Chapter 49 - [Bonus ] The Princess Selection (3)

Jason got up very early in the morning. The sun had yet risen in the sky when he got up. He rushed towards the kitchen of the palace to get started on his mission. 

Out of fear, he had let Davion down and he was going to make it up to him. Breakfast in bed sounded like the best way to start the day after going to bed angry. 

He bumped into Winrus in the halls. The man had the crown prince's food in his hands carrying it to the room. "Sorry your highness, the mistake was mine," Winrus apologized. 

"Is that for Davy?" Jason inquired of him. Winrus nodded his head to acknowledge and give him a reply. "Give it to me, I will hand it to him," Jason ordered. 

Winrus raised the tray of food and handed it to him. Jason was not just royalty but he was officially engaged to the crown prince. Winrus didn't feel like he had a choice in the matter, not that he wanted to serve the crown prince his food. 

The male was in a bad mood, he had gone to bed so late and would probably wake up grumpy. He let Jason take the tray and followed behind him, for the first time he was relieved that there was someone else in the prince's life. 

It saves him the rush of going to meet the man in his current mood. 

Jason was nervous, he had no idea how the prince would react to seeing him. What he would say to his apology and how hard he would have to work to get him to calm down. 

All that he knew was that it would be worth the effort to get Davion to smile with him again. They strode carefully up to the room where Winrus got the door for him. 

"Thank you," had thanked the male and walked into the room. 

He set the tray of food on the tea table and walked to the bed to wake the prince but he wasn't there. The bed was neatly spread and he was nowhere to be seen. 

"I will check the bathroom," he suggested to himself and walked towards the bathroom. 

He pushed the door slightly open and peeked into the room. His eyes traveled to the pool where the subject of his search laid with his eyes closed. 

He swallowed the lump in his throat and pushed the door further open before he walked inside. His heart pulsated with his eyes fluttering as he moved close to the pool. 

"Help me take a bath," the prince ordered. 

Jason looked behind him but Winrus was not there. Now that he thought about it, the male had not followed him inside the room.

'Maybe he just wanted to give us some privacy,' he thought happy for Winrus's understanding. 

He strode over to the pool and sat at the edge, watching down to the crown prince. He was without flaws, he was captivating in his peaceful sleeping state. 

His eyes softly shut with his eyebrows resting on his skin. His lips slightly parted as though inviting him for a kiss, and his hair wet from the water. Jason watched him, feeling his love for the male grow from the core of his heart. 

Lowering his eyes, he gazed upon the prince's collarbone and then to his chest. The flower petals prevented him from seeing the prince's full chest or lower body. But the little he could see what drove him out of his senses. 

"Are you waiting for a written invitation?" Davion asked feeling the stare. He could feel someone's presence but instead of the man bathing him, the man was admiring his looks and it was irritating. 

Jason drew the water and poured it on top of the prince's shoulder. He watched the water trickle down his skin. He gulped. 

It was torture, to sit there, his fingers itching to trace Davion's skin. But he had to hold himself back to avoid annoying the man more than he already did. 

He still had not apologized and asked for forgiveness. "Winrus, I asked you to give me a bath not pour water on me," the prince complain. 

He swiftly grabbed Jason's hand and placed it in his skin. Jason stunned remained still, his fingers trembled at the electricity that flowed from the man's skin to his hand. 

He bit his lip and prevented himself from letting out any noise to not alert that he wasn't Winrus. "This hand, it isn't Winrus," Davion mumbled and forcefully pulled on Jason's hand. 

Jason fell into the water and got soaked from head to toe. He struggled inside the pool and gained his balance, he lifted his head from the water, brought his hands to his face, and wiped the water away from his eyes.

Davion stood outside the pool already in a robe covering his body. He had an angry look on his face. He glared at Jason. Jason moved to the edge of the pool and slowly got himself out of the water, he was soaking wet. 

Water dripped from his clothes. "Who gave you permission to come in here?" The crown prince barked at him. 

"I am your fiancee, I can come here anytime I feel like," Jason let out annoyed that he was wet. Instead of the man offering him a towel or a cloth to dry himself with, he was asking him for permission.

"And who told you that being my fiancee gave you the right to enter my room without permission?" Davion asked seriously. 

Jason lifted his chin to examine the mood Davion was in. Seeing that the man was serious, he refrained fr giving him the sarcastic reply that was itching at his lips. 

"I am sorry," he said apologetically. 

"Get out," Davion demanded. "Winrus," he shouted. 

"I'm wet, can I change before I go?" Jason inquired of him. "You are the reason that I am wet," he mumbled. 

Winrus rushed into the bathroom and stood by the door. He looked at the scene in the room and the tension on the prince was high. 

"Change the water in the pool, it's dirty," Davion let out and exited the room.
