Chapter 272: A Promise
" I want you..." Evangeline woke up to Lucien’s voice still echoing in her ear. Lazily, she got out of bed, unable to believe that last night had been real. If it were not for the fact that her thighs were sore from holding onto the bike, she would have been sure that she’d dreamt everything up.
Heck, she was the princess of Estania and she had no idea that such rallies were regularly held so close to the capital! She’d always thought these things happened too far away from Estania. Her horizons had been broadened. In many different ways.
She could still feel her lips tingling at the way he had caught her face and kissed her. Deeply. Passionately. His hand had been in her hair as he tongue connected fiercely with hers.
Slowly, she walked to the mirror and moved aside her hair to look at the mark he had left there. He’d been fierce yesterday, unlike the gentle and somewhat dominating touches that he’d given her in the past. Yesterday, Lucien had been intent on taking her.
Evangeline rubbed her legs together as memories of last night threatened to consume her. The way he’d pushed her to the ground, his hands roving over her, sliding under her shirt first and then between her legs... Last night, it wasn’t only the bike that she’d ridden but his hand as well.
Evangeline buried her face in her hands in shyness as she remembered the need to stop him and the need that he never stop. Yesterday, he’d not asked for her surrender but conquered her. She would have been powerless to stop him if he hadn’t controlled himself.
"Bas****! How dare he have the will to stop when she was so helpless." She cursed her silly self in the mirror as she slowly dabbed some foundation to hide the mark.
Why did he hold all the power in this relationship? It had been this way since the beginning! She needed to wrestle that control from him. She wanted him to be as mindless as her when he was with her as when she was with him.
And so she imagined. She would need to find a way to drive him crazy with need for her. As she thought of plans and doing research for this kind of thing, a knock on her door distracted her. It was the maid who came in to tell her," Princess, Mr. Frost is here to escort you."
