A Convict's Lover by Kayla Trautman (the false prince series .txt) 📕

Sarah sighed, "She's hurting because she lost a second child and she can't give you a family but that's why she won't see you. She has it set in her mind that you couldn't possibly love her anymore and that she isn't worth more than a sack of potatoes to you now. But she loves you with her heart and she can't bear to look at you when you don't love her, her words."

He frowned, "How could she think that? That's insane! She's delusional!" "She's hurting but whenever she lets you in the room you have to convince her otherwise." Sarah said. "For now, all we can do is go to supper. Henry or Percy will take a plate up to her and make sure she eats later."

"I'm going to skip supper tonight. I'm going for a walk but I will escort you to the dining room." He said as he offered her his arm. She inclined her head and took his arm. He wasn't going for a walk. He had to do something about Julie and he knew exactly what he was going to do. He was going to show her he loved no matter how long it took. He has been a gentleman this time because he wanted to wait until she would be open to his wild side but he couldn't hold it in any longer. She would have him and she would know that he loved and adored her. She would know that for him, it was either her or death. He couldn't live and not have her and he wouldn't.

Julie ran her water and undressed. She climbed in and sat down, letting the hot water cover her from her head to her shoulders. The water was very inviting and was the solution to all of her problems. She took a breath and sighed as she submerged herself completely into the water. She placed her hands on the sides of the tub and let her breath out; the water stinging her lungs. Just as she did she saw a shimmering figure appear over the tub and she was suddenly grabbed by her shoulders and yanked out of the water.

She choked on the water and took a deep breath as soon as the coughing settled. She looked into the furious eyes of Daniel. "What the hell were you thinking?!" He yelled at her. She looked away and whispered, "What are you doing in here? This is a private room."

"Well it won't be a private room anymore." He stood up and pulled her out of the tub, throwing a towel at her in the process. She wrapped the towel around her and watched as he removed his shirt, leaving him topless. He grabbed another towel and dried his arms before drying her hair.

When that was finished he took both towels from her and tossed them to the side. She covered her chest with her arms and frowned, "Can you please just leave? You can lock the bathroom door from the inside if you wish but just leave." He grabbed her arm  and dragged her into the bedroom. He turned her to face him and backed her up against the wall.

She gasped when her back against the wall, "Daniel, what are you doing? I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry for what I almost did. I'm sorry for everything. I couldn't say it enough. Please forgive me!" He could hear the terror in her voice but he knew it wasn't fear of him.

Daniel reached up and grabbed a fistful of her hair at the back of her head and tilted her head back. "How could you think that I don't love you?" He growled. She swallowed, "If she told you that then she told you everything." He reached down between them with one hand to unfasten his breeches, "You are past delusional, you know that, right?"

He released her hair so that he could grab the back of her thighs and lift her up so, her knees craddled his hips. She grabbed his shoulders for balance and panicked, "Daniel, no. I can't. I'm not worth-" She whimpered when he bent forward and nipped her breast. He lifted his head and pressed his body against hers, "Even the finest jewels in the world could compare to your worth. I love you with every bit of my soul. I couldn't breathe without you. The two years that we were apart I was heartless and cruel, even to my friends. You know why that is, Julie? Because you're my heart and without you I'm not a man anymore. You make me the man I want to me and I will never stop needing you by my side."

His eyes went dark again, full of fury and passion and pure desire and lust "If I ever hear you speaking so lowly of yourself again, I would be forced to take you over my knee." Her eyes widened at that but oddly enough that didn't frighten her but put an erotic image in her mind. She looked down and whispered, "Do you ... still want to marry me even though ... I can't give you the family that you want?"

"You are my family and my love." He growled and before she knew it he pushed inside of her so fast and hard that a whimper escaped her lips and she gripped his shoulders. "Oh lord" She muttered. He watched her as he repeated the action. She cried out and wrapped her arms around his neck, bending her head to kiss him. Every time he thrusted into her she tightened her knees on his hips  and pressed her hands into the back of his shoulders, digging her nails into his skin.
