The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid

Chapter 331: Shower Together

“Thank you. Thank you for buying her and saving her in the process. I...honestly cannot thank you enough for this,” I thanked him profusely as I pressed a hand against my rapidly beating heart.

“Don’t worry about it, Mila. I didn’t do it for your thanks,” he replied casually.

“Still, I need to thank you properly...” I argued before drifting off into silence.

There were just so many things that I wanted to ask him that I didn’t know where to start. Everything felt like a mess, and I wasn’t sure where to start to make sense of everything. At that moment, it felt more than enough and too good to be true that we could save Sally. Although I didn’t know what would happen to her now, I was sure that the prince would keep her safe. At least she wouldn’t be sold into something bad.

“Are you tired? You should rest,” the prince said as he got up from the sofa.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t tired. In fact, with all the travelling and everything that had happened, I was both physically and emotionally tired. All the anxiousness, fear, and nervousness that I felt and all the tears that I’ve cried made me feel drained of energy. However, before I could stop myself my hands had already moved to grab a hold onto the prince’s arm.

“Wait...” I whispered.

Prince Leonard turned back toward me with a questioning look on his face. That was when I realized that I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted from him. I just didn’t want us to be apart and the prince moving away from me even just a little made me feel anxious.

“What is it?” the prince asked.

“Can you...stay with me?” I requested in a small voice.

After all that had happened, I found that I still felt quite shaken. Being alone made me feel uneasy inside for reasons that I couldn’t logically explain. Although I knew that I was no longer at the auction site and that nothing bad was going to happen to me or to Sally, I still felt scared to be alone. Prince Leonard looked at me for a moment in silence before his lips curved into a warm and beautiful smile.

“I want to take a shower. Shall we do it together?” he suggested with a sweet smile.

“Shower...together?” I mumbled in surprise as I wondered if I had heard him correctly.

“That’s right. I want to take a shower and you want to stay with me so we should just take a shower together. How does that sound?” the prince proposed with a bright smile.

“That’s...” I murmured as I started to feel embarrassed at his abrupt and forward suggestion.

“Come along,” Prince Leonard said as he grabbed onto one of my wrists.

“Umm...” I murmured in protest.

It didn’t seem like I could change the prince’s mind now that it’s made up. It lightened my mood somewhat to see the prince suddenly look so energized. The way he smiled at me as he tugged on my arm for me to follow him toward the bathroom made my heart race faster in my chest.

...

“Is the temperature about right?” Prince Leonard asked as he watched me standing beneath the water raining down from the shower.

The water falling down onto my body felt nice and warm; however, standing naked in the shower with the prince made me feel so exposed. I didn’t know which part of my body I should cover up first to escape from his hungry gaze that seemed to travel all over my body. My hands covered my breasts as I tried to turn my body away to hide as much as possible from his watchful gaze.

“Does it feel nice and warm?” he asked again before he smiled at me.

“Yes...” I murmured my reply as I felt my face heating up.

My entire body felt so hot as I stood under the water and under his intense gaze. Although I knew that something was bound to happen between the prince and me during the trip, I didn’t think that we would end up in the shower together. Then again, so many unexpected things happened during the trip that I no longer knew what to expect anymore.

“Let me help you clean up. You must have been so scared and upset today...and it’s pretty much my fault...” he said as he reached a hand toward my mid-section.

“It’s not your fault...Ahh...” I quickly corrected him before I heard myself letting out a soft moan.

The touch of his fingers against the side of my waist almost made me jump. It felt so good to feel his fingers tracing along the sensitive skin covering the plain of my stomach. My breathing became labored as my core clenched and tightened as his fingertips continued tracing lines up and down my belly. Prince Leonard smiled like he was pleased and that only made my core throb as desire welled up inside of me.

“Your skin is so fine, Mila...” he complimented me in a seductive whisper.

My entire body trembled at his words and then another moan escaped from my lips when he began massaging my waist and then the small of my back with both of his hands. I was so aware of how close the prince was standing right in front of me with his arms around my body and also of the fact that we were both stark naked. The prince’s body was so beautiful that I didn’t dare stare at it directly. Looking at his muscular body made my heart race dangerously in my chest. The swelling sense of need that stirred up inside my lower abdomen quickly spread to become an almost unbearable ache in between my legs.

“Ahhh...Prince...” I moaned before closing my eyes to enjoy the bliss of feeling his hands travelling up my back.

“Stop covering your breasts...” he instructed in an inviting whisper.

His hands travelled to the front of my body and began peeling my hands away from my heaving breasts.
