The Prince's Mother

Chapter 6

We ended up losing Cor at the docks. He decided to stay and wait for our return. When we arrived in Tenebrae we had a day to relax.

"So we are staying in a hotel?" I asked as we walked towards a big building.

"Yes, I've heard it's a beautiful building." Regis said as he led me inside.

He kept his hand on the small of my back, giving me little goosebumps.

"You're majesty." The bell hop said at he looked at us shocked.

"Room for Regis." He said with a smile.

They nodded his head and I let out a light laugh.

"Room 209." He said as he handed us a key.

"Thank you." Regis said as he took it.

I went to grab my bag, but Regis took it from my hands.

"Your- Regis... you don't have to carry my bag." I said softly.

"Please, what type of man would I be to let you do so yourself?" He asked calmly.

I followed him to the elevator and shook my head. He held the door for me and I stepped inside and hit the second floor.

"Regis, you don't have to carry my things. It's wrong of me to allow you-"

"You are my guest here, and to these people my date. It would be rude if me to not carry your things." He said softly.

I let out a sigh and nodded my head.

"Besides, it's the gentleman type of thing to do." Regis said with a chuckle.

"I've never been one to meet gentleman's." I said with a laugh.

"Yes, I wouldn't think Nyx Ulric would be one." He said calmly.

"Nyx? Oh I wouldn't touch him with a six foot poll." I said with a laugh.

The elevator stopped and we walked to our room.

"I thought you and he were.... an item." He said calmly.

"Afraid not. I'm perfectly single and have been for a long time. Hell I think it's been five years since I last slept with someone let alone talked fo anyone." I said as I unlocked the door.

"I'd say it's been over seven years for me." He said with a chuckle.

"Don't mind me, but how come? I mean no offense but you're a catch." I said as we walked into the room.

"Well the last person I was with, was Noctis' mother and all the other people I meet always just want the crown."

"Some people are stupid." I said as I shook my head.

We made it inside and I felt my cheeks heat up. In the middle of the bed was a giant bed and beside it was a hot tub. There was roses all around the bed.

"I think, Clarus ordered us a suite." Regis said with a chuckle.

"Well, we are suppose to be a couple." I said as I cleared my throat.

"Yes, I do keep forgetting that. I'll see if someone can clean up the roses."

"It's fine, besides someone had to put a lot of work on this." I said as I looked around.

"You may take the bed, there is a couch and I'll-"

"Regis, we are but grown adults. We can share a bed, for a few nights." I said softly.

"Of course." He said as he set the bags down.

"So when do we have to be at the gala?" I asked as I removed my jacket.

"Tomorrow evening. You're dress is right here. I had Clarus' wife pick it out. Cory told her you liked pink?" He said with a smile.

"Oh I hate pink." I said with a groan.

"Glad it's purple then." He said with a chuckle.

"You know, you're as bad as Cor." I said as I shook my head.

"There will be someone to come by and fix your hair if you need-"

"Oh I'll be fine. I've went undercover a lot and let's just say I learned how to fix my hair under stress." I said with a smile.

"Of course. Also it seems Clarus packed us swimwear so use the hot tub at your hearts content." He said as he went to sit down.

"Oh I am taking that offer." I said as I opened my bag.

I found a simple two piece swimsuit. It was black and covered very little up. I went into the bathroom and slipped into it, silently cursing Clarus. The top was fine, it mostly covered my boobs but the bottom, hid little to nothing of my ass.

"You asshole. I swear I'll hit you for this." I mumbled under my breath.

I walked out and saw Regis reading a book. He looked up and his cheeks went red.

"Clarus is never buying my swimwear again." I said with a laugh.

"I might pay him to." He said under his breath.

I sent him a look of shock and he cleared his throat.

"To not... pay him to not buy you swimwear." He said quickly.

"Sure. Eyes away from the ass, Regis." I said as I walked over to the hot tub.

I turned it on and waited for it to heat up. I heard footsteps and turned to see Regis go into the bathroom. I shook my head and climbed into the Hot tub with a sigh of relief. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. I'd have to thank the captain for picking me for this.
