chapter 18

Xavier placed a plate of the most delicious looking chicken sandwich I had ever seen in front of me, it took me everything not to grab it and stuff the whole contraption into my mouth, I was sick and tired of him telling me I was not queen material, I wasn't but he didn't have to rub it in my face if he wanted a girl that some with a fancy British accent he should have gone to bloody Britain instead of coming to America to disturb my father.

"Well, I didn't get out of bed for nothing, dig in" he stared me down and I took one half of the sandwich, then looked at him slowly

"Go on"

"Um" I stuck out my pinky and took a bite into the crispy bread, don't moan, don't moan, don't moan, I moaned and almost fell out of my seat to the ground, was it possible for only two slices of bread to give you the best orgasm you would ever have because that was what I was experiencing right now. I looked at Xavier and he didn't look the slightest bit annoyed if anything I would say he had a worried, strangled look on his face.

"Did you want some" I pointed at the bread

"No thanks"

"Okay then more for me" I bit into the bread again once again sticking my pinky out

"Are you alright, why are you raising your pinky, do you need to pee" what I am not a dog

"I am not a dog Xavier, I don't raise up random parts of my body because I want to go to the bathroom, isn't this how you royalties eat with your finger up?" Xavier started laughing, he fucking hit the table and started laughing hysterically like I had said the funniest thing in the world

"Why are you laughing?"

"Why am I laughing? I am laughing because of you, what makes you think sticking your finger out while eating makes you more sophisticated than you already are" I lowered my pinky slowly and he smiled in acknowledgment. I gobbled up my sandwich without thinking to offer him out of it, then stood up after I made several attempts to stifle a yawn

"Where are you going?" he asked me

"To bed, duh"

"Aren't you forgetting something, princess"

"Oh sorry," I forgot he was my king, I bowed gracefully towards him and turned around, before I could even make it past the door, Xavier pulled me back into his chest

"Who do you expect to clean up your dishes"

"I can clean them up tomorrow Xavier"

"And what do you say to me for making you dinner" OHHH, I get it, he wanted me to say thank you.

Well I was not going to give him a thank you because he had killed me two times

"Why should I tell you, thank you" I shrugged his arm of mine

"Because I forgot to add the poison," that made my blood run cold and my face lose color, WHAT he wanted to poison me? NAH he wouldn't do that if he had already brought me back from death twice

"The thing is honey, the poison isn't meant to kill you, it is meant to make you itch throughout tomorrow as your punishment for taunting me"

"So killing me isn't punishment"

"It is not a punishment if you don't remember it, I will hardly call death a punishment, What will Xavier call it? Temporary good riddance"

"Sorry I think I have served enough punishment today" I tried walking away but he pulled me back into his chest, his chiseled hard sexy chest that was currently on display

"Nuh-uh, don't walk away from me princess"

"I am not a princess" he picked me again effortlessly and placed me on the island table this time like I couldn't jump off that the way I did with the stool

"So you wouldn't say I didn't warn you I am going to run you through my ground rules and the brutal consequences"

"Consequences?"

"To be dispensed by me yes"

"So how am I supposed to remember all these rules"

"By the consequences, I am pretty sure my future queen will remember, number one, do not and I mean do not tell anyone about me, you know the consequences of if you try to but if it actually gets out, baby you are going to wish I never saved you" I already wish that "number two, I love the punishment for this one, don't have any sexual relationship with anybody," I raised my hand "yes both male and female, I will not hesitate to behead that person and for your punishment ten lashes of my belt... on your ass cheek" that is awfully kinky

"You are going to spank me?!"

"TSK. I hope so"

"Number three, don't try to escape because if you do, you are going to meet my little torture devices, and none of them are going to give you pleasure, well if you are an Anastacia steel then it may"

"I am not into BDSM," I shook my head signaling that he should not even go there

"Okay, then my last rule for today, do not steal from me or I will kill you and lock you with my dogs"

"YOU HAVE DOGS, OMG I LOVE DOGS"

"Let me rephrase that, demon wolves and they are somewhat bitty, a lot more than me and they are extremely deadly"

"Sinister much" he chuckled,

"You won't have to meet them if you just do as I say, but something tells me that by the time you are married to me, you will be too afraid to even breath the same air I breath"

"I- is that a good thing?" I asked sounding a lot more intimidated than I had intended

"I don't know yet but it would be nice to gain some fear-filled energy from you, but at the same time I would love to hear you scream my name, the good princesses always leave my bed satisfied" he pressed his lips on my temple and whispered a soft 'goodnight' I am not going to sleep with that man today
