The Mysterious Princess


Still confused of what’s happening to her then she realized that wasn’t a dream after all. What has she done Luke said? She has lied to him about herself pretending to be someone she is not. In her entire life she wanted a man like Luke finally she got him but all of it was lies from the beginning to the end. Did Luke kidnaps her or she had come on her own free will? Where is her ring? Was she drug or drunk? But she was too bold and fearless last night to have the courage to do what she had done. She had must know what she was doing.
Her gaze meets Luke eyes and saw the sadness and anger within it. What to tell him? What about true for once. She couldn’t handle the look of his eyes on her, try to avoid it by looking down then she saw the stain of blood on the bed sheet.
Now the memories were vivid, she was attack last night by some men before she got to her hotel but Luke was there at the right moment to save her then he took her to his place to be save. To calm her nerve from the attack he offered her laudanum, she was crying and wet from the rain, and he was hugging her. It leads to a kiss the most hunger savagely kiss that she ever got from a man, he spoke to her with his lips, but without words.
He taught her things with his tongue. He drew her out, showing her how to duel and how to smooth. But she realized that she had to be in control since she supposed to be an experience woman. She should act like one; she did pay a real courtesan to teach her how to please a man for her future husband.
Her blood darted about frantically, seeking oxygen from nonfunctioning lungs, but she had to show no pain on her face. He could no longer stall the inevitable, but he couldn’t help himself his groan of ecstasy as his orgasm exploded, draining him until he collapsed, sated, atop the bewildered Elizabeth. Exhausted she slid immediately into slumber now she remembered what had happen between the two of them.
Luke is seating down beside her on the bed with the same look in his eyes that she tried to avoid “Care to explain to me what have you done to me and to yourself” With an anger tone in his voice. “What is it a trick?” “Answer me dam it.”
She never fought that she has fallen for Luke, her place it’s to be with her family and be what she supposes to be a princess and soon a queen. But her life is in danger. She doesn’t know anything about him expect that is a Duke and a rogue that like courtesan. And he thinks of her to be a courtesan he did see her among them the first day that they met and she went along with it knowing that wasn’t the right thing to do. Can she trust him? “No it’s not a trick, I just didn’t tell you that it was my first time as a courtesan and I choose you to be my first experience and I have no shame of it.” She got up to get clean up and dress, where is her ring? Did she lose it in the struggle or those men from last night took it from her to show to her family that they had kidnapped her as a proof.
“Stay for a while, I’ll send for new clothes for you it’ll be here shortly if you decide to stay.”
“Be my mistress you’ll get everything you ever want in life and you don’t have to continue to be a courtesan.” “I’ll stay for a while until your parents and your brother get back from their trip but I won’t, I can’t be your mistress, I’ll be soon leaving the country.”
Luke took her ring from one of the men last night wondering why they would try so hard to steal it from her but he realized that they didn’t want only the ring but her too. He has to find out what are the connections. He needs to protect her and keep her save since she has nobody here but he has to find out more about her. Her ring looks very antique with a crest and engraving. He needs to step out for a while to investigate. Why he care so much she is just a woman atop of all that a want to be courtesan, she isn’t an aristocracy from a noble family. The way she acts tell him that she is well educate and sophisticate.
Her headache is not going away too much things running wild in her mind what to do? What is her next move? But her mind couldn’t stay away from Luke lovemaking just to think about it make her heart melt with affection.
Luke got back from his inquiries late in the afternoon it seems nobody knows about a woman names Elizabeth Scottfield in all England. He has well connections in the diplomatic political area and aristocracies couldn’t get any information about her. And all the rogues in England don’t even know any Madam that had hired a courtesan by that name. Hopefully he will know more about the ring from his jeweler that was his last stop of the day. As soon as he enters the store there was a familiar scent of a perfume then the jeweler cuts him off from his thinking starts to greet him.
“Good afternoon my Lord.” “There were two gentlemen with a beautiful woman asking about your ring, they will pay any price for it but I told them that I didn’t have that kind of priceless ring in my store.” Very interesting indeed Luke fought by lifting one of his eyebrows. It was a good think that the jeweler was with the family since his grand-father generation, he could trust that old man.
