10. Long Enough

I was again late for breakfast. It was mostly brunch for me. I strolled into the empty dining room in the palace taking a seat next to my father.

"Why are you late?" My father asked.

"I overslept papa." I told him sweetly. He gave in and someone handed me a plate. Zander was however missing, Florence seemed anxious.

But all I cared about was Zander.

"What are you all doing today?" The king asked.

"The Queen and my mother and I are going out." Florence said, I was a little bit jealous that I didn't get to go, Florence always got what she wanted.

"What about you Eloise?" The King seemed like a really nice man.

"I will probably go over some notes." I told him.

"Well if your not that busy, I would love to show you something." He told me, and I nodded. The King seemed a lot better then his wife.

"Where's Zander?" The Queen asked Florence.

"He didn't come back yesterday." Florence told us all.

I instantly got worried and excused myself.

"Zander." I shouted quietly through the phone.

"What!" He said rudely.

"We're worried, where are you?" I told him.

"I just needed to be alone," He told me.

"I'm sorry for yesterday, but we can't do it ever again, your getting married to my sister." I reminded him.

"Eloise, I could find a way for us to be happy together." He told me.

"You could, but in the end there will always be one person unhappy." I told him.

"But..." He was going to continue, but I interrupted.

"No, just come back." I told him and hanged up on him.

I walked back in and carried on eating. Before we all got up Zander strolled in like nothing had happened. He grinned at me and I gave a low smile. Memories of yesterday came back, just the way he looked drove me wild. His sweet fast kissed giving me so much hope.

"Zander why are you late?" The Queen practically shouted.

"I was busy." He simply said. His hair was a mess and he looked tired.

"Well, breakfast is over, eat with Eloise and then we are all going down to the country house." The Queen told him.

His face lit up at the sound of eating with me. We're going to a country house that should be nice and interesting.

I sat eating in silence until he finally spoke.

"You look pretty today." He told me. I tried hiding my blush but it didn't help.

"Thanks." I murmured out.

"I agree." He simply stated.

"We shouldn't have kissed." He said as I gave a confused look.

"We shouldn't have especially at your engagement party." I told him.

I stood up and waited for him to join. He stood up and his talk towering figure made me tingle inside even if his hair was a mess and he looked tired as hell. He would always have a flare to him.

He grabbed my wrist quickly before I could walk away.

"But I think we should make a one time exception." He told me and pushed his lips onto my own.

The kiss was again sweet and soft and every moment of it was amazing. I couldn't stop it. My legs and arms felt weak under his touch and I just wanted to kiss every inch of him.

I moved down his jaw line to his neck and kissed lightly on it, he had my legs in his arms and my legs tangled behind his back. He was literally carrying me my back hit the wall again and I carried on kissing and biting on his skin. He let out a small moan as I did this. His sweet delicate skin becoming bruised and bitten into.

It felt wrong but so right at the same time. My lips trailed back his jaw line until he forcefully kissed my lips again, licking the top to get access inside. Which I declined, he pushed me harder making me moan letting him inside my mouth.

"Ahem." I heard someone say. Zander clearly heard and let go of me making me drop down on my feet. He looked around and I opened my eyes.

I really didn't want to know who it was. Zander gripped onto my hand as quick as he could.

I instantly blushed as I saw Zander's father look at us both.

"How long were you standing there?" Zander asked looking down.

"Long enough." The King said looking down at us both.

"Zander leave." The King said again.

Zander reluctantly let go and walked away, he seemed tense and a bit embarrassed, I would be the same if my father had saw me kiss someone other then my fiancé.

"I'm sorry." I simply stated.

"I understand." He said a bit slow.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Come with me." He told me and I followed him slowly. Was he going to scream at me, call me names or just be plain rude to me.

We started walking outside into a car, probably to the country house. Zander had probably gone with Florence, which made me a tad bit jealous.

"How long has it been going on?" He asked.

"Two days." It wasn't that bad, well it was, he was cheating on my sister with me.

"You both need to stop before you hurt the people around you." He simply told me.

"Stopping or continuing either way someone will be upset." I told him.

"You have too." He simply said.

"Your making me choose, and I can't, it's selfish, but I at least deserve something." I told him.

"Your naive, thinking he's the only one, he's getting married to your sister for god sake." He told me getting frustrated.

"I know." Simply saying.

He wasn't the only one, I needed to stop this. For good this time. No situations being alone, I would just walk around with my brothers or mother.

I couldn't let this happen again. Ever.
