Jade was at the library reviewing some of her Geopolitics and Greek studies. Her eyes flipped between the books and the notepad, completely focused when she heard the door behind her being shut. She glanced over her shoulder to see Liam smiling at her. His tie was undone, his shirt had three buttons open, black pants perfectly fitting his body, a bottle of a Bordeaux on one hand and two glasses on the other.
“Hello, my queen.” Liam smiled playfully.
“Liam!” For some reason she wasn’t quite sure, Jade felt her cheeks flush. “I didn’t know you were home yet.“
He grinned. “You shouldn’t be up so late studying. Sleeping properly is a key ingredient to learning, you know,” he placed the glasses and the bottle at Jade’s desk and sat across her, gazing her intently.
Jade looked at the clock on her phone and her eyes went wide when she realized it was past eleven. “I didn’t know it was so late. When you texted me saying you’d be dining with German politicians, I decided to have dinner with Hana and just came here. When did you get home?”
“About half an hour ago. I asked your maid if you were already asleep, but she told me you were here,” Liam rested his chin on his hands, his eyes never leaving her.
“I’m sorry. I lost track of time. I should’ve asked someone to let me know when you arrived.”
“It’s okay, my love. However, I think you had enough study for tonight.” Liam smiled as he shut her books and took her hand to kiss it.
“I don’t feel like I need to sleep just yet. Do you have any suggestions of I should do now?” Jade said softly, looking at him hungrily.
“I may have an idea you’d be interested in,” his smile was mischievous and seductive.
“I’m all ears, fiancé.”
“I know you’re drinking game enthusiast, so I thought we should play a dirty questions game,” Liam poured wine into the glasses and gave her one of them. “As a ground rule, we should both have a drink after a round of three questions.”
“I’m game. And since this is your idea, I should start asking.”
“By all means, my queen.”
They clung glasses and they both drank before starting the game. Liam’s gaze was tempting and his smile was so enticing that Jade felt like he’d up for anything, so she was determined to be impudent.
“How was your first time?”
Liam couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re eager as ever.”
“Always. Now talk dirty to me, my king,” Jade winked while she took a sip of the wine.
“A few days before my sixteenth birthday, Leo told me he booked four hours at a paintball field in Amsterdam for us. We did play that afternoon, but he said we’d have to leave early because he had an appointment he couldn’t miss before going back to the hotel. So the car stopped at a speakeasy and we got in. He got a booth next to the stage where two women were pole dancing. He got me a drink and told me hired them for me.”
Jade’s jaw dropped. “Wait, you had a threesome on your first time?”
“Well, yes.” He smiled amused by her surprised expression.
“And did you enjoy it?”
“That’s two questions, my love. And I haven’t had mine yet.”
“But it’s just a follow-up question.”
“Nice try, Jay,” he smirked at her.
“Oh, come on, Liam… I’ll let you ask me two questions in a row and you can dare me to do anything.”
“Hmm…” Liam rubbed his chin playfully. “Interesting proposal. I’ll take it.”
Jade drank some of her wine. “Now spill it.”
“It was very informative. The courtesans told me they liked me because I was a giver, so they taught me some tricks. It was good, but I admit that it’d probably be nicer if I were a little soberer.”
“Of course you charmed the courtesans with your niceness. You’re unbelievable, Liam,” Jade shook her head smiling.
“So I’ve been told.” he grinned. “I believe it’s my turn now. What’s your magic number?”
Jade’s eyes widen up. “I didn’t even know you knew what that meant.”
“Internet is an amazing tool, my queen. Now answer it,” he demanded. His fingers played with the glass of wine while his gaze was locked with hers sent shivers down her spine.
“Twenty I think. There were mostly hookups though. I just had four boyfriends and one of them didn’t pass second base.”
“Hmm…” Liam beamed. “Time to drink up.”
“Aren’t you going to make your second question?”
“All in good time, Jay,” he poured wine on their glasses and they drank again. “Okay. Favorite position.”
“Standing up. It’s a great position to fulfill your outdoor kink,” Jade smirked at Liam and he laughed.
“Have you ever had sex with someone whose name you never knew?”
“A few times. Leo hosted some orgies at an unused wing here, so in these situations, it’s kind of hard to remember names.”
“You’re wilder than I thought, Your Majesty,” Jade said grinning.
Liam cocked his head to one side and laughed.
“What’s the dirtiest thought you’ve ever had about a stranger?”
“’I hope he ditches his friends on our way out, pulls me to a side, pins me against a wall and fucks my brains out’. Yes, that thought was about you, right after you asked me to join you and the guys on your first bachelor party,” Jade bit her lower lip with a tempting look in her eyes.
Liam laughed. “I wish I knew about that sooner.”
They drank the wine together after the second three-question round. Jade started asking again. “Would you have had sex with me that night?”
“I wanted to, but I was already drawn to you and I knew I’d regret having sloppy, casual sex with you. Even though I didn’t expect to see you again, I needed to know more about you. I wanted it to be perfect whenever it happened.”
“Aww… What did you want to know?”
“Save it for later. It’s my turn now.”
“Can we negotiate?”
Liam shook his head and Jade pouted. He leaned closer to her and kissed her softly.
Jade tried to suppress a smile. “Okay, your turn.”
“Does your magic number list include women?”
“Yes, two. Now my question. What did you want to know about me before we had sex?”
“Just some useful information. Things you like, the way you kiss, how you work with hands and legs, your sensitive spots. I only delayed more because you became one of my suitors and I didn’t want to hurt you. If we were in a regular relationship, I wouldn’t have tortured us for so long.”
“Good to know,” Jade purred as she stood up and straddled Liam. Grinding her hips on his bulge, she unbuttoned his shirt just enough to pepper kisses and gently bite his neck.
He put his arms around her and they kissed fervently, his hand traveling from her lower back to her hips. She was about to unzip her dress when he pulled away.
“Hey, we’re not done here. I still have one question.” Liam said, looking a bit more serious.
“Hmm… Okay. Shoot.”
“Have you ever kissed someone else in court?”
Jade went pale.
“It’s okay, love. I’m not jealous. Just curious.”
“Err… I don’t know…” Jade looked away.
Liam lifted Jade’s chin so he could look into her eyes. “Jade, I mean it. I just want you to be completely honest with me. We’re getting married in three weeks. I want you to trust me with anything just like I trust you.”
“You do?”
“Of course I do. I just told you about some of the crazy sexual stuff I engaged in because my older brother is insane and always dared me to those things. Trust me, I won’t judge. I would never.”
“Okay…” Jade closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Drake. And Hana.”
He frowned as a mix of emotions clouded his features. “Oh.
