> Alice could barely breathe.
Her back was firm against the wall, and Prince Cedric was so close that she could feel the warmth of his body pressing into hers. His hands were on her waist, fingers digging in just enough to let her know he wasn’t letting her go. His blue eyes burned into hers, filled with something dark and unreadable.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands pressed against his chest in a weak attempt to push him away. But he didn’t budge.
> "You keep trying to fight me, little mouse," Cedric murmured, his voice low, teasing. "But I can feel how much you like this."
Alice shook her head quickly. "I don’t—"
Before she could finish, he grabbed one of her legs and lifted it, hooking it around his waist. The sudden movement made her gasp, her fingers gripping onto his tunic for balance.
Cedric smirked. "That’s better."
Her skin burned where he touched her, and no matter how much she tried to ignore it, she could feel the way his body pressed into hers, making her stomach twist in ways it shouldn’t.
> "This is wrong," she whispered, her voice barely steady.
He leaned in, his lips brushing over her cheek before moving to her ear. "Then why aren’t you stopping me?"
Alice swallowed hard. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn’t come. His fingers traced slow circles on her thigh, his other hand still gripping her waist, holding her in place.
> "You belong to me," Cedric whispered, his voice sending shivers down her spine. "You’ve belonged to me since the first time I saw you. You think I don’t see the way you look at me when you think no one’s watching?"
Alice’s breathing hitched.
His lips moved lower, grazing her neck, pressing slow, open-mouthed kisses against her skin. "You want me to stop?" he asked, his tongue flicking against the sensitive spot just below her ear.
Her fingers curled into his tunic, her body betraying her.
> "Say it, little mouse," Cedric taunted, his hand sliding up her thigh, gripping it tighter. "Tell me you don’t want this."
Alice squeezed her eyes shut. She knew this was dangerous. He was the prince—betrothed to another—and if anyone found them like this, she’d be the one punished, not him. But the way he spoke to her, the way his body felt against hers, it was making it impossible to think.
She gasped when he rocked his hips against hers, the movement sending sparks through her.
> "You feel that?" Cedric breathed, his lips brushing against her cheek. "That’s what you do to me."
Her whole body trembled. "Cedric—"
He kissed her jaw, then her lips, deep and claiming. Alice made a weak noise of protest, but it was swallowed by his mouth, his tongue sliding against hers, coaxing her into surrender.
> "You taste so sweet," he groaned, pressing his forehead against hers. "You think I’ll ever let anyone else have you?"
Alice’s heart pounded in her chest. This wasn’t supposed to happen. She was supposed to be invisible, just another maid in the palace. Not the girl the prince cornered in the dark, whispering filthy promises against her skin.
Before she could gather the strength to push him away, Cedric grabbed her other leg, lifting it so both were wrapped around his waist. The movement pressed her against him in a way that made her head spin.
> "You feel so good like this," he murmured, his hands gripping her thighs as he rocked into her again. "Soft. Warm. Mine."
A soft whimper slipped from her lips before she could stop it.
Cedric grinned. "That’s it, little mouse. Give in to me."
She shook her head, trying to push at his shoulders. "You’re betrothed," she whispered desperately. "If anyone finds out—"
> "They won’t," Cedric cut in, kissing her again, deeper this time. His fingers gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Do you think I care about anyone else? You think any of those spoiled noble girls can make me feel like this?"
Alice clenched her jaw, trying to turn her head away, but he wouldn’t let her.
> "You were made for me," he whispered, his thumb brushing over her bottom lip. "You just don’t know it yet."
She hated how much her body responded to him, how his words made her skin burn. He was saying the things no one had ever dared to say to her, making her feel things she had no right to feel.
Before she could open her mouth to protest, a deep voice suddenly cut through the air.
> "Cedric."
Alice’s eyes flew wide.
Cedric tensed, his grip on her tightening for a moment before he slowly turned his head.
There, standing at the end of the hall, was Prince Alistair—his older brother.
His arms were crossed over his chest, his expression unreadable. But his dark eyes flicked between them, taking in the way Cedric had her pressed against the wall, her legs still wrapped around his waist.
Alice’s stomach dropped.
Cedric didn’t let her go immediately. Instead, he smirked, as if completely unbothered. "Brother," he said lazily. "Didn’t realize you were watching."
Alistair’s jaw ticked. "Put. Her. Down."
Cedric sighed dramatically, then let Alice slide back down onto her feet. But he didn’t step away. His hands stayed on her waist, keeping her close, as if daring her to move.
Alice, barely able to breathe, shoved at his chest. This time, he let her go.
Her heart pounded as she turned and bolted, her legs weak beneath her as she ran. She didn’t stop until she reached the safety of her small quarters, slamming the door shut behind her.
She pressed her back against it, chest heaving. Her skin was still hot, her lips still tingling from his kisses.
She let out a shaky breath, closing her eyes.
What had she just done?
