Part 24 ~Dirty little Secret~
Shandy and Devin sat going through the large book of the royals ancestry, yet neither could focus very well after what had just happened between them only hours ago.
"We have to talk." Shandy spoke up, closing the old treatise & sitting it on the table in front of her. She looked at him biting the edge of her lip anxiously.
"Ok...but I thought we were not gonna talk about it at all. Kinda like it never happened." He raised his eyes to meet hers. Of course he could not forget it, and had promised it would go no further than just a one time thing...even though they had gone two more times after 'the one time.'
It was stuck in his brain, touching her....feeling her...tasting her sweetness and hearing her cries of pleasure as he rocked her over & over again. It kept playing on repeat inside his head.
He wanted to own her heart....yet he knew she didn't feel the same for him, he couldn't help the feelings that were beginning to sprout to life inside him for this beautiful, sweet, caring girl.
Donovan did not deserve someone as kind as she. He fucking despised his brother for having a hold on her heart.
"We don't have to talk about it.....ok Shandy. It was a one time thing. Let's just forget about it.....ok." Devin replied, picking up the book and opening it to the unions & bonding chapters.
"Can we take a walk or something? Please? I need to get outta this room for a while." Shandy asked, throwing her head back on the couch blowing out a puff of air.
Devin carefully laid the book back down and stood reaching out for her hand.
"Come, I'll take you to the inside gardens....you'll love that. It's a very beautiful place and it's peaceful." He smiled sweetly.
"Ok...yes! That sounds amazing!" Shandy exclaimed, smiling brightly and jumped up from her seat wrapping her arms around him. Her lips met his as he held her extending the kiss that she did not refuse.
He loved her excitement, God she was so ravishing. He wished she felt as strongly for him as he did her.

Donovan woke up on the small chaise lounge inside Jayzons room, a bottle of vodka sitting between his thighs. His head banging like someone had slammed it into a brick wall repeatedly.
Jayzon was sprawled out across his bed with half his ass hanging outta the silky pj bottoms he wore. Donovan made a face as if he'd gotten a mouthful of lemon juice, at the sight of his brother's bubble ass shining.
He stood up slowly. His head started spinning so badly he fell back down in the chair, closing his eyes and holding his hands over them to try and stop the whirling motions he was feeling.
"How damn much did I drink!? Holy mother of the Gods, help me through this hideous pain." He whimpered out in a deep fried crackling morning voice.
He finally managed to pull himself up and stumble outta his brother's chambers. He held to the wall as he made his way to his own bedroom. Donovan staggered sideways into his bathroom.
He turned on the water, stripped, stepped inside and stood underneath the warmth rushing over his sickly body as he leaned against the tiled wall to keep from falling over sideways. It felt good, except for the rumble inside his belly, as he began to feel as though he would hurl any second.
He hastily pushed the shower doors open rushing out for the toilet, slipping and busting his naked ass along the way. He cursed, barely making it to the toilet as he spewed out all the contents left in his gut from last night's brotherly drink fest.
The bitter taste caused him to keep gagging. He vomited till his stomach felt like it had been wrung out like an old used dishrag.
He pushed himself up, rubbing his reddened bum from the hard fall and managed to finish his shower. He stepped out carefully, wrapping himself in a fluffy robe.
He wiped the fogged up mirror looking at his swollen eyes. "What the fuck!....Why are my damn eyes so swollen? Ohh fuck! Did I cry in front of Jayzon?" He remembered talking about Shandy and how much she meant to him and how he'd never felt so strongly for any female as he did for her.
Hell yes he did cry! Like a big fucking baby! He groaned at the foggy memory of the drunken sobs while in his younger brother's presence.
He held a cool wash rag over his eyes trying to get the puffiness relieved a bit. "Shandy....I've gotta find her, '' he replied to his reflection. He called for a couple aspirin and something for the hangover. He finally got himself dressed hearing a light peck on his door.
