“Don’t laugh!” Jasmine said, pointing a finger at her.
“I promise I won’t laugh,” Julia replied. She nodded her head but her eyes were teasing Jasmine. Jasmine laughed and shook her head.
She raised her eyebrows. “I mean it.”
“I won’t. I promised you, didn’t I?” Julia asked her.
“Yes, you did promise,” Jasmine agreed with her.
Jasmine got off of the bed and made her way to the nightgown that she had hanging up in the closet.
She took it down and made her way to the bathroom that was in her chamber. Julia sat there and watched her go into the bathroom and close the door behind her. She heard Jasmine lock it.
Julia sighed and rolled her eyes as she ran a hand through her hair. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest.
After several minutes Julia asked, “Are you almost done?” She was wondering what was taking so long.
She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost midnight. She had to do what she needed to. She couldn’t rush Jasmine though. She would figure out that something was wrong. Jasmine wasn’t stupid and Julia knew that.
As much as Julia knew Jasmine, Jasmine knew Julia just as well and she couldn’t keep this act on forever. Pretending that everything was good and that she was happy for Jasmine when all she wanted to do was puke. She just wanted this over and done with.
“I’m coming out, don’t rush me!” Jasmine laughed, unlocking the door and stepping out.
Julia was surprised at how Jasmine looked in the nighty. She looked her up and down and saw that she was right about the nighty. It barely covered her upper thighs; there was a flimsy white pair of panties that she was wearing underneath and she could almost see everything.
“Say something,” Jasmine insisted, standing there and playing with the bottom of the nighty.
Julia teased her. “Something.”
“Come on, how does it look?” Jasmine asked her.
She stood there shifting from one foot to the other.
Jasmine knew that the top was too tight. She could see her cleavage and with the way it looked, she wasn’t sure how Prince Chadwick would like it.
“Sexy is the word that comes to mind right now,” Julia told her, nodding her head.
“Let’s hope he thinks so too,” Jasmine said, laughing at her. She walked over to the bed.
“Remember when we used to stare into each other’s eyes until our vision blurred?” Julia asked her.
Jasmine’s eyes grew wide. “I do! That was so much fun!”
“For old times’ sake I think that we should do it again,” Julia told her, staring into her eyes.
Jasmine grinned. “Okay, but this time I’m going to win.”
Julia won every time they played this game. It was always Julia who was better at staying focused.
Jasmine was glad that her best friend had come to see her the last night before she was married. Before she lived as a queen and had other duties that would take up most of her time.
“Start… now!” Julia told her.
They stared into each other’s eyes, breathing normally. Julia refused to look away. She kept her eyes on Jasmine’s.
She watched as Jasmine’s eyes came in and out of focus and knew that the time was coming soon. Soon her plan would come to life… and just in time.
“Jasmine?” Julia asked softly.
Jasmine didn’t respond. She just continued staring, zoning in on Julia’s eyes.
Not yet. Almost, but not yet.
Julia knew that she was only going to have one shot at this. If Jasmine knew what she was doing, she would be beheaded and that wasn’t something that she wanted to envision.
“Jasmine,” Julia whispered her name.
“Yes?” Jasmine asked. Her voice took on a robotic tone that sounded just like the guards. Just the way they had sounded after she had her way with them.
“Can you hear everything that I’m saying?” Julia asked, her voice controlled and confident.
Julia knew that if she stammered it wasn’t going to work. That she was going to fail.
She kept her eyes on Jasmine’s knowing that she was just as strong at this game, but not strong enough.
“Yes,” Jasmine nodded her head up and down as if controlled by a remote that Julia had in her hand.
“Good,” Julia smiled at her. “There’s something I want you to do for me… something that I want you to do for yourself.”
She wanted to make sure that Jasmine was under her spell.
Jasmine nodded her head once. “Anything.”
Julia leaned in close. She wouldn’t have to keep eye contact with Jasmine any longer. She knew that Jasmine was completely under her spell now.
She leaned in closer until her lips were pressed against Jasmine’s ear and whispered something so quietly that only Jasmine would be able to hear it.
As Julia pulled away from her she saw that Jasmine was still staring off into space. She was still focused on what was said to her.
“Did you hear what I said?” Julia asked her calmly.
“Yes,” Jasmine nodded her head.
“Repeat it back to me,” Julia instructed.
Chapter 9
The room was quiet; Julia held her breath. She was going to find out within seconds if she was going to be caught or if she had done what she needed to successfully.
“Seduce the Prince and kill him,” Jasmine told her, repeating it back the same exact way as Julia had whispered it into her ear.
“Now we have to take the rose fence down,” Julia told her, pointing out at the balcony. “The guards are outside your door. The only way we’re going to get out of here and do this the right way is to use our escape fence.”
Jasmine got off of the bed and walked straight to the balcony. She was walking in a trance-like state.
