Eve_Palace

She is the Crown Princess. He is her bodyguard.
Falling in love was forbidden, but will they risk everything and pursue their romance?

---------------------------

Lena is the Crown Princess of the Ephemere Kingdom. Confined inside the palace walls for most of her life, the person she would often turn to is her personal protector and dedicated bodyguard, Luca. 

During her childhood years, she treated him as her best friend. Her ally. A protective, older brother who never fails to save her when she needed saving.

But as Lena grew up and blossomed into adulthood, she began developing an attraction for her bodyguard. Gradually, she started noticing him as a man.

Luca secretly loved her too, but knowing his position, he refused to entertain any romantic notions with her. Falling in love with the princess is forbidden. It was her destiny to take the throne when the time is right, and that means, being betrothed to another royalty worthy of her status.

But what if they couldn’t suppress their feelings any longer? What if something happens that would throw them both in a situation where they could pretend that ranks and royalty didn’t exist? Would they pursue their romance? Or would Lena end up upholding her royal duties in the end?

The Princess's Bodyguard

The tiny hairs on her skin rose at my touch. Her chest heaved and fell with every heavy breath she took as I finally touched her in a place I'd never touched her before.

But I didn't move the hand that was on her naked chest. I, too, was breathing heavily, battling with myself between giving in to my carnal instincts or taking it slow.

I gazed at her once more, taking a moment to appreciate Lena, my beautiful wife.

Her long hair was pushed behind her shoulders, so I could see everything above her belly button, where her dress fell in a heap around her waist and on my lap. The firelight danced on every curve and dip of her beautiful body, tantalizing me.

My hand trembled slightly against her flesh, but still, I didn't move it. I lifted my gaze and met her round eyes, which revealed her nervousness and embarrassment.
