Billionaire Prince Read online

  “You like soccer, Ma’am?” Gabe asks between bites.

  “I don’t know. I’ve never watched it. But, you two seem to be enjoying it, so I figured I’d give it a chance.” I take a bite of the mac and cheese, and while it’s not Nana’s, it is delicious.

  That was all the encouragement Gabe needed. He spent the next hour explaining the finer points of what he calls “football” to me. I have to admit that I’m a fan. It’s a good way to spend the rest of the afternoon.

  The doorbell rings around five p.m., and Abir goes out to get a delivery. He comes back with a dress bag and a shoebox.

  “Ma’am, your gown for the evening. I’ll put it in your room. You should start getting ready for the party.”

  I go into my room and open the bag. The dress is royal blue silk, and the bodice is crystal encrusted. The shoes are Italian leather and a perfect match.

  This gown is fit for a princess.

  The Prince

  The deal with the Italian shipping company is about to fall through by the time I arrive. Tempers are flaring, and I’ve got to get everyone calmed down because there is a lot of money on the table with this deal. The royal family doesn’t need the money, but we do need the good will that comes with a smooth business deal.

  Capricorn Shipping does need the money,though, and we’ll make bitter enemies of them and their countrymen if we don’t make this right. We may not need the Italians right now, but the world is always changing. We may need them tomorrow, or we may need them a year from now. When we do, I want to make sure they are our friends.

  “Gentleman, I think I have a solution.” I say loudly as I enter the room.

  A hush falls, and I explain what I’m thinking. My assistant briefed me on the issues on the way over, and it seems simple to me. They just need a different perspective. Fifteen minutes later, we’re shaking hands and laughing. The deal is done, and I’m on my way back to my Lorelei.

  The car can’t get there fast enough, but I don’t want to cause an accident. Once we arrive at the compound, I make my way into my temporary bedroom to get ready for the evening. I still haven’t even met my future princess, but I want to make sure I look good for her.

  Once I’m dressed, I go to her room and knock on the door.

  “Come in.” Says the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard.

  I open the door slowly, and my breath catches in my throat. She looks like a princess. Hell, she looks like the future queen of my kingdom. I bow to her. I’ve never bowed to a woman in my life. I’ve never served anyone before.

  I’d scrape at her feet for a moment of her attention.

  Lorelei

  Prince Syed is standing in my bedroom, and while I should be worried, all I can do is smile. He looks like a fairy tale prince in his tuxedo. My prince. That’s a silly thought. Though they keep telling me I’m a guest in his house, I’m sure that’s code for prisoner. After all, I’m still a thief no matter how much hospitality those around me provide.

  “Your Majesty.” I say and bow.

  “Lorelei, you look magnificent. Do you like the dress?” He says and smiles even wider.

  “I do, thank you.”

  “It’s the same color as the jewels you stole. I thought you would like it.” Prince Syed says and chuckles.

  My heart starts to race, and I can feel a line of sweat beading on my forehead. He must see how panicked I am because he rushes to my side and places a reassuring hand on my shoulder. When he touches me, it feels like lightening striking.

  “My dear. I’m so sorry. I was only joking.” He says but draws his hand back quickly.

  When I look into his eyes, I can see that he felt the spark too. My pulse quickens, and there are butterflies having a party in my belly. I’ve never had a reaction to a man like this before, and this isn’t my first time in the same room with a rich, powerful, devastatingly handsome man. Maybe it’s just because he’s royalty. There has to be some explanation for the heat between us.

  He’s the one.

  I feel the words in my subconscious. It’s alarming and exciting all at the same time. I want so much to be here under different circumstances. I wish I could take the job back. I wish that I’d never done anything to hurt this man at my side.

  “I’m sorry too.” I say and I feel a lone tear roll down my cheek.

  “You’re forgiven.” He says and wipes my tear away with his thumb.

  The Prince

  I guess using the theft as an advantage is out now. I couldn’t help it. I do forgive her, and I understand why she did what she did. I wish she’d come to me for help with Vigo, but how could she have known that she could? No one will ever hurt Lorelei again as long as I live. Even if she doesn’t marry me, she’s under the protection of the Crown from this day forward.

  “Are you ready to attend your party, my darling.” I ask her and offer my arm.

  “I am. But, I don’t understand why any of this is happening. I thought that I was being arrested. Now I’m here in your home, and you’re throwing a party for me.” She says and casts her eyes to the floor.

  “When I saw you on the security video, I felt drawn to you. I brought you here to protect you. You could be prosecuted severely for what you tried to do, and I’m not sure that my father or brothers would care about your reasons.” I take both her hands and look right at her for the next part. “And I have a confession. I brought you here originally because I wanted to use your crime to convince you to marry me. I’m a man that’s used to getting what he wants anyway he can, and what I want right now is you.”

  “You were going to blackmail me into marrying you?” She looks slightly horrified.

  “Yes, and I’m sorry. I decided earlier today that it was mistake, and I am determined to win you over. If you choose to be my princess, I want it to be freely.” I’m happy that she’s still holding my hands, and the look on her face is softening.

