THE BLOOD ROYALS Book 2: Long Live The Queen!

Chapter Thirty Five: A Lull

Renée's POV
The adventure started with a green thing with three wheels! We took something called a tuk-tuk. It was a green little thing with three wheels! It made so much noise and the driver must have thought he was in Fast and Furious! I held my heart the whole way but Reli was comfortable and he was laughing and making jokes with the driver about his driving. At some point, they spoke in Hindi and then he slowed down. He apologized to me when we got off. I think Reli noticed I was scared and he reprimanded him. We did part in good terms at least because he gave us his number to call him the next time we need transportation. I told Reli not to but I think he will give the guy a call.

The highlight for me, was the house boat floating in the water. There was nothing else around, no other houseboat, just ours. Lanterns were floating on. The water around it. I kissed Reli deeply to show him how much I appreciated the effort he put in to make this as relatable as possible. I'm not big on glamour and shiny things. That is my baby sister Laila.

He rowed the boat for us and I was more than happy to be absolutely alone with him. No bodyguards, no CN to weigh him down and make him all serious, just us. He insisted on bathing me and it was sensual. It paved the way to my sweetest drug, him pleasuring me. I didn't think I would be comfortable with it after Adair but my man has a way of making it feel too good to resist. He pleasured me until I was too exhausted to keep my eyes awake. The sweet lull of multiple releases sent me off to sleep.

I woke up in his arms. I got to steal a few minutes of watching the prince sleep. He smiles in his sleep. I took pictures with the little camera we promised to make good use of.

It feels like I closed a book and opened a new one that has a totally different theme from the old one. There is no Adair. There is no CN. There's no General or duty. The air feels different. He feels different. I feel different. It's the perfect start over and I sort of want things to stay this way. Away from CN. I want to have this man whose only duty should be to me, my supple dripping center and my heart.

"Oh! You're so pretty!" I teased him after my handiwork. "I think that if we have a daughter-"

"When we have a daughter." He cupped my bottom to pull me close to him. "When is positive. If is negative and I must have a daughter with you."

"When we have a daughter..." I blushed and spread some of that color into his silky black hair. "She will be the most..." I stole a sensual kiss from his lips taking care to gently bite the full part of the lower lip. My tongue didn't shy away from making it's presence known when I teased his. I pulled away keeping the graze light. His dark eyes are mere sexy slits. I love it when he looks at me like this. "... beautiful girl in CN. I swear... Your hair... Your thick long eyelashes, your soft brown eyes..."

"Renée, I don't have soft eyes."

"But babe you do!"

"Okay, if you say so..."

"I am the beholder."

"Hmmm... In that case are you saying I'm beautiful?" He frowned.

"So beautiful." I whispered. "And she will have your rich skin tone... All you."

He smiled at me. "I am sold! I want that. I want that very much." He tightened his hold on my hips. "I want to be a father, Renée. How soon can you make a father?"

I ran my thumb over his lips. "It depends on how soon you can get me pregnant." I whispered. "I love you... I love you... I love you..."

"Hey... Look at me. I'm going to say it back to you soon. But know that I appreciate that you do."

"I would rather you take all the time in the world and mean it Reli." I adjusted myself on his lap. It's quiet. When I told him the pregnancy story he laughed. He told me to stuff a pillow under my t-shirt so that he can imagine it. It was fun until I saw his longing expression. He wants to father a child and of all the women that walk this earth, he wants me to be the mother. Renée St Patrick, daughter of a General, the mother of a prince! Neat! "Though I wish we could have some more time for me to call you daddy... My daddy. Right?"
