Chapter 52: 52: Making Claims

"Jake and I are just friends and I definitely don’t love him like that." I breathed out but he didn’t seem convinced.

"He was making you laugh and had his hands all over you. I didn’t like it. I should break his hand for that." He continued, sounding like he was discussing the weather.

"He was just messing around, I swear," I added and the prince sighed, still appearing quite unhappy. My heart fluttered in my chest as I blinked up at him. Something seemed to have convinced him in my eyes before he finally sighed and nodded.

"Alright, I believe you."

Relief flooded me because I definitely didn’t want him to hurt the only friend I’ve ever made.

"You served Vlad yesterday, right?" He suddenly asked and I stiffened at the mention of the prince that had used my mouth against my will. At once, disgust filled up my stomach and I felt nauseous. I nodded slowly while pushing the thought of that sick prince out of my mind.

"Did he hurt you?" He asked and my eyes widened as I tried to figure out how he thought of that.

"Your scent was on him, I figured more than serving him went down between you two. So, which is it?" He questioned and I swallowed emptily as I averted my gaze.

I want to tell him what Vlad did to me right now. But somehow, the words refused to move past my throat. I felt embarrassed and ashamed even though it wasn’t my fault that Prince Vlad chose to hurt me like that.

I let out a shaky exhale and shook my head as I stared up at the Prince. He kept staring at me before he rolled off me and sat up.

I suddenly felt cold, reminding me of my shirtless state.

I stared at the Prince’s imposing back hugged by a loose shirt. Was he mad at me? Did I do something wrong by refusing to speak?

My stomach was in knots in an instant and I didn’t know what to think or do right now.

When the crown prince glanced down at me, I sucked in a sharp breath as my heart pounded awsy. I wasn’t sure of what I expected him to do. To hit me? To scream at me and demand an answer from me?

What I didn’t expect was for him to crook his middle finger in my direction as he spoke. "Come here, little human."

My stomach filled up with heat, heart starting to flutter all over again as I pushed up and moved towards him. My heart was racing really fast and I was nervous as hell as I got to his side.

When he patted his imposing looking laps, I almost fell off the large bed.

Was he asking me to... climb over his laps?!!

His eyes met mine and my breath caught in my throat all over again just as he spoke.

"Come sit."

When I still kept blinking at him, his hands reached out to settle on my waist, then I was being lifted and deposited over his laps. I felt hot all over again and my cheeks burned brightly as his hands settled around my middle. My legs was stretched out across the other side of his bed and I had to turn my head sideways for our eyes to meet.

His laps were hard and filled with so many muscles and his large palm settled over my stomach and lower back, sending heat searing through my skin and leaving me feeling feverish and breathless.

"Is this okay?" He asked in that low voice of his that sends shivers rolling down my spine smf goosebumps erupting across my arms. I nodded after managing to suck in a deep breath.

"Y- yeah." My voice sounded quite breathless to my own rate and I wanted the earth to swallow me up at once.

A hum eased out of him, which I felt coming all the way from his chest which my shoulder was currently pressing into.

The prince’s eyes were more intense and sharper in this position, and it felt like he was staring right into my soul. I felt hot from the inside and his hands on my bare skin were making that hotness grow even worse.

The prince leaned closer. My first instinct is to pull away, but this time I couldn’t because I was sitting in his laps. He didn’t stop till his nose slightly brushed mine.

"Are you scared of me?" He asked after a few heartbeats.

My eyes widened and my pulse dropped as I slowly shook my head.

That made a small chuckle thumble past his lips. The sight was so beautiful, it made his face light up in such a good way.

"Liar."

He stated and my heart jumped into my throat. I wasn’t to argue, to assure him that I wasn’t scared of him, but I wasn’t sure if that was what he wanted to hear, and I was being very careful to not unknowingly make him angry, so I ended up not saying anything.

His hold around me tightened as he tugged me closer, his lips grazing my cheek and I shivered slightly as he spoke.

"That’s alright, because I am very dangerous and I can easily snap you into two right now since you’re so small and... fragile."

My heartbeat accelerated and my eyes widened as fear flooded my insides at once.

His hand left my stomach to meet with my chin, and he lifted my face with a single singer pushing my chin up.

"But I won’t hurt you, okay?" He continued and my breath caught in my throat.

"Okay." I whispered, not knowing why, but deep within me, I believed him.

"I’ll protect you instead." He added and I swallowed as I nodded. I was unsure as to why a prince like him was saying this to someone like me, but it made me feel all fluttery and warm inside. This morning in Prince Zade’s room was proof enough that he was being serious.

His finger underneath my chin moved upward till his hand wrapped around my throat. It was unlike the tight, strangling grip he had on me, the first day I was assigned to serve him. This grip was loose, but at the same time, it was making my stomach clench tightly while my pulse raced fast.

"Because you’re mine."
