Stepbrother Prince : Cinderella Made Smutty

by Marian Tee

  “Say something,” he rasped out.

  “Umm…I…” My mind was a blank, and I said the first thing that came to me. “Today, umm, I was working, and…”

  The prince’s lips compressed in a straight line, and I suddenly had a feeling he was doing his best to suppress his laughter.

  “What do you want me to say?” I cried out.

  He glanced at the guards. “Leave us for a moment.” They bowed stiffly at his words and descended the stairs without a word. When they were gone, the prince gazed at me under hooded lids, and God, what it did to my body!

  What he had done to me in the dining hall had already left me aching, but with him looking at me like that, the aching turned into a deep, painful throb that had me breathless and unable to stand still.

  “Prince…”

  “What were you saying again earlier?” Even though I knew he was teasing me, the seductive purr of the prince’s voice still made me throb even harder. “You were working…”

  “And…” I couldn’t think straight, not with the prince inching closer, forcing me backwards until I was pressed against the wall.

  “And?” he prompted huskily.

  “Why are we even talking about this?” I asked helplessly.

  “Because…” His eyes gleamed in cruel amusement as he murmured, “I like seeing you rattled, and I like it even more, knowing I’m the cause of it.” He raised a hand, and I watched with bated breath as he reached for a curl of my hair.

  My heat slammed against my throat.

  He twirled the lock of hair around his finger. “If you can remember to tell me what happened to your day, I’ll reward you.” And then he smiled, a toe-curling smile that promised me the most forbidden pleasure.

  Oh.

  I stammered, “I went to school…and w-while I was there, I r-received a visit…” I was so desperately focused on recalling what I busied myself with the whole time we were apart that I didn’t notice the way the prince’s gaze narrowed. “The teacher called me out, and it was a representative of Prince Michael. He had sent me a g-gift---”

  The prince suddenly tore himself away from me.

  Shocked, I found his gaze an arctic shade of blue, and there was no warmth in the prince’s handsome face as he bit out, “Good night, milady.”

  Shock rendered me immobile.

  What happened? What did I say? What did I do?

  Recovering myself, I ran after him, feet flying over the steps and I managed to catch hold of the prince’s sleeve just before he reached the next flight of stairs.

  He stilled at my touch.

  “Your Highness---” Suddenly, I couldn’t think of what to say.

  The prince said coldly, “If you do not have anything to say then please let go of my sleeve.”

  Tears pricked my eyes. “Why are you like this?” I demanded in a hurt whisper. “I don’t understand what you want.”

  The prince’s head snapped towards me, and his voice was savage as he answered, “I could say the same of you.”

  Humiliation flooded inside of me when he took hold of my hand and forced my fingers to let go. “Again, good night, milady.”

  This time I didn’t stop him from leaving.

  The Car Ride

  The next day, I found out the prince was leaving again. He would be gone for another week. Luke, the prince’s assistant, informed me of this over breakfast, adding that the prince had instructed Luke to be at my beck and call while he was away.

  The whole time Luke spoke, I could only gaze at the empty seat next to me. Seven days, I kept thinking. Seven days of not being able to see the prince, seven days of not being able to share meals with him, seven days of not feeling his lips on mine.

  And that’s fine, I told myself. The prince was an asshole, and I should just use this time to teach myself to be immune him.

  Or at least that was the plan until I stepped inside the limousine that would take me to school and found the prince seated inside.

  The door slammed shut behind me, and the limousine was already moving when I found my voice and demanded, “What are you doing here?”

  “Your school is on the way to the airport. It would be more economic if we shared a ride, don’t you think?”

  My jaw dropped. Who did he think he was fooling? If he cared about the environment that much, then he would have allowed me to drive my old compact car to school rather than ride this gas-guzzling monster every day.

  When I didn’t answer, the prince asked, “Luke told you I’d be gone for a week?”

  I nodded, staring stubbornly at the scenery outside the window. Although the kingdom was in the middle of the desert, much of it had been urbanized, creating a modern paradise on sand.

  “You will miss me, of course,” the prince murmured mockingly.

  What? Unable to stand the sheer arrogance of the words, I turned towards him, glaring. “You wish!”

  “Finally, you look at me.” The prince’s lips curved into a smile.

  I didn’t smile back.

  The prince sighed. “Surely, you’re not sulking?”

  My teeth gnashed in outrage at his words. “I’m not sulking,” I bit out. “I just don’t want to play your games, the way you blow hot and cold---”

  The prince’s smile disappeared and he hissed, “As if you are not the same.”

  “We’re not!”

  “Then what were you doing,” the prince gritted out, “receiving a gift from another man?”

  My eyes widened.

  That was what this – what last night – was all about?

  “In our kingdom,” the prince said stiffly, “it is not appropriate for a woman to receive any gift from a man. If you accept such a gift, it is equivalent to expressing interest in him.”

  I bit my lip. Hard.

  “You are not going to say anything?” the prince charged.

  I looked at him. “And you, Your Highness?” I couldn’t help asking. “Why don’t you just tell me straight?”

  He stilled.

