His Girl

Chapter 23

My story was now out.

I was now the most eligible wife, due to being the heiress of such a rich and powerful Kingdom. Power greedy kings and princes vied for my attention and jealous cliques of aristocratic girls gossiped hatefully about everything I did. Since I was now acknowledged as high ranking royalty I was granted an exquisite room, which conveniently happened to be opposite Jackson's, I wonder how that happened.

Audric was wary of me but wasn't suspicious of my motives as it was clear I loathed my father. He openly encouraged Jackson to further our relationship as he now saw me as a huge benefit to Lothelor. Only a day had passed since I had revealed the truth, and luckily my father and I hadn't met in yet another 'loving' reunion.

I pushed the door of my new room open. The space practically breathed luxury with its astronomically expensive furniture, all of which had gold streaks running through. The bed was giant, it's covers were made of thick velvet with crisp silk sheets, it was almost as comfortable as Jackson's, but not quite. I noticed the door of the wardrobe ,that was from China, was slightly agar. I walked cautiously towards it, frightened that a person may be crouched inside it. I spun the door away forcefully and my eyes widened in amazement. Sure enough the wardrobe was now tightly packed with beautiful gowns. I ran my hands across them, their delicate material slipping through my hands. These dresses were all gorgeous and were not overly elaborate and frivolous as the ones Rachelle had dressed me in, they were perfect. A glanced over to the small glass table that stood to the side of the wardrobe to see a note. The note was scrawled in intricate writing and read.
A wardrobe fit for a queen.
Rachelle

I grinned at the note. Rachelle must have now decided that since I was no longer a mistress and was in fact royalty, I needn't dress so provocatively. I looked down at the plain dress I was wearing and decided to change. I picked out a deep green gown that had a tight bodice with a flowing skirt. I had just slipped the dress over my body when the door burst open. In strode Jackson, who clearly didn't think it polite to knock.
"Whoa, I clearly came in at the wrong time." He said looking at me then smirked and walked up close to me "Or the right time." He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I smirked back at him and pushed myself closer to him, little did he know that I was teasing with him.
"I was just getting out of these clothes." I said seductively in his ear. He gulped audibly as I placed a hand on his chest. "I was going to take all of them off." I paused as I inwardly chuckled at his reaction. "And then I was going to go into your bedroom, naked, get onto your bed and show you how I please myself." Not that I ever do, but I wanted to see the effect I had on him, I know it's cruel but he has done it many times to me. His grip on me tightened and he looked at me intently like he couldn't get enough. Then I sniggered and his face fell.
"Come on you know me, would I ever do that?"
"You were about to reenact one of my fantasies, do you have any idea how much you just turned me on?"
"Maybe another time, now help me do up this dress whilst your standing there." Very reluctantly he released me and spun me around so that my bare back faced him. He pulled the two sides together, making sure to touch my skin as he did so.
"I've decided to trust you." He said as he began to tie up the bodice. My heart lifted in relief. "And I have also decided that I am going to court you." I never thought he was going to utter these words and as he tightened the last lace I spun around and kissed him passionately. We were finally going to be accepted as a couple rather than the king and his mistress. Jackson seemed content with my reply and stood back from the kiss smirking.
"I'm irresistible, I know." He said cockily.
"Is that so?" I taunted as I folded my arms across my chest.
"You just can't get enough of me." He grinned and was waiting for a comeback when I said.
"I certainly can't." And crashed my lips against his again.

The news about me and Jackson shot around the castle like a cannon ball. Audric greeted the news with open arms and I received nothing from my father, who had disappeared from the castle after our meeting.