"Thank you." he replied courteously to the butler. The old man looked shocked that Donovan had actually thanked him...instead of being his usual smug entitled self.
"Yes sir." The old man answered, his eyes wide as he walked away.
Donovan drank the vegetable juice causing him to make a horrible face as he chugged it down quickly, swallowing the two aspirin along with it. He sat with his head laid back, an icepack covering his forehead and eyes as he waited for the aspirin to kick in along with the nasty tasting drink he'd forced down to ease his tummy issues.
After an hour he began to feel a tad better and stood rolling his head around slowly. He had to go and find Shandy...he had to talk to her....let her know how much he loved her and about the girl she had heard him talking to the day before.
He had to make her believe that the girl meant absolutely nothing to him and he had only felt guilty for making her cry, which was why he'd said what he did to her, which was a damn mistake... in fact he didn't even understand why the hell he gave a fuck all the sudden about these females and their feelings....but for some reason, he did now.
He groaned, puffing with aggravation at how Shandy had turned him into a big pile of marshmallow fluff, however she thought he was a big pile of something else right now.
Devin was trying to take her away from him, and he couldn't let that shit happen. Even though his little brother would have undoubtedly been a much better match for her, he wasn't a womanizer, he believed in love and treating a woman with respect and tenderness. Something Donovan had never done....until She came along changing his cold heart completely.
For the first time ever in his privileged life Donovan felt real love and he couldn't let it go so easily. She was his...made to be his perfect match...not Devins.
No way in hell could he allow his baby brother to win over his betrothed!...even though he knew what had happened to Devin years ago had destroyed him. He tried over and over again to tell him the girl never loved him, she had been after Donovan all along and he didn't feel the same for her. Devin called him a liar and said he was just jealous. He couldn't let it go any further and he did a horrible thing by letting his little brother walk in on them, so he'd see for himself that she was using him. He hadn't even had sex with her at all...he just didn't wanna see his little brother get used by the girl.
Donovan never imagined the girl would take her own life and he lived with the guilt of that. Of course he and Devins relationship was never the same. They simply coexisted, he could see the hate his little brother held for him and he was afraid that he would go out of his way to destroy his love for Shandy, and any she may have for him.
Donovan got dressed and walked outta his room up to Devins door, he knocked and called out, but got no reply. He turned the handle, sucking in a deep breath afraid of what he may actually find. No one was there.
He walked rapidly down the long corridor, a relief washing over him that he hadn't been faced with the two wrapped up together in bed.
30 minutes later he still hadn't found her. He was beginning to grow worried of her whereabouts. He couldn't sense her anywhere....which only heightened his fear, because that meant Devin was covering her...which ultimately meant....they of course were together.
Blind rage surged through his body at the thought of his little brother touching her. Maybe he had kissed her…fucked her. His breathing became erratic at the thought.
He started yelling out her name as it resounded throughout the castle. Suddenly he felt a strong hand gripping his shoulder causing him to flinch and stop dead in his tracks
"Son...you must calm yourself. If Shandy truly loves you...it will not fade away so easily." His father, the king, replied in a deep serious tone.
"But father I...I can not find her anywhere, I know she is being hidden by Devin! He wants her father! And I know he'll stop at nothing to....to possess her." Donovan's voice wavered. "I ca...can't lose her father....I....I truly Love her and I feel as though I'm going insane!" His voice trembled with fear.
"Son......this young lady loves you...but right now she is confused about your life before she came. You must explain to her with care what she means to you and how your past has no bearing on your future with her." The King explained staring at his son with a loving expression.
"You know the right words to use my son. Answer her honestly, truthfully, and you will not fail. And remember....always speak using this." The king patted the spot over his son's heart.
"It is clear to see that you Love her and she Loves you just as much....I know this to be a fact." Donovan's father gave him a wink. "I believe you will find her in the gardens son...but be mindful of how you approach her." The King warned as he walked away.
