Crown Of Hearts Novel – an idea “Your…highness?” Alexander’s deep and low voice sounded within the dark corridors that lead to the crown prince’s private chambers. The prince that was walking before him had suddenly stopped moving and he stood still. “Prince Damon?” He repeated, this time calling him by his name.
It was something he was told to do when they were alone. “I feel hot…” Came Damon’s bothered voice as he tugged at his shirt, trying to unbutton the cloth that made him feel uncomfortable. “Your highness, you cannot remove your clothes right now.” Alexander, noted his voice stern but the man paid him no attention as he unbuttoned his white shirt and removed it to reveal his toned and lean torso. Alex had seen plenty of male upper bodies during his time at the war camp but he found himself averting his gaze, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
This man’s body was less muscular and appeared to give him an agile and nearly predatory look. Maybe the light alcohol he had been argued to consume was messing with his head. He wasn’t one to notice such details on another man’s body. Alex coughed lightly in an attempt to discard the uncomfortable feeling in his gut. “May we continue the journey to your chambers, your highness?” He asked, his tone calm when he felt the weight of his prince’s stare.

Yes, he wanted to have this man, claim him too but he did not seem to be interested in him. At least not in the way he wanted, Damon was certain but he wanted him and tonight, he was going to seduce him after two long weeks of discovering his feelings. Damon had been surprised when he got a new knight to guard him a month back. He had insisted to have his old knight back but Clara was of age and she was ready to move on and get married.
They had been friends and he was quite unhappy to see her go. Damon had thought of having a word with his father but his mind was instantly changed once he saw this man. Strong, intelligent, confident…oh and good looking too. Damon was convinced enough and let him stay. They had grown quite comfortable with each other’s company but Alexander still kept quite a distance from him. Damon trusted his looks to sway both men and women but this man had never looked at him longer than necessary. Maybe he was indeed immune to his magnetic charm.
With a soft sigh, he stopped moving and turned the door knob to his bedroom. He briefly glanced back at Alexander wh
