Pairing: Maxwell x Erin (written by @emichelle)

This is for a prompt request! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy it!
Tumblr media
It had been five weeks since the birth of their daughter, Erin had wanted nothing to do with looking nice or done up. Comfort was key, and she had found the most comfortable collection of her husbands tee shirts. Band shirts, sport shirts, goofy sayings, he had them all and she had squealed like a little girl when she stumbled upon them yesterday. He had been gone the last week for a few stops to sign and read his book, he was due back that night sometime so she wasn't sure how he would take her stealing his shirts...but truth be told she didn't care. 
She spent the day in his tee shirt and a pair of pink boy shorts, caring for Cadence. She was such a perfect mix of the two of them but she could already tell she'd have her father's personality. She thought everything was just so funny. She always had a little gummy grin going on, and logically Erin knew that it wasn't a real smile but come on...she's Maxwell Beaumont's kid. As 7:00 rolled around it was time for her last bottle before bed, she laid cradled in Erin's arms propped up on the pillows in their bed. 
"Daddy will be home tonight sweet girl. He's so ready to hold you again, he hasn't liked being away from you so much already. I think he might miss me too a little." She giggled as Cadence deadpanned up at her.
"You're right, definitely just you. My bad." She kissed her daughter on the forehead before finishing up her nightly routine and putting her into her crib.
Heading into the kitchen to clean up a little, she turned on some music to pass the time. She was squatted wiping down cabinets when My Oh My came on, Camila Cabello is easily one of her favorite singers right now. She began swaying her hips from her position on the floor, popping her hip and shimmying back to standing. Reaching up to wipe the backsplash the shirt rose up revealing her boy shorts and round backside as she continued to sway her hips. She hadn't noticed Maxwell come in.
He stood biting his lip, turning his head up towards the ceiling, "thank you".
He slowly stalked towards her, trying (and failing) to do the math in his head before his large hands wrapped around her waist. He kissed the side of her neck before turning her to look up at him, smiling at her huge grin.
"Hi baby."
"Hi. I missed you." He leaned down capturing her lips in a sweet kiss before it turned more heated.
He reached down grabbing her behind the thighs before pulling her up quickly as she landed with her legs draped over his biceps.
"Woaaahh there big boy, we've still got a week left." She ran her fingers through his hair as he kissed up the insides of her thighs, alternating between them.
He huffed, looking up at her with lust blown eyes. "You can't wear this anymore then. Where did you even find this shirt?"
"That is neither here nor there, the better question is where did you learn to do" she gestured around them with her hands, "THAT."
He grinned, "Oh you like that?"
She hummed her approval as her feet swayed idly, "I could get some use out of it, yes. But you didn't answer the question."
"Competitive cheerleading." He lifted the shirt, kissing just below her belly button before lowering her back down and heading to the fridge.
She stood there dumbfounded, "Uh...do you really think you're just going to drop that bomb and I'm going to ignore it!? You did competitive cheerleading?"
"No, but it's an amazing full body workout."
She scrunched her mouth together and drew her eyebrows in, looking super perplexed. "Well...alright then Mr. Beaumont. Go ahead with your bad self." She smacked his ass as he chuckled, smacking her back.
"Yeah you're gonna think go ahead. You've got a week, you better be doing stretches!" He called to her retreating form as she pulled his tee shirt up and flashed her ass at him. 
"Promises, promises."

Eggselent Adventure 🐣
Happy Easter from the Girls of CGW.
This is from the CGW universe (Cordonians gone wild) a collaborative AU effort by @ao719 @speedyoperarascalparty @cocomaxley and myself. Catch our other stories HERE
Tumblr media
The girls sat in the chairs at the spa, getting their pedicures. “So easter is coming up really fast. Any plans?” Pam questioned
“No. Since its our first easter together, I am staying here instead of going to Chicago. Plus my parents are going on a cruise.” Genevieve said with closed eyes.
“Same. I told my parents that I would come in June and we could go to the beach house with them. They are bugging to meet Leo.” Alicia sighed.
“Well, since were all staying in Cordonia how about we spend easter together?” Anitah said sipping her glass of champagne.  
“Of course I do. This time we will wait to get hammered until after dinner.” Anitah giggled as she high fived Alicia.
“You sure you want to do that? Do you remember Thanksgiving?” Pam quirked her brow, remembering the disaster it was.
“Umm and how about Maxwell not being allowed around the deep fryer.” Gen added in, they all nodded in agreement.
“We should do something fun. I seen something on pinterest about Adult egg hunts.” Alicia said pulling up the app on her phone.  
“oooh I saw that too. People put little liquor bottles in them. Or other things.” Anitah squealed.
“What kind of other things? Oooh, how about we make it a dirty egg hunt. Each egg would have a sexual favor or situation in them.” Pam grinned, her mind swirling of all the fun things she could do with Drake.  
“Hell yes! I'm in.” Genevieve smirked.
“Same.” Alicia and Anitah said simultaneously.
“Although I wouldn't mind finding some alcoholic eggs too.” Alicia giggled.
A couple weeks later the four couples and Maxwell gathered in the main dining hall. Alicia and Anitah spent the whole morning cooking. While Genevieve and Pam stuffed the rest of the eggs and instructed the staff what to do with them.
They gathered around the huge ham dinner with all the fixings. Maxwell licked his lips as he plopped a huge helping of mashed potatoes on his plate. “Tiger Lily, Little blossom, this looks and smells so good. Luckily I have my fat pants on.”
“Seriously, this is amazing.  Considering the fiasco Thanksgiving was.” Liam grinned, Leo shuddered “Don't remind me. My eyebrows never grew back right.”
Maxwell held up his hands defensively “im fo fawry weo.” He said with a mouth full of potatoes. They group finished eating and sat around nice and stuffed, talking and laughing when the Ladies stood.
“Ok guys, we have prepared a little fun for us. If you'll join us in the Garden.” Anitah spoke up. They walked into the garden, dozens of eggs were strewn about on the palace lawn. “An easter egg hunt? What are we 6?” Drake snorted, prompting a hard slap to the chest from pam. “No Drake. This is an adult egg hunt. No candy, well maybe some are … edible.” she giggled. Leo cocked his brow “Edible love?” Alicia bit her lower lip.
“Yep. Some have naughty items, some have other treats.” Genevieve winked.
“She means booze. Some have booze.” Alicia shouted. The guys all nodded in Appreciation.
“Some also have naughty couples ideas. There are hidden eggs too. They aren't all going to be right in the grass. Gen and I had the staff hide them. So we don't know where they are hidden.” Pam added.
“I can't wait. I am an egg hunting pro. If I knew we were doing this I could have brought the egganator 2000.” Maxwell danced in place.
“what the hell is that Maxwell?” Alicia quipped her eye.
“Oh, my special easter egg hunting bag. Guaranteed no spillage.” He said matter of factly.
The staff handed out bags so they could collect eggs. Anitah grew impatient  “Ok, enough of this. Lets hunt. Annnnnd GO!” Anitah shouted as they all took off scooping of eggs.
“Drake over here.” Pam motioned towards the left side of the garden. Anitah and Liam took off towards the hedge maze, maxwell covered the lawn and patio, Genevieve and Rashad took off around the outside of the maze, while Alicia and Leo headed towards the right side.  
Anitah and Liam zipped through the maze following a trail of eggs. Liam set his sights on a golden egg tucked partially out of view in the hedge. He quickly made his way over, extending his hand to grab the egg when Anitah snatched it up. “Anitah! I was going to get that one.”
“You gotta be quicker than that my king.” she winked as he grabbed her hand spinning him i to her. “I believe stealing from the king requires punishment. You have been a bad girl, my queen.” his husky voice sending a shiver through her body. Anitah backed away slowly from Liam “well my king,  I look forward to that, but, you have to catch me first.”
