Thy Gay Prince

Chapter 6

Noah's POV

I wasn't going to let the king tell me what I wanted to do. I was to going to do what I wanted. The only person I was going to let boss me around is him. Cade.

I wanted to tell him how bad I wanted him for so long, but I knew he never felt the same. Now I wasn't going to let that get in my way, I was going to show him how I felt.

His lips were so warm. So soft. But soon he backed away. I was heart broken, his face showed anger. He turned away and put his hand through his hair. He did this when he was stressed, why had I put this in him?

I looked down in shame. He was never going to accept me for who I was. Gay? That's what the king said. Yes, gay was who I was and would forever be ashamed.

"Cade..." I start but don't get to finish.

He turns back around and grabs my jaw. Then I feel his lips against mine again. Soft, warm and comfortable. He felt like home. His kisses kept coming more potent than the last. Then I push away from him, confused.

"Cade? I don't understand." I look at him.

I was so confused. How long has he felt this way? When was he going to tell me? Was he going to tell me? Or was I going to have to wait to get hints as he pushed away more women? Women who couldn't figure out what was wrong with them and why they weren't worth his heart. Was I worth his heart? I mean in the end I am just a baker boy, he's a prince!

"Trust me neither do I." He laughed his amazing laugh that made you want it to continue forever.

"Cade, I've felt this way for a long time but I didn't know you felt the same."

"I didn't know either, I just know that I have something for you." He smiles.

Then I see a figure in the doorway. I almost fainted. Cade turns around at my distressed face and goes white as well. It was the woman Cade was sitting by at the dinner table last night.

"Well I see you guys are a bit busy." She says.

"Please don't tell my father." Cade spurts out.

"You think I like to keep you guys apart?" She asks.

There was a bit of silence before either of us knew what to say.

"But I thought..." I start.

"No, I don't love Cade. Never did. I fact I'm revolted that I'm going to have to marry him." She puts out a little laugh and the tension lowers.

"Why are you joining our side?" Cade asks.

"Because I have a girl at home, I love her. We cried the night I had to leave for the dinner. In the end our situation is the same, we are fighting for the same thing. The chance for love." She looks down.

She had something to fight for, that's why she was joining us. We were fighting for something too. Whatever it was.

"What's your name?" Cade walks toward her.

"Valencia Derez." She whispers.

"What her name? The girl back at home?" I ask.

"Lily Halten." She says with a little more confidence.

It was almost as if she got confidence saying the thing she loved. It makes sense, growing stronger from saying the reason you fight.

"Okay, now that we got that settled." Cade mutters.

"Sorry I barged in on you guys, I can leave." She starts to turn to leave.

"Wait!" I yell. "Cade, what if you tell your father that she already has someone at home. You don't have to say the specifics but then you can't marry her."

"I don't know how well he'll like it but I could try." Cade starts to smile.

"Yes, maybe that'll work!" Valencia lights up.

Now that we had a plan we just needed to know when it will take affect. Of course I won't be able to see it happen but I'll get the details from Cade. Valencia walks towards us and half hugs us and then she leaves.

"See you at dinner." She looks confident now.

"Well that was interesting." I say and start to laugh.

"Yes, I guess you could say that." We both burst out laughing.

"I'll talk to my father after dinner so that we don't have a big fight like last time."

Cade turns towards me and gives me a light kiss. Then turns away again. He mutters something under his breath and smiles.

"You'll report to me after you talk to him right?" I ask him.

"Yes."

"Promise?" I wanted nothing more than his promise to come back to me.

"I promise." He looks at me with a sparkle in his eye and leaves.

I wasn't sure how "us" was going to work but as long as I was going to live I was going to fight for it. Fight for him because no one will tell me what I can and cannot do. But one thing I could say that's true is that I love him.

I love him. So much more than I could ever put into words. So much more than I could ever have imagined. He was mine and I was his, we will be together even if that means I get whipped thousands times over and over again.

I will fight against anybody, for him. Because he was my reason to fight.