  “I don’t know what to say. That’s pretty horrible, but then again, you also saved my Nana. Am I free to leave then?” Her question hurts my heart, but I should have expected it.

  “You are, but I hope you’ll stay for the party.” It’s the truth, and I think that is the best thing I can give her right now.

  “I would hate to disappoint Aviva. She’s gone to so much trouble preparing a feast. And, Your Majesty, I know about doing things you would normally never do to get what you want. I’m glad you decided to be honest with me.” She says and squeezes my hands.

  “So, you’ll stay?” I ask her hopefully.

  “Yes, my Prince. You said something about wanting me to be your wife. How can you know that? We’ve just met. You’ve never even kissed me.” She says and bites her bottom lip in a way that makes me crazy with desire.

  I can’t hold back any longer. I’m normally the strong one in the family. I’m the one that stays calm and collected in the face of anything, but I’m losing control with Lorelei.

  “I can fix that.”

  I let go of her hands, and take her into my arms. I run my hand up her back and gently grab the back of her neck. There’s a moment just before my lips touch hers that it feels like we’re floating in space. I feel weightless and free with this woman in my arms.

  Our lips touch and it ignites a fire in me. Lorelei is soft and sweet. I slight moan escapes her mouth and I’m instantly turned on. I’ve been aroused by beautiful women before, but never like this. I feel something primal and raw deep inside my core.

  My manhood stirs and demands to be satisfied when Lorelei presses her body closer to mine. I can’t take her here. Not before she agrees to be my wife, and not right before the party with a house full of guests. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t be satisfied.

  “I want to please you, Lorelei. Let me do that.” I almost sound like I’m begging.

  This woman could ruin me.

  Lorelei

  I’ve never been with a man before. I’ve never had the time or met a man I wanted to let get that close to me. Prince Syed’s offer
is more than enticing, though. The truth is, my body is buzzing and begging for his touch. I want to tell him I’ll be his wife right now, but something tells me I should wait for a formal proposal. It wouldn’t hurt to let him do what I think he’s asking to do, right?

  “Yes.” I say barely above a whisper.

  The prince picks me up and caries me over to the bed. He puts me on my feet at the end of the bed and kneels down in front of me. His hands take hold of the hem of my gown and pull it up to my waist. He groans with appreciation when he sees the lace panties I’m wearing. I take hold of the skirt, and he hooks his thumbs in the lace.

  The Prince pulls my panties down and lets them fall to the floor. He grabs hold of my bare hips and pushes me gently back on the bed. His strong hands grasp my thighs and push them apart. I can feel that I’m ready for him, and I have to slow my breathing because the anticipation is making me light headed.

  Prince Syed leans in and runs his tongue gently up each one of my nether lips, and my entire body shudders with pleasure. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. His fingers find the folds and tenderly pull them apart. When his tongue flicks out from between his lips and makes contact with my center, it’s like fireworks exploding behind my eyes.

  Every inch of my body is washed over with warm, electric pleasure. I want him to slow down and hurry up at the same time. My body wants this feeling to extend as long as possible, but it’s also demanding a frenzied finish. The need I’m feeling for his body and his skin against mine is overwhelming. He’s barely touching me and the Prince has turned me into a whimpering mess.

  He starts to alternate between licking and sucking my sensitive nub, and it’s my undoing. I lose control and start to cry out. My hands knit into his hair and pull his face closer to my center while I grind myself against his chin. I need more. I need him inside of me.

  Prince Syed stands up when my body starts to calm, and I sit up immediately. I undo his belt and unzip his pants as fast as I can.

  “Slow down, my darling. We can’t make love right now. Not yet, and not like this.” He says softly.

  “Let me taste you then. Let me give you pleasure, Your Majesty.” I beg him.

  He nods his head, but I can tell it’s taking all of his strength to hold back. I pull him out of his tuxedo pants and take his head into my mouth. He moans and throws his head back when I swirl my tongue around the tip. I’ve never given a man head before, but I think I’m figuring it out.

  Prince Syed grasps the back of my hair and tugs. My head tilts back, and I’m able to take more of him into my mouth. He starts to move his hips and I just hold still and let him use my mouth for his pleasure. He just made me climax, but what we’re doing feels so forbidden, and it’s making me wet all over again.

  I slide my lips up and down his shaft while I use my hand to stroke the base of his cock. It doesn’t take long, and he goes over the edge. The saltiness hits my mouth, and I swallow it all enthusiastically.

  Knowing I can make a man feel so good makes me feel powerful. I wipe my bottom lip with my thumb and go into the bathroom to freshen my makeup while Prince Syed straightens his clothes.

  “Are you ready for the party my darling?” He asks and extends his hand to me when I come out of the bathroom.

  “I’d rather stay here in bed with you.”

  “Very soon, my love.” He says and smiles at me affectionately.

  My love.

  The Prince

  The party is everything I hoped for even though I only had a couple of days to put it together. I have some of the best people in the world working for me, and very soon, I’ll be making the greatest woman in the world my wife.

  A courier arrives just as things start to wind down, and I’m excited because this is the package I’ve been waiting for all day. It’s a marquis-cut diamond solitaire engagement ring that I had flown in from France the moment I decided to make her my wife.