Genevieve and Rashad quickly picked up eggs. “Here you are sweetheart this one is sparkly, just like you.” Rashad handed her a pink sparkly egg. “Rashad. Honey. I don't think you quite get the idea of an egg hunt.  But thank you, you are so sweet.” she kissed him on the cheek, he quickly turned his face capturing her lips, surprising her. “Rashad, you little devil.” she playfully swatted him. “All part of my plan, my dear. He pulled her flesh to him, capturing her lips once again when they heard rustling in the bushes. Milo popped out with something in his mouth. “Oh, Milo. What do you have there?” Genevieve cheerfully called out as milo scampered up to Rashad, dropping the item at his feet. He bent down to pick it up. “Ew, what is it? Its covered in drool and it smells like cherries?”
Genevieve tried to stiffen her giggles “Baby, that's edible undies.” Rashad promptly dropped the undergarments and shuddered. I've lost my appetite.
Leo and Alicia quickly picked up all the eggs in the section they were in. They found themselves in a secluded section of the garden away from their friends. Alicia felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. “What are you doing Leo?”
“Nothing…” He brushed her hair away from her neck as his lips nipped against her delicate skin. “We are supposed to be looking for eggs.”
“Screw the eggs. We have enough.” His warm breath leaving goosebumps all over her body, his hand slipped beneath her sun dress causing Alicia to drop her bag of eggs. “Ok, you win.” she breathed out.
Pam and Drake scooped up all of the eggs in their section.  “If we hurry up, we can find more. Look, Rashad and Genevieve left a ton of eggs behind.” Pam pointed out as she bent over to pick up an egg. A breeze slightly lifting her dress, exposing the globes of her ass. Drake groaned at the sight, adjusting his hardening length. Pam turned noticing the bulge in her in his pants, she bit her bottom lip and walked up to him “I can take care of that.” she whispered in his ear as she drug him off behind a tree. She dropped to her knees “Pam. Here? You don't have to. OH GOD. That. Feels…..”
The gang all gathered back on the patio. “Ok everyone, lets see what we got. Gen and Rashad,  how about you start us off.” Pam told her.
Genevieve reached for one of the larger eggs and a little bottle of Grey Goose vodka fell into her palm. “Yes! I love vodka. It just doesn't like me all time.” She giggled as she watch Rashad open an egg. He pulled out a small tube of strawberry flavored lube. He looked his wife with hungry eyes, “There’s only one flavor I like more than strawberries.” He reached for another egg that had a slip of paper inside. He handed it to her with a grin. She read it aloud, “Boss and secretary...oohh. I get to be the boss this time.” She opened another egg in their pile. This one had another folded sheet of paper. “Reverse cowgirl,” she smiled coyly at Rashad who smirked. He leaned in close whispering, “Get ready to ride hard tonight, sweetheart.” He kissed her flushed cheek.
“Ready to open our eggs, love?” Liam smiled at Anitah.
She rubbed her hands together with a grin. “Yes!”
Liam opened the first egg, a small bottle of scotch. “Glenfiddich! This is good stuff,” Liam grinned.
Anitah opened the next egg pulling out something red and read the tag. “Eat me,” she chuckled holding up the strawberry flavored edible thong.
A low growl escaped Liam as he smirked, wriggling his brows. “You’re wearing those later.” He opened the next egg pulling out something small, purple and textured. “What is this?” He shook it next to his ear and Anitah began to laugh.
“That’s a finger vibrator, Liam.” She took it from him and slipped it on her finger through the small ring. A wide grin spread across his face. Anitah shook her head and opened the last egg pulling out a piece of paper. “Backwards cowgirl,” she looked up at Liam biting her lip.
“Easter is officially my favorite holiday. We got everything we need for the very fun night ahead of us, my Queen,” he smirked as he leaned down kissing her.
“You ready to see what we got?” Pam grinned excitedly looking at her husband. Drake nodded, opening his first egg. “Makers Mark! Alright” Drake grinned sticking the small bottle into his pocket. Pam smiled opening an egg and pulling out a strip of paper. “69” is all that was written on it. She bit her lip and turned it out toward Drake, who read the paper and smiled ear to ear. He leaned in kissing Pam. “Best Easter gift, ever” he growled. Drake opened another egg. He pulled out a white g string that read in orange letters “Some bunny wants your carrot”. Drake smirked dangling the panties by his finger. “As long as these are for you, I am a happy man”. Pam opened her next egg, her brow furrowed as she pulled out the furry tail. She read the slip of paper attached. “Use this butt plug on your partner”. She read aloud. Drake’s face paled, his mouth open in shock
“No..no way.” Pam giggled holding it up for him to see. “But look many, it's a cat's tail...MEOW”. Drake stared his giggling wife down and grabbed the tail putting it back in the egg, flinging it as far away as he could get it. “Not happening, Pam.”
Leo jogged across the lawn retrieving the discarded egg. “Well, look what I found.” He gave Alicia a sly smirk, a look of fear spread across her face. “Ah, lets um open our eggs ok.” she gave a nervous chuckle as she cracked open her first egg pulling out a folded up black piece of satin with a piece of paper in the center.  “Oh! It's a blindfold.” she unfolded the paper. “No look, no touch. The finders hands must be bound, and eyes covered while partner pleases them. “Kinky card repeat. If you thought last time was good.” he waggled his brows. Leo reached into his bag pulling two eggs. “yes! Johnny walker blue for me, and parrot bay, that's all you love.” they opened several eggs getting a couples massage certificate, a few bottles of liquor, and a mr nose mans thong that Leo put on over his pants. Alicia pulled out a small tube she looked at the container “good head, blue raspberry deep throat spray.” she looked at Leo, and then over to Pam and Drake. “Leo, as much as I enjoy giving you head. This screams Drammy.” Alicia giggled as she handed pam the spray.
Maxwell came strutting out of the palace, milo next to him. Anitahs hand flew over her mouth fighting off the giggles. “Does he have?” Pam not able to get the words out. Alicia shook her head “Uh huh, he sure does.”
“Hey guys. I got lots of cool stuff in my eggs. Check out my elephant hat.” he shook his head making the trunk shake. “max that's not a hat.” Genevieve giggled.  “Its not?”
“No. Its underwear, your dick goes in the trunk.” Drake snorted.
Maxwell shrugged his shoulders “Eh, it's pretty cool as a hat.”  
The group shared some laughs,and desert before each heading home. Alicia and Anitah walked together talking before they reached their quarters. “That was fun. We really need to do it again.” Alicia grinned.
“Definitely,  but next year we need to up the ante.” She gave her a wicked smirk before Liam called for her. “Happy Easter.” the two yelled.

SoL 38: Maxwell x Stef
Thanks for asking Mar( @brightpinkpeppercorn )!
As most already know that particular pairing existed within an au I'm no longer a part of, but they're still one of my favorites so I did this anyway 🤗 I hope you enjoy it ❤️❤️
Lost Keys
       Maxwell stomped through the living room, brow furrowed. He tossed aside throw pillows and cushions on both the loveseat and the chair. 
       "They were here. I know they were I had them, sat them down next to the diaper bag-the diaper bag!" He grumbled barely audible.
     He rifled through the baby bag, dumping the contents onto the floor. Dissatisfied, he rose and patted his pockets for the twelfth time- Stephanie had counted.
     She peered over the top of her book to watch her husband shaking a decorative vase upside down.
      "You've been searching for 45 minutes now. Why don't you just ask?" she giggled.
     "Huh, what? Ask what?" Maxwell shook his head, hands planted firmly on his hips as he glanced at her.
     "Ask me to help you find whatever it is you lost."
      He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck, actively trying to avoid his wife's stare. There was absolutely no way he was going to tell her that he'd lost the keys to her brand new car. She would be livid- in fact it may even be grounds for divorce. Definitely not telling her.
