Forbidden Love

Chapter 16

James POV:

"What have you done?" My father demanded. "You have made a fool of me!"

"I have done no such thing. I did not promise you a thing. In fact, I only promised Florence something and I have kept it well"

"Your loyalty does not stand with her"

"Then who father? She is to be my wife! You have made sure of that. You wish for me to love her and I do, now I love her too much? If I am to live my life with her I will defend and protect her as well."

"Boy, what has gotten into you? I never wished for you to love her! I wished for you to tolerate her, which you did! She has changed you"

"She made me realize that I am more than the son that will carry the burden of your unfulfilled dreams! If you do not agree with us, that is fine, but you will not meddle in my relationship"

I try to walk away but he stands in front of the door. "Move" I stare

"When did you make the decisions"

"The moment I woke up from the delusions" I open the door and leave.

Florence POV:

I was slightly started by James as he opened the door. I dare say he looked upset.

"What is the matter?" I asked as I smoothed his coat.

"My father. He is impossible"

"What has happened?"

He joins me in my bed and rests his head on my chest. "He wants me to tolerate you. He believes that I am taking entirely too long to ask for you hand"

"What do you think?" I ask, gently massaging his head

"I think he is being harsh. Why am I the only one who cannot live their life the way they please!?" He sits up and stares me in my eyes. "We can run away"

"What?" So laugh

"Scotland. If we make it to the border we can be married whenever you please. No else will matter"

"I cannot leave my family, James"

"We can always come to visit"

"That is quite a selfish thought" I mumble, standing up from the bed.

"You are all that matters to me"

"What of your brother? Will you not miss him?"

"I can send my brother a letter" He sighs

"I thought I was to be the adventures one?" I chuckle

"You are all I want and all I need"

"I cannot leave" I whisper

His lips meet mine and he sighs. "If you ever change your mind, tell me?"

"Yes" I smile

I watch as he goes and I could not help but hurt for him. He had not only lost his mama but he had the burden of his family to carry.

James did not shown for dinner and I had pondered why.

"Is the Prince not feeling well?" I question

"I suppose so" His father mumbles

I nod and finish my dinner.

I knock on his door to no answer. I walk in and the room was just as empty as it seemed.

I retired to my room and stripped off my clothes to get a bath.

The warmth of the water hitting my body reminded me of the feelings James gifted me.

"Do not wake me tomorrow. Do not check on me either"

"And why is that?" Mantis hums

"I am sleeping somewhere special tonight. I do not wish for you to be surprised that I am not here"

"Do you wish for us to tell your mama?"

"Please do not. She would not approve" I mumble

"Very well" She smiles

I hold my light as I quietly slip into James' room. I adored seeing people asleep, it showed how peaceful they were. I let out my light and lay behind him.

I wrap myself around him and I felt his body tense. The tips of his fingers linger on my arm as he tried to identify who it was that held him.

He brought my hand to his lips and gently laid a kiss. "Florence" He whispered confidently.

"How did you know?"

"I would know my wife if I had no eyes, sound, taste, or smell at all"

He turns to me and pushes the hair from my eyes. "You are the most beautiful woman I have laid my eyes on"

I rub my thumb on his cheek. "You must shave"

"You do not like my stuble?"

"I am not sure. It may feel well between my legs"

"Do you think so?" James whispered as his hands lingered down my body.

His fingers found their way inside of me. "Do you like that?"

I open my legs wider and his lips silence my moans. "James, I need more"

His pretty pink lips breathed a warm breath on my center. The groan I let out as his tongue met my wetness was unimaginable.

I huffed and puffed and his mouth worked. His two fingers pushed in faster with every moment.

I am not sure if James had more skill than the others but I had already felt my release. "Argh" I yelp.

He smiles and nearly rips off my nightdress. Wet immediately met my nipple. I dare say it felt nice.

I gently rubbed his head and a string of his spit left my body.

"Do not tease, James" whispered

I watch as he unbuttoned his pants and made his way on top of me. He held my leg as he pushed his way inside of me. I gasp at the sensation and desperately grasp at his body.

It was hard and passionate. "James, I-Ohh" I roll my eyes back as his hips only moved more passionately against mine.

In a few more thrusts we were undone. He had his cloth like always and I laid on the bed with my nightdress up above my torso.

"Do you wish for children, James?"

"I suppose so. It is our duty" He huffs, removing his pants altogether.

"Ignoring our duty, do you wish for them?" I ask, pulling down my dress.

"I have never thought about it. People like us have children because we must. I have never thought of something I long for."

"I want 3" I nod

He lays on the bed with me and sighs. "Then I will grant you three"