“So what did you find out about that priceless ring?” “I know I can count on you my old man mister Edward.” “Well, my Lord this ring is indeed priceless it from a royal family in a small country in East of Europe, that family is related to our Queen as long distant cousin.” “The crest is the family emblem and the engraving his the family last name and it’s given to the first born of the family from generation to generation to be King or Queen of that country.”
“How did you get the ring in your possession my Lord?” “By luck my dear friend I will return it to the rightful owner soon enough since my grand-mother knows the Queen.” “I know that my Lord will do the right thing.”
She went to all the jewelry shop in England since early this morning when Luke has left the manor with her two bodyguards; she has just got back to the manor an hour ago. Even her maids didn’t get any luck in Scotland. It likes she has to send a letter to her parents that she had lost the ring without them worry about her being kidnap as soon as possible.
Luke got home wondering if the woman staying with him could be a princess. He asked his butler if she has left the manor. And she did indeed left the house it gets more and more interesting by the minutes. He enters her room without announcing himself but that smell of the perfume is the same one from the jewelry shop so that means she was there looking for her ring, he hears a beautiful singing voice by the bathroom. He walks toward the room smoothly and quietly standing by the door just admiring the site of beauty, remembering last night event was just trilling, and the rush of taking her body was enticing. If he had known, he would have taken her differently. The desire of possessing her he couldn’t control himself he didn’t think that it was her first time.
She was singing a song from her childhood. In the tub with her eyes closed dreaming of Luke and his wonderful hands on her body. She starts opening her eyes Luke was coming toward her to the tub. Her face turns red of embarrassment hoping that he wouldn’t notice her shyness. It wasn’t like last night when the room was dark only the light from the fireplace was lighting up the room. Luke will have a full sight of her nakedness. Take me; take me now just like her dream. His lip is on her, he deepened the kiss his tongue creating a steady rhythm into the depths of her mouth and somehow, that rhythm echoed in her belly. That is real Luke is kissing her. He lifted her up from the tub into his arms the wetness of her body soak his shirt when he put her down into the bed she could see the shape of his firm manly chest makes her breathless. He is undressing himself affront of her. What a wonderful magnificent body that he has. Totally without consciousness, without fear, she smiled at him. That smile held such sweet and wanton seductiveness. As she moved her legs, lifting her knee, wiggling her toes, he caught glimpses of the softest part of her and realized –he couldn’t wait. Placing his lip on her nipple, he sucked strongly; bringing it into is mouth and working it with his tongue. She gasped. Her hands went to his bare shoulders, and her fingernails dug into the skin. She felt something strange along her fingertips when caressing his back he started to hold tighter then she saw his back. “Luke, what happened to your back?”
Damn. He hadn’t meant for her to see the stripes that crisscrossed his flesh. “This is cruel.” She kissed the ridges where white scars met pink skin. “It was a long times ago.” Right now he could think about one thing, and one thing only-and it wasn’t is back. He suckled on her other nipple and at the same time his hand descends to rest between her legs. He pressed his palm against her in a slow rhythm that built and built until she writhed and gasped and tried to escape. Slowing the pace of movements, he let her drive him in deep, then held her still while he pulsed within her before allowing her to pull back for another thrust. He plunged in one last time and bound her against him as they shuddered, spun and shattered together. Into his arms she feels so save and everything happening in her life went away with no worries in the world. The way he spoke to her seems so harsh with no emotional feeling attach to it. He makes it so simple and easy. It hurts her like knife went trough her heart. He did want her to be his mistress nothing more, it’s not like he has feelings or love for her. What happen to him those scars on his back was horrible, who could have done that to him and why, the only thing she knew about him it was his family. He isn’t a man of many words to tell her about himself. And she was in the same position. Luke didn’t want her to ask too many question of what happen to him so he asked her “Doesn’t your family worry about you?” “Why because I’m a woman, I’m not a child like you can see.” “My father doesn’t mind what I do as long as he doesn’t know much about the details, but my mother worries too much.” “Do they know what are you doing right now?” “No if they did, they will be disappointed with me.” “Don’t do anything rash don’t leave yet, I’ll make things right.” They spend the night together. Early morning Luke left the manor he had receive an urgent note from the secretary of state. The same morning she left to see her people to ask them how she is going home without being kidnap and keep her entourage save. Lord McGhee her secretary of state told her that he had hired someone to bring them back home. He told her all about the man that will protect them, he has been well train in his field as British spy and being highly recommend it by his country and his real name is confidential, he will go by under a surname. Her heart is breaking knowing that this morning was her last day with Luke, she did spent a month with him but only couple days in his bed ;she wished that they had meet in a different circumstances, she was still confused with the last word that Luke told last night before she felt asleep. She did left a letter to Luke’s butler to say good bye.
