TRAPPED

THIS MEANS WAR

I had never initiated a kiss before but as I listened to Liam's words and looked into his eyes I couldn't help getting a warm feeling in my heart and without thinking much about it I pulled him in and kissed his lips, of course he was shocked but then he relaxed and put his hand on my waist then kissed me back deeply.
He nibbled on my lower lip making me gasp and open my lips as he slipped his tongue into my mouth and kissed me hungrily with passion. He lifted me up from the chair I was sitting on and put me on the laps as we continued kissing, I could feel him hardening and poking me as I rubbed up against him. That contact made me moan and Liam groaned deeply as he kissed me harder, his hands around my waist making me rub up against him even more.
We continued until we were both breathless.
Liam looked up into my eyes and cupped my cheeks
"you're amazing"  he said with desire and passion, I couldn't help blushing and shyly looking down. I was still sited on his laps and he was still aroused from the feel of his hardened member poking me
"Does this count as adultery?" I asked and he chuckled softly
"Maybe.." he responded and I got off his laps
"I am sorry, I just can't help being restless" I confessed
Not knowing what was going on was killing me and I couldn't take it anymore, I had run out of patience.
"I know its hard to sit waiting for your fate to be decided but tonight just be a little more patient, tomorrow I'll send word to the king and let him know that I don't intend on throwing you back to them because you are going to be my queen, that's if you want to of course "
Liam was so considerate and I loved the fact that he wasn't just ordering me around, he was actually giving me a chance to speak out and say what I wanted.
" I'd love to stay here with you if you'll have me" I told him and he smiled broadly then stood up and came to where I was standing
"I am really glad to hear you say that, you made the right decision" he said and kissed my cheek  "I need to have a shower then I'll meet you in the dining area shortly"  he said with a naughty smile as I blushed and looked down then he kissed my hand and walked away.
This was really nice and I wished I had met and gotten engaged to Liam sooner instead of having all the complications which were following us.
During dinner Liam kept stealing glances at me and smiling while I shied away and avoided eye contact. After the amazing dinner he finally invited me to go and check out his chambers. I was nervous and my palms were sweaty
"calm down Kira, you're just seeing it, he wont make you do anything" I told myself as we slowly walked down the hallway.
We finally reached the door and the two guards standing outside opened the thick door.
"after you" said Liam and he moved to the side with a little bow as I walked inside, such a gentleman, and humble too.
"Thank you" I looked around in awe, the room was huge with a huge four poster bed in the middle. The three walls were covered in paintings and pictures while the fourth one had a huge mirror. He had a long couch which seemed to be covered in leopard skin and a really thick table and the carpet looked luxurious and thick, just like the golden and white beddings.
"Do you like it?" asked Liam
"It's incredible" I responded and turned to look at him
"Once we get married it will be ours." He stated
"Ours?"
"Here the first wife always shares the chambers with her husband, if he gets a second wife or mistresses the man has to meet them in their chambers, they don't come to his chambers" he explained to me "... but you don't have to worry about that because you are more than enough for me" he said and pulled me closer in an embrace
"but, what if I fail to give you an heir?" I asked him worriedly, that was the major reason most kings got second wives.
"I have a lot of sisters who have little boys, I don't mind one of them taking over after me." He said and I felt a little better, it was rare to find a king who didn't mind giving the throne to someone who wasn't their biological child.

HAKEEM.

"you did this!! You made her run away!" I was yelling at Amina in her tiny quarters, it was all her fault that Kira had run away, or maybe it was my fault because I had failed to have Amina punished for her crimes, the poor maid she had sent had even died.
" Don't you dare yell at me, if you hadn't started going after her everything would have been fine" she retorted and I felt like slapping her
"You are married to a freaking crown prince who had a wife, its time you learnt how to coexist with the other woman. my father has three wives and mistresses, you don't see them trying to murder each other do you?!" she had really crossed the line and if not for the fact that she was pregnant I would have let my father deal with her as he saw fit, screw the promise, she had attempted to murder someone.
“You never said anything about this, you said you loved me and would take care of me, that you would do anything to make me happy" she started sobbing
"I would have never picked her over you, but you just had to try and kill her. I can't even look at you right now" I stormed out of her room
"Hakeem please...don't leave me here!" she cried out loud but I didn't turn back.
The moment I stepped into the main palace I was called to the throne room
“Any news on Kira?" I asked my father as I sat down
" King Liam claims to have her and he has made his intentions of marrying her clear, he demands I carry out the divorce as soon as possible" my father explained and I laughed coldly
“That little moron, just because he is king he now grows big headed...we will crush him" I said
“Are you sure thats the right course of action? You rejected Kira ...we can avoid bloodshed and just let her go" said my father and I couldn't believe it. But I knew that if I started whining about how I had fallen for her he wouldn't take my side
“Father, Liam just gave you a reason to attack him. We have a powerful army and we can get rid of him and conquer his land rich in minerals, he doesn't even have heirs so once we capture him, his bloodline will die with him and not only will we be powerful but rich and vast too...just think about it... and no one will blame us because he is the one provoking us by keeping Kira" I spoke and hoped my father would change his mind and attack that little brat.
