The Scandalous Betrothal

Chapter 3: Mikal

Mikal and Annaira's outfit in media

ANNAIRA's POV (cont.)
I wake up and realize It is the day Prince Mikal is supposed to retrieve me. I groan and sit up in bed. Once I sit up I see Lucas standing over me and I scream and throw my pillow at him.
"WHAT THE HELL LUCAS?!? What are you doing in my room?"
He laughs at my reaction and says" I was sent to make sure all tasks were complete." He breathes in really slow and squats down on the side of my bed to be eye level with me and finishes "it seems like those honey and oatmeal baths are working really nice because you my dear smell...Devine" as we hold eye contact I can't help but to gulp and shudder and his remark and feel a blush creep up to my cheeks. I also felt heat rise somewhere else and I scolded myself. Right now is not a good time to be getting aroused Annaira.
It took everything in me but I snapped out of it, pushed him away to put space between us and said" you're such a pig, but the bag with everything on it is on my desk. Go fetch doggy". He just laughed and shook his head, I took that moment to ask "anything else you need? If not get out so I can get dressed" he replied,"although I would love to stay and bother you some more, this is all I need and I will be waiting for you downstairs." I was confused, "I thought he was coming to retrieve me?" I asked. He simply said, " oh he is" and walked out the door. After that I went to handle my hygiene and got dressed. I decided to leave my natural curls as they were and headed downstairs.
When I got to the dining room where everyone was Lucas was there waiting for me as he said he would be and once he seen me a look of pure desire swept his face and it made me melt. Why was he reacting like this? I was about to marry the prince, his bestfriend.
" oh you look beautiful my Naira bear" my mother said, calling me the sweet nickname shes kept for me since I was a baby.
"Thanks mom" I replied, then turned to Lucas and said, "sooo where is Prince Mikal?"
"I'm right here" a smooth and silky but deep voice said from behind me. I could tell he was standing sort of close because I could feel his body heat radiating on to me. I turned around and was met with his tall solid figure. He breathed in deep just as Lucas did and said "your scent is intoxicating. I can only imagine how you would taste." His eyes wandered over my body and I could literally hear my father cringing. I moved my arms to cover myself up as I began to feel really uncomfortable. "Well say your goodbyes. We should get going now if we want to stay on schedule" Lucas said while walking up to stand beside me and making me feel 100 times better. Mikal got a glint in his eye as he noticed Lucas's action of affection and said, " yes you are right. Come my bride" and led me outside to the car and away from Lucas.