Luke arrived to the office since it was so urgent his boss filled him in with the details, he shake his head and told his boss that wasn’t his kind of job. Then, he said “Don’t her people protect her, they brought her here save why can they bring her back home save.” “They kind of running into troubles lately since you know the in and out of this country you can take care of her and her entourage without anyone knows that she was even here.” “Someone must know she here or she wouldn’t be in danger.” “That’s why you are hired to do the job.” In his mind he put the pieces together, think that it could be Elizabeth the princess that his boss asked him to protect. Then he asked “Can you described me how the princess looks like, what is her name and what country she from.” It’s Elizabeth but her real name is Amelia Elizabeth Sophia DeBellemont of Corinthia and the ring belongs to her, she was using her middle name. “You know that the princess is here with her entourage in the conference room they want to meet you.” Oh, god he slept with a princess that is against the rules and he ruined her, especially when she supposed to betroth to someone else. As soon as he entered the room his heart stop, his eyes were on her only when her eyes meet his she knew that he was hurt and angry by her deceit and lies she wanted to cry but she has to maintain her composure around her people. She didn’t say a word Lord McGhee was doing all the talking on her behalf. They acted if they didn’t know each other. “I’ll be back in an hour to take the princess and your entourage to the ship; I need to take care of a few things before we leave.”
Amelia just remembered about her letter to Luke, did he have a chance to read it if he did will he forgive her or hate her forever. When he got to his house he couldn’t believe what just has happen it seems that he has lost a part of him he was furious but every times he looks at her beautiful faces his heart heals. Could he have fallen in love with her? Then the butler said “My lord there is a letter left by Miss Elizabeth for you, she went back home.” He reads it, the letter has explained everything about her feeling about him, and she told him the all true about herself. Now it’s all up to him to do the right. He went back; he needed to talk to her alone. “Your highness the Duke of Wentworth would like to have a word in private with you.” “Let him in and please that nobody disturbs us.” As soon as her maid left they come toward each other. “What have you done to me?” “It isn’t that you care I was just another woman to you this morning why because I’m a princess that you are showing interest.” “I’m sorry if I can change the ways I had done thing I will but it’s too late.” Did I tell you last night do not do anything rash and I’ll make thing right that before I knew that you were a princess.” “I was going to ask you to marry me tonight then this happens between us and I don’t know who you are anymore.” “I just read your letter.” “Please forgive me Luke I didn’t mean to lie; I love you with all my heart.” “You don’t need to apologize, I’m the one who should, I was a foul not to surrender to my heart I love you.” “It’s means that you still want to marry me.” “Yes your highness, as soon as I bring you back to your country safely, I’ll go ask your parents hopefully they’ll say yes.” “They’ll because I love you.” “You don’t mind to leave England and your life behind for me.” “There nothing here for me, my younger brother could take care of the family business over for me ,my life without you my heart won’t be able to take it and we’ll visit sometimes.” That is the first times that she ever sees Luke happy with a smile on his face. Then he knees down and hand out a box. She opens it to her surprise that was her ring with another one. “Oh, Luke how you found it and the other ring is gorgeous.” He gives her passionate kiss; it was so intense that they didn’t hear the knock on the door. With worry Lord McGhee opened the door, in shock. “That’s alright Lord McGhee; I would like you to meet my future husband.” With a big smile he kisses her again.