Julia felt a smile spread across her face as she followed Jasmine to the balcony. Together they climbed down, and when Jasmine’s feet hit the grass she watched as Jasmine made her way off the palace grounds to go to Prince Chadwick’s palace.
Julia followed her until Jasmine made it to the Prince’s palace and ducked out of sight so that she couldn’t be caught. She didn’t want people to think that she had anything to do with what was about to happen.
There was no way that anyone would suspect her. Nobody would think that the handmaiden would have done this to the Princess.
Jasmine knocked on Prince Chadwick’s chamber door. He was ready to retire for the night. He had no idea who could be at the door.
Maybe this was what Jasmine was talking to him about.
He had his guard up as he made his way slowly to the door. Hearing the knock again, he noticed that it was a soft knock and not a threatening one.
He opened the door and was surprised to see Jasmine. She was the one who had told him that they couldn’t see each other until the next day. That they couldn’t spend any part of the day together if they were going to have a great wedding. Luck had everything to do with it, according to her.
“I see that you’ve changed your mind,” his eyes gleamed and there was a smile on his face as he looked at the nighty that she was wearing.
She bit down on her lip. “Yes. I want you. I can’t stay away from you any longer.”
She walked into the room and he closed the door, making sure that it was locked tightly behind her.
He took her hand and led her to the bed that they were supposed to make love in the next night. He had prepared for it.
If there was one thing that Prince Chadwick had realized about Jasmine, it was that she was spontaneous and there was no sense in planning things. He was learning to just go with the flow.
This was one of those times.
He was to wed the Princess tomorrow evening. She had changed her mind when it came to surrendering herself to him.
Either way, it was going to happen. And he was going to let her have h
er way. He was going to let her do what she wanted to him tonight.
Jasmine slowly unbuttoned his pajama top, kissing him softly on the mouth, slipping her tongue between his lips and teasing him.
She suckled and nibbled on his tongue as he moaned and held her in his arms.
Jasmine slowly took off his shirt, rubbing his strong shoulders, running her hands up and down his arms slowly before she let them go to the waistband of his pants.
She pulled them down slowly and he shifted instantly. Showing off his hard tentacles to her, showing her how big and wide he was.
Jasmine whimpered against his mouth as he kissed her hard, bringing her down onto the bed. She giggled against his mouth as she felt him lowering her panties.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” he asked, letting her change her mind if she wanted to.
“I’ve never wanted anything more in my life,” she moaned against his lips as she felt his hands slowly go down to the bottom of her nighty.
Jasmine was straddling him. She stopped kissing him for only a second—long enough to throw her arms up over her head so that he could slip the nighty off her.
Prince Chadwick brought her back down on top of him so that he could suckle one of her tits into his mouth.
He teased her nipple with his long tongue, moaning for her when her nipple got harder and harder for him.
“God that feels so good!” Jasmine cried out.
He licked and teased her nipples, this time pushing her tits together so that he could please her more.
Jasmine felt his tentacles getting harder and harder for her. She began grinding her pussy against the tips of them. Wondering how many she could get inside of her… wanting to have all of them inside of her if she could.
“Mmm, you like that… press down a little harder,” he told her, licking and teasing her nipples even faster.
He nibbled them as fast as he could as she continued pushing harder and harder against his tentacles.
Her eyes grew wide when he was inside of her—how she loved the feel of him moving inside of her! How he grew. How his tentacles stuck to the inside of her pussy.
Pulling away from him she straddled him, putting her hands on his chest, digging her nails into him as she pushed him inside of her deeper and deeper.
He put his hands behind his head and watched her. He watched her tits bouncing. The way her noises were getting louder and louder, he knew she was about to cum. He knew that she was going to cum so hard.
It didn’t take long before she was cumming all over him. He came inside both of her holes. She opened her mouth wide and he pushed two tentacles into her mouth, slipping them in and out as she sucked on them.
“Are you going to swallow my juice?” he asked her, wanting her to drink down what he gave to her.
She nodded her head as she sucked and loved how he pushed his tentacles inside her mouth.
All three holes were filled with his tentacles. He had a smile on his face and she could see that he was happy with what he was seeing. She could see that he was proud of her for doing what she did.
When they were done, Jasmine got off of him. The Prince thought that she was going to put on her nighty and leave the same way she had come in. Vanishing into the night so that no one would know.
No one but the two of them.
He closed his eyes slightly. He heard a noise at the side of the bed and when he turned, he saw a sharp staff.
The staff was raised over Jasmine’s head.
“What are you doing?” he asked her, moving just in time.
She had plunged the staff into the bed where he had been laying. Where she had just made love to him.
“Seduce and kill the Prince,” were the words that came out of her mouth, sounding robotic.
“Remember the heart that you have! Remember that you love me! I love you Princess Jasmine!” He almost shouted out the words.
