A Night With The King

For the second time, Lance found himself waking up beside the woman who he shouldn’t even be this comfortable within the first place. Unlike the last time, this time he had been sober when he asked her, no, commanded her to let him share a bed with her, she had no choice but to allow him because no one can say no to him, except Patrick. That mudafucker has zero respect for him. Lance couldn’t deny the fact that he slept better with her around, maybe it was her or maybe he just needed someone close to be able to fall asleep. The first night he slept with her, he didn’t have any nightmares and last night was the same too. Not to mention he was comfortable in her presence. He watched her sleep. The woman was a hell of pretty. She caught his attention the first time she started working at the palace and she had been respectful, polite, and well spoken, he didn’t have to repeat himself twice for her to get what he wants, not to mention she never grumbles or anything when he calls her at any time of the day even on her day off. She kind of grew on him that it got to the point she was the only one he called to attend to his needs. Maybe that’s why he was so comfortable around her. She turned in her sleep and the robe she wore on top of the revealing nightie he saw last night flew open exposing her goodies to his hungry eyes.

He willed himself to look away and not be tempted by the shape of her body and how well her breast pressed against the fabric of the nightie, he could see her perky nipples and was very tempted to touch them, how he was able to spend the night with such a gorgeous woman and not take her was beyond him but now that he was awake, he had to remind himself who she was and why it would be a bad idea to start anything with her.

Lance finally got himself to look away from her and got off the bed, he meant to leave without waking her but she must be a light sleeper because he heard her move and turned to see her eyes open and watching him.

“You are awake, I was just leaving,”

He explained. She wasn’t fully awake as she only nodded and he just stood there awkwardly for a moment staring at her still exposed body. It was hard for his body not to react to her not when she looked the way she did.

“I will see you soon,

Lance said and left the room before he did something he might regret. He shouldn’t be so comfortable sleeping and waking up with her but last night, he knew he would not fall asleep if he left, so he had just stayed. It was as if she was his sleeping pill. Last night all he wanted to do was sleep but this morning, he suddenly wanted more. He was slowly losing his mind. Lance walked towards his room hoping that Patrick was not there yet but when he opened the door, he was met with a very angry Patrick with his hands folded across his chest.

“Where are you coming from?”

He let out as if he didn’t already know. Lance ignored him and walked by him. He wasn’t ready for his full talk right now but he knew that would not stop Patrick.

“I can’t believe you right now Lancelot,”

Patrick let out.

“What did I do?”

“What did you do? Really? You spent the night with her again Lancelot! What has gotten into you?”

Patrick let out. Lance couldn’t answer that because even he wasn’t so sure anymore why he found peace with her, all he wanted to do yesterday night was welcome her but somehow, he had done more than that.

“I don’t know, I just know I sleep better when she is around,”

He responded truthfully.

“And you want me to believe nothing is going on with you two? Do you know what a relationship with her can cause the both of you? If you are not thinking about yourself in this case, at least think about her and the kingdom. She is a foreigner, Lancelot, if anything goes wrong, she would be forced to leave the kingdom,”

He informed. Lance was aware of that fact.

“I get everything you are saying Patrick but I promise you that we just slept,”

“Yeah, that’s what you just did now but will it keep being that way? Are you going to lie that you didn’t feel anything while in the same room and on the same bed with her? I have only ever seen you act this way towards another woman and we both know how that ended. I have every reason to be worried, Lancelot,”

Patrick let out. he was wrong, this was different from the last time, Sophie and the other woman are completely different and he didn’t want to think about the other woman so early in the morning.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Please can you not bring her up? This is totally different, okay?”

Lance let out.

“How is it different? Make me understand your majesty, you keep going back to her, I know you don’t lie but I find it hard to believe that what you just want from that woman is to sleep in her arms, it makes absolutely no sense to me and it won’t make any sense to anyone you tell it to,”

Patrick fired at him.

“Well, that’s all there is, whether it makes sense to you or not, I sleep better with her, no nightmare even when I am not drunk, I slept last night and only woke up this morning, slept like a newborn, do you know what that means to me?”

Lance responded. The last person he expected to judge him for this was Patrick since he knew just how hectic his nightmares were and the fact that they led him to drink so much just to avoid them.

“That’s why you are getting married Lancelot, your wife to be should be the one doing those things for you, not some thief,”

Patrick let out.”

Lance didn’t like how he called Sophie a thief, there was no proof that she stole those diamonds.