        He was positive he'd had them when he walked in the door. He'd sat Evie down, then the diaper bag. Where did he go next?
    "That's alright, Rosebud, you just relax. I'm sure I'll find it on my own." he rattled out, striding towards the kitchen.
     She quirked a brow and smirked as she watched him open the fridge and then close it, only to open it again. One after another he rifled through every drawer and every cabinet.
      "Baby, why don't you just tell me what you're looking for?" Stephanie called from her place on the couch.
     Maxwell wiped his hands down his face with a sigh, eyes going wide when he registered his wife's request. "Uh...it's not... I mean it's definitely something of mine that's of no concern...I just mean you don't have to worry about it, Red. It's not like I lost something important like the car keys or something."
    She returned to her book, humming skeptically.
    Maybe he'd taken them into the bedroom when he'd gone to the bathroom. Okay so those would be the next two spots to search- master bedroom and en suite. 
      Maxwell stalked down the hallway still muttering and patting his pockets.
      Another hour had seen the baby wake up from her nap. It had also seen Lord Beaumont search the garden, Stephanie's dark room, all three bedrooms, the study and every toy box and crevice of Evie's playroom. He had also checked in every cranny of the shiny new SUV itself and still no precious car keys.
      Stephanie pulled their daughter onto her lap and fitted her tiny shoes onto her feet.
      "Find what you were lookin for?" She asked, sweeping Evie onto her hip and picking up the diaper bag from the floor. 
     She'd already repacked it in the wake of Maxwell's previous mess, but she peeked inside to double check.
     "No. No luck yet, but I'm hopeful." Maxwell smiled weakly, scrubbing his hand down his face for the forty-fifth time- Stephanie had counted.
     "I'm sorry, Sugar." the redhead frowned bending slightly to kiss her husband's forehead.
     Puzzled he watched her make her way towards the door. She'd opened it and stepped a foot outside before he finally asked, "Wait a minute. Where are you going?" 
      A smug grin crept across Stephanie's features as she dangled the keys to her beloved SUV from her finger, turning to look at her husband.
      "Mommy and me." she replied innocently.
     Maxwell's jaw went slack.
     "How did you? Where? Stef, did you know the whole time?"
     She could no longer hold in her laughter as it burst from her lips, filling the room in an instant.
     "I'm sorry, Sugar. You just looked so adorable in full stealthy panic mode," she started, clapping her hand over her mouth as Maxwell narrowed his eyes at her his tongue rolling along the inside of his cheek.
    "Very funny, Rosebud. So where were they then, smarty-pants?"
     "I watched Evelyn fish them out of your pocket when you first got home this morning. I just said, 'bring them to Mommy' and she brought them straight over."
      Stephanie could scarcely breathe through her giggles and she watched her husband fold his arms across his chest.
      "You two tiny gingers will be the death of me I swear." he huffed, but despite himself he smiled.

MFackenthal Interviews Liam (from Cordonian’s Gone Wild)
Hello all!
I have been given the biggest honor from @cordoniansgonewild!  As they promote their newest AU, they thought to ask me to help by interviewing a few key Cordonian men.  Each of the men has been interviewed by yours truly and Duke Magazine is printing each of those interviews in separate magazines.  
You’ve all seen the cover of the first magazine by now - but in case not, here it is: 
Tumblr media
And now, without further ado, with a lot of help from @ao719 for this particular interview - here is the article: 
Tumblr media
King Liam strolls through the rose garden, a member of his security team trailing yards behind him. He’s just come from his photo shoot with Duke Magazine. He smiles cordially when he sees me. “Megs, as always, it is great to see you. Y’know, I wouldn’t do this interview with anyone else.” 
“It’s always good to see you too, King Liam. You flatter me, but I think the magazine might have known that.  I’m so sorry to hear about your father,” I say with a curtsey.  
“Megs, we’ve known each other long enough - the curtsey is not necessary,” Liam responds. “Thanks for your condolences. Constantine...tried his best, I suppose. I’ll admit to you and your many viewers - I’m not worried about the shoes I have to fill, however. Those shoes are...rather tight. I plan to be the King that my country and my people need me to be.”
“And you plan to do that through some changes to the social season? I ask.  
“I wanted to change the face of tradition. The other nobles attend the social season events and balls. I figured why not allow them to participate if they so choose to.”
“The more the merrier, huh?” I ask, giving him a light elbow in the ribs. We start walking the maze. “I have to tell you, King Liam, rumor is these changes were made official while most of those involved were drunk. Are you willing to comment on this rumor?”  
Liam rubs back of neck nervously. I’ve never seen Liam so nervous, honestly. “Seriously, just call me Liam, Megs. And…uh…may I ask when is this getting printed? Before or after the start of the social season?” 
“Oh Liam, y’know, you’re cute when you’re nervous. Just relax. Tell me, how do you envision this is going to work? Will you get first dibs on the eligible women who enter the season?” 
Liam gives me a funny look at the term “dibs.” Then he begins, “I guess it will be up to everyone as a whole. Whether or not they find a match and how they feel. There’s no rule saying they have to find someone at the end. My circumstances may be a little different than the others, but again, there’s no rule.” 
“Will you have a rose ceremony each week?” I ask with a wink. 
Liam laughs. “No. No rose ceremony. But they may receive roses just because…” He shrugs.  
“Awh, you really are a romantic at heart, Liam. Okay, well, let’s give my readers a heads up. What are you looking for in a spouse?” 
“I’ve always been raised to think of Cordonia first, that romance isn’t important...so I’ve never really thought much about what kind of woman I would want to actually marry for myself.” 
Liam pauses here and smiles. I almost start my next question but then he continues.
“I guess...obviously someone who is going to be the Queen that Cordonia needs. But maybe...I’m looking for more than just your typical political match marriage. Someone who is...challenging. Who keeps me on my toes. Who I enjoy and look forward to being with. Who makes me...happy.” 
“Liam, I know I speak for many when I say that you deserve that happiness,” I say. 
“Thanks, Megs,” Liam beams. “That means a lot to me.” 
“Okay, we’re getting too sentimental here. Let’s talk logistics. How will the ladies be selected to enter the social season?”
“Well I think the intent is that all the men hopefully find a match. So, each duchy can sponsor however many women they deem eligible.” 
“Will the ladies be allowed to say who they are most interested in?” I ask. 
“I hope they will so we know,” Liam laughs. “It would be a shame to attempt to court someone who’s not interested in you.”
“True, true. What if two or more of you fall for the same person?”
“Ugh, that would put us in rather an awkward spot, wouldn’t it?” Liam looked pensive for a moment before saying, “I guess it will be up to her to decide,” with a very confident smile on his face. 
“Okay, Casanova,” I said rolling my eyes at him. “Tell me, what are you looking forward to in this social season?” 
“Getting to know the suitors and being able to enjoy this new social season as a whole with the others. It gives me a chance as King to see things from a different perspective, I guess you can say. Also...making it through without my friends plotting my demise.”
“Good luck with that, Your Highness,” I said with a laugh. “I’ll be the first to tell you how your friends are handling the pressures of this upcoming season. Is there anything you’re hoping to avoid in this social season?”
“Too much competition?” He says. “Oh Megs, I brought this competition on myself and I’m already not looking forward to hearing that I brought it on myself from people like Drake.” 
I pat Liam on the shoulder as he hangs his head.  “Speaking of other people, has anyone or any organization tried to influence how you will choose a spouse?”  
“You mean has anyone given their opinion of who should be queen? Yes, I’ve already had my fair share of phone calls and conversations trying to...push my choice in a certain direction. But I know I need to be fair to everyone and I’m not allowing anyone to sway me. I’ll wait until the season starts and go from there.”
I nod my head at just how even and fair King Liam is being. “I have two more questions and then one final, most important question.” 
“Hit me with them, Megs.” 
