Star Crossed

Chapter 13

The Prince moved up for a kiss. It was anything but gentle, but Kara was getting used to it. He then trailed soft kisses over her cheek and went all the way down to her neck. As he nibbled on a soft spot, he plopped on her.

Kara who was kneading her fingers in his hair tugged on it roughly. She groaned, making him look up. "You're heavy. Get up," she said, frowning at him.

"You didn't seem to be complaining last night, my lady. And why must you talk to me like that? I'm your prince!"

"You are not my prince! How many times do I have to tell you that? I'm from an entirely different planet."

Mon-El gave her a small nod. He had to give her that, she wasn't even a Daxamite. But in a low voice, nudging his nose against her jaw, he said, "But I am your lover."

He looked up to see her redden. Chuckling, he brought down his lips on hers again for a kiss. When he finally pulled away and lay down next to her, he wrapped his arms around her and buried his head against her neck.

Kara lay very still, not knowing why he was doing this. Then she finally realized that Winn was guarding her room and he had seen the Prince come in. If the Prince stayed here too long, people would know.

She moved away a little to look at his face. "Winn is guarding the room," she said softly.

"I know. I was the one who wanted him assigned to you." Saying that, he nudged his nose against her neck.

"No, you don't understand. You have to leave. How will we even explain what you were doing in my chamber for so long?"

Mon-El sighed and sat up. "You worry too much, my lady." Saying that, he pecked her lips once and got up. She got up as well and walked him to the door. For Winn's benefit, Mon-El stood with the door open and said, "I'm glad you are well, Lady Kara. I had a nice time talking about Krypton. We should do that again."

"Thank you for checking in on me, Your Highness. You are very kind," Kara replied, sarcasm dripping from her tone.

"It's my pleasure, my lady. I know you are unwell, but would you like to join me downstairs so I could introduce you to my cousin, Princess Cait?"

"I would like that very much." Kara gave him a genuine smile hearing his words. He returned it with a charming smile of his own and said goodbye to her and walked away.

Just as he was about to disappear down the hallway, they heard a loud voice calling out Kara's name. She turned around to see it was Kal-El running down the hallway, shouting her name. Hal-An was walking quickly behind him to catch up with the little boy.

Mon-El stood still waiting for his guard to join him since he knew Kal-El would be with Kara now and Winn could guard them both. He smiled when he saw Kara going down on her knees and opening her arms wide for her young cousin.

"Kara! I heard you were unwell." Kal-El threw himself at her and she caught him in time. Hugging him tightly.

"I'm better, Kal. How have you been?"

"Very well! Mother says I can spend the whole day with you!"

Kara smiled and stood up; taking her cousin's hand in hers, she led him into her room, not before asking Winn if he had had his breakfast. When he said he did, she smiled and waved at him before disappearing through the door.

Mon-El began to walk away, but stopped when he felt Hal-An following him. The guard greeted him with a bow and updated him about everything he had missed last night after he left with Kara. Mon-El was relieved to know that no one was suspicious when he had left.
