I'm Falling for a Royal Prince {OG BOOK 1}

Chapter 10: Early Morning Exercise

Sorry for not updating this last night. Mizani woke up and it was my turn to watch her. We went to sleep at 1-ish. Anyway, there's some Shadé and Vince interaction in this one ;)

Chapter 10: Early Morning Exercise

Shadé

The following morning, I woke up extra early; sometime around 5. I would wake up this early every other morning to get an hour workout in my day. I knew I wouldn't be able to do this any other time in the day because I obviously had to work.

I ran around the perimeter of the castle's garden with my earphones plugged into my ears. The cool, morning breeze blew lightly against my features. I actually enjoyed running and stretching, especially since I was in a sour mood yesterday because some people couldn't keep their hands to themselves.

'You should've kicked his ass.' Aimee's words repeated in my head. I should've done that, but then I would've been at risk of losing my job. I wasn't sure if that guy would be counted as a Royal figure, I mean, he is friends with one.

As I neared the entrance of the garden, I slowed down to a complete halt. I placed my hands on my hips and breathed heavily. Both from my workout and the sight of the eldest Prince.

He stood at the entrance of the garden wearing an overly expensive silk robe and matching green slippers. His eyes held mine for a few seconds before averting to my hips.

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, why are you out here at 5 in the morning," I asked, the moment I felt my breathing was leveled.

This was beginning to become ridiculous, his presence. He was starting to show up everywhere I go.

"I want to talk to you," he replied, stuffing his hands in his robe pockets.

I rose a confused brow at his response. "If it's about what happened yesterday, then--"

"I don't care about that," he interrupted as he took a seat on a nearby bench. "I came to talk to you," he reiterated.

I stared at him for a few seconds longer. He returned the stare as his eyes suggested that I should come closer to him.

"What do you want to talk about then," I inquired, folding my arms across my small chest.

"Anything. It doesn't matter. I just want to talk," he said, gazing directly into my eyes. "Specifically to you."

"Why," I continued to interrogate.

"Because," he trailed off with a shrug. "I just feel like talking to you."

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. "I don't have time to talk, Sir," I stated as I began heading out of the garden.

Just as I was passing by him, I felt his tough grasp on my wrist. I whipped my head toward him just as he ducked his face into the crevice of my neck. The moment I felt his lips on my neck, alarm bells immediately went off in my head.

"Get off of me," I demanded, pushing against his shoulders.

He grunted in response before wrapping his other arm around my waist. He pulled me against his body, continuing to suck on my neck harder.

I couldn't move whatsoever. The bastard had one arm holding mine down, while the other kept a taught grasp on my wrist.

I squirmed against his hold, hoping it'll somehow get me away from this bastard. But, with no such luck, and the fact that he was twice my size, my efforts were futile.

"L-let me... go... ah," I accidentally gasped as his teeth gently bit against my flesh.

An audible grunt escaped his lips, causing a tickling sensation to tingle my skin. This time, I released an involuntary moan. I knew I would regret that.