Ticking them off with my fingers, I ask, “will the social season end with multiple weddings?” 
“I wouldn’t go that far,” Liam says as he shakes his head no. “Even with a typical social season there is time after, but since this is not your typical social season, I have even more reason to say no. Not unless the matches choose to do so between themselves.  There’s no pressure to get married.” 
“Two, soOoo can the MFackenthal Show have exclusive rights to publicize the social season? I believe I can give the people what they want and allow each of the suitors involved some privacy.” 
Liam gently laughs. “You have me sold, Megs. As long as my council agrees, I don’t see why not.” 
“Okay, here is the final and most important question…Do you happen to know if Bastien is single?” I ask.  
“Y’know, Megs, he’s right behind us, you can ask him yourself,” Liam says as he laughs and looks back at Bas.  
I have to tell you, dear readers, in all the time I have known Bas, I have never known him to blush.  However, unless Bas was just really sunburnt, I believe I saw him blush just then. I may have been blushing a little myself. He happens to be single, I learned. But this article isn’t really about me.  
You’ve read it here first. King Liam’s social season will be more than just about King Liam finding a Queen.  The season will be about King Liam and other eligible men using the social season to find…well, at least a date, I guess. With any luck - I’ll be there to help show you all how things pan out. I wish Liam and all the men involved the best of luck! 
~~~~~
And now for the tags.  I’m going to tag those of you who have asked to be tagged in my interviews and a few who specifically asked to be tagged for THESE interviews.  @cordoniansgonewild will reblog this with the tags for their fans.  As always - just let me know if you want on or off this list.  
@eileendannie, @hopefulmoonobject @queen-among-writers, @hopelessromantic1352, @lilyofchoices,

New Ornaments
Tumblr media
Lythikos, Cordonia...
"A little more." Olivia motioned with her hand in a downward motion. "There! That's perfect."
Drake finished attaching the lighted garland along the balcony overlooking the den.
He came downstairs to study this part of their home decorated for Christmas.
It was quite a change from how Olivia once decorated. When she was on her own, she would only have a tree decorated in the harsh, old Lythikosian style. Rough, plain wooden ornaments were intermingled with lighted candles upon one of the infamous talon trees that grew deep in the woods of Lythikos.
His nose wrinkled over the memories of that overpowering smell.
Once she became close to his group of friends and well, himself, she began to be a little more open to adding some color with lights and ornaments to her usual display. Soon the plain wooden cutouts were given new life amidst the glittery balls that Riley had gifted one year. Twinkle lights replaced the candles.
And Drake got her to compromise their first year of marriage by getting a Balsam Fir tree.
He took a deep breath of the heavenly evergreen scent mixed with the spicy steam wafting from the Lythikos nog that had recently been brought in by a servant. All was how it should be...
"Wait, where are the kids?" He asked.
Olivia carefully lifted some ornaments from a nearby box. "In the playroom. With the snowstorm earlier, Hana decided to do a zoom meeting with all the kids to keep the Christmas craft tradition going."
Drake chuckled at that. Leave it to Hana to want to make sure all her friends' children along with her own had everything she had missed out on growing up.
"I wonder what they'll make this year." He took a few ornaments from his wife to hang on the higher branches. "Hana is so good with all of them. I'm amazed at the creativity she brings out in them."
"We'll find out soon enough." Olivia smiled at the notion. "I'm certain it is something we will want to add to their memory boxes."
*****************
Upstairs...
"But I want the yarn!" Juliet shouted.
"I don't!" Jackson shouted back. "Aunt Hana said I could pick!"
"And you can!" Hana tried to speak over all the excited voices.
It might have been expecting too much to zoom six children along with her own son and daughter.
"Candy cane swords!" Prince Emerick handed his little brother Ellis one to start an epic fencing match.
"Aunt Hana." Nicky Beaumont called out sweetly. "Can Emily and me use glitter?"
"Pleeeeaaaase!" Her little sister pleaded while bouncing up and down. "Glitter! Glitter! Glitter!"
"Mommy!" Alex pulled on Hana's hand. "Izzy won't let me hold the glue!"
Hana wanted to bury her head in her hands.
"CHILDREN!"
Eight pairs of eyes zeroed in on her. Little mouths were parted in surprise. Their sweet aunt/mother never shouted, not even on a rollercoaster.
The group of seven- and four-year-old's began to pout and tear up.
"We're sorry!" Nicky rubbed her eyes.
Emily blubbered her own apology.
Emerick and Ellis hung their heads in shame while discreetly setting their candy canes on their table.
Izzy and Alec looked up at their mother, whispering their own apologies.
Jackson and Juliet Nevarkis-Walker reacted differently.
"This is all your fault!" Jackson pointed an accusatory finger at his little sister.
"Nu-uh!" Juliet stuck her tongue out at him. "It's yours. You won't give me the yarn!"
"Please, everyone." Hana pleaded, overwhelmed with guilt for losing her patience. "I must apologize to each of you." She cuddled her sniffling two in her arms, wishing she could do the same with the little faces on her computer screen. "I allowed my disappointment of not being able to be with all of you to make me lose my temper."
"We wish you was here, too." Emily Beaumont blew her nose loudly.
The others mumbled the same.
"You know what we are going to do?" Hana decided. "We are going to forget directions this year." She crumbled up the papers she had printed off with the homemade ornament ideas and tossed them over her shoulder. Her heart warmed with the giggles she could hear.
"Whatever you want to do for your Christmas ornaments is what we will do."
The kids cheered while each scrambled around to get the supplies they needed.
Hana released a frustrated breath once she was alone. Lifting her eyes to the ceiling, she whispered a brief prayer that whatever they came up with would be something they would always remember fondly.
***************
An hour later...
Drake and Olivia turned toward the sound of the pounding footsteps of their offspring running down the hall.
The pair came barreling into the room, hiding something behind their backs. Jackson and Juliet each had the proudest smiles gracing their faces as they stood before their parents.
"How was craft time with Aunt Hana?" Drake asked.
"The best!" Juliet exclaimed. "She let us make what we wanted."
"Oh?" Olivia wondered how Hana had managed that. "What did you decide to make?"
"You go first, Jax." Juliet whispered.
He grinned at her before producing what he had created.
Drake and Olivia's eyes widened.
Tumblr media
"It's...er..." Drake began.
"That's...definitely..." Olivia stuttered.
"It's a peppermint star!" Jackson told them. "For the top of the tree!"
Drake and Olivia looked up at their beautifully decorated tree.
Sharing a grin, Olivia reached for it. She traced the lopsided star with her finger then handed it over to Drake to hang on the tree.
Picking the highest branch, Drake set it directly in the center. He couldn't stop smiling over Jackson beaming proudly up at his ornament.
"My turn! My turn!" Juliet pushed her thick red curls out of her eyes before presenting her ornament.
Olivia choked back a laugh when Drake managed to ask, straight-faced if she was inspired by the Beaumont's. Whatever that thing was that their youngest created, it did appear to have come from the mysterious depths of the ocean.
"No. Why?" She asked.
"No reason." He took the ball of tangled yarn from her. "This is beautiful, Jules."
"I love how it looks like he's melting." Jax complimented before falling to the ground in a reenactment of a snowman dying a gruesome death.
"He lost a battle." Jules told her family with all the seriousness a four-year-old could muster.
Her green eyes met her mother's. "He wasn't made of Lythikos snow."
Olivia picked her daughter up, hugging her close. "Then he never stood a chance."
Juliet nodded, knowing out of everyone in her family that her mother would understand.
"We'll hang him here." Drake decided, chuckling softly to himself.
Tumblr media
"You know," Olivia spoke up once Drake had lifted Jackson in his arms, "I think this is the best our tree has ever looked."
She gazed about at the sight of her home decorated for the holidays. For the most part, it was beautiful with the greenery and lights. She knew though that it was those two poorly constructed ornaments that proved that this cold castle was indeed a home.
