“I wanted to say at the very least that your concerns about exclusivity… there should be no concern at all.”
I blushed. “I am sorry to have brought it up when we’re not even… anything.”
“If I had it my way, Eloise, we’d be a lot more than nothing, but your concerns are valid.”
The way he looked at me melted my heart and sent it racing. Because this was no joke. We could laugh about things all we wanted but he was staring at me the way you do someone you want to spend all your days with.
“I am a serial monogamist, Ella. That’s all I’m trying to say. And maybe you don’t want to label whatever the hell this is but I’m not about to go run off with anyone else.”
I nodded. “Okay.”
“I will behave myself. Promise,” Duncan said. “All joking aside. I know that getting found out means bigger things for you than for me, Ella. I also know that you make me so very happy and I am willing to do whatever I can to keep you around.”
“Thanks,” I said. “I’m willing to give it a shot. I’m glad that’s not a deal breaker.”

TheDaily Timesis following The Prince of Wales along on his North American tour. This first week, he has spent most of his time in Vancouver. He visited with veterans, helped local officials open an aboriginal arts and culture center, and ate pancakes with school children. The latter part was credited with the stimulation of ovaries across the American continent entirely.
Overall, he has been doing very well. His approval ratings are the best they’d been in years. The next week, he will span the Canadian Prairies—the flyover country in its middle—and then he will be back to Toronto for a few days. Stay tuned for all the updates!
“Fuck!” Ella moaned. “Fuck!”
She was cumming and I was relieved because time ran late. I visited her room at the arsecrack of dawn after a morning swim. I still had to shower, shave, and change. But it’d been more than twenty-four hours since I had her—too long.
She dug her nails into my back and bit my chest as I thrusted. I was so close. I’d go any moment.
“Duncan, fuck! Don’t stop!” She panted.
I came once she said my name, holding on until I knew her orgasm had tapped her out. I didn’t want to leave her tight center. She lay beneath me, looking up with her big blue eyes, totally satisfied. It was the best thing. I smiled.
She smacked my bum. “You don’t get to smile like that at me. Don’t tell yourself you’re some sort of miracle man. Remember, I’m fully capable of doing the same on my own. You justoffered.”
“Uh-huh.” I kissed her.
“Tell yourself you are special then. The entire world does.”
“Because Iam,darling,” I joked.
I left the bed, trying to clean up best I could. I wanted to look like I just finished a workout.
“I need to get my shit together,” Ella remarked.
“Wear the red dress,” I said. “That one is… it will raise everyone’s spirits.”
“Uh-huh.” She glared.
“You’re gonna do what you’re gonna do aren’t you?” I snickered.
“I always do, Duncan. Why stop now? Go get dressed, Your Royal Highness.”