  I knew I should shut up, but I couldn’t. Suddenly, I was tired, unable to take the way we seemed to keep skirting around the truth. Maybe I was just too young and I couldn’t understand how adults played this game. Maybe I was reading too much in nothing. So many maybes, but I knew that the only way to find out the truth was to speak the truth, too.

  I looked straight into the prince’s eyes, and this time I didn’t try to hide anything from him. I let him see everything, the confusion, the pain…the longing.

  He was my stepbrother. He was the prince. He was not right for me for so many reasons. I knew that, but I couldn’t help the way I feel.

  The prince drew his breath sharply. “Ella---”

  It was the first time he had ever said my name without any formal title, and a bittersweet feeling swept over me at hearing him say it. Why did he have to say it now?

  I asked painfully, “Why can’t you tell me, Your Highness? Why can’t you tell me you’re jealous?”

  Tense silence thrummed between us.

  My head bowed as I waited for him to speak. The silence lengthened, and my body started to shake. Let it not end like this again, I prayed. Dear Lord, please.

  And then I heard it.

  The prince’s voice, low and rough, as he bit out, “I’m sorry.”

  My head jerked up.

  His intense gaze captured mine, and his voice became fiercer. “And you’re right. I am jealous.”

  Tears stung my eyes.

  “I have no right to be, I am wrong to feel this way, but I was, I am, and I will always be fucking jealous where you – ukhayyah – are concerned.”

  For one moment all I could do was stare at him. It just didn’t feel true that he had said the words.

  And he seemed to know that for the prince, his eyes still holding mine, said calmly, “You are mine, Lady Ella.”

  Oh.

  Through tear blurry eyes, I managed a shaky smile as I mumbled, “Understood, Your Highness.”
<
br />   “If it is fine with you…” The prince paused. “We will speak of this when I return. If we talk about it now, it will only serve to distract me throughout the week.”

  I nodded. In the mood I was in, I’d have agreed to anything.

  Also…

  The prince considered me a distraction. Me – an ordinary small-town girl – was a distraction to the prince!

  My toes curled at the thought.

  “I do have one request.” When I gazed at him questioningly, his face remained unsmiling, his voice hard as he said, “When I’m gone, I need you to promise me one thing.”

  “What is it?”

  “You must not have anything to do with Prince Michael.”

  The old, obedient Ella would have said yes without hesitation. But the new Ella, the monstrously contrary Ella that I became when I was with the prince, that Ella looked up at him with pursed lips, a thoughtful look on her face as she asked, “What do I get in return?”

  The prince’s brows lifted in surprise at the provocative question. A moment later, his lips slowly curved into the sexiest smile.

  Ooooooh. Every part of me melted at that smile.

  “Come.” The prince purred the word out, and my body melted even more. “If you come here, I shall give you a present in exchange of your promise.”

  “A p-present?” I was melting, melting into a pool of aching need at the forbidden, thrilling promise in the prince’s intense gaze.

  “But you have to be on your knees.”

  “On my knees?” I felt so dumb at repeating his words but I couldn’t help it. Everything was so terribly new and exciting to me.

  The prince’s lips curved as he affirmed, “On your knees.”

  “What kind of present would that be?” I blurted out.

  “You have to ask, ukhayyah?” the prince drawled, wide-eyed in mock amazement.

  Oh.

  My face turned red as I realized it was that kind of present he’d be giving me.

  The prince was shaking his head. “Perhaps you need me to spell it out.”

  The words alarmed me. “Umm, actually---”

  “Very well then.” The prince’s eyes gleamed. “My present for you, milady, is the pleasure of sucking on my cock.”

  Oh. My. God.

  Sexiest. Words. Ever.

  I knew I should be offended, maybe even frightened or disgusted by the offer.

  But I wasn’t.

  How could I be offended when he only knew and spoke the truth?

  Sucking his cock would be a pleasure.

  Sucking the prince’s cock – my stepbrother’s cock – would be the very best present.

  Again, the prince spoke, his voice a silky command. “On your knees, milady.”

  I sank to my knees, trembling with both fear and excitement.

  “Now, come closer.”

  Still on my knees, I moved towards him until I was once again between the prince’s muscular thighs.

  The prince started stroking my hair and I shivered with pleasure at his touch. His fingers drifted down, cupping my face, and I rubbed my face against his palm instinctively.

  Oh, the feel of his hand on my face.

  Hot and sublime, tender and seductive…I couldn’t get enough of it.

  “You want this?”

  “Yes, Your Highness.”

  “Good girl.” The prince took his hand away. “Now, ukhayyah, unzip me.”

  Swallowing, I nervously reached for the zipper of his pants. I pulled it down, the task made more difficult by my fumbling fingers.

  When the zip was completely down, the prince said, “Pull out my cock.”

  I stilled.

  “It won’t bite.” The prince’s voice was dryly amused.

  Wouldn’t it? I wasn’t sure I believed him.

  As if sensing my need for more guidance, the prince gripped his cock with one hand. His other hand went to my head, his fingers digging into my hair. Slowly, he guided my head down, and my heart beat harder and harder against my chest as I found myself getting closer and closer---

  “Open your mouth, ukhayyah.”

