S he descended the many steps, her feet taking her to stand in the middle of the dance floor where the women swayed their hips, twirling their hands above their heads like leaves in the wind.

Sonia had demanded they all learn the movements while residing in the harem, for it was imperative they use any and all means necessary to seduce the Crown Prince. Their very future depended on it, for the ones selected to spend the night with him could very well be the next Queen once he ascended the throne. The only requirement for it would be that they carry his child.

Duna had no intentions of ever going into his bed, let alone getting impregnated by the male. But she did find her newly acquired skill to be especially useful in the current situation in which she found herself.

She began to move as the music enveloped her, her mind relaxing as the seductive melody teased her into submission. Her hips swayed, her robes following the movements like an obedient lover, opening up ever so slightly to reveal her sun kissed skin underneath and her skimpy undergarments.

She felt eyes on her, knowing without a doubt, whose glare was trained on her alluring body.

I’ll show you.

Her lids lifted, meeting Faiz’s burning stare, purposefully avoiding Cathal’s scorching gaze as she pretended to have eyes only for the mighty heir.

A satisfied grin spread across Faiz’s pleasant features as he watched her dance in front of him, his eyes sweeping over her exposed flesh like a hungry beast.

Movement caught her eye, snapping the delicate thread of seduction that Duna had woven around her. Her curious gaze slid to Faiz’s right, where Leila was stroking Cathal’s firm leg, the man completely unfazed by her hand’s movements, as if unaware that she was doing it.

A vicious pang of jealousy hit her chest, the need to punish overruling her common sense.

She approached the seated heir, nestling between his spread legs, her hands ever so slowly grazing his knees as her fingers glided up his thigh.

“Duna,” Cathal roared, his face set in a deep scowl, “I will shred him to bits. Do not toy with me, woman!”

She smirked, planting herself onto Faiz’s leg, her right hand resting on his chest as her other one disappeared into his soft brown curls.

“So eager,” the heir rumbled, his fingers sliding up her thigh, making Duna’s skin crawl with unease as she pretended to be enjoying his touch, as Faiz’s palm inched ever so closer to the curve of her hips.

The temperature in the room plummeted, the lights dimming as dense shadows erupted from the ceiling. Vibrations rippled under and over the podium.

Her stomach knotting from apprehension, she became very aware of the deadly game that she was playing. Perhaps she had taken it too far.

It was time she finally put an end to this charade.

“Your Highness,” she purred, her finger making idle circles on the heir’s chest, “your presence is overwhelming. I am in need of some fresh air.”

“Hmm,” he agreed, his hand ceasing just before it reached her hips, “you may go.