They were the proof that she had achieved the one thing she had wanted most in life: a family. Those ornaments were worth more than any medal or recognition she had ever earned simply because they came from the two, she loved with her entire heart.
"I think you're right." Drake smiled first at her then at their children. "I've never seen a better tree."

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Day 7 of the Choices 12 Days of Fictmas by @leelee10898
Summary: The CGW kids see mom kissing someone that isn't dad.
Song: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Part of the CGW Universe created by @ao719 @speedyoperarascalparty @leelee10898 & @cocomaxley
Tumblr media
It was Christmas Day. Xander and Aliyah were at the palace visiting. They were at the dining room table with their friends eating lunch. Seven year old Aliyah sat on one side with the younger kids while the older kids sat at the other end.
She giggled while whispering excitedly, “I saw my mom kiss Santa last night!”
Ava's eyes widened, “Omigosh! Lily and I saw our mom kiss Santa too!”
Aurora gasped. "Do you think Santa kisses all the mommies? Just like he eats all the milk and cookies?"
“Sounds like he does,” Lily replied as she scrunched her nose up. “That’s gross.”
Jackson gagged, "gross is right! I'm tryna eat here! I'm gonna go by the olders. I bet they don't talk about kissing. Blech."
He stood up and took his plate to the other side of the room. “The girls keep talking about kissing. Can I sit here?”
Xander raised his brow, “Who is kissing who? Do I even wanna know?”
“And why are they talking about that while eating?” Levi frowned in disgust.
“Somethin’ about them seeing their moms kissing Santa.” Jackson shrugged his shoulders as he resumed eating his lunch.
LJ rolled his eyes. “I can't believe they still believe in Santa.”
Arabella finished her twin’s statement by adding, “seriously, what are they, five?”
The older kids roared with laughter.
Lily yelled, “What's so funny over there?”
Levi replied in a mocking tone, “Mom and Santa sitting in a tree!”
“K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Kennedy sang while Xander, LJ and Arabella made kissing noises.
“I know what I saw!” Aliyah said indignantly. “He was putting the presents under the tree. You know...the ones with the tags that said from Santa? He was making her laugh and she...she kissed him!”
Xander slapped the table laughing, “Where was dad when mom was kissing, Santa? Kids, I tell ya!”
Ava scoffed, “Our mom was sitting on his lap. He was eating the cookies we left for him. She was smiling all big. Then...then…”
Lily finished for her sister, “she kissed him...on the mouth. Just like she does with daddy.”
A resounding “ewwww” filled the dining room.
Their parents were relaxing together in the living room with coffee that may or may not have had alcohol in it. They heard the kids bickering when Genevieve, Anitah, Alicia and Pam said in unison, “Not it!”
The men looked at one another, Drake and Leo shaking their heads. Liam and Rashad stared at each other having a silent argument. Rashad grumbled as he stood up, “Fine…”
“I'll come with you. Safety in numbers.” Liam chuckled.
The kids were still arguing when Lily picked up a strawberry from her plate. She was about to throw it at her older brother until she saw the men enter the room. Liam gave her a look and she quickly shoved the piece of fruit into her mouth.
She flashed Liam a sweet smile, “Hi, daddy!”
Rashad laughed, “Real smooth, Liliana...what's going on in here, Aliyah?”
“Nothing, daddy. We were just talking…” she replied innocently. Rashad leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
Xander cleared his throat, “You might want to talk to mom about what she was doing last night. Aliyah said…” He swallowed, unsure if he should continue. “Tell him, Aliyah…”
She glared at her elder sibling. “Mommy was...daddy, come here.” She pulled him down so she could whisper in his ear. “Mommy kissed Santa last night!”
Rashad’s face turned bright red as he listened to his daughter’s confession. Liam covered his mouth with his hand to hide his smile.
Ava yelled, “And our mommy kissed Santa too!”
Liam choked on his own saliva making him cough. Rashad smacked his back, clearing his throat so he could mask his laughter.
Genevieve and Anitah entered the room. Anitah walked to Liam’s side as he tried to control his coughing fit. “My king, are you ok?”
“Yeah...just...wrong tube…” he managed to say in between coughs.
Rashad told the women the information the girls had just shared with them. Genevieve giggled then whispered in her husband’s ear, “Thank goodness that's all she saw, honey.”

Tumblr media
Anitah stood in her closet changing for an upcoming council meeting where she would be presenting her first solo proposal since becoming Queen. She had presented projects alongside Liam, but this one she took by the reigns and did completely on her own and she was excited about it.
Her plan was to make an expansion on the library down in the capitol to add more to the children’s section and make it more interactive. She had done the research, set the budget, and made all the plans herself and today would be the moment of truth. Liam had gone over her proposal the night before, commenting on how impressed he was by it, telling her what a great idea he thought it was and how well she had done with it.
She stepped from her closet after getting dressed running into Liam as he wrapped his arms around her. “Hello, my love,” he smiled as he leaned down to kiss her. “Are you ready?” He grinned.
“I am,” she smiled. “I’m feeling good about it.”
“As you should. I think it’s going to go really well. I’m going to come...for moral support.”
“Liam, you don’t have to do that. I appreciate it, but...I don’t want them to approve my proposal just because you’re sitting in the room.”
“Nonsense. I’ll just be there for support.”
She smiled and nodded her head. “After the meeting, I’m heading down to the beer garden to meet the girls.”
“Ok. Just take Brad.” Liam looked at his watch. “Alright, my Queen,” he leaned in kissing her again. “Time to shine.”
Once inside for the council meeting, Anitah presented her proposal and then began taking questions afterwards from the other members.
“Is the library expansion really the best use of crown resources?” Neville asked.
Anitah smiled. “There are many areas that would benefit from the resources the crown has to offer, that is true. However, I firmly believe that investing-“
“Lord Neville, I believe that is why we are all here today. To discuss the reasons why the crown is choosing to use resources in this manner.” Liam scoffed as he interrupted Anitah. “Next question please.” Anitah glanced over at him and then back to the others.
“What will be cut if this project gets funded?”
“That is an excellent question, Lord Neville, and one I am certain everyone has on their minds. They way I have arranged to fund this project-“
“There will be no cuts to other active projects Lord Neville, that I can assure you,” Liam jumped in confidently, interrupting Anitah yet again. She shot Liam a look and he smiled at her before she turned her head back to the others taking a breath.
“You have it noted here that you expect that expanding the library will boost testing scores in the local schools. How is that possible?” Adelaide asked.
Anitah pulled her notes out. “There is a great deal of research that shows a direct correlation between reading ability and testing scores. The data goes furth-“
“Anitah, love, I don’t think that it’s necessary to bore the council with unimportant details. The important thing to know here, Adelaide, is that the crown...”
“Liam, I believe that this is my project,” Anitah interjected.
Liam cleared his throat giving the council members a knowing smile. “Of course, my Queen. Let's proceed with the next question then.”
“Why is it necessary for children to have an interactive experience at a library? Can they not just read the books?” Neville sneered.
Anitah went to hand the statistics notes she had to Neville. “Once again, I think it's necessary to look to the vast amount of research that has been done on-“
Liam, yet again, jumped in talking over Anitah, “I believe we are all well versed in recent studies on learning styles, Lord Neville. Researchers have found that children-“
“Liam,” Anitah spoke softly trying to hide her irritation, “I am perfectly capable of answering Lord Neville’s question.”
“Anitah, not now, let the people who know what they’re doing handle this.” She slightly widened her eyes staring at him. “As I was saying, researchers have found that children, especially young children, learn best when having an all encompassing experience that involves several different learning styles, kinesthetic, visual, auditory- to reinforce the information being taught and also to reach children in the way they learn best.”
