A Night With The King

Since he became king five years ago and after all the meetings he has attended, this was the first time Lance genuinely wanted the meeting to end, he had not anticipated a call from the US president and he couldn’t just say no when he had been the one to ask to speak to him. He didn’t expect the response to his request to come so early, but here he was listening to an older man who was speaking too fast for Lance to keep up with while his mind was somewhere else, at least, the call is being recorded and he would go over them again because he wasn’t listening half of the time, his mind was still at the emerald house where he had left Sophie, if the damn call didn’t come in, they would have been naked and tangled up in bed by now. He couldn’t believe how fast things changed between them, all he had wanted to do was kiss her, just kiss her to check if he was really attracted to her and the moment he kissed her, had a taste of her lips, he became addicted really fast. It was as if he got a revelation.

Lance shook his head and tried to concentrate on what the older male was saying but it was worthless trying because he just couldn’t focus. Especially since the man was just bragging and barely saying anything of interest. He would rather be tangled up in bed with Sophie than this. He knew Patrick would go crazy if he found out what had happened between them. He half expected Patrick to be in his room when he walked in earlier but he was not there and when he called him, he told him he had driven somewhere and would be back soon, he was currently seated in the throne room with him and listening to what the president of the United States was saying.

Even though he wanted the meeting to end soon, it took over five hours, and by the time he bid goodbye to the president, he was ready to call it a day, it was his off day yet he still worked till evening.

“You don’t have to follow me to my room,”

Lance stated as Patrick walked beside him once the meeting was done.

“I have to, I have something to nag you about.”

The way he said nag made Lance know that the man was going to talk about Sophie again, and he was sure he wanted to know if he had made up his mind about letting her go, the thing is, he wasn’t about to let her go now when he just discovered the attraction that was between the both of them. Even if that didn’t happen, he still would not have let her go.

“What do you want from me?”

He asked as soon as they were in his chamber.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“When are you going to send her away? You saw what happened today, it would only get worse, not only did she get hurt, but the princess also did too, she was crying when she got into the car earlier”

He informed. Lance didn’t know what to do with the information, he didn’t expect the princess to cry because of him. Maybe she was just stressed as she had been traveling nonstop. He brushed it aside and instead answered the question regarding Sophie.

“I am going to keep her with me Patrick, I am not sending her away, she is going to stay just where she is even when she gives birth, unless she chooses to leave by herself,”

Lance meant everything he was saying, he had no intentions of letting Sophie go, especially now that he finally admitted to himself that he wanted her and she wanted him too. Not to mention, if he sends her away, what would happen to her? Surely, the people that tried to frame her would not want her alive and he didn’t want to make a mistake that would cause her life. His other reason might be an excuse as she might not be in any danger but still, he was looking out for her

“So, are you finally going to admit that you have the hots for her?”

Patrick asked with his hands folded over his chest while he stared at Lance judgmentally.

“Yes, I admit, are we good now?”

“No, we are not, Lancelot, that woman is carrying another man’s child, how are you forgetting that part?”

Patrick queried. Not like he forgot that she was pregnant, he felt it when he had touched her stomach a while ago, she wasn’t showing yet but when he touched her stomach, he felt the small curve that proved that there was a life growing inside her so he was damn aware but she already said she was no longer with the baby’s father so that wasn’t a problem for him.

“You think I am not aware of that? I know she is pregnant Patrick but I am still not going to send her away,”

“So? You are going to keep her with you? Do you have intentions of marrying her or you are going to keep her with you and once you get married what will happen to her?”

He questioned.

“I am not getting married now, am I? Why are you acting like I am getting married soon, I already called off my wedding remember?”

He reminded him.

“Yes, I know but you are the king, you would be required to get married soon. The elders and council are already mad at you, best believe they will only give you less than three months before they start asking to look for a new spouse, so what would you do with her then? I am asking what your plan is with her. If you have no plans then I suggest you leave her alone, you can keep her in the palace but don’t touch that woman, Lancelot, you can’t do right by her, it is impossible so don’t fucking touch her,”

Patrick warned as if he had plans to hurt her, she wanted him just as much as he wanted her, the way she reacted to him, the way she didn’t have a problem when he told her he would be back to finish what they started. She was all in too so why was Patrick acting like he was forcing himself on her?

“We are both adults, I am sure Sophie knows nothing serious can happen between us, stop trying to police me Patrick, I am not going to listen to you,”

He stubbornly replied.

“You never listen, don’t say I didn’t warn you, that woman is a foreigner and pregnant, I should not even be telling you to stay away but if you refuse to listen then suit yourself, that’s all I have to say, goodnight,”

Patrick said and before Lance could respond, he was already out of the room. Lance knew his concerns but he wasn’t about to let that stop him from exploring with Sophie especially not when she was into it too, the way she kissed him back was enough proof that they would be great together, plus whatever the elders said would not faze him, he had no intentions of getting married now, not even in the next five years, he wanted to focus on building the kingdom, what is the point of having an heir when the kingdom they would take over is not striving? He wanted to build an unbreakable kingdom that would be part of world power, then, maybe getting an heir would become his priority.

“Fuck that moral police, I am not going to listen to him,”

Lance let out as he took off his clothes, he wanted to go straight to the emerald house to finish what he started but he had to shower first. When he got out of the shower, he heard his phone ringing.

“Rose? Why is she calling me?”

He asked; he was tempted to not answer but he figured he at least owed her that so he picked up.

“Hey,”

he started softly, ready to hear her outburst.

“How is she?”

That was the first thing she said which shocked him and then he remembered she had apologized to Sophie before she left.

“She looked okay when I left her,”

He answered. She looked okay but very horny when he left her, of course, he didn’t tell Rose that. He was standing in the middle of his room in just a towel, talking with the woman he almost married and they were talking about the woman he wanted; today turned out to be such a wild day.
