him, I wished that we were naked already so I could take him inside as quickly as I could. His cock was already hard and ready to go, proving he was every bit the man I thought he was.

  I untucked his shirt from his trousers and started on the buttons, resisting the urge to just rip them off. When I had his chest naked, my hands found his skin and ran over the hardest of his muscles. He had to work out on a regular basis to get this kind of buff.

  But his chest wasn’t his best feature, he only got better with less clothes on. I unzipped his pants and saw the bulge in his underwear for the first time. I rubbed his cock through the fabric, enjoying the way it grew harder under my touch.

  Rick had propped himself up enough that he could see what I was doing. He’d given me the best fingerings I’d ever had not that long ago. It was now time to return the favor and show him what my hands could do.

  I tugged his cock out of his underwear and held the shaft in my hands firmly. The tip was shiny with moisture, giving me enough lube to run my fingers up and down his length. His lips smirked at me, not only enjoying the sensation of what I was doing to him, but the view of how I handled him as well. If that was the case, I’d give him something to look at.

  I leaned down and licked my tongue over the head of his cock. The saltiness of him filled my mouth, making me want more of him. This time, I swirled my tongue all around the tip before taking it deeper. I sucked on the head, giving pressure and then letting it go again. My pussy was drenched from the motions, urging me on so I could get to the part where he would fill me.

  Knowing he was my future husband and we would have a lifetime to play like this made everything that much sweeter. We wouldn’t have to rush, we could try everything we ever wanted to over our lifetime.

  “Hmmm, fuck that’s good, Melody.”

  Making him groan was only the start of my job. I took his cock into my mouth as far as it would go, knocking on the back of my throat in the process. I sucked and licked until his hips started bucking. He wanted more, creeping closer to the impending orgasm than I wanted him to get. He was going to come inside me, whether he knew that yet or not.

  I pulled backwards with my lips still tight around his shaft until he popped out of my mouth. His beautiful cock was so hard and big and oh so temptingly close still. If I didn’t want him inside me so badly I might have taken another taste, but I simply couldn’t wait any longer. My pussy was drenched and begging to be filled.

  “You’re a tease, Miss Parker,” Rick breathed, a smirk on his face. His lips might have been playful, but his eyes burned with reckless intent. He was about to have some fun with me.

  Gripping my arms, he pulled me upwards and I stood by the bed. Rick moved to stand also, the last of his clothes falling away.

  “You are way too overdressed for this occasion,” he growled and a shiver ran down my spine.

 
; He started on my top, pulling it over my head and discarding it onto the floor. My skirt was next, the simple design making it easy for him to push it over my hips where it dropped to the floor.

  Rick didn’t waste a second as he unclasped my bra and threw it away. My panties were just as quick to disappear and I was left naked.

  Even though we’d been fooling around for the past few weeks, we’d never seen each other completely naked before. It felt incredibly intimate sharing this moment together finally. He wasn’t a prince and I wasn’t a café worker. We were just ourselves, with nothing to hide.

  Rick slowed his pace, kissing my neck and pulling me against him. His bare skin burned on me, warming me from the inside out. I closed my eyes and got lost in his kisses, the goosebumps forming on my arms, and the pulsing heat his touch brought to me down below.

  “God, you’re beautiful. I have to have you, Melody. I can’t take this one slow.”

  My eyes flicked open to meet his. “Then don’t.”

  He didn’t need any more encouragement. Rick pulled me over to the bed and lowered me down, our lips never leaving each other the whole time. When I was finally lying down, he pulled away from me.

  With his welcome weight on top of me, he pinned me down so he could do whatever he wanted with me. I wrapped my legs around him, linking our feet together so we moved as one.

  His rock hard cock was quickly positioned at my entrance. Rick couldn’t wait any longer and I was completely wet for him. There was no need to be gentle when I was so ready.

  He continued to kiss my neck while he pushed into me. His dick filled me, stretching my walls so he could bury himself deeply within. I needed him. Last time we’d had sex he hadn’t given all of himself to me. This time, I could tell he was.

  Once he had filled me completely, he started thrusting. I felt him pull out of me before pushing back in, a gentle moan escaped from his mouth as he enjoyed the sensation. I’d warmed him up with the blow job so he wasn’t going to last too long before he needed to come.

  Rick snaked a hand between us and started stroking my clit as he thrust. His fingers were as insistent as his cock, owning me in every way. He had the right to, now that I was his fiancé. I would gladly let him own me from this day forward. I was his completely, and he was mine.

  With the combined thrusts and his fingers working my clit into a frenzy, I wasn’t going to last much longer either. The orgasm was building in my belly and I couldn’t do anything to make it last any longer.

  “Come, Melody. I want to see you come,” Rick said. He stared directly into my eyes while tugging at my clit in a definitive declaration that I was to obey his order. I was powerless to stop my body from exploding.