Once the meeting had ended Anitah grabbed her notes and walked out of the conference room headed to their quarters, seething. Liam noticed her walking out and followed behind her. They walked inside and she plopped her papers down on the table.
“Well, I believe that went quite well.” Liam remarked loosening his tie. “I am confident your proposal will go through,” he smiled.
Anitah turned on her heel to face him, hands on hips. “You...you’re joking right?” She shook her head and walked to the bedroom to change.
“What do you mean, love?” He furrowed his brow in confusion as he followed her.
She slipped off her dress, pulled on some jeans and threw on a shirt, glaring at him, exasperated. “Liam...you completely humiliated me in there!”
Liam shook his head, “I did no such thing.” He moved over toward her, wrapping his arms around her waist. “I merely provided some needed assistance. I know your new to these council meetings, love. And...you’re welcome.” He smiled as he leaned in to kiss his Queen.
Anitah placed her hand on his chest before he could come any further and moved his arms off of her as she stepped back from him. “You wouldn’t even let me answer a question! You interrupted me every single time! And then you have the audacity to tell me to let the people who know what they’re doing handle this?”
Liam rolled his eyes. “I think you're overreacting, Anitah. I was only helping to get your proposal pushed through. That is what you wanted, isn't it?”
“Yes, I wanted it to go through, Liam, but not at the cost of you making it look as though I’m completely incapable of handling anything on my own! Do you not trust that I would have been able to do it myself?”
“Anitah, my love, we all have our role to play. I happen to be quite experienced and skilled at negotiating with my council. And you are an excellent picture of my gorgeous Queen. That's why we're such a great team.”
Anitah stared him, her arms folded across her chest. “So, let me get this straight...” she clicked her tongue before she paused for a moment looking at him. “You’re saying that you and I,” she motioned between the two of them, “are a good team because you can make deals and I just sit there and look pretty?”
Liam smirked, “Well, we each play to our strengths. And you are very good at looking pretty,” he smiled fondly at her.
Her eyes widened for a moment before she closed them, pinching the bridge of her nose. She looked back up at him. “Are...are you fucking kidding me right now, Liam? So my job, as your Queen, as your wife, is to sit on your arm and look pretty...to sit there and make you look good?”
“Well...Anitah, I don't expect you to be able to hold your own with all of the nobles. That's why I'm here.”
She nodded her head as she let out a breath looking down to the ground for a moment. “Wow...well,” she began as she looked back up at him, “I am so glad that my husband, my King, thinks so little of me.” She walked past him and stopped in the doorway. “I’m not a princess, Liam, I don’t need saving. I’m goddamn Queen, with or without you, and I can take care of myself.” She walked out of the room and out of the quarters.
Anitah had Brad take her down to the beer garden to meet the girls, feeling more than irritated and ready for a drink. She walked in and spotted them at a table waving her over.
“Hey! How did your meeting go for the library?” Stephanie asked.
“Don’t ask,” she tossed back a shot and grabbed another from the tray they had sitting there.
“Ok...what’s wrong?” Alicia eyed her.
“Liam is what’s wrong,” she tossed back the second shot.
“What did he do?” Pam asked.
Anitah explained to them about the meeting and how Liam kept interrupting her at every turn and wouldn’t let her speak to answer a question. She then explained to them the conversation that took place afterwards in their quarters before she left to come meet them and what Liam had said to her. They all sat there wide eyed by the time she had finished.
Genevieve slapped her forehead. “Why? Why are boys so stupid? I bet once he said the first dumb thing, he just couldn't stop all the other stupid shit from flying out of his mouth.”
“And here I thought Cordonia was a progressive nation,” Stephanie rolled her eyes. “Him tellin’ you that your job is to make him look good makes me madder than a wet hen.”
“What a dick! Telling you to sit there and look pretty...fuck that!” Alicia shook her head.
“That cocky, arrogant asshole. Who the fuck does he think he is? Did he think he just married a god damned Barbie doll to drag around. I can't believe the fucking nerve of him,” Pam stated.
“I’m just...he always told me how I ‘could do anything’, and how I’m strong, and now I feel like everything he told me was one giant crock of shit!” She tossed back shot number three. “Everything he answered in that meeting were the same damn answers I had! I don’t know why he felt the need to interrupt me and not just let me handle it. He wasn’t even supposed to be there, but he wanted to come for ‘moral support’. Now I know it’s just because he thought I was going to blow it.” She grabbed shot number four and threw it back.
“Seriously, Anitah, he married you and made you his queen because you are smart, strong and quite capable of running this country alongside him. He seems to think he was ‘helping’ you. I just don't think he realizes that you don't need it. So...we will have to show him.” Genevieve giggled as she stood up and curtsied to Anitah. “Well, my Queen, you're more than just a pretty face to me. You have a pretty hot ass too!”
A few hours and one too many shots later the girls were getting ready to head out. Genevieve was waiting for Rashad who was picking all of them up, except for Anitah and Alicia who were supposed to be going back to the palace with Brad. Anitah, however, had other plans on where she was going and that was anywhere but back to the palace. The girls began to laugh as Brad begged the Queen to come out to the SUV, not wanting Liam to go off on him for something happening to her. The ladies sat and laughed as they watched the standoff between the two of them.
Rashad had walked in seeing the ladies standing there staring at Anitah and Brad and walked up behind Genevieve. “Uh, Gen? What’s going on?”
Genevieve turned to see Rashad and smiled as she turned back watching. “Well...Liam is a stupid ass. He basically told her that her only job is to be the trophy wife...so here we are...with a drunk Anitah and a sober Brad who seems to think she's going to listen to him.”
“Ah, yes, I noticed the icy glares she gave him during the council meeting. I knew he was in trouble...Liam had no idea.”
“I am not going back there Brad!” Anitah said from one side of the table as Brad tried to creep around, but she dodged out of the way. “I can take care of myself! You, good sir, can go now! I will be...perfectly fine!” She said as she went stumbling into the table with a giggle. Doug stood behind the bar drying a glass with a towel as he shook his head.
“Ma’am, please,” Brad pleaded. “His majesty will literally kill me if I don’t bring you home, and bring you home in one piece.”
“Oh, didn’t you get the memo? He only cares if I’m pretty! I am not going with you back there to His Royal Pompousness.” Brad reached for her but she dodged out of the way again as the other ladies began laughing at their game of tag as they circled the table.
“Rashad! Do something! She's going to hurt herself,” Genevieve said through a laugh.
Rashad walked up to Brad and stopped him. “Brad, why don't you let me handle this. You're not going to catch her...”
“But...I need to get her back to the palace! King Liam is waiting for her to return.”
“That's not going to happen tonight. I will call Liam and handle him. If you have to come with us fine. But you need to stop chasing her. She's like a damn cat.”
Pam chuckled, “Meowwww!”
Anitah snapped her head over with a wide grin. “Drake is here!” She looked around for him as the girls all began laughing. Brad gave Rashad a nod and motioned his hand for Rashad to make an attempt to corral the Queen as he stepped away.
Rashad turned and flashed Anitah a brilliant smile. “Hey, Anitah,” he softly spoke, “look, Brad is gone. Why don't we sit so Doug doesn't have a heart attack?” He motioned over to the bartender and she looked over to see him glaring. She shot him a smile and a little wave that caused him to blush and sheepishly grin in return.
Anitah turned back to Rashad and eyed him suspiciously from the other side of the table. “I’m gonna be honest, cinnamon roll,” she snorted before tossing back another shot, “I don’t know if I should trust you considering how close you are with my endearing King. I’m not going back to the palace.”
Just then Rashad’s phone rang and he looked at the screen letting out a breath as he rolled his eyes. “Hey, Liam, it's, uh, it’s not a good time...”
“See! You secret spy!” Anitah shouted as the other girls burst into a fit of giggles.
