Was this just some point to prove that he knew I was attracted to him even though I clearly hated him? My thoughts were so jumbled I couldn't work through them. Some very small voice in the back of my head was yelling at me and asking what the hell I was doing. But it continued to get smaller and smaller every time his fingers and lips grazed my skin. All I knew now was how amazing his skin felt on mine. It was clear where he was going. He was going to kiss me. And I wanted him to." [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]Complete

One headstrong and cynical prince, one tragic death, one new friendship, one potential love that never will go beyond the competition, and one Selection.
