Palace Secrets Read online

  I knew he was sick, it was no secret that King Charles was dying, but his rationale surprised me. "You did it to save him?" All this time I thought he'd done it for the throne, to take possession of it right away. Tears glisten my eyes. Am I a horrible person for thinking otherwise? I swipe them away and throw my arms around Alexander. "I'm so sorry I doubted you."

  "Who else did you tell?" Alexander asks. "Even mercy killings are punishable by death. Especially when it's the King's life I've taken."

  "Just Hannah," I say and glance at her.

  "I swear no one else knows."

  "Sebastian isn't saying a word," I say. "He's dead. Alexander, your secret is safe with us."

  He leans in, brushing his lips tenderly against mine. I allow myself to give in to passion, to feel everything I've wanted to for this man since the moment I met him. Knowing he's not a cold-blooded killer but he wanted to genuinely do something kind warms my heart and my insides. His fingers trail down my arm to my hand and he glances at Hannah. "Join us," he says.

  Does he want to touch her and please her? I try not to let the strings at my heart play a melody of jealousy. She's here because of me.

  Her fingers slip under my chemise, searching right for the prize. She wastes no time. Her touch is warm, comforting as she parts my folds. "You saved me," she rasps, dropping kisses to my jaw and neck. "I like this arrangement far better than hiding our relationship." She's feeling how wet I am for her and gently sucking my earlobe. I want to touch her, kiss her, make love to her. My hands can't reach her, however, they can seduce Alexander.

  "You have too many clothes on," I say, tugging at his breeches. "We need you naked."

  "Not so fast," Hannah says to Alexander and grins. "Arouse her. Make her beg for you to fuck her, she likes that."

  "Don't give all my secrets away." I tug at the hem of Alexander's shirt and he obliges, removing one article of clothing but not two.

  "Hannah is right. If you want my breeches off, you're going to have to beg. Though, while we're at it. You two are wearing too many clothes." While Hannah's fingers tease my folds and slip inside my warmth, I sit up to remove my chemise. Alexander lifts it up for me and the different angle causes a moan to escape my lips. Her thumb works faster and my head lolls back and eyes shut.

  "Not so fast," Hannah says and I can hear the smug smile on her face when her fingers slip out.

  "Why'd you do that?" I could kill her right now. Seriously.

  Is this why they both agreed to the three of us sharing one another? To somehow torture me?

  "Too many clothes," Hannah agrees and swiftly removes her own chemise tossing it to the floor, not wasting a beat. "I want you to say my name," Hannah whispers against my ear. I feel exposed, in the most beautiful way possible.

  "Flip over."

  "What?" I swallow nervously not sure whether I'll like it or not. I haven't done anything to demand getting spanked again. Besides, I don't want Hannah to see that side of Alexander.

  "Just do it," Alexander says and Hannah lets go of me smiling with desire-filled eyes and nods. She seems to trust him, as should I. He is, after all, my husband and king.

  I roll onto my stomach and Alexander drops his breeches. "You can touch him," I say to Hannah. "Go ahead." He must want it and I'm willing tonight to do anything for both of them.

  Alexander's hand comes down hard on my rear, certain to leave a mark.

  I bury my face in the pillows, unwilling for Hannah to see my reaction. Has anyone spanked her before? Did Sebastian spank her when they were together?

  "Do I get a turn?" Hannah asks. "I want to spank, Ella." A huge grin spreads across her face. "Though I admit, I like it when she's naughty."

  He throws his hand down again on my bottom, across my left cheek. What did I do wrong this time? Was it because I told Hannah that she could touch Alexander? We'd agreed to share one another. Did Alexander not want to share me? Or was it because Hannah wanted to spank me, and he grew jealous?

  I whimper in response.

  "Make a sound and you'll get another spanking," Alexander says. His tone is firm but light. Unlike the last time, he doesn't sound angry or disappointed with me. Is this how our love-making will be?

  I'm both aroused and craving more of Alexander's affection. I bury my face into the pillow, trying my best not to make any noise. I moan quietly as his lashings grow harder, burning against my skin, making me wet. I'm glad Alexander's attention is on me. There's something about his power and control that fires me up inside. Is he doing this to teach me a lesson for being naughty or to arouse me?

  "No, Hannah." Alexander's answer is both quick and abrupt. "I'm the only one in charge. Maybe I should spank you both regularly for sneaking around the castle, behind my back. Would that make sure it doesn't happen again?" Alexander lets his hand land hard on my bottom. The sting grows fierce and I whimper in protest. When will his spankings turn to sex? He offered it to me the last time and I rejected him. It had been the only amount of control that I'd been given. Tonight, I would give him everything, and if he asked me to beg, I would.

  Wetness drips from between my pink folds. I anxiously move my hips, needing more than just my rear spanked. My desire throbs between my thighs. Does he see how wet he makes me?

  Alexander slips one finger down between my folds. He knows the power he has over me, what he makes me feel. "Someone likes being a bad girl," he says. His voice changes and is thicker with arousal. His hand comes down again, spanking my bottom. "I like you submissive, Ella. You are mine."

  I shift my head around on the pillow. I like Alexander being dominant, but I don't dare say the words aloud. Somehow if I do, I worry I might break the spell.

  I can't see what's happening but I can hear the moans. Alexander rubs my clit, quick and swift in a motion that makes my toes curls. I know she's touching him, pleasing him, and it's not long before I feel him shift and poise at my entrance, sliding inside my wetness inch by inch. My lips fall open and I moan forgetting who can hear us. He doesn't spank me again for making a sound. This time he's encouraged by my moans, thrusting harder and faster.

  Hannah crawls around in front of me, lying on the bed, spread eagle. Her eyes wiggle and she grins proudly. I'm curious what's going through her mind. My fingers separate her folds and my tongue darts out tasting her sweetness as Alexander thrusts into me. My hips buck and my nose nuzzles Hannah. I steady her hips with my hands. She's thrusting too, likely wanting more contact. Sucking her clit, my tongue swirls around the growing bead. I lean back slightly, thrusting two fingers inside of her warmth, filling her. I stroke her, feeling her pulsate and swell under my touch.

  I don't dare ask if she wants Alexander to fuck her. I'm not sure I can say the words aloud. It doesn't seem I need to. My fingers elicit the response I desire, tasting her wetness on my tongue as she clenches onto my fingers, trembling under my touch. Her body is beautiful, red and rosy, flushed with ecstasy as she peaks. All thoughts are lost when Alexander makes my own insides tremble, my arms growing weak supporting my weight. Sweat coats my skin, heart pounding erratically in my chest. Fire burns like the radiant sun in the sky and I allow myself the moment to let go, embrace the feeling and the fact that I'm a queen and just maybe I can have everything one would ever wish for in this life.
