The Sovereign Heir (Book 1)

Opening the door to the bathroom reveals I was in the bedroom alone, not sure where he went but oh well. Let me go check my phone, I’m certain I have a million messages since I blocked everyone out last night after linking Bryant. Eighty-nine notifications and one group chat from my legion.

Nolan’s POV

I couldn’t believe she let me kiss her and even touch her last night. I really thought I was getting somewhere when she suddenly pushed me away; turning her back on me and actually went to sleep. She had me up all night running different scenarios in my head, I wasn’t even concentrating on the documentary I was watching.

Does she really think I’m ancient like history? She shouldn’t have worn those shorts; I can’t stop wanting to touch her legs and that bubble butt. No woman has ever turned me down like this before. Well, she isn’t just any woman, she is the kingdoms next ruler and my fated mate.

While I was having an internal struggle, Elaina began moving in the bed, scooting back into me.

What do I do here? Should I just push her to her side? I know what, I’ll just move over. I kept moving until I was about to fall off the bed. The only thing to do was to spoon her and slightly nudge Elaina back to at least the middle of the bed. Placing an arm around her middle she let out a relaxing sigh.

Elaina’s scent intensifies while I hold her, making it very hard for me to not have an erection. One wrong move and she will reject me, I need to think of something to keep my mind off of taking her right now. I have the perfect idea, let me turn the channel to the classical music station. No one can think about sex listening to that. My erection finally went down and found myself asleep as well.

She stirs awake just as the sun came up, I decide not to move just in case I startle her. Elaina starts to stretch and get up, but I didn’t want her to leave the bed just yet. I pull her back into me and that was a mistake. My dick made contact with her ass, springing my erection to life.

Maybe she didn’t notice, goddess, I hope she didn’t notice, moving would only make it worse. Let me just break the ice, “Good morning, princess.” She replied with a comeback, obviously referring to my erection, “Grand rising, do you like water beds?” What an odd question, “Huh,” let’s see where she is going with this. “Do you like water beds?” Elaina must be going somewhere with this, “No, that was the worst bedding trend. That’s a random question to ask.” Elaina raises her eyebrows and replies, “Well you’re about to have one if you don’t let go of me, I need to go to the bathroom.”

Oh she has to pee, and I have her in a bear hug. I release my hold and watched her go into the bathroom. I had to go to the bathroom too at this point, so I got up to use the one next door. Sleeping in the same bed is going to be hard, I don’t know if I can handle it, but I have to. I want her, my beast wants her, I’ve dreamt about her even before going to the palace. I’m meant to be with her, and I refuse to marry Evelyn for the sake of honoring a contract I wasn’t even old enough to agree with.

Walking back into the bedroom I saw her with her phone in hand, typing away furiously, I bet my phone has just as many if not more messages. I walk up slowly behind her placing my arm around her waist. Elaina doesn’t even jump at my touch; this was a good sign. I turn her around wanting to give her a kiss.

Elaina’s POV

I sense him coming before he could even come through the door as I return several messages and confirming I would be on the conference zoom call this afternoon. I’m glad I brought some business entire until the rest of my clothes got here. Nolan snakes his arm around my waist then turns me around.

He was dipping his head preparing to kiss me. This is so not a good idea. If I keep letting him do this, I’ll never get him to reject me. Nolan’s lips graze mine when fate sent someone knocking on the door. I took the interruption to my advantage going into the walk-in closet. I retrieve my mauve body con dress and strappy black heels from my side of the closet.

Nolan is talking to someone outside the door; there was dead silence after. Despite his size his foot falls are very light, this made stalking your prey easier for Lycans. I'm his prey of choice at the moment. I step out of the closet with my clothes in hand and some underwear. He is just standing by the door looking at me like he's hungry, hungry for me to be exact.

Strolling over to the bench, I put my things down, feeling him right behind me once more. Nolan moves so fast, kissing me, his tongue forcing my lips open. Butterflies invade my stomach at his touch, I felt like I was being drugged. His hands slowly went down my back with his fingers bypassing the band to my shorts.

Nope, no sir, I’m not getting fucked today or any day. My body was betraying me once again! I push him back and took in some much-needed air, “I have a business meeting this afternoon and several phone calls to return. I need to get ready, and I know you have matters to attend to as well.“ Nolan took a few steps back and agrees we both had agendas to deal with. I let him take a shower first and head to the other bathroom.

I was dressed and ready to get this plan in motion. I walk back to the bedroom sitting in the front room with the bedroom door open and my iPad in my lap. Nolan was in there for quite some time, he was definitely masturbating after the blue balls I gave him. He walks out still wet and looking delectable as ever. Nolan caught me staring before I dip my head down, I bet he found that amusing catching me being a perv.

Nolan came out of the bedroom, wearing a smokey black shirt with brushed brass-colored buttons, dark blue pants and Rooney wingtip oxford shoes. I like his style, giving me ideas for my men’s collection. I could hear what he was thinking, I slip up and answer his unspoken question, “Used the other bathroom to save time and I didn’t want to interrupt you.” He looks a little embarrassed that I figured out why he was in there so long. “Breakfast?”

He must not know I skip no meals and not even worried about gaining too much weight. I’ll tear down a rack of ribs in front of anyone without a care in the world, “Yes, please! I’m starving!”

Nolan offers me his hand to follow him, but I pretend to be deeply reading from my iPad. This was all subterfuge, the less physical contact, the easier this would be. I follow him out the room and down the opposite hallway to a set of stairs leading directly to the kitchen. “We are both adults and I just wanted to say that a little stimulation never hurt anyone.”

Really? A little stimulation obviously made him hard, needing to beat his meat in the shower for at least twenty minutes plus actual shower time. “Look, I’m a virgin. I don’t know what it is you’re assuming about me, but I am not like the other women you’ve had in your bed! You’re right we are both adults and clearly your vast experience as an adult is with luring women in your bed with your charm and good looks!”

Nolan was clearly taken aback, utterly lost for words; at least out loud, “Elaina has never been touched by anyone? She is even more perfect than I thought.” How does being a virgin make me perfect? His internal dialogue better not be all about my cookie, he better keep his mind on these kidnappings.

Nolan took a step towards me while I stood on the last landing, and I took a step back. His eyes start to change instantly, becoming dark with flexes of deep blue again. I got nothing but an animalistic need to claim me as he advances his forward movement. “STOP!” my voice causes him to freeze in place. “Stimulation is merely a pure chemical reaction, raising the levels of physiological activity in the body and nothing more.” Nolan smirks at my synopsis while I close the case on my iPad.

We are in a staring match that seems to last an eternity. Thinking that he got the message, I proceed to move closer to the last set of steps, only to be pressed into the wall by his body and my butt cheeks squeezed. How dare he, the nerve of this mutt! Let me give him a taste of what I’m all about! I hit a pressure point just above his hip bone causing him to retreat backwards, “How’d you like that little bit of stimulation” walking away with my own smirk down the rest of the steps.

Nolan follows a few feet behind me clutching his left side. Teaches his ass to think I’m defenseless, I can do more than defensive moves, but my mother, the Empress, would grimly disapprove. At least I didn’t fracture any of his ribs.