He didn’t want to alert the guards and have them come into his room. He was afraid that he couldn’t talk to her, that her mind was blocked.
Jasmine was about to attempt to stab him again, but stopped suddenly. Her eyes started to blink rapidly and she looked confused.
She didn’t know why she had a staff in her hand. She dropped it and it clanged to the floor as if it had turned into a serpent that was going to kill her.
“I don’t know…” her voice was shaking.
Prince Chadwick took her into his arms and hushed her.
There was pounding on the door; she didn’t know what was going to happen.
Someone was kicking at the doors and they were shaking… then it came to her.
Julia!
Before she could open her mouth, the chamber doors busted open, each one slamming against the wall. The guards rushed in.
They had their own staffs and were glaring at the Prince and the Princess. Jasmine could see that their eyes were glazed over. That they were under Julia’s spell as well—the same one that she’d been under.
Jasmine watched as the guards grabbed the Prince and threw him against the wall. They were about to plunge their staffs into him when she threw her hands out in front of her.
Within seconds the guards froze where they were, their staffs just inches away from the Prince.
“What is going on?” he asked, sweat running down his face.
“Julia—she put a spell on them! The same spell she put on me! All this time she was looking to destroy me! To kill us both!” Jasmine shouted out, talking as fast as she could.
While the two guards were frozen in place, Prince Chadwick called on his other guards to search both his world and Jasmine’s for Julia.
“Do not stop searching until you find the handmaiden!” he shouted out his orders and the guards left.
All but two of them.
“What about the wedding?” Jasmine asked, shaking her head back and forth.
“It will go through as planned. We will have the guards from your palace as well as my own. We will find her… I promise we will.” He told her, holding her tightly.
He could feel Jasmine shaking with fear as he held her even tighter.
“We won’t have to worry about anything,” he grinned at her and kissed her forehead. “Nothing is going to destroy us. You are pregnant with my child. It will be half-human, half-alien. What a way to start out a marriage!”
The smile on Jasmine’s face was that of pure happiness, and he knew that nothing could take that away from her.
“Everything is going to be alright, you will see,” he promised. “I won’t let any harm come to you or the baby.”
He knew that the guards would do everything they could to make sure that they captured Julia and found a way to punish her.
He also knew that Jasmine felt betrayed by her handmaiden—her good friend. He knew how close they were just by the way that Jasmine had talked about Julia. The Prince was stunned that Julia wanted to kill them and prevent the wedding from happening.
Julia was the close friend that Jasmine warned him about, but she had no idea it would be her own best friend. The enemy that wanted to eliminate them both to keep the world the way it was. So that they wouldn’t have peace between the two worlds.
Prince Chadwick knew that he was going to be there to guide her through her pain. He wanted to be there for her when she needed him most.
He had already promised that to himself before they even set a date for the wedding.
Chapter 11
Jasmine went back to her palace. She was in her chamber and felt safe, as several guards surrounded the balcony and were also outside her doors.
She tossed and turned, having a hard time falling asleep.
How could Julia do this to her? How could she lead her into a trap? A plan that she had devised on her own and was willing to carry it out. Why did she want to kill her after all they’d been through? Was it because of her selfishness?
Jasmine should have know
n that something was odd about Julia because she seemed against the two worlds uniting. The way she was trying to talk Jasmine out of the wedding… she didn’t want them to marry and have the worlds come together.
Jasmine shed some tears for the friend that she thought she had in Julia. She thought about the good times they had together.
She promised herself that this would be the one and only time that she would cry for her friend… who was now her enemy.
She had a feeling they would never find Julia. Julia knew what would happen if she was ever captured. Julia would be hung, knowing that Jasmine would have no choice but to give the order. She was a criminal on the run for trying to kill the Prince and Princess. That was nothing to joke about.
In a way, she prayed that Julia would stay away and never come back. But she knew Julia like the back of her hand.
She knew one day Julia would return. She didn’t know when, as she didn’t have powers to see into the future. She wished she did because then none of this would have taken place; she would have had Julia banished before any plan formed in her head.
“Oh, Julia. What have you done?” Jasmine whispered into the dark.
The room was pitch black, but Jasmine turned her face into the pillow and wept until she fell asleep.
Early the next morning Jasmine heard banging on her door.
The guards wanted to make sure that she was still there, that she was still alive. Jasmine wanted to pretend that it was all a nightmare but she knew that wasn’t the case.
In her heart of hearts she knew what Julia had tried to do… the truth was that her friend had betrayed her in the worst way. Jasmine tried to push the thoughts out of her head.
She focused on the baby that she was going to have with Prince Chadwick. She wanted to have a happily ever after and that’s exactly what she was going to get.
“Are you getting ready, Princess Jasmine?” The voice on the outside of the door was Prince Chadwick.
“Am I late for my own wedding?” she laughed through the door.
