Protect Me Alpha King

Bath in the water? With him?

Looking up, I examined the alpha king's face, looking for any sign that he was kidding.

He was not.

His dark eyebrows were perfectly still, as his gaze bore into mine.

Oh, Moon Goddess. What kind of punishment was this?

I chuckled, trying to hide what I was feeling right now—anxiety.

I hid my hands behind my back as images of what he was asking flashed in my memories. Me with the naked alpha king. Inside the tub.

"Your Majesty…is that for real? Like really? I will join you in your bath?"

The tension spread on my body and rested on my neck, and put my hands on that part to ease the pain.

Damn it.

When I entered this palace, it was not my mission to flirt with him so that he would want me and would give me anything I wanted. All I wanted was his help so that I would know something about my parents.

He moved his head from side to side.

"It is. I never joke around, River. It's such a waste of my time."

I gulped as my gaze darted to his nakedness. His delicious muscles were ripped and had more than two abs. I clenched my fist when a little part of me wanted to run my fingers all over his chest and see for myself whether it was hard like a rock.

As if he was a fine specimen for observation, my eyes roamed over his body, as if I was hungry for his body display. I did not know but seeing the battle scars all over his chest made me feel something. Pride? I was not sure.

“Done checking me out?” the alpha king asked, his lips curled, his eyebrows meeting and creating a straight line.

It seemed like a bucket of ice was thrown over me and I realized the train of my thoughts. How could I lust after his body?

"I-I'm not, Your Majesty," I answered, attempting to hide my uneasiness. "I was looking at your wounds done by the rogue. It was already healed."

I mentally patted my back for lying with a straight face.

"I am not asking you to do that. Do you want me to punish you again, huh?”

I felt my cheeks flush at the way he looked at me with so much intensity.
