Prince Leonardo's' Virtues

Chapter 10

We were sitting in the room when Harvey came up and told us to come down to the ball. The girls jumped up and down happily and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not feeling well so I'll stay here" I lied, the truth was I didn't want to see him dancing around with Sam while his hands gripped her tightly around the waist as his hard chest was pressed against hers. Just the thought alone angers me.

"Who cares they were probably going to send you in the kitchen to help anyway". Lacey scoffed

"And I think you should stay to I don't think dogs were invited either" I replied dryly.

I had to sit through a whole half hour of her complaining about her dress and her hair and her shoes, all I wanted to do was strangle her.

After they left I walked out to the balcony by our bedroom and sat down. I had my sketchbook in my hand as I flipped through the pages, my hands stopped when I came across the first sketch of Prince Leonardo. A small smile broke out on my face as I traced the lines on the page.

I looked out at the view in front of me, there was a slight drizzle of raindrops and the air was cool and calm, made me feel almost relaxed.

"You rather sit here than come down to the ball with me" i heard from behind me and my entire body froze as the sketchbook fell out of my hand and landed by my feet.

I had to breath slightly to suppress the electrifying emotions that shot through my heart.

"You already had a date i'm not going to be the third wheel or in this case the fourth". I said softly.

He walked in closer so that I could feel him standing behind me. The wind blew and we were encircled with his scent, I could already feel my heart picking up.

"You could be my only if you had just said yes" he whispered near my ear.

I turned around slowly to look at him. There was a dark glow to his eyes and he looked as though he was trying control himself. My eyes trailed down to his soft slightly full lips.

"Is that why you torture me?" I whispered.

"You're the one that's torturing me Julianna, I want to make you mines. Forgive me if I made you jealous by not taking you to the ball with me".

"Is that your idea of a punishment?" I asked.

"I was not punishing you-"

"Then what were you trying to do then!" I said my voice slightly raised.

"I'm doing what you want me to, you said to wait and I am, Don't be upset with me if you get jealous in the process this could have been over, you're the one hurting yourself here". He said sternly.

"Well you're doing a fine job at convincing me otherwise. Why are you up here? Did you just come to argue you with me!"

"No! That is not why I came" He said exasperated

"Then go back down to your ball" I said and I pushed him hard against the chest but he didn't budge, instead his hands instantly gripped my arm as he held it against his chest.

"This is what I came for" he said in a low voice that made every muscle clench in my body.

He pulled me flush against his hard chest and his arms cupped my face as his mouth crashed hard on mines in the most passionate, mind blowing, fiery kiss. Though we have kissed before it feels like the first time. He was ravishing me as if this was on his mind all day.

My back was against the wall as he kept on with his torture on my lips.

When he pulled away his eyes held a mixed amount of emotions, I could feel his lust and longing in the way his chest was moving up and down quickly.

"Julianna-" he breathed out." The next time I kiss you I wouldn't be able to hold myself back".

His breath was fanning my face as he pierced into my eyes intensely.

"Tell me you feel the same as I do Julianna" he whispered.

"I don't deny it, in fact I find myself wanting it more every time I see you".

"Then let me have you as mines" he whispered again.

"You can" At these words his eyes went wide as if he had just heard the best news in his life. His mouth was slightly parted in shock.

The door for the bedroom flung open making us both jump.

"There you are-" Sam said." The dance is about to start and everyone is waiting for you, we can't disappoint your father now" she said as she walked over to him pulling him by the arm.

She looked back and forth at us oblivious to the fact that we were standing extremely closely.

"I'll be down in a minute Samantha" he said sternly his eyes never leaving mines.

She gave him a sheepish laugh. "Don't be silly I'll wait right here" she said as she sat on her bed.

I gave him a small smile and I could see the emotions in his face.

"You better be on your way now" I said softly.

"But we're not finished-"

I cut him off." Your father is waiting, you don't want to embarrass him" I said.

He hesitated before nodding his head in defeat." Please don't change your mind" he whispered again before turning to leave with Sam.

"I won't" I replied as he gave me a final look before closing the door.