  A French Queen once wore this ring, and now it will grace the finger of the future queen of Najadin. Once I open the package, everyone at the party moves around us in a circle. Viv dims the lights so there is nothing but candle light illuminating the room. I take out the ring and get down on my knee the way they do it in Lorelei’s country.

  Her face blushes furiously, but I can tell it’s a pleasurable blush.

  “Lorelei, normally a royal gets on one knee for no one, but you, my darling make a man want to scrape and serve in the dirt. I would do anything for you. You are the first, last, and only real woman to ever grace my life. Please do me the honor of being my Princess and my wife.”

  “Yes.” She gushes.

  The whole room erupts into cheers and applause. I sweep my future princess up into my arms and kiss her lips. I can’t wait to kiss her every day for the rest of our lives. I can’t wait to hold her hand while she gives birth to our children. Lorelei is a thief.

  She’s stolen my heart.

  Lorelei

  After the engagement ring is on my finger, Prince Syed picks me up and wishes our party guests a good night. He caries me back to what is now our bedroom and sets me down. The Prince walks around behind me and slowly unzips my dress. It falls to the floor, and he steps back to appreciate my body. He then moves around in front of me and looks me over hungrily from head to toe.

  “Mine.” He growls.

  I reach behind me and unclasp my lace bra as he takes off his tuxedo jacket and white button down shirt. He groans as my breasts spring free from their bindings and I see his erection press against his pants. I pull my panties down and kick them to the side when they hit the floor.

  He tells me to leave the stockings on as he removes his pants. Once he’s fully undressed, I get a good look at his virile body. He’s muscular, and his skin is taut over his hard physique.

  Filthy rich, royalty, and drop dead gorgeous.

  I’ve won the lottery. He turns me around and bends me over the bed. “You didn’t think you were going to get away with stealing the crown jewels, did you?” The Prince asks as his first slap lands loudly on my buttocks.

  All I can do is moan as the delicious pain melts into pleasure and shoots straight to my core. Another blow lands on the other side of my buttocks, and it stings so much that I’m sure he left a hand print. After that, he alternates between swatting my ass and rubbing my engorged nub. Prince Syed gets me close to climax and then goes back to spanking me until it’s driving me completely mad.

  My tears are pooling on the bed spread, and I want to beg him to stop. I can’t, though, because the punishment is connecting to something deep inside me. It feels like it’s setting me free, and the pain is exquisite even as it grows more intense.

  Just when I think I can’t take it anymore, he stops and runs a hand softly over my inflamed skin. I love that he can read my body and take me right to the limit.

  “Lie down on your back, my darling.” He instructs.

  “You don’t want to wait until after the wedding?” I ask even as I obey his gentle command.

  “If I had to wait one more moment for you, I’d probably murder someone.” He says and that makes a surge of arousal course through my body. “And, the sooner I get my baby in you, the better.” He continues as he stalks in between my legs like a predator about to take down its prey.

  Now that I know this is really happening, I get a little nervous about the size of him. He’s gifted between the legs too. It was difficult to suck him off earlier, I’m afraid that he’ll rip me in half now. I think he can see my concern.

  “I’ll take it slow, my love. I know it might hurt at first, but I’ll make sure you enjoy the end.” He says and smiles wickedly.

  Prince Syed’s fingers find my center and he rubs quickly and deftly until I am wet and fully ready for him. He positions himself at my opening and tells me to take a deep breath right before he takes one of my hardened nipples into his mouth. He sucks gently and swirls his tongue around one and then the other. I get lost in the pleasure, and that’s when he thru
sts his huge member right through my barrier.

  The pain is sharp, and intense, for just a moment. He continues to work my body with his mouth and fingers, but holds completely still inside of me letting me adjust to the intrusion. I’m filled and stretched by his huge size, but it’s good.

  It’s only when I start to relax and get carried away in the sensations again that my prince starts to move in and out of my channel. The head of his swollen cock hits me in just the right spot over and over until I’m on the verge of climax again. A few more deft thrusts and he takes me down. I’m calling out his name and my whole body is quaking with release. This takes him over the cliff and he erupts inside of me while he whispers my name.

  If that had been the only time tonight that he made my body feel this way, I would have gone to sleep blissful and satisfied. But, my prince wasn’t done with me yet. We stayed up half the night exploring each other’s bodies and making love.

  When we woke up in the morning, the desert sunshine streamed gently through the windows. He had to have me as soon as he woke, and I barely made it out of bed for breakfast.

  I don’t mind at all.

  Epilogue

  “Nana, what are these?” I ask when she hands me the box containing blue sapphire and diamond earrings.

  “Your grandpa gave me those on our twentieth wedding anniversary, dear. It was the first time in our lives that he could afford something so extravagant, and I’ll never forget the look of excitement in his eyes when I opened the package. Of course, I didn’t need anything so fancy. All I ever needed was him, but it made him so happy to give them to me. It meant the world to him that he could finally spoil me, so it meant the world to me too.”

  “Nana, you should keep these.”
