The Cruel Prince Loves Her so She Agrees to Save the World

Training is my favorite time of day pt 2

Orion prepares for her dual with her betrothed. Already pumped up from her two previous fights she had an advantage. Though hand to hand wasn't her best, she was better with ranged or sneak attacks, she was confident she could handle this guy.

Her father, her  brothers, and the bystanders watching, the anticipation. King Osiris steps up and sets the rules for the dual..

***

"Since this seems a bit official duel, we will treat it that way." King Osiris begins. "This is a testament of skill in hand-to-hand combat, so no magic, Rion. You may choose a weapon." They all walk over to the weapon storage, and she picks up her best weapons. Daggers. He picks up a small short sword, barely longer than a dagger..

King Osiris sits down at a nearby table "let the dual begin" he finished.

"You think you can handle the embarrassment for your clan if you get beaten by a little girl" I asked him, insulted by his lack of a real weapon choice, I was taunting him.

"There's nothing embarrassing about you beating me, if you can." He replied mockingly.

Oh, gods he was really gonna piss me off. I need to focus find his weak point and use it.

I start to circle around him, and he continues to turn to keep facing me. Okay test his defense. I make my move. With quick speed I dash right throwing my first dagger at his legs.

Blocked.

He just blocked me with his sword. Okay. This could be fun. I hadn't thrown it hard or with real intent to hit him, just needed to know he was watching areas most people wouldn't at first with a dagger. He runs at me as I run at him throwing another dagger, he blocks again and then he swings his sword, but I duck and side step, at the same time he turned to meet me at his side switching the direction of is swing cutting a piece of my hair and then slams his elbow into my chest knocking me back. Shit. How did he know I was going to do that? It's like he knew my move before I did! Regain my footing, 6 more daggers I counted. He stood in the center waiting, leaning on his sword taunting me. My heart was racing.

Excuse me.

"Don't look so pleased with yourself, this has only just begun." I say testing his speed and awareness.

I zigzag my way to him, right then left then right again, he widens his stance to brace me coming from either direction. But instead, I slide fast, between his legs under him grabbing him by his ankles, yanking his feet out from under him and he lands on his face. I quickly turn to jump up, but he had already pushed himself up off the ground and was mere feet away from me. Wow he was really fast. He swings his sword down and I roll dodging it, I rolled on to my feet and as I did, he swung his sword up and I jump back doing a back handspring. Bringing me face to face with his sword again and I duck it and twist around him to the right. Pulling my dagger out and putting it at his neck. He stops. My chest was pressed against his back. I could feel the heat radiating off his back from moving so much and working so hard.

"That's 1" I said to him.

"Don't get too cocky Princess"  he teased.

Oh man, the sound of voice was like velvet in my ears as he draws it at out.

"I have a dagger to your throat; I don't think it's a real good idea to mock me right now"

"I think it's the perfect time" he smirked.

I am beginning to really hate that smirk. "There's something seriously wrong with you.

At that moment, I realized what he did. He distracted me getting the upper hand. Turning himself cutting his own neck a bit, he grabbed my waist with his free hand and sticking his foot behind mine and then pushed forward causing me to lose my balance.

How did he do that? I didn't even see him move. I dropped my dagger. Hand still on my waist he catches me before I hit the ground. And then with the sword in his other hand he points it at my neck.

"That's 1"

Ugh. He's really starting to annoy me.

He goes to stand me up some and as I come forward, I slam my boot into his foot.

"FUCK" he yelled. Letting me go I lunge forward some. Turning back to face him again, I could see blood trickling down his neck. From my blade at his throat, it caught me off guard that he stepped forward enough that when I took a step back I actually trip.

You've got to be kidding me. Tripping. Shit. He approaches me, sword coming to my throat.

No way am I letting him get like that, not as a result of my own clumsiness.

Fighting him is such a distraction, I can't keep my head in the game. Come on girl.

He was too fast, he's grabbed his sword and was closing the distance before I could react. When I moved to kick him he blocked it and grabbed my foot. Spinning me then he tossed me on to the ground and stood over me with his sword.

"That's 1, I old you not to get cocky." Theo said making fun of my defeat.

I swing my foot up kicking him right where it matter most. Serves you right. Shithead.

He drops his sword and bends down and leaning on his knees as he's breathing. I use this as my chance. I kick his feet out from under him. Jumping to my feet, I rush and get on top and straddle him. Putting a blade to his neck. Heat rises in my core and my heart pounding out of my chest, my breath was shaky. What am I doing? I am on top of HIM I can feel HIM between my legs. Feel HIS arousal. My face looks flushed as his cock was thickening under me. And that's when I noticed my own dagger was at my throat in his hand. He smiled and rolled us over, my dagger still on his neck and his on me. My hips sandwiched between the ground and him. He rests between my legs, and he leans down to me. Pushing his neck into my blade. He moves closer. Now staring in each others eyes a fire starts to burn me up inside. The space between my legs moistens. Gods he so hot. His gold pouring from his eyes all over my body. Melting me into the ground. I don't know how long I'd been staring at him, practically gaping, holding my breath, but then he knocked the dagger out of my hands.

"I believe that is 2 out of 3, I believe that means I win" he whispered into my ear.
