Chapter 63 Personal guard
"Good girl" I smiled, taking the cup from her hands and dropping everything back. Walking over to the tub I turned down the nub and poured the bath soaps into the hot water. Gazing back to her I motioned for her to come and she pushes herself off the sink, landing on her two little feet with a thump, her twins jumping with her.
She took quiet steps towards me, her curls bouncing with every movement. She stopped before me, her gaze penetrating mine and making it hard for me to control the urge to rip her clothes right off her body.
I leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek, "See you at breakfast baby" my ever growing length throbbing. I needed to get myself out before I lost control, maybe I'd get ready at Ryker's chambers far away from my little one's scent. It was highly intoxicating and maddening.
"See you" her soft tone came, stopping me at the door as I turned to look at her once, my brain and my body battling inside. Focusing on her gaze I realised her eyes had trailed down my body and I could feel the same internal conflict coming from her. When her big dark eyes met mine I sucked in a deep breath, balling my hands into fists to resist the urge that was pinching at my skin. Phoenix was growling with desire, he wanted to feel his mate, have her skin against ours, touch her, kiss her lips and inhale her scent till it was all we could smell and even then it won't be enough. As she stood there, innocently gawking at me she had no idea the inner turmoil I was facing. She could literally be eating or talking and I would still get hard.
I was thoroughly fucked.
I felt the final ounce of my self control slip when my eyes landed on the hickie that stood out against her pale skin and thin hand of her night gown that had fallen down her arm.
"Futuo" {fuck} I cursed under my breath painfully, feeling my length twitch ever so subtly.
"Is something wrong? Are you o-okay" she asked concern marred her face. She had taken several steps forward and
I knew if I got even a whiff of her scent then I'd snap. I backed away, "No, don't worry love. I'm fine" I forced out a smile, forcing my eyes to remain on hers and not drift downward. "I'll s-see you later. Love you baby"
With that I scurried out of the room with quick steps and my horny self.

AUDREY
His scent enveloped me, leaving me having flashbacks of the feeling of his hands all over me. A shiver flew down my spine, leaving a blush to crawl across my cheeks, tainting my skin for all eyes to see. I had sent the maids away shortly after they finished helping me get dressed, the sheepish smiles on their faces floating over my head. I wanted some time alone in the room I spent the first night with Darius.
He was behaving weird earlier on but I didn't question it. He said he was fine. Walking around the room I let my hands graze over every surface and when I was certain the cherubims on the ceilings weren't watching I couldn't help but force his pillow against my nose, inhaling his scent deeply.
I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips. Yep, I was silly
The nerve tickling butterflies set sail in my stomach, stiring me up. My eyes landed on the book he was writing in last night and I let my curiosity take over.
Bending to pick the book it slipped out of my hands, a little unprepared for the weight. Reaching down for it I caught sight of something in the corner. Pulling it out it was two books stacked over each other. They had the same seal as the many other books I kept finding around the castle. A crease formed between my brows in confusion. Running my hands over the foreign material that hugged the book covers tightly I traced the indent on the book in fascination.
Why is this in Darius' chambers? I really wanted to investigate where these books kept coming from and how they were always my favorite genre; romance. But first I had to pay Orchid a visit in the pack hospital building and probably meet the rest of my ladies there as well.
Walking down the stone hallway I could hear audible snickering coming from the ladies and servants that were hurdled in the corners of the path. I didn't spare them anything more than a curious glance before I continued on my way. Beautiful evergreen grass and three leaf clovers that covered the lawn crunched under my feet as I walked over to the infirmary. I kept getting the odd feeling of someone's eyes on me, precisely a pair of hazel eyes. But when I heard footsteps I stopped, my heart beat had increased and I could feel the tension in me rising.
Slowly I turned around coming face to face with an unfamiliar guard. I was only able to tell he was a guard for what he wore but it was a lot darker than what the other guards were. I let my eyes register the deep black colour of his shortly cut curls that sat at his shoulders, he was postured with his chest out and his hands behind his back. Piercing blue eyes adorned his face, his thick brows and broad jawline only added to his intimidating aura. He looked like he had done his fair share of Knight training for a while but it couldn't compare to Darius' deliciously impressive build.
Wait, did I just compare a total stranger to- "Who are you?"
His eyes finally landed on me, his gaze sharpening with respect "My apologies your majesty" he took a slight bow, his posture and demeanor one of precision.
"I am your new personal body guard, Maximus" he informed making my brows fly into my hairline in shock and disbelief.
"New personal bodyguard?" I repeated incredulously. "Who assigned you such a duty?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"His Royal Highness" he answered shortly, his eyes patient. He didn't speak a words as I nibbled on my pink plum lips, deep in thought. Darius assigned me a personal guard without te
lling me?