  The instant joy sung through my body and covered all my skin in tingles. I was barely conscious of what he was doing but I heard him swear before he made one last thrust that filled me with his cum as he climaxed.

  Our bodies writhed together as we enjoyed the exquisite sensation of our combined happiness. I felt as light as a cloud, letting my body enjoy these moments and not think about anything else. It was a wonderful sensation of just being present and lost all at the same time.

  Rick placed the rest of his weight onto me while I wrapped my arms around him more tightly. His cock was still buried in me, connecting us together like nothing else on Earth could.

  I enjoyed the quiet moments with him while we came back to ourselves. I loved how close we were, how our hearts beat faster than they normally would, how we breathed the same air together. It was incredibly beautiful and so much better than a quick fuck in the back of a limo.

  The two of us laid together for a long time, probably longer than we should have. We didn’t get out of bed until there was some movement downstairs, telling me my family was home for the day. I had some great news for them and catching us in bed together wasn’t the way I wanted to tell them.

  “If they ask, you were helping me pack,” I whispered to Rick as we went downstairs. He laughed but grew serious as we rounded the corner and almost ran into my mother.

  We gave her the news of our engagement together. She took it well, considering her only daughter was about to leave for the capital and probably not return for a long time. Thankfully, she could visit me whenever she wanted to. And we could still phone one another. I wasn’t going to be gone for good.

  Rick needed to get back to the palace so he really did help me to pack after we all had dinner together. I wasn’t sure what to take or what I’d need. The palace probably had everything but I needed it to feel like my home too. I ended up taking most of my clothes and the pillow from my bed. There was a lot of luggage, but it didn’t matter. There would be plenty of room at the palace.

  Saying goodbye to my mother was difficult but at least I knew it wasn’t forever. She would come to the wedding and I would involve her in the preparations as much as I could. As much as I was allowed.

  We left close to midnight. “I didn’t tell anyone I was leaving,” Rick confessed as we set off. “Hopefully nobody will notice that I was gone.”

  “Can’t you leave whenever you want to? It’s a palace, not a prison.”

  “I didn’t tell anyone that you had returned home.”

  Oh.

  I got it now.

  If he told them he was leaving, he would have to tell them it was because of me. He didn’t want anyone else to know I’d broken the law and left. He was protecting me, even when he didn’t know what I’d say to him when he arrived.

  “Thank you,” I said. I already felt an overwhelming love for him and now a new rush swarmed me. I was so lucky to be marrying the man I felt so much for. Walking away from him had been the hardest thing I’d ever had to do. Now, I would only run to him.

  “So we’re getting married, huh?” he said with a huge smile on his face. The town I’d grown up in sped by outside, streetlights shooting over us like stars.

  “It looks that way.”

  “Thank you for saying yes. I don’t think I’ve said that to you yet.”

  “You didn’t need to, you showed me back there in the bedroom.”

  “There’s plenty more of that coming your way, baby.” He growled at me. I hoped it was a promise because I could handle that every single day for the rest of my life. Even several times a day if we could find the time.

  Whatever the future held for us, I was certain it would contain many exciting things. This time in the car alone would probably be one of the last moments of peace we would get for a very long time. I’d received a glimpse into palace life during the competition but I wasn’t naïve enough to think I knew everything.

  We talked for a long time as Rick drove. He told me stories of his childhood and I shared mine too. We really got to know one another on a whole new level, one that only made us even closer.

  I couldn’t keep my eyes open in the early hours of the morning. Rick urged me to get some sleep but I was worried about him. I didn’t want him falling asleep at the wheel because I wasn’t awake to keep him occupied.

  “I’ll be fine, I’ll put the radio on. It will keep me company. You’ll need your energy when we get back to the palace,” he assured me.

  “Wake me if you need me.”

  “I will.”

  The moment I closed my eyes, I was lost in sleep. I was so tired I didn’t even dream.

  * * * * *

  When I opened my eyes again, it was daylight and we were just driving into the city. Rick had driven all night to get us there.

  “I’d like to tell people about us before we do anything else,” Rick said as he parked his vehicle amongst at least a dozen other luxury cars. “Are you up for it?”

  I plastered on a smile and wished I had a toothbrush handy. “Of course. Whatever you need me to do, I will do it without question.”

  “Don’t tempt me like that, babe. You know my mind isn’t going to go anywhere clean.”

  He kissed my forehead and he climbed out of the vehicle. Rick had shadows undernea
th his eyes, betraying his fatigue. The poor man had to be exhausted and yearning for bed.

  He held my hand as we entered the palace. There were less guards around than all the other times I’d been there. Perhaps they weren’t expecting any outside guests and didn’t need them.

  There were so many rooms we passed through, I didn’t think I’d ever be able to remember them all. If I was going to be living there, getting lost would surely become a big part of my life.

  Rick tugged me through until we finally reached some people. The queen was eating lunch in a small dining room, the sun streaming in and filling the room with yellow warmth.
