River and Lily have been, or rather had been, friends for almost all their lives until a one nightstand ruined any semblance of a friendship between them.

Lily would strongly like to blame the fact that she was foolish on that night and River, well, he doesn't look like he has a lot to say or think about the night in question.

Now, four years down the line, after one isolating the other and another still being bitter hurt over the events that succeeded that particular night, Lily is called in for a royal favor.

With River's coronation as king drawing near, she has to keep his rather, messy, to be lightly put, record on a clean squeaky plate. How to do that you ask? Well, obviously by avoiding him and being professional to a fault.

But the ignorant blind fool doesn't get the memo. In fact, to her, it looks like River is doing anything other than being professional and distant.

"I was going to ruin you!" he shouts in exasperation and I eye him for a moment, watching his chest rise and fall rapidly until he calms down.

"I was already ruined. I fail to see any sort of damage that could have outdone what I've gone through." I shrug and pick up my folder from the bed.

Lily has no much to think about during the summer but if there's something she's certain of, it's that she is not ready to be the reason River's crown topples off his head no matter how much he wants to be the problem in her course.

Another Royal Frog

River is drawing patterns on my naked back while I'm busy panicking after what we just did.

None of us has spoken since we broke apart from our third orgasm together but we both know we'll need to.

My heart is pounding anxiously, my brain looking for ways to explain myself.

Didn't I initiate this? Then why am I nervous?

I shiver when his finger dips down my back, dangerously grazing the skin just above my waist.

"Do you wanna talk?" He asks from behind me, pulling my body close to him so that his chin lays on my shoulder.

"Do you regret it?" He asks quietly, hand caressing my stomach.

His touch makes me shiver, sending delectable after shocks down to my core.

"No," I tell him honestly, "I just don't know what to say about it."
