Chapter 12

Books always describe first kisses as something so intense that the world feels like it stops for that moment. And while this wasn’t my first kiss, before it I’d sometimes wondered if maybe, with the right guy, I’d get that feeling—a punch in the gut that sucked the air from my lungs and had me desperate for more.

Kissing Alex was damned hot, and I felt all the right things, mostly in my vagina. I was turned on by Alex—dude was sexy as fuck, and I could imagine kissing him a lot more and enjoying every second of it. But there was no fairy tale, world-stops-spinning moment.

Guess the books were liars.

Alex opened his mouth further, his tongue stroking mine, his lips pressing harder as if he wanted more, and I stopped over-analyzing everything and enjoyed this unexpected make out session.

When he finally pulled away, both of our chests heaved a little as we sucked in air, and I licked my hot, swollen lips. I’d just kissed a damn prince. A crown prince. A crown prince who’d demonstrated with both words and actions that I was more than just some random chick he was pursuing. That there was real emotion behind everything he’d said and done. Might be time to stop avoiding the situation, and start looking at the guy standing right in front of me. God knows, spending the week avoiding him hadn’t shut my emotions down at all. Alex had played a starring role in plenty of my dreams.

“Ready for dinner?” he said, voice low and husky, our bodies still pressed together.

I nodded. “Yeah, I could eat.”

My body was craving a lot of things right now, and maybe if I filled one of its desires, it would shut up about the others. I’d had a bit of spotty blood from the IUD insertion, so I probably shouldn’t be thinking about sex for a while anyway.

But Alex made it hard. My gaze drifted down of its own accord … Yeah, very hard to turn all of that down.

When we entered the dining hall, eyes locked on us, and an awkward silence filled the immediate vicinity. I’d been pretty sure that no one had seen our kiss—Alex blocked me pretty effectively—but then again, I’d been kind of distracted and wouldn’t have noticed.

Alex led me to his table, seeming unconcerned by the attention. I heard more than one whisper about “charity case” and “whore,” and I did my best to ignore it. I wasn’t surprised by the whispers and rumors—I’d been seen with multiple princes in the last couple of days. Probably looked like I was doing the rounds, but it still pissed me off because dudes never got this treatment. I’d read many books about the world before the Monarch War, and even back then, women’d had to deal with all of this bullshit.

Alex’s table was full, except for two seats, and something told me he’d been explicit in making sure that there was a seat for me so he didn’t have to send anyone packing.