“Rashad? What’s going on? Was that Anitah?” Liam asked on the other end of the phone. He had called knowing Rashad was picking Genevieve up and wanted to see if Anitah was still there. He gathered she was upset with him, but wanted to talk to her once she got back from the beer garden.
“Anitah! I am not a spy!” He put the phone back up to his ear. “Liam, listen to me. Yes it was her, she's fine, but I need to get her out of here. So I'll call you later...but I'm going to take her to Domvallier tonight.”
“Why, what’s going on? Just bring her back to the palace. And where is Brad? Is he not there with her? I’ll kill him if he left her there!”
“Dammit, Liam! They were literally playing tag when I got here. Brad sucks at this game by the way. I will call you later, man.”
“What do you mean playing tag?!”
“For fuck's sake! Gen, take this please!” He threw his phone to Genevieve as he and Anitah began circling the table.
“Liam! Do you ever listen or do you just talk over people all the time? Shut up for one second and listen! Rashad is trying to deescalate this game of tag your Queen is playing. Doug is seriously about to lose his shit. So here's what's gonna happen...your wife is coming home with me tonight. You are not invited to our sleepover. She will call you in the morning when she's crabby and hungover. Ok?”
“Ok,” Liam heavily sighed. “But...is she alright?”
“Your wife is currently running around the bar dodging my boyfriend like a fucking running back, Liam. Ope! He finally caught her. Threw her right over his shoulder,” Genevieve laughed. “Thank the lord!”
“Caught her? Jesus Christ,” Liam let out a heavy sigh.
“This is your fault!” Genevieve hung up the phone.
“Put...me...down, Rashad!” Anitah spoke through giggles. “Right now! Treason! Treason!” Anitah began tickling Rashad’s sides to try and get him to drop her.
Rashad started laughing. “Knock it off, Anitah! I don't want to drop you. That'll be treason. Stop...stop!” The other ladies followed behind them laughing as Anitah continued to tickle him on the way to the SUV.
Anitah woke the next morning with a pounding headache squinting the painful sunlight away. She slowly sat up in the bed and looked around furrowing her brows, still blinking the blurry room into view. She looked around finally realizing she was in Domvallier. She got out of bed and walked down stairs to see Genevieve and Rashad in the kitchen.
“How you feeling, sunshine?” Genevieve giggled as she handed Anitah a cup of coffee and she gave her a sheepish grin.
Rashad pointed to the counter. “There's aspirin and water right there for you,” he smiled. “Your legs probably feel like they ran a marathon,” he chuckled. Just then there was a knock on the door and Rashad stepped out to see who it was. A few moments later he walked back into the kitchen with Liam trailing behind him, Genevieve glaring at him. Anitah turned and saw him, rolling her eyes before she turned back around.
“Good morning.” Liam knew Anitah was upset because he interrupted her during the council meeting, but that was all he thought she was upset about. “Love...can we talk?”
Anitah turned to face him. “Are you sure I look pretty enough for you right now, your majesty? Or should I go freshen up first?” She stared at him for a moment as he looked at her confused. She shook her head and walked past him out of the kitchen, Genevieve following out behind her still staring daggers at Liam.
Liam turned to Rashad raising his hands up in question. Rashad took a breath as he looked at him. “Have a seat...I don't think you’re understanding why she's mad at you.”

   It was a warm spring day, Leo had decided to take advantage of the weather and show her some sights on the coast. They pulled into a small diner on a back road for a little lunch.
  “So I didn't really peg you as a diner guy.” She grinned as they slid into a booth by the window.
  “To be honest, I would rather eat a burger over lobster any day.” he answered handing her a menu. “This is ok, right? Did you want to go someplace more fancy?
  She arched her brow at him “In case you haven't noticed, im probably nothing like those women at court.” she rolled her eyes. “This is perfect.” her reaction bringing a wide grin to his face.
They looked over the menu and ordered. Both getting a burger and fries.
“so tell me more about the mysterious Prince Leo.”
“What do you want to know?” he folded his hands on the table.
“Leo. What's it short for?”
“Oh, ah well. Leonard. My mother would call me Leo when I was small. It kind of stuck.” His eyes darting down to the table.
“Tell me about her. Your mother,  what was she like?”
He hesitated, he never spoke about his mom to anyone.  It had been years since he brought her up. He sat in silence for a few minutes
“Leo?” her voice pulled him from his thoughts.  
“Oh, sorry. My mom? Well, my father chose her during his social season, she was new to court. I was born shortly after they were married.”
He picked up a fry popping it in his mouth.
“Ok, but what was she like? Do you look like her? Did you two have any special things you did together?”
Leo straighten up, feelings he pushed down long ago began to come to the surface.
“She had long brown hair, brown eyes. Her smile was warm and welcoming. She loved me, but she wasn't happy with her life.”
“Leo, i'm sorry I didn't mean to. I didn't know.” she apologized.
“No, its ok. I just. I Haven't spoken about her to, well anyone.” Alicia reached out grabbing his hand, her warm smile calming him immediately.
“she sang me to sleep every night,I remember that. She enjoyed the simple things in life. She left court because she wasn't cut out for this life. Me,being the heir.  she couldn't take me, by law. In a way I guess that's where I get it from.”
“I think those are good memories to have of her. She gave his hand a squeeze.  “Ok. Enough of this. Lets get outta here. I have someplace I think you'll like.” He stood tossing money on the table, grabbing her hand.
After a short drive they pulled into a private beach area.  Alicia's eyes lit up at the sight of the pristine beach in front of her.  The water as blue as Leos eyes, the sand a sparkling white. “Wow. This is. This sort of amazing.”
“You like it?”
“Yeah, I do. It's probably the most beautiful thing I've seen here so far.” she turned towards him smiling. “Well, maybe 2nd most beautiful thing.” she shot him a sly smirk, turning and walking towards the ocean. He chuckled to himself
He closed his eyes, saying an internal prayer. lord help me, I am trying to behave.
He silently groaned tilting his head back. He ran up to her “My family uses this to host the beach party for social season. Docks are that way.” He pointed “That's where we host the Royal Regatta. It was my father's favorite event.” his eyes dropped for a second. “But. That's not what I wanted to show you.” she looked at him inquisitively. He lead her down a trail through a small wooded area, he pulled the brush back as they stood in a clearing, they could hear the roaring waters just up ahead. Alicia's face lit up, her smile reaching eyes as he nodded his head. He walked out first wanting to see her reaction.
She walked out to a beautiful waterfall, the waters so clear you could see to the bottom. The flowers in full bloom on the nice spring day.
She was silent, unable to form words at its natural beauty.  Leo walked up next to her, his hear lowered close to hers “You know, there's a legend about these falls. It starts with two lovers.”
Her eyes met his as he told her about the legend of the falls. “that's so heartbreaking.” she  pouted. “It is but, they say that if two lovers climb to the top and jump in together, they'll get the blessing of the lady of the waterfall.”
“oh really? So what if two people who are not lovers jump in together,  then what?” she challenged him.
“I don't know.” he answered, not really sure of what to say. He rarely had someone have a come back and he wasn't used to this.  
“I see. Well, then that settles it.”  she sighed taking off her shoes and socks. she started unbuttoning her jeans sliding them off her legs.
“wha. What are you doing?”
“come on, don't act shy. Were jumping in.” She motioned towards him.
“What? You seriously want to jump in from up there?” Leo shouted.
“Hell yeah I do. Are you scared or something?”
“No. NO, I just. I'm surprised, most girls would have freaked out at that.” He chuckled as he pulled his shirt over his head, now stripped to his boxers.
Leos eyes ravaged her body.  He had seen her in her bra on a small phone screen, but the real time view was stunning. He let out a low growl under his breath, discreetly adjusting himself.
She stood on the opposite of him, taking in his toned muscular body. She bit her bottom lip, shaking her head trying to break the thoughts. “Ok lets go.”
They climbed to the top, overlooking the drop off.  “So what are we doing here?” He questioned.
