Kidnapped by a Prince

Chapter 4

--Samuel's POV--

I could not disappoint the king. He was like a father to me. He brought me in when I was quite young and raised me along side his own child Prince Xander. At first, Queen Amethyst was not pleased to find that her husband, the soon to be king, had brought a street rat like me; and you could probably imagine her disgust when I was allowed to play with the royal heir's child, Xander, but with time she finally accepted me and we grew to be a very close family.

As time passed, I soon split with my "brother" and began to train as a knight while he learned how to be a proper ruler. Throughout these many years, we have remained brothers, not by blood, but by something even greater.

Honestly, I owe my life to this family, so of course I accepted this mission. If this will bring happiness to my brother, mother, and father, I will definitely risk anything.

I saddle up and ride out into the night, silent and elusive as a shadow.

--Melody's POV--

"Stop!" I squeal gasping for breathe. Darren had me pinned under his heavy body and was tickling my exposed feet.

"Nope," he replied smugly. "Not until you say I am the most devastatingly sexy and romantic person in the whole world " he says with a devilish grin.

"Okay," I reply with a sly grin, "I am the most devastatingly sexy and romantic person in the whole world" I mimic while batting my eyelashes in an overly exaggerated manner.

"Be that way," he says with a pout before tickling not only my feet, but now also my stomach and armpits. Why is he so strong? He doesn't even bother pinning me down anymore because he knows I can't move anyway.

Finally I manage to choke out an apology. "Ple--ahh! Stop! Please!! Darren!" I'm full out screaming by now. "Darren I can't breathe!" I say dramatically. He finally let's up, an expectant look on his face suggesting that I continue. "And you're the most devastatingly sexy and most romantic person in the whole world," the tall brown-haired boy next to me claps like a five year old. I roll my eyes trying to hide my amusement at my boyfriend's antics.

He smirks at me before trying to peck my lips, but I turn away just in time, so his lips only manage to catch my cheek. Now it's my turn to smile.

I can see the lust clearly as Darren gazes at my lips. "Come on, babe. Just a kiss. That's all I want. No one likes a tease," my boyfriend says huskily as he pulls me closer to him on the couch.

"Too bad. You don't get one. You know I hate when you tickle me," I say smugly. I like knowing that I can affect him this way just by withholding a kiss.

"Melody!" He growls dangerously close to my ear.

"Nope," I say as I allow his wandering hands to guide me on top of him.

He gives me a smug grin. "Couldn't resist could you?" He asks.

"Oh trust me, I know what I'm doing," I whisper into his ear with a sideways grin as I begin to move my hips, grinding on his body. I have one hand running through his hair while the other lightly runs up and down his chest. I feel his breath catch and then quicken as I begin to kiss down his jawline, slightly biting, causing him to moan.

"Stop teasing me." He says in a low voice.

I let out a moan right in his ear and feel his little friend digging into my thigh. Mission accomplished. With that I jump off him and sprint to the hallway. Unfortunately, my boyfriend could pretty much be a track star and I'm a potato, so he catches me in a matter of seconds, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me right up against his now hard area.

"You've left me with quite the problem," he growls gesturing towards his obvious tent.

I look up at him with a stupid grin on my face. "I know."

I look up at my boyfriend with puppy eyes, initiating my escape plan. "I'm sorry, Darren" I lie, "let me help," I close my eyes and lean in like I'm going to kiss him, and he follows suit giving me just enough time to wiggle out of his grasp and push him, not particularly hard, but enough to make him stumble. While Darren catches his balance, I bolt down the narrow walkway and make it to my room and lock my door. Thank goodness my house is small. A couple seconds later I hear a bang, a few interesting words, and then him sliding down the door defeated.

"Can I come in?" He asks.

"What's the magic word?" I ask in that annoying voice adults use to talk to babies.

"Please?" He replies using the same tone.

With that I unlock the door and swing it open causing him to fall back into my room. I start giggling like crazy and he joins in. Soon we are both on the carpet laughing hysterically. It wasn't that funny but sometimes once you start laughing it's impossible to stop.

When we can finally breathe again we take a seat on my bed, hands touching. I smile at him and he beams right back at me.

"I love you," he says in a voice barely above a whisper.

"I love you too," I say eyes locked on his.

He leans in and I am about to meet him for a kiss when I hear a loud banging from downstairs. Startled, we draw apart. Dang. I liked kissing Darren. I look over and see he looks just as dissapointed. I give him a smile and pull him off the bed with me. We hurry down the steps to the front door. Who would be visiting at such an hour?
