8 _ In His Bed Chambers [MATURE CONTENT].

Lucian lay on the bed thinking about the drama that had earlier taking place.

Damn Li Huang !!!

Damn them all!!!

The maid he had yelled at earlier came into the room holding a tray of food he had requested. She had a bleak expression on her face as she set the tray beside him.

Lucian got up and Went behind her. He circled his arms across her waist and pulled her to him , enjoying the warmth of her body. "Jian ..." He muttered in her hair.

The maid pulled away from him and curtsied." Your majesty." She said sharply , laying emphasis on the 'Your majesty '.

Lucian held her hands. "Come off it Jian . You know I didn't mean a word of it." He pleaded .

Jian moved towards the door that Lucian now rested agianst. "But it certainly sounded like it."

Jian knew she was in no position to act like this as she was one of his numerous Maids in the Palace. Although the prince craved for her comforting touch , If she ever made the mistake of pushing him to the edge, Lucian wouldn't hesitate to call in another maid servant to warm his bed.

He clasped her waist and pressed his mouth against hers. It tasted wonderful. Like Peaches and Chai tea .

She pushed him away. "This....This pretence. Out there you treat me like a worthless slave but now you profess your love for me. I'm tired of it Lucian." Jian spoke impatiently as she stood by his window.

Lucian sighed.

If only she'd understand.

If Li Huang ever got wind of his involvement with her, he wouldn't even hold his breath in ordering her death.

"I am doing my best, Jian ...

"Threatening to lash me is your best?" She said calmly. Jian moved closer to him and ran her hands up his broad Shoulders down to his taut stomach muscles "I'm tired of waiting Lucian."

She stopped her head. "Master Pei Yi , the Trade Merchant has already made a proposal to my father and he has accepted. I am to wed ...

Lucian grasped her hands and spoke hoarsely, his voice filled with raw emotion " I'll kill any man that dares lay a hand on you as long as I am Crown Prince of the Kanerria Dynasty."

Jian demeanour hardened as she challenged Lucian.

"Is this what I deserve Lucian? Soon, you will ascend the Throne. You will be happily married with your wife and children and I will forever be kept as your lowly mistress with nothing to call my own? "

Lucian came up behind her and Put his hand around her shapely waist."I swear on

my life , Jian ...I will love you no matter the circumstances. We shall see in due time but you have to bear with me. All this pretence is killing me. Have I ever deceived you?" He questioned as he kissed her tears .

"No." Jian gaze fell.

Lucian cupped her face. "So trust me. You know I hate to see you cry!" Jian chuckled lightly.

Jian turned to face him and hair hands went into his midnight hair and she pulled his hair down for a kiss. His mouth was full and dreamy, beckoning her to take him in to her .

Their mouths fused in an urgent need as Lucian carried her up in his arms. She loosened his belt and Clothes and tossed them to the floor. He in turn took off her vest and her dress. He smiled at the bodice that coveted her breasts until he ripped that off too.

Lucian dropped her on the bed and dropped the translucent curtains that covered them from any gaze. He kissed her numerous times while sending his hands on a skilled search for pleasure . He ran his tongue against the nape of Jian's neck , past her slimly fitted stomach and began working in between her thighs until her body writhed in desire. His fingers and lips teased and tantalized her until she was riding towards bliss with him.

Jian 's hand gripped Lucian's well-muscled body as she trailed his handsome features. She moaned as she felt him roaming about inside of her. His strong arms held her's apart as he pressed his mouth to hers and she whimpered in delight. Jian soared with him knowing he was gaining as much as the satisfaction he was giving.

Jian stroked his hard back where his muscles rippled with his movements and urged him to find his way home. She cried out his name as she bit on to his flesh as his nails dug into her skin in the heat of the moment. Lucian knew he wasn't hurting her. He issued a low throaty sound of release as he made his way into her and She arched her body to meet each thrust he made into her.

Lucian enjoyed her taste and savoured each touch . He was struck by her beauty when he first saw her. Her lovely smile made him die and come back when he saw her. There was no doubt she'd loved him , desired him and found ecstasy in his arms...

But these days something had changed.

It wasn't her. It was him. He still felt like something was missing inside of him. Something was absent...

But it wasn't her.

Their lovemaking became more frenzied as the power of it urged them higher , then carried them to bliss .

They kissed, caressed and made love until they lay exhausted on the bed.
