The crown prince Alexandro ate quietly watching Celine as she ate. This woman was very much intriguing.
After he had kissed her as the deal said, she left feeling so awkward. She didn't eat breakfast with him or dinner for three days. He looked at her wondering what the hell she was thinking.
"Celine", he called and she looked up.
"You're strangely quiet", he said and she smiled. "Table manners, your highness", she said and he laughed. "Since when did lady Celine of Garcia observe table manners " he said and Celine scoffed.
"I'm not the most uncultured person in the world, you know", she said and he nodded not in agreement but of mockery. "Well, you are the only uncultured lady I know ", he said. Celine shrugged.
He was right, which lady couldn't do a simple curtsy and the way she treated and talked to the crown prince, no lady , noble or commoner could do it. She was rue.
"Isn't Celine a long name?" He asked suddenly bringing her back from the world of her own thoughts. "Celine?" She scoffed him. "Celine is a simple name. What would you say about Gwendolyn that sounds like a grandpa's clock ". They laughed.
"Grandpa's clock indeed. It sounds more like the heavy metal bell", he said downing cups after cup of water so as not to choke.
He wasn't really used to this.
" So, what's with the name? My name is perfect", she defended her name. "So you mean everyone calls you Celine even friends?" He asked and she said nothing.
Celine shook her head. "Well , all my life has been based on fake identity, so I had fake friends_"
Even now, this is fake.
"_ but, I had someone who calls me Cel. And family too", she said and she smiled.
This wasn't a lie, her true friend and family was her sister. "Cel, I like it. And maybe you should quit calling me your highness", he said as he ate his food.
"I can't possibly stop calling you by your title, your highness", she said pushing her plate away and standing to leave. "I want you to", he said and she shook her head. " I just can't, I'm used to calling you by your title", she said.
Celine pushed the chair back ready to leave. "Your highness,. I'll leave first" , she said and turning to leave, he called her.
" Cel", he said and she came to him. " Yes, your highness", she answered and he stood from his seat and came to her.
Must you always intimidate me, your highness.
The crown prince Alexandro's shirt wasn't buttoned at all and his abs showed. This was why he was a rising sun, and all that training paid off. By just looking at him one would know.
'i told you I want you seduce only you, it must be paying off, isn't it?" He asked and for a moment she knew not what he was saying.
Damn.
He had caught her staring at him. This prince was something else and how can someone still say that he knew no woman. " I... I don't know what you're talking about, your highness", she said.
"You're playing dumb , sweetheart, aren't you. Maybe I should refresh your memory", he said coming close to her. Celine moved back. " Wait. I remember everything", she said and he smiled.
He strangely loved doing that around her. He liked it.
" Hug me", he said. Celine who wasn't looking at him raised her head to look at him. "Eh?"
"Hug me, you should do that everyday", he said and she nodded.
Why should I, is not as if this is a contract or something.
The hell it was. It was a deal between the crown prince Logan of Segovia and she , the former leader of a vicious gang, Goldcrest.
"But, we are not..."
"We are", he said and she stated at him as if she was seeing a ghost. "Says who?" She asked.
The crown prince Alexandro walked briskly to her and hugged her. " You don't really have to accept"
"But a negotiation is..."
"There's no negotiation. I want you", he said putting more emphasis on the' want'.
He hugged her caressing her back and her neck. "Sweetheart, don't tell me you don't want it. Well, if you do _" he shrugged still on her body. "_ I'll just behead you" now that was so icy . His expression was familiarly dangerous.
The crown prince Alexandro kat her be, but held her hand. "The next time because I kiss you , you avoid me... I'll feed you to Xavier's dogs", he said.
Celine knew he was joking, but she shivered anyway. Xavier's dogs were not mere puppies or grown dogs. They were hyenas. And anytime they wanted to kill someone, they would starve it for days, so the victim would have an easy death...
Celine shut her eyes, she had decided to do this, so she should carry on with it, but, even though she still didn't know why her heart was doing that thump thump sound.
I can do it.
"I just didn't feel like eating", she said and he laughed. "I know", he said and she rolled her eyes. He knew she was eating earlier than the normal time so as not to encounter him.
"You, cel, are beautiful, and had a strong wit", he said. "Thank you", she said but he ignored her and continued. " But I think you're a dim wit in this aspect"
" In what aspect?" She asked. The crown prince Alexandro came close to her that their bodies were touching each other.
" This aspect " . And he kissed her.
He kissed her. This was the first time someone had kissed her without striking a deal. She for once let her Scorpio traitor take control. She reached into his unbuttoned shirt and held his waist.
Celine felt such ecstasy that she could scream. She wanted to, but only a soft moan escaped her lips. The maids turned their backs.
Celine hold yourself, this is just the beginning.
She wanted to pull away, but he did it first. He left her and she found herself breathing fast. She was the only one breathing fast, he was steady.
"You just kissed me", she said and he smirked.
"If you avoid me, sweetheart, I won't hesitate to do what I said ", he said and turned to leave.
" I have a court meeting now, go and rest, I'll see this afternoon ", he said.
Celine held her lips and smiled. He was cute...
