Every Little Part of Me

Chapter 16

"That was..." Maxon breathed

"Amazing." I panted and smiled. Maxon rolled onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow and he brushed a lock of hair away from his face. I rolled over and nuzzled into him. He opened his arms and pulled me closer. He pulled the covers up over us as we cuddled and I rested my head in the crook of his neck. With his thumb, he drew circles on my shoulder and kissed my forehead

"You are phenomenal" He whispered

"You keep complimenting me with big words. You're spoiling me."

"You deserve to be spoiled -Hey what happened to baking cookies?" He pulled back to look at me, I yawned "Close your eyes darling, I will too." I listened to his heart beating as my head rose and fell with his chest. I slowly drifted off to sleep

----

I woke up to Maxon shifting out of bed. He quickly redressed before opening the door slightly. I was still half asleep and unable to make out the hushed conversation. The door closed and I rolled over

"Who was that?" I mumbled

"Mother, she said it was time for dinner but I asked her to send it up here." He placed a gentle kiss on my lips then went off to the bathroom and came back with a robe. He pulled back the blankets and helped me put it on. I laid back down and he sat on the edge of the bed next to me

"Maxon, can I ask you a question?" I looked up at him

"Anything, darling."

"If I were to leave, would you be happy?" I asked "Like the first day you kicked me out, if I actually left, and you had to propose to someone else, would you be happy?"

"I would regret my decision to kick you out everyday. Lucky for me, you're too damn stubborn to even listen to the prince."

"I'm not sure how much longer you'll find my stubbornness to be good." I warned him. There was another knock at the door. Maxon got up to get it

"Prince Maxon, I have dinner for yourself and Lady America." A butler said. Maxon poked his head around the door

"America, would you like me to request dessert?" He asked

I sat up "Is that even a question?"

"I'll take that as a yes." He turned back and whispered something to the butler

"Of course, your Highness." Maxon took the plated from the butler and shut the door

"Smells good." I said

"Looks good too." He handed me the tray and climbed back into bed next to me

"How does this work now?" I asked "Do I have to wait for you, Mr. Prince?"

"I'm not sure, I've never eaten in my bed with another person. I say, you can just go for it." I did exactly that. For the next few minutes the only sound was eating. "America, I-" He was cut off by yet another knock.

"Ughh, how many times is someone going to knock on your door today?" I complained as he got out of bed

"I'm sorry." He said and opened the door

"Is Lady America with you?" The butler asked

"Yes. Is everything okay?" Maxon asked worriedly

"Everything is fine, her sister Kenna Orders is on the phone." He told Maxon.

Kenna! I haven't heard from her in so long!

"Okay thank you." Maxon said and shut the door "Your sister is on the line in your room." I got up and ran to my room and picked up my phone