“We're testing something." She smirked "Two non- lovers jump in. Since we're just friends we should be safe right?” she looked at him.
“In one theory yes. In another." He paused for a moment, trying to hide the smile tugging on his lips. "We become lovers.”  he smirked.
“Well,  I guess we will have to test this out then, since. Since it'll never happen.” She gave him a playful look as she grabbed his hand. “One. Two. Threee!” She shouted as they leapt over the edge plunging into the water. They bobbed up laughing hysterically as he dunked under water tickling her sides. “Ahhh. Leo!” she screamed, laughing afterwards. He  emerged and she splashed him “Oh you're gonna pay.” he dove at her, tackling her into the water. She squealed and laughed as they wrestled.
He grabbed her by the waist pulling her into him, she put her arm around his neck pretending to put him in a headlock “Alight, alright. You win.” she dropped her arm hooking it around his neck, bringing the other over as they locked eyes. They slowly moved in, lips inches from each others when the loud ringing of a phone pulled them from the moment. “We should probably get that.” she unlocked her arms from his neck making her way the the shore, leo following after.  They checked their phones it was Liam for Leo. He called him back
“what's up Liam? No, I am not coming to dinner tonight. Regina can not call a family dinner on a non-family dinner night. You know I hate lamb. Well, tell Regina I already had plans. What noise? Don't worry about where I am. Goodbye Liam.”
Leo tossed his phone onto his clothes. “its hilarious when you and Liam bicker, and i've only seen it once.” she giggled.
“ so, you're not going to dinner with your family?” He looked at her a cocky grin spread across his lips “Nope, we are going out.”
“We are? Where to?”
“I know a good place, its a bar a few towns from the palace. They have excellent food.”
They put their clothes back on heading back to the palace for another shower and change. They quietly crept through the halls, avoiding running into Regina. They were almost in the clear when they heard “Leo?” Leo grabbed her hand once they rounded the corner they ran into the garage. Leo handed her a helmet here. “What. What's this for Leo?” she stuttered.
“Were taking the bike. Have you ever been on the back of a bike?” she shook her head no.
“Ok, It'll be fine, just hold onto me and move with me ok. Seriously we gotta go. Now. Or Madeleine's gonna catch up.”
She put the helmet on and climbed onto the back of the bike. He started it up as Madeline came through the garage door and they speed off. Madeline watched as he pulled away with Alicia on the back. She did not know who it was, she huffed turning around and going back in.
They zipped through the roads, everything a blur but the rush was amazing.  Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, her body pressed against his back. Leo couldn't help but smile, that almost kiss playing through his mind. Fucking Liam, had to ruin the moment. It was probably a good thing, he thought.  He was trying to behave, he told himself he wanted to be her friend, but the more he got to know her, the more he wanted to pursue her. In that moment he decided to follow her lead, if she made a move or gave off signs she wanted him to do something, then he would.
They pulled into a small bar, it did not look nearly as upscale or crowded as the one Anitah and her went to in the capital. They walked inside,  “let's grab a booth and then I'll get some drinks.” they got settled into a booth he found out what she wanted and he approached the bar. “Leo, haven't seen you in a while, where you been?” the bartender shook his hand. “Yeah, I've been in Santorini for a while. How you been Doug?”
“Oh, can't complain. So what can I get you?”
“I'll have a beer and I need a Malibu bay breeze.” Doug eyed him, “since when do you drink fruity shit?”
“I don't. Its for my friend.”
“You've been here all of 5 minutes and already have a friend?” he grinned shaking his head as he worked on the drink. “I brought her with me smart ass.”
He grabbed the drinks and headed back to the booth. “Sorry, the bartender was giving me shit.” he chuckled.
They sat around talking and joking. Leo not wanting to drink a lot since he was on the bike and driving.
“I don't get it. How do you not have a girlfriend? You are an amazing guy, funny, smart, charismatic, thoughtful, hot…” she blushed at the last word.
“You know, you keep telling me im hot, you're going to give me a complex.” he chuckled.
“Im serious Leo.”
“I don't know. I don't really know why I guess. It's just not something I ever worried about.” He took a sip of his beer.  “It was decided for me that I was to marry Madeline. We got engaged, Regina picked the ring, I wanted no part. I handed her the box and walked away.”
“Wow, that's rough.”
“She didn't care about the ring, or me really. She cared about the crown. I guess at some point she became clingy, she was convenient.” he grimaced at the words. “Wow, that sounded really shitty.”
“It sounds like the whole situation was just one fucked up mess.”
“It was. I'm not going to lie to you, I have had my fair share of women. Mostly one night stands. I haven't been with a woman more than twice before I move on. The only person I have been with multiple times, was Madeline.”
“But isn't that lonely?”
“Maybe? I guess I never really thought about it that way. Whenever a woman finds out who I really am. They change. They get caught up in the what ifs of the glitz and glamorous life.” He sighed. “I dont think ive ever told anyone this before. What is it with you? I feel like i can tell you anything and you won't judge me.”
“ well, that's because I won't. I think you're a really great guy Leo.” she reached over grabbing his hand. He scooted forward “you amaze me you know that. I  have never met anyone like you. You are smart, funny, fearless, fierce, beautiful.” a familiar feeling washed over both of them, their lips inches apart again, her eyes locked with his and then, her phone rang, pulling them from the moment again. Leo dropped his head and chuckled.
“Sorry, I should probably take this.” She got up and stepped outside. Leo sat there lost in thought.  Twice they almost kissed, twice they were interrupted by phone calls. He wanted to kiss her, but he didn't want to because he wanted to jump into bed with her. He wanted to get to know her, everything about her. He felt a connection with her, he couldn't explain it, and it scared the hell out of him. They had only known each other a few days, but she definitely had all of his attention.
“everything ok?” He asked as she slid back into the booth.  “Yeah it was my mom, she had a question about and order we got at the bakery.”
“Oh, so you work with your mom? I am an asshole, I never thought to ask what you did for a living.”
“its ok. I am a pastry chef by choice. I did not like the environment in a restaurant kitchen, baking was always my nirvana.”
“You're a chef? That's amazing.”
“when I graduated from culinary school, I went to work in one of the fancy restaurants in NYC as a sous chef. I hated it. My mom offered to make me partner at the bakery and I accepted.”
“wow, that's amazing Alicia. I can imagine you are good at what you do. Maybe you'll cook for me once?” Leo smirked as they walked out the door to the bike. “Maybe.. if you play your cards right.” She winked at him. His willpower was quickly crumbling. He knew he promised Liam but she was making it very hard.  
They drove back to the palace, her arms still wrapped tightly around his waist. She could feel the ripples of his muscles through his shirt. The thoughts that ran through her head she knew she shouldn't be having. She was leaving in two months, and she was not one for a one night stand. They pulled into the garage, parking the bike and putting the helmets up. Leo walked her to her room. They stood in front of her door “Thanks for today, I had a really great time.” she hugged him. “so did I. There is more I would like to show you, that is of you want.”
“Of course. that would be great. Thank you Leo, really you have been amazing.”
She stood against the door. An awkward quiet settled over them. Their eyes locked, she bit her lower lip, hoping he would make a move because she was to scared to. When finally he leaned in pressing his lips to hers. His tongue tracing a line between her lips, her hands flew around his neck as she melted into the kiss. Their tongues dancing together in perfect harmony. They pulled apart as he rested his forehead against hers. “Good night Leo.” she breathed out. “Good night Alicia.”
Alicia closed the door behind her, her back against it as she slid down onto the floor in shock.  She touched her hand to her lips, that kiss.
Leo wore a wide grin his entire walk back to his quarters. He kissed her, he finally kissed her. Those lips, that kiss.  It was everything he hoped for and more. It was perfect, it was almost like a spark ignited between them.
But it left more questions for him. What happens now?
