Princess Five (the Thin Line Between Love And Hate) Book 1

tangled

LUCY POV
I woke up slowly, my senses grappling with the strange bed I slept in and the warm, solid body tangled around me. Vague memories of my friends and I throughing back tequila shots at my wedding reception (wait... Yeah I did get married yesterday),  oh God I passed out at my own wedding reception, slid through my mind. I stirred and they is a banging in my head bringing back wild memories and more vivid memories of lastnight with my friends, I groan at my ponding head.
Opening my eyes slowly,  I force myself not to panic as full realities of my life hit me "I can't get drunk every night to keep Dante from having sex with me" I thought to the rational part of me "or can we" the wild stupid part of me reason while I lay next to Dante. I breath deep as my eyes fell on my wedding ring. Now I can do nothing but brace myself for the agony to come. And it will come.  Being married to Dante and slowly falling for him is my greatest risk and will bring the greatest consequence. Of what, I am certain.
I stir again and Dante groan "move one more time like that woman and I will take you right now" he said his voice strangled
I sit up fast and immediately put my hands on my head and groans from the throbbing in my head
"what?" I ask lazily
"I say stop wiggling into me, you are turning me on" he said
"oh" I said moving away from him, I look at him and my eyes widen " why am I in your bed and why the heck are you naked?" I ask looking away from him.
" I brought you to my bed because this is where you belong as my wife now plus what was I suppose to do when you blackout on your own wedding day" he said
I opened my mouth, intent on defending myself. On doing the right thing. Getting up, walking back to my own room. But words died
"what's wrong with you Lucy,  getting intoxicated on our wedding night"  he ask in his dangerous voice and I was forced to look at him
"I made a bet with my friends years ago and more importantly did we?" ask said looking away
He got up from the bed shaking his head in disappointment and I breath a sigh of relief looking at him. He handed me a glass of water and I took it from him
"Dante why the hell are you naked?  Can you please cover up? You are making me feel uncomfortable"  I queried in a harsh whisper
Dante lifted an eyebrow and gave a mock shudder "I always sleep naked and about making you uncomfortable? well you just have to deal with it, I am your husband and it's high time you understand that" 
I stiffen and stood up, noticing that I am in my bra and panties. I look around his room self aware I am half naked and he is looking at me, I spotted his shirt and took it and slipped it on "I think I can make a run for it plus people are still sleeping"  I said to myself as I look everywhere else except at him
"look at me Lucy" he said to me and I glare at him
Heat trickled through me as my gaze trailed down to his hard member,  his strong muscular thighs as he stand a few feets from me. He seemed to notice the think layer of awareness that has fired up, and his eyes darken a touch. "I am going to get ready for breakfast"  I whisper as i walk to the door.

DANTE POV
I notice her cooler demeanour the moment she walked into the dinning room. As she walks toward the table I was sitting at, I stand and pull out a chair for her.  she thanked me without looking at me
Her gaze, when it skated over me, was wary between the time they'd spoken in his room and her changing,  she'd withdrawn into herself
I watched her as she drop her fork on the plate and turn to Kristen who said something to her that maked her laughed out.
"what's wrong with you?"  I snap at her
Her head jerked towards me "what?"
"you were fine when you left my bed this morning. Something has obviously happened between then and now. What is it?"
"nothing, I just took a little time to think, that's all" she said
"and what did thinking produce?"
She flashed a bright,  false smile "I concluded that it's best that we lay off the sex for now" she said and I sat back and formulated how to get this crazy woman into my bed
"and what right do you have to come up with that conclusion?" I ask her
"well for starters it's my body"  she snap at me
"no darling it's now legally mine by law, you are my wife to do with as i pleased" he said
I meet her dark brown eyes as they flash with anger
"how very arrogant of you to assume my body is yours?" she asked coolly,  although I can see cool was the last thing she felt
" I think it's best that we discuss this matter later when we are alone, not at breakfast. Oh by the way,I have a friend coming for my coronation, he will be staying here" I said
She swallowed and nodded in return. She started to reach for her juice glass, but I caught her hand in mine
" this is not going very well isn't? " I ask
"nope" she popped with her lips
I raised her hand to my lips and kissed the soft skin
" then we got to change it" I whisper against her hand
Heat unfurled in my groan,  wending it's way through my body as i  continued to caress her with my mouth.
She cleared her throat and she slowly pulled her hand away
" I have to go prepare a room for your friend" she said standing up and backed away, turning to hurry out of the dinning room. When I was sure she was of earshot, I let out a thick, frustrated groan, the sight of her delicious backside seeming to tattoo itself in my mind.
