"I know that! What if someone saw you? Are you out of your mind, Louis?" Brina worriedly snapped.

"Yep.. I am out of my mind for you, honey. And, don't worry.. no one saw me. I used the secret chambers and stairs which directly lead me into your bedroom." he chuckled.

"My bedroom?" Brina asked, shocked.

"Yeah! Every suite in the palace is connected via secret chambers to escape, in case of invasion. If we know the map, we can sneak in too." he chuckled, pecking all over her naked shoulders and back.

He simply couldn't control himself!

Brina controlled her moan and smacked his hand. She took a step away from him, not letting him kiss her or hug her.

Louis pouted and looked at her cutely. It's been six nights he hasn't touched her!

"Prince Edward, don't you think this is illegal to sneak into a 'strangers' room?" Brina asked.

When their relationship is in question mark, how can she let this continue? What if she doesn't win and he gets engaged to another woman?

Louis of course understood her intentions. He suddenly pulled her into his arms, letting her crash into his body.

"Listen Brina baby. I am Prince Edward to others.. but for you, I will always be Louis, the employee." he firmly said.

Cupping her face, he lightly squeezed her chin. "And, I love you, honey.. I love you so much that I wouldn't be able to marry anyone except you." he said.

He lifted her face so that she could look into his red and angry eyes. "Did you think that I asked you to come here to compete for me, Brina? I am yours and how can you think that I will let others take me away from you? No matter who wins this bloody competition.. you will be the only woman I will agree to marry."

"Even if you lose, I have my own way, darling! It's going to be a lot messy and problematic, but I am not going to back off. I will not let any others control our marriage, got it?" he said.

Seeing the tears in Brina's eyes it is only when Louis controlled his ragging emotions. He sighed and kissed her forehead.

"I got scared, Louis. I got scared that I will lose you." Brina said, hugging him so tight.

"I know.. I was afraid too." he said, hugging her back. He pecked her head and rubbed her back.

"But baby, I have full confidence in you that you will easily win over those ladies. These competitions are nothing to you my love. Trust me." he said, caressing her head.

Brina nodded her head and continued hugging Louis.

After a few seconds, Louis whispered "Let's dance, love. I was not at all satisfied with the short dance we had."

Brina chuckled and nodded her head. Taking his hand, she placed it on her lower back. Entwining their fingers, she pecked his lips. "Of course."

Louis kissed her eyes and he turned on the romantic music on his phone.

Then they started dancing.. pouring all their emotions, their longing and love for each other.

Time flew by and it was almost twelve in midnight.

Louis and Brina are sitting on the couch horizontally, with her in his arms. Though they aren't talking, this silence was enough for them to pour all their love.

Lying on his chest, Brina asked, "Aren't you going back to your chamber?"

"Nope. From today on, I will stay with you here. After we get officially engaged then we can shift to my quarter." Louis said, making Brina speechless.

Seriously??!!

What if someone sees them?

This isn't anymore a CEO-Employee relationship!

"Don't be kiddish, Louis! What if someone enters my room or yours and finds us sleeping naked? Won't it be the end of-" Brina got stopped when she felt Louis's hot gaze on her.

Why is she feeling like something bad is going to happen?

Brina gulped and looked up, only to see his scorching eyes.

"Wh.. what?" She asked but shrieked when he abruptly lifted her and carried her to the bed on his shoulders.

"Hey.. hey.. what are you doing now? Didn't you just want to just sleep?" Brina asked in a hurried tone.

"I actually wanted to 'just' sleep, honey. But you are the one who awoke the sleeping beast." Louis said, deposition Brina in bed.

"Huh? When have I-" Brina stopped abruptly, when she understood what he meant.

'Sleeping naked.'

It provoked the beast..

"Got it, honey?" Louis asked, getting on top of her.

"So petty for the future King." Brina said, shaking her head.

"In front of you, I am always the petty, jealous Louis.. irrespective of whether I am an employee or CEO or Prince or a King." Louis whispered in her ear as his hands started unbuttoning her pajama's shirt.

"You really know how to flatter a girl, dear boyfriend. It will be helpful for you from tomorrow." Brina chuckled and her hands involuntarily reached for his t-shirt.

Who can blame them for being desperate? They have indeed suffered so much in these few days and this is the exact way to let out their emotions and bad memories.

"For me, you are the one and only woman, love. Those ladies are nothing in my eyes." Louis said, pressing her into the bed. He started kissing her neck, shoulders and cleavage..

…..

The next morning…

It was almost five thirty in the morning when Louis woke up. This is the first time he peacefully slept after coming back to Aletros.

His babygirl is in his arms and her head is buried in his chest. Her steady breathing is warmly lingering on his body and that was enough for Louis to realize that he isn't dreaming and his Brina has really come for him.

Their clothes are thrown carelessly on the floor while the warm duvet was covering both their bodies.

Their limbs were tangled up in such a way that it was difficult to differentiate.
