Her Alpha Prince

15

Daniel kept checking his phone for the time. His parents were laughing at a story Amelia was telling about her time in culinary school. He wanted some alone time with her to finish what they started on the couch she and his mother were sitting on. Sitting with his leg shaking, he checked his phone for what felt like the hundredth time. It was closing in on ten-thirty and he wanted his mate. His mother caught his eye and laughed.

"I think we have overstayed our welcome. It was wonderful to meet you my dear and I look forward to spending time together. Once you and Daniel are mated we will begin the hard work of learning about our courts."

"I learned a lot in high school, but I don't know how to plan a party or anything," she replied and he smiled.

"Don't you worry about that, you and I will do it together. Stephan isn't retiring for a year, you will have plenty of time to learn." His mother squeezed her hand and stood. His dad stood and took her hand.

"It was lovely to meet you, Amelia. You will be a wonderful breath of fresh air to our courts," King Stephan said. Then he and the queen left the room. He shut the door behind them and locked it, turning to look at Amelia. She was up and cleaning up the dishes from their dinner.

"Is there a place I should put these?" she asked, pointing to the plates.

"Set them on that tray and I'll put it in the hallway," he replied, placing a kiss on her cheek. She was so cute cleaning up.

"You don't have to take them back to the kitchen?" Her look of surprise made him smile, he couldn't wait to spoil her as the future luna queen.

"No. We leave it in the hallway, and the maids will pick them up. Normally they come in after we eat, but we've been busy and our conversation was a private one."

"Wow," she replied, handing him the plates. He put them in the hall and turned back to his mate.

"Your parents are so sweet," she told him sitting back down on the couch. Daniel nodded and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

"They seem to like you already," he replied, dropping his shirt and walking around the couch. Her eyes widened, and he smiled. This was his mate, and he needed to feel her naked skin against his.

"I want you." Daniel held out his hand, waiting for her to take it. If she did he was taking her tonight and making her his.

"Does this mean what I think?" she asked, hesitating to take his hand.

"I want to make you mine," he replied and her eyes widened even further.

"You mean mate?"

"Yes. Amelia, you are my mate and I won't find another. I want to keep you here with me. I don't want you to go home." He knelt at her feet taking her hands in his, he needed her to know how important she was to him.

"I want to say yes," she replied shaking her head.

"Nothing will change us being mates. You heard the approval of my parents. As long as they approve no one else matters. I won't push you into mating me tonight, let's take this one day at a time," he answered looking into her captivating eyes.

"Can we still be intimate?" she asked, and he smirked.

"Yes." He picked her up and strode into his bedroom placing her on the bed, he stripped her of her dress looking at her curvy body clad only in a matching set of navy blue bra and panties. Reaching into a drawer, he pulled out a condom. She didn't want to mate just yet and he would respect her. His manhood hardened. Laying next to her, he pulled her into his arms. He still wore his pants and watched her reach up for his belt.
