Malcolm's POV

Why the hell does no one want to talk to me?

Well I know why, but it doesn't make it less hurtful. I have known this family since I was a baby, and now they can't stand to be around me let alone acknowledge me.

I am going to end my night early, I am no longer in the partying mood.

"Mmm... Daniel.." I heard from the door, and I instantly recognized the voice.

I just stalled, Ebonie was moaning Daniel's name and my body just wouldn't react.

I felt jealous. Jealousy was not a foreign emotion for me, but to this extent is something else entirely. It was like my body was on fire.

Then curiosity got the best of me.

I walked over to the door, placing my ear to the door and I quivered.

The way she moaned his name sent chills down my body. My only thought was that she should be moaning my name not his.

Then the guilt hit me.

I had no right to feel this way. It is selfish. I left her. Daniel is my best friend. I have Claire, my fiance.

But that did not matter. I just know it should have been me in that room, making her moan that way.

I walked away from deciding to go for a walk of the castle grounds, but that did everything but what I wanted it to do.

My mind wandered to what would have happened with Ebonie had I not left. She would have comforted me and I would have fallen even more in love with her at our age.

My mom knew I loved her. My mom knew of my possessiveness of her, especially at the balls where she was shown to nearby princes who were trying to get her attention.

I always stole her attention, we always danced the night away with the dances we were learning. When I left I often wondered who continued classes with her, but it made sense when I seen the way how Ebonie and Jason danced together earlier tonight. They looked so insync with each other.

That should have been Ebonie and I out there tonight. We should've danced, and laughed like there was no one there. We would have been happy, and married.

We would be working on having our second child. We both want a big family.

But that dream was wiped from my mind as the sound of Ebonie's moan wandered through my mind yet again.

It was time to head back to my room.

I walked past the room where the party was, and I could hear from the volume that the party was starting to disperse slowly.

I continued my walk to my room, all I could hear was Ebonie's moan over and over in my head. It was on a loop, that was designed to torture me. 

I made it to my room, as Claire was undressing for the night. 

I charged over to her, and I just saw red. 

I grabbed her hair from behind, exposing her neck to me and attacked it. She emitted a low whimper, but I needed to her. 

I needed to get Ebonie's moan out of my head. 

I lead her over to the table with a mirror, and  bent her over quickly. She pulled up her dress, and I unfastened my pants. I jammed myself in not giving Claire a moment's notice, and her knees seemed to buckle.

So, I firmly grabbed her hips and  slammed myself into her at an unrelenting pace. Every time she moaned all I could her was Ebonie's. I looked at her face, but all I could see was Ebonie.

I pushed her head into the table, when Ebonie's face faded and Claire came back into focus.

I thrusted a couple more times, and Claire found her release. I kept imagining how, Ebonie would sound with me pounding her, her moaning my name and I followed suit not too shortly after.

When we both caught our breath, Claire stood up,  and began kissing me.

"Well, maybe I'll flirt a bit more if this is how you act when you are jealous."  She smirked, and went to finish getting ready for bed.

I was so confused by her statement. Who did she flirt with tonight? Then I realized she was rather familiar with a duke all night.

But, it still didn't bother me the way Ebonie did. 

Then I realized, I didn't just have an old crush on Ebonie but rather I was still in love with her.

I am in love with my best friend's woman.

Jason

Everyone had all left and it was only Queen Maya and I. 

I began to strike up a conversation.

"Your Majesty." I bowed, taking the seat next to her.

"You are Jason. Ebonie's right hand." She acknowledged.

"Yes, I am. But, I have a question for you. Do you have a horse stable?" I raised an eyebrow.

She looked offended by my question, but answered nevertheless. "Yes, of course. If you wish to ride ask Sebastian." Queen Maya motioned a guard forward, but I waved him off.

"I ask because I know Queen Ebonie likes riding horses, and maybe that is a way that you can strengthen your alliance."

"Oh, how forward of you." She said eyeing me suspiciously.

"My primary goal is to ensure Queen Ebonie has a strong and great rule. I am no stranger to the world as I have traveled, so if you think that you will betray her ever just know I will see to it your head will roll." She seethed at my words.

"How dare you speak to me that way? I am a queen!" She hissed.

"I care not about that. My loyalty is to Queen Ebonie. So, I would implore you to make your guards more inconspicuous when questioning about her, and her weaknesses. It is my job, to see what she can not. You have potential to become a great ally with Queen Ebonie's support, as we both know her blessing will make or break your country. So, tomorrow we will all go horseback riding and you will make it so abundantly clear that all your loyalty will go with her before this alliance is forged. Or I will have her burn your fragile empire and take it for herself, with the help of the new King of France." I smiled at her, and she just laughed.

"I admire your loyalty to her. But, I have had no guard question about her. If someone is looking to harm our alliance, I will have it settled harshly and quickly. However, if you ever threaten me like that again in my palace your head will roll." She stood from her seat.

"What a pity, I found you cute. Good evening, Sir Jason." Queen Maya winked and took her leave as well.
