"Andrews, you must listen to Madam Maurice. She is going to teach you how to please a woman. You need to learn this so you can help me make business deals" my uncle tells me. "Yes sir" I reply. "You are fourteen now so you are old enough to know these things" he continues. He lights his cigar and sits behind his desk. My uncle is King Richard of The Snow Kingdom. My parents died when I was two which left me in the custody of Richard. He was not married and a witch had cursed him years ago so he couldn't have his own heirs. This meant I was next in line for the throne. He had gone crazy trying to break the curse so he could have his own child be the next king, not his brothers. The doors to his study opened and Madam walks in. She was a tall poised woman with white hair and blue eyes. She was an older woman and was the head mistress of the kings. "Andrews, there you are dear" She sings out as she walks over to me. "Are you ready?" She asks. "Yeah I guess so" I reply and look at her. She smiles and looks at my uncle and gives him a nod, then leads out of the room. We walk to her chambers and she shuts the door behind her, locking it. "It's time you learn how to please a woman Andrews, and I will be the one to teach you everything" She whispers to me as she starts to unlace her dress.

"Andrews you beautiful bastard!" Blaze hollers behind me. I turn around and see him jogging to catch up to me. "Hey mate" I say greeting him. "Bro I gotta say, I love having you here" Blaze exclaims. I laugh and pat his back "I enjoy being here, The Dark Kingdom has very beautiful woman" I reply as we walk down the paths in the garden. "Well that's true, say you gotta let me come to The Snow Kingdom. I'm sure the ladies would love me" Blaze says confidently. "Well if you have taste in pale people with blue eyes and white hair, then they are perfect for you" I inform him. A few duchesses pass us and we both stop to watch them walk by. "Damn" Blaze hollers at them then laughs "So all of the snow people look the same? Why is that?" Blaze asks. "I'm not sure, witches and doctors say its because of the weather there. It snows year round so perhaps that's why." I answer him. "Yeah I gotta go there, sounds hot" Blaze jokes, he picks an apple from a tree then takes a bite.

We continue to walk down the paths then make our way back into the castle "I need to go work out, care to join me?" I ask looking at him. He nods and says "Yeah bro, let me go see if AJ and Ronin wanna join. Is that cool?" "Yeah sounds good, see you in a bit" I walk down the hall and to the gym. Once I make it to the locker room I change into my workout clothes and decide to not wear a shirt today. I hate working out in shirts, plus I have worked hard on my body and like showing it off. I look at myself in the mirror and flex, hell yeah I am hot. A few minutes later the rest of the guys walk in and change as well. "AJ we gotta get your muscles up mate" I say laughing. AJ flexes and shows a little muscle "I'm getting there!" he hollers with a laugh. Ronin chuckles and shakes his head "Damn coast guards got nothing on us knights" He flexes and shows his ripped body. AJ looks at him shocked "We are trying" he replies. "Today is my boxing day" I announce as I grab my gloves. "Boxing sounds good, we can all do it" Blaze agrees then hands Ronin and AJ some gloves. We all stand in front of our boxing bags and start punching.

A few hours later we were done with our workout we boxed, lifted weights, then wrestled some. I was dripping with sweat as I made my way down the hall. I caught a few nobles checking me out as I walked to my chambers. Once I arrived I walked in and saw a letter sitting at my desk. I open it quickly then read it

Andrews, come back home to see me or I will come to you. I miss you dearly and think of you often. I hope you have forgiven me by now. Know that I love you so much.

- xoxo Madam Maurice

"What the fuck" I mumble after I read it. I rip it up and throw it in the trash. She hopes I have forgiven her and wants to see her? No way in hell, I haven't seen her in years and don't plan on seeing her anytime soon. I feel my anger building quickly and try to calm myself down. Before I can think I punch the wall next to me. My hand goes through the wall and my knuckle splits open, covering my hand in blood. "Fuck" I holler as I run to the bathroom and wrap it with a towel. The towel quickly becomes soaked in blood. "Damnit I need stitches" I say frustrated. I quickly walk out of my chambers and into the infirmary. "Hello?" I call out as I walk in, the room seems empty. "Yes?" I hear a voice say. I look as see the red head I ran into yesterday. "Oh it's you ginger. I think I need stitches" I say raising my hand. She sees the blood soaked towel and gasps "Come sit over here on the bed. I'll get my supplies" She tells me as she walks around the room getting what she needs. I make my way to the bed and sit on it. She walks over and carefully unwraps the towel "What did you do?" She asks as she gets a wet cloth and starts to clean my hand up.

"I punched the wall" I answer her, looking at my hand. "Now why in the world would you do that?" She whispers as she carefully cleans the edges. "Reasons" I say quickly. She stays quiet as she cleans my hand. I look down at her and watch her face. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she was concentrating on my hand. This was the first time I have noticed how beautiful she was. I have been around her quite a bit, yet this was the first time I noticed her. She has beautiful green eyes with freckles across her cheeks and nose. She was pushing her full lips together while she started to stitch my hand up. My eyes wondered her face then looked at her hair, it was red. She kept it in a neat lower bun. I caught myself enjoying to look at her so I quickly looked away. "Are you almost done?" I ask.

"Mhm, Yeah just a few more minutes Lord Andrews" she says quietly. A few minutes later she was done and looked up at me with a smile "All done! Come back in three weeks so I can take out your stitches" she informs me then stands up and writes in her chart. "Was is your name?" I ask her, looking at her. She looks up from her chart at me "Willa" she answers. I watch as her eyes drift down my body and look at my abs. I chuckle "My eyes are up here, Willa". She coughs and looks up at me quickly "Yes, I'm sorry" She turns around and starts to write in her chart again.

I turn to walk out then she calls out my name "Lord Andrews" she says. I turn and look at her "This better be you telling me you want me in your chambers tonight" I say with a smirk. She scoffs "Not at all, I just wanted to tell you to leave me alone. What you said about my husband the other day was wrong. He satisfies me plenty and he does it way better then you ever could" She tells me sternly. I could tell by the look on her face she was nervous saying that. My jaw clenches "Right" is all I say. She gets a confused look on her face "Right? Is that all you have to say?" she asks. "Yeah" I reply as I walk out of the infirmary.

I knew she was lying, but damn it did bother me. I don't like being told no and I definitely do not like waiting. I don't know what drove me crazy, but something about her did. Getting caught up on a woman was not my thing. I had a fear of commitment and was not the marriage type. Once I got into her bed I would be over her. That's all it was that was driving me crazy.

Right?
