Enchanted Royalty

Chapter 23

Madeline-

"Your Highness, your highness. You need to wake up or you'll be late for work." Meredith's voice was filled my ears. I was still naked; the bedsheets were still wrapped around my body. What the hell did I do-Oh god I had sex with Draco last night.

My eyes flew open, my hand searched for Draco's solid body but found nothing. I didn't know to be grateful or disappointed. Meredith gave me a strange look as I sat up with my blanket still wrapped around my chest.

"I...um was over heating last night." I lied, she nodded.

"Of course, your highness." Meredith said, she walked to the bathroom, I heard the bath turn on a second later. I wonder if Draco had left to work yet, or if he planned to avoid me for the rest of the night. It feels so strange that just a couple hours ago I was in bed with Draco, and now I'm sitting here replaying the memories, and wondering if last night was a mistake. And oh god, I still had my engagement ring on. Did I ever take it off? 

"Your highness! The bath is ready." Meredith called from the bathroom. 

"Coming,"

I took a bath, changed into a white pants suit, with a white v-neck collar, with some red high heels, and several gold necklaces. Meredith did my hair in a messy yet elegant bun and left right after. I thanked Meredith before dismissing her and used the floo to travel to my office.

I managed not to get anyway soot on my clothes, as I landed in my office, which was very important considering I was wearing all white. When I stepped in there were several people standing in my office. Michael and Draco stood next to a desk that wasn't mine. Two men were installing a large desk to the left of mine. 

"What the hell is going on here?" I asked,

"Orders from the king. He's order Draco to stay here with you, after the attack yesterday, we can't have risk anything happening to you." Michael said, 

"How did he find out about the attack? I didn't want anyone else knowing! Juliette!" I shouted, Juliette rushed in, a cup of coffee already in one hand and a newspaper in the other. 

"Give me the newspaper." She shoved the paper in my hand and set the cup on my desk. 

The Minister of Magic, Princess Madeline Ayer, attacked in her own office! Managing to take down yet another assassin.

"Rita Skeeter, god, I will have that women's head one day." I muttered throwing down the newspaper. 

"Listen it's only temporary, and Draco already has an idea of who sent the man from yesterday." Michael said, 

"Listen, I am the Minister of Magic, I want Draco to go back to his own office because he has his work, and I have my own work." I told Michael, the two men and Juliette hurried out the room, shutting the door behind him. Michael looked like he wished he could leave this room.

"I'm on orders from the King and Queen. I can't-"

"I am the Minister!" 

"I... can't do anything about it." He said, before clapping a hand on Draco's back.

"Have fun you two. I'm going to go see my wife." Michael said, I glared at him, as he took out his wand, and apparated out of the room. We sat down at our desks, not making eye contact. What do you say to your ex-boyfriend who you had sex with last night, and cheat on your prince fiancé with? 

---

There was an awkward silence that filled the room, it was threatening to suffocate me, if I didn't break it soon. We've been sitting here, working for two hours. The longest two hours of my life. Did we ruin the balance of friendship we had created by having sex?

"Fuck it, I can't take this anymore." I huffed, Draco almost jumped in his seat, startled. He looked up at me, his forehead creased with concern, his lips pursed.

"Madeline-"

"Don't Madeline me, Draco Malfoy." I shouted, standing up from my seat. I stormed over in front of his desk.

"Do you regret it?"

"Madeline-"

"No! Just say yes or no! Just tell me if you think we made a mistake. Because, oh Christ, I'm the engaged one yet, I don't regret it." I tried not to shout, I tried not to let Juliette hear, but I probably was shouting.

"Madeline-"

"And I probably am a horrible person for that! Because like who cheats on their fiancé and likes it?"

"Madeline-"

"And-" Draco jumped up from his chair, rushed around his desk, cupped my face and smashed his lips onto mine. I froze from the shock, Draco's tongue swiped at the bottom of my lip, and it was like I woke up from my frozen state. I fisted his black shirt, pulling him closer until our chest were touching, and his arm was around my waist, and his tongue was fighting mine.

"I don't regret it. I'm in love with you. I was in love with you when I was in America, and I was in love with you before I could even understand what love was. I will never ever regret last night, but when I told you that you'd be mine just for the night, I thought I meant it, but one taste of you and I want more. I can't have just one night with you Princess." He said against my lips. 

"I don't think I can just have one night either Draco. I love you, I want you. I love you."  I felt him grin against my lips. 

"God, you're going to be the death of me Madeline Ayer."
