Our Little Secret

Roman (26)

I finally told Kade. I didn't think it would happen this soon. I mean I'm glad I did. I trust Kade.

After we sat in silence for a while, we both eventually lost track of time. Mathea knocks softly on the door, snapping both Kade and i back into reality. Kade gives my body one last squeeze and then gets up. I make my way over to the bed.

"What?" Kade asks, only opening the door enough for Mathea to see his face.

"Is he okay?" Mathea asks ignoring his tone.

"Yes." He says, already closing the door.

"Okay then." She responds turning away.

"You're not going to ask questions?" He says, confused.

"No, I believe you." She finally says and walks away.

"I think she's leaving." Kade says closing the door and walking towards me.

I don't respond. I sit in my bed, numb.

I hear another soft knock on my door. We both just look at it, not moving.

"Roman? Are you in there? Dinners almost done and I can't find Kade to tell him." His mom says through the closed door.

""I'll be down. I'll text him." I finally say.

I hear her walk away.

"Are you okay to go down to dinner right now?" Kade speaks, standing up.

"I'm fine." I say faking a smile.

"Roman-"

"Stop no," I cut him off.

"Don't do that. Im fine really. Im not weak like I used to be. Don't treat me like im fragile." I say.

He just walks up to me.

"Trust me i won't love." He says gripping my jaw.

I tug on his shirt trying to pull him down. He doesn't move.

"Roman, we're only on like day three of your punishment." He taunts.

"Ugh fuck the punishment." I say without hesitation.

He just rolls his eyes and gives me a short kiss.

He walks out, leaving the door open. I sit in my room alone for a couple minutes before I face my father. I grab my phone. A text from Kade pops up.

Be good and we can rethink your punishment.

Before I can even react I hear my mother calling my name. I scoff and walk out of my room.

————————————————————————

Later that night after dinner, Kade and I decided to go for a walk. It was 60° out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was a perfect night.

We walk in silence, going no where. We both didn't turn around, to go back to the palace. Kade brought his backpack which I thought was odd.

"There aren't like murder weapons in there right?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Maybe." He responds flatly.

I just roll my eyes. He makes a turn that leads to a park. I don't say anything I just follow. Eventually we make it to the middle of the empty field. He takes off his backpack and starts to open it.

"What are you getting." I ask impatiently.

He doesn't answer. He just continues to open the bag. Eventually he pulls out a blanket. He lays it down on the ground flat. He begins to lay down.

"Join me." He says looking up at me.

I reluctantly lower myself next to him. We lay on our backs, looking up at the stars, breathing in the fresh air. Just the sounds of our breaths and crickets fill our ears.

I go to look over at Kade and to my surprise he's already looking at me.

"What?" I ask going red.

"Nothing. You're just handsome." He responds, turning on his side to see me better.

"Did Kade Harris just complement me?" I tease.

"Oh whatever." He says turning the other way.

"Wait no im sorry it was sweet" I say laughing, trying to pull him back.

He turns back around and he immediately kisses my lips, deepening it by grabbing my face. I breathe him in.

He breaks the kiss.

"What's wrong?" I ask, breathless.

"We need to re-talk your punishment." He responds also breathless.

"Okay start talking." I say, sitting up.

He sits up too, moving closer to me.

"Do you want to do this right now?" He asks.

"Oh my god yes."

"Okay then beg for it." He states.

"Please kade." I say, feeling embarrassed.

"That's not enough Roman." He says laying back down.

I straddle him.

"Kade please fuck me, I need to feel you." It just slips out without me thinking.

"Well if you say so," he starts grabbing my shirt.

"Your punishment is over my love."
