A Night With The King

“Why are you in such a good mood? You are acting suspiciously,”

Patrick asked when it was just the two of them in his office. he had meetings to attend to and had been busy since morning but for some reason, he was tired but went through each meeting with a genuine smile, he honestly was expecting Patrick to question him soon but he took so long that he had begun to believe the man decided to back off. He thought too soon.

“Why is my being in a good mood suspicious? Can’t a king just be happy? Do you have a thing against happy people,”

He asked.

“Yeah, but up until we arrived at the palace yesterday evening, you were in a foul mood, sulking and being a grumpy jerk,”

Patrick reminded him. It was normal for him to be that way, he had been tired and also burnt out, but that didn’t mean he had to stay that way. He couldn’t stay that way.

“Patrick, I had a rough week, a crisis happened and I had to work hard to fix it. What did you expect? Now I am well rested, I had a great night and my mood has lifted,”

Lance said in his defense; he didn’t sleep much last night but he felt good and relaxed. Sleep deprived but the sex made up for that. Sex was a great way to relax and sex with Sophie had been the best way to relax after the long week he had. Just thinking about it made him want to be inside her again, buried deep in her heavenly wetness with her moaning out his name and burying her fingers in his hair.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You were with her last night, weren’t you?”

Patrick asked. Giving him a look. Lance knew he was referring to Sophie, who else would he be with?

“Yes, is there a problem with that?”

Lance asked in response. Thankfully, they were alone because he knew Patrick was about to go into scolding and nagging mode again.

“You slept with her? I told you not to do it, you just don’t listen to me, God, Lancelot, you are going to regret this,”

Patrick let out. Lance shook his head, there was no point in trying to tell Patrick that there was no way he would regret his decision, who would regret the best sex ever? Certainly not him. In fact, he would have regretted it if he had held back and last night didn’t happen. He smiled when the memories of what they did last night flooded back into his head.

“You are smiling, fuck, you are in love with her,”

Patrick went on, the man was out of his mind. How did they suddenly go from sleeping with her to falling in love with her so fast? The man was just crazy.

“How can I be in love with her? Patrick, we had sex, I am not in love with her and both of us know that it is just sex, you are the only one going crazy with the idea that I will regret it and also going on about love, I have had sex with a number of women and I haven’t fallen for them, stop acting like sex equals to love because it does not,”

“You don’t see the problem? Bro? you are smiling like an idiot after just one night with her? This isn’t like your other sexual encounter, this one got you, and I feel bad for her because whatever you guys are doing will only affect her, she will get a lot of hits, you should stop now while it is still early,”

He warned. He was crazy to think he would stop after just one night with Sophie, never, he wanted her even more now and he was going to keep having her until he got tired or she wanted out. Hopefully, she will not want out soon.

“I am not going to stop, I like her, I like having her in my bed, we fit so well, she wants me too, we are both adults and we are going to keep doing each other,”

Lance responded.

“You like her? That’s a close call to falling in love with her, Lord, you are going to be in big trouble when you finally realize it,”

Patrick went on.

“Patrick, I know when I am in love, it happened once and we both know how that ended. It won’t happen again and certainly won’t happen with a woman I know that I can’t have forever, I know what I am doing, and both Sophie and I know what we are doing, we know it is temporary so calm your horses, you are no fun when all you do is nag me, let me enjoy this in peace okay?”

He told him firmly. Patrick frowned.

“Fine, I won’t talk about it anymore, good luck,”

He finally gave in, for now. Lance was sure he would be back talking about it soon.

“Good,”

Lance said and there was silence in the office for a little over ten minutes with Patrick typing away on his tablet and Lance reading through the file he had with him. Lance was counting the minutes until he could get out of the office and go be with Sophie again, he wanted to be able to spend the whole day with her but he knew that would be impossible for a while, so he had to make do with the time they could get and make the most of it. If it was up to him, he would whisk them both to a place where they could be together all day long until they got tired of each other. One of the cons of being a king, he couldn’t just up and go for a vacation without a long period of preparation to make sure things would run smoothly even with him gone.

“Aha, I just remembered, I spoke with the princess and she said she would like to meet with you,”

Patrick announced, breaking the silence, Lance looked up from what he was doing, he hadn’t spoken or heard from the princess since the last time she called him after she left the palace.

“What does she want to talk to me about?”

He asked. He hoped it wasn’t about the wedding again, if he hadn’t called it off, the palace would have been buzzing with people by now in preparations for the wedding that would have taken place this weekend. He was glad he called it off, if not, he would never have been able to have the best night of his life with Sophie. In the end, even though she wasn’t originally the reason he called off the wedding, she became a part of it. They would never have shared what they shared last night if he had not called it off.

“Business, she said she wants to open a business here in Otano, I think that’s part of the reason why she was so adamant about making the marriage with you work, she had plans but you called off the wedding. I think she decided to go ahead with her plans even though you guys aren’t getting married anymore,”

Patrick said.

“She is smart for not giving up her plans just because we didn’t get married. Anyway, what kind of business is she planning to start here? We spoke the other time and she said it in passing, I haven’t spoken to her since to find out what,”

Lance asked. The princess was a whole different kind of human, the fact that she was still in Otano even after a week had passed and she hadn’t said or done anything to the press, he knew they would be asking her questions and all.

“She didn’t say yet, she wants to meet you in person, for some reason, she wanted me to be the one to set up the meeting with you,”

“She sees you as my assistant,”

Lance said in a mocking tone.

“I know, she refused to change that so I just decided to run with it, I mean, I am kind of like your assistant,”

“Wow, Patrick? What did she do to you? Are you in love with her or something?”

Lance asked. Throwing the same questions that he had been asking him about Sophie at him, he frowned. Well, now he knows what it felt like.

“You are out of your mind, you damn well know the princess and I aren’t anywhere near what you are doing with Sophie, don’t even think of using that tune with me,”

“Loosen up, Patrick, the princess is a hot catch, don’t act like she isn’t a catch, you don’t want to fumble her,”

He scolded.

“Oh, like you did?”

Patrick was too good with words and Lance concluded that he could never win against the man.

“My case is different, I told you, we are not compatible in any way,”

“Yeah, and you think we are compatible? You think a princess would settle for an assistant to the king after getting dumped by the king?”

Lance couldn’t believe Patrick was looking down on himself, the man was second to him in the palace, and everyone listened to him and respected him, he was cutting himself short and not seeing that he had a noble name and a princess or anyone would want to be with him.