  My lips parted.

  His cock slipped in.

  The head of his cock was enormous, forcing my lips to part wider. The prince pushed his cock forward another inch, and my mouth was now stretched wide open.

  “Ready?” the prince grated out over my head.

  At my nod, he pushed his cock further, slowly but steadily. “Relax your throat,” the prince commanded when he was halfway in and I fought to follow his words. I didn’t know how to relax my throat exactly but I seemed to have done it right because the next thing I knew, his cock was all the way in.

  Above me, the prince groaned.

  The sound had me so wet and aching that without a thought, I started sucking. The prince stiffened and when I continued to suck, harder and longer, starting with the enormous head of his cock, the prince let out another groan just before he released his cock to clasp my head with both hands.

  He guided me patiently, teaching me without words how to pleasure him. I followed him eagerly, and with every stroke of my tongue on his cock, I was rewarded by the prince’s groans and the shudders that racked his body.

  The taste of his cock was salty and addictive. I had never thought I’d like the taste of a man’s cock, but I did. At least I liked the taste of his, the prince’s…my stepbrother’s cock---

  The thought had my head reeling, and I sucked harder.

  “Ella.” His fingers gripped my head, and suddenly he was moving faster. This time, there was no finesse at all with the way he moved, with the way he fucked my mouth, and oh God, I no longer cared if this made me sound sick but I liked it. I liked that my stepbrother prince was out of control and it was all because of me, all because of what my mouth did to his cock.

  Sucking as hard as I could, I also started moving my hands, relying entirely on my feminine instincts as I sought a way to drive him out of his mind. I reached for his balls and squeezed.

  The prince jerked.

  I squeezed harder then stroked it, timing my caress with the strokes of my tongue on his cock.

  “Ella.” The prince suddenly tried to pull away and I held on to him tightly, realizing that he was about to come.

  “Ella, dammit---”

  But I held on to him, and a second later it was too late.

  With a harsh groan, the prince came in my mouth. Strong hard spurts of come ejected into my throat, accompanied by the wild thrusts of his hips, his cock nearly hitting the back of my throat.

  I tried to suck it all in, but he was coming so hard that in the end, some of it started to spill from the corners of my mouth.

  I released him only when the last come had spilled out of his cock, and as I licked the corner of my lips dry, I lifted my gaze to him---

  Oooooh.

  I shook on my knees as I saw the emotions swirling in the prince gaze while he stared at me.

  You are mine, those eyes said, just as I am yours.

  A second later, and he had bent close, gripping my hair as he pulled my head back before his mouth covered mine. I gasped at the kiss, but he didn’t ease on the pressure, even kissing me deeper, his tongue claiming every inch of my mouth. “I will call you when I get to Geneva.”

  I swallowed. “You promise?”

  That I cared enough to ask seemed to surprise him. “Yes.” He kissed me hard. “And your promise, Lady Ella,” the prince gritted against my lips. “Do not forget.”

  Dimly, I realized that the limousine had slowed down and we had reached the airport.

  The prince pulled me up to sit beside him. He cupped my face, his voice nearly feral as he demanded, “Promise me.”

  I whispered shakily, “You don’t even have to ask.”

  The prince watched the limousine carrying his precious woman drive away and all the while felt like half of his heart had gone with it.

  Such melodrama does not become a hardened cynic like you, the prince ch
ided himself.

  Even though he was still filled with disquiet, the prince slowly turned and headed towards the gates of the airport. And yet, even when the prince had settled on his seat and his private jet had taken off, the disquiet still hadn’t gone away.

  Rather, it had worsened, and the prince wondered grimly if he had made a mistake. He knew Ella thought he was a moody bastard, blowing hot and cold on her, one moment kissing her then pushing her away another moment.

  The prince’s lips tightened.

  If only she knew the truth. If only she knew how hard he struggled every time they were alone, how it nearly killed him every time he had forced himself to hold back and not take her the way he wanted to.

  He knew he had only to ask, had only to kiss and touch her and Ella would surrender, would not think twice of yielding herself to him.

  But it was not right.

  He might be the prince, but his life was fraught with danger and would always be so. He was also the most possessive bastard on earth, and it would not be easy to have him as a husband.

  If he took her virginity, there would be no going back.

  So decide quickly, ukhayyah, the prince thought grimly.

  Love me as I love you, and then and only then can I fuck you to your heart’s desire.

  Part II

  Prologue

  Once upon a time, there was a wicked stepsister who did not care for anyone else. She wanted the kingdom for herself alone, and for that to happen she knew she must discredit her greatest competition – her half-brother, the Crown Prince, who stood to inherit the throne after the king.

  Now, painting the prince black was easier said than done for he was almost too perfect. Almost.

  As it turned out, the prince’s greatest weakness happened not to be within. Rather, as was with most men, his downfall turned out to be the woman who had captured his interest.

  Their new little sister, the American nobody…Ella.

  And so the wicked stepsister planned, and planned, and planned, hoping to blow everyone out of the water until she was the only one standing, with the keys to the kingdom in her hand.
