HIS QUEEN novel Chapter 14

I snuggled deeper into my hard pillow. Wait. It wasn't a pillow. It was a chest. I opened my eyes to see Thane looking at me. A unreadable expression on his handsome face. I was laying atop him, a hard bulge pressing against my stomach. I blushed and quickly rolled over. I scratched my mark nervously.

He removed my hands. "Stop that" I noticed I scratched the mark whenever I didn't know what to do about my emotions. The door opened and Jairus came in grinning widely. He sniffed around and paused.

"Fucking hell. Did you guys have sex?" He scrunched his face. I blushed and looked away while Thane growled.

"That's fucking disgusting. You are like my parents."

"Nobody asked you to come in here without knocking." Thane answered him.

"You are supposed to lock the fucking door" he looked at me. "If you have completed the bond does that mean you can mind link him now?"

"We didn't complete the bond" he looked at his father in confusion before understanding graced his face.

"TMI father"

"What exactly are you here for?"

"The ball is being held in one week."

"Shit. I fucking forgot about it" he stood up from the bed.

"Inform Valdus and Noir that we have a meeting in an hour. They are to converge at the conference room with the cabinet members. Inform the matron so the slaves can start preparation. And give me some fucking privacy." Jairus bowed at his father and gave me a wave.

I stood up from the bed and headed to the door.

" Where are you going?"

"I was giving you privacy. Plus I want to go downstairs and help with the preparation."

"You are not a slave anymore." he walked to me. He led me into the bathroom and we showered together. He gave me another of his shirts.

"Nala will lend you a dress. You'll go dress shopping with her." he kissed my forehead and went out.

A few moments after he left, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I called out.

She twisted the knob and came inside. She smiled at me. "I wasn't sure what dress to bring so I brought jeans and tee." I collected them.

"Thank you" I went to the bathroom to change. The tee was a big especially in the chest area. Nala had a larger chest than I did. The jeans fit my hips but the waist was to large. I stepped out of the bathroom unsurely.

"You look good." I followed her out of the room. A car was waiting outside. We drove to a small boutique. A petite woman showed us around the store and Nala helped me pick out a few things.

We ate at a small restaurant and headed home. I thanked Nala and went upstairs. After I dropped the bags, I went in search of Thane. My body ached to be around him. I scratched my mark as I ran to his study. I knocked on the door and turned the knob.
