Chapter 342 - Royal Game Part 1
Moira followed beside Alanis's Stallion and he reached her hand. They rode down to the lake with their horses like it's a fairytale. It wasn't just a fairytale to her. But it was all a badass story. Since there are assassins around to guard them, the story was more like a fairytale-action.
It was a great morning, but Ivana came up riding a borrowed horse together with two ladies and three men. One is familiar. She nearly snapped his fingers when she recognized Winston who is grinning at her and then he waved.
"Sister in law!"
"Winston." She acknowledged.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you," Winston said.
"It's been a long time indeed. The last time I saw you is you got a broken nose."
Alanis chuckled freely that made women gaped at the beautiful sight of him laughing. It's probably the first time that they saw Alanis laugh like that.
"Darling, you did it to him. Don't be too harsh, okay?" He bent down to kiss her hand.
"Was I that harsh?" She grinned at him. Then she looked at the charming Winston.
"We are going to play Polo," Winston said. "Are you joining brother?"
Alanis glanced at him and then he looked back to Moira, asking for her permission. She smiled at him.
"Do you want to play?" She asked.
"You always play, Polo," Ivana said. "I am sure that your friends missed playing with you."
"They aren't my friends." He said in a cold voice. Ivana felt hurt by his coldness.
"I wanted to see you play."
"Is that what you want, my Queen?" He asked. She smirked at him.
"You wouldn't waste my week here, do you? You have to impress me." She said flirtatiously. He laughed and held her hand tightly. He faced Winston.
"Then, set the game this afternoon."
"Oh—okay." Winston is surprised. Alanis stopped playing with them back then.
"Let's race," Moira said and pulled her hand. She led her horse as the horse started running fast. Alanis's horse ran after her.
They reached the secret garden that Alanis set up for her. No one will intervene. He set a picnic blanket and a basket. He tied their horses on the tree and she lay on the picnic blanket. She patted the space beside her, and he pulled out his shirt and then he unbuckled his pants. He knelt beside her and cornered her.
"Make love to me here." She muttered.
"You keep insisting that a while ago." He slid his fingers to her hips and pulled out her panties. He crumpled it and the evidence of her arousal from her panties is turning him on.
"You haven't got a chance to carefully undress me last night. I had planned to seduce you with my thong."
"I saw it." He kissed her hand. "But that fucking poison spoiled it all. I won't ever forgive the person whoever did that to you." He reached her down there and the moist is making him more aroused.
"I want you inside me, quick."

Andy reached her towel as she wiped off her sweats. She glanced at her father who is panting from their sparring. She smirked at her father and then to her brother who is full of sweats and leaning on the wall.
"Why are you guys giving up early in the morning?" She asked.
"H-How did you got that stamina?" James asked. She thought of how her lovemaking with Zach almost endlessly during the weekend and some other nights then they will work out together in the gym. She took a sip on her bottle of water.
Zachary's clothes are also leaking with sweats yet he's not like the other two who nearly collapsed on the floor after their sparring.
"Do you want me to elaborate on how I got strong stamina?" She asked his brother. He hesitated and then he exhaled exasperatedly. He waved off and shook his head. He walked to the bench where his pregnant wife is waiting.
She stood and reached the towel as she wiped off his sweats. Fiona does the same to her husband as she laughed.
"This is a Royal Game, guys. We do this every month now."
"Royal Game my ass!" James scold her as everyone laughs.
"How can you please Natalie if you don't boost your stamina?"
"Hey! I got a twin inside her belly. So, don't underestimate my stamina in bed."
They laughed and Zachary reached the towel and covered it over his wife's head.
"Okay! You win, James. I am taking her away. She needed to cool down her head." Zach waved at them as he led her away from them to the shower room with a towel-covered over her head.
"Zach! We have a lunch party. Don't take too long in the shower!" James said indicating something.
"We will be an hour late!" He waved off as he laughed.
Zach took her to the shower room and since they own it, that's when he made love to her another after another.

Ellen glanced at Agatha who is busy proofreading her work before sending it to Percy who is only across her. She smiled when Percy covered his mouth and start laughing. Her dear brother just read something funny or maybe a sex scene. She had read half of the book and it somehow compared to someone's real true story.
Dmitri came closer to Agatha and kissed her cheek. He murmured something to her ear, and she bit her lip and then winked at her. Ellen saw it all. Damn, the couple is just perfect for each other.
"What's with the Royal Game?" Percy asked Dmitri.
"Royal Game is what Mondragon always does. It's like sparring or game of strengths. Andy just made it up a few months ago."
"Damn! Why aren't we invited?" He asked and checked his social media where James uploaded a photo of him and his pregnant beautiful wife.
Ellen checked her social media and Moira just update a photo of her and Alanis in a beautiful garden. Then a video clip of Alanis playing Polo.
"Moira is enjoying her life in a Royal Castle," Ellen said and send it to them.
"Moira? Isn't she James's Secretary?" Percy asked.
"Yes. Former Secretary and she's Alanis's fiancée."
"Alanis? This British Guy?"
"Yup." Ellen nodded. Moira will be her sister-in-law soon and she can't wait. But still, she had to wait for two more years.
Ellen watched the footage and she frowned seeing a familiar woman. She paused it and then showed it to Dmitri.
"This woman is Adrian's sister, right?" Ellen asked.
"Yes."
"Why is she there?"
"Well," Dmitri crossed his arms. "She's part of Alanis's childhood."
"Oh." She muttered.
"Oh, this is bad," Dmitri muttered.
"Why?" Ellen asked.
"That woman is predatory and she's in love with Alanis."
"Why does it seem that she's always in love with every man?" Ellen frowned. She will curse that witch if she could. "This bitch set up Andel and seduce him and she nearly got me hurt because she wanted Andel to be her boy toy. Now, Alanis?! I wonder if she did something bad to Moira already."
She sent it to Andel without thinking.
"I hate that bitch." She murmured.
"Andel? Andel Mondragon" Percy asked and she stopped. Did she just say Andel's name out loud? Agatha looked up at her and like she already knew.
"Yeah. He's my friend." She said which is a lie. "I met him last week accidentally and we talk, and he asked about Zach and you."
"Oh." Percy nodded. But Agatha's eyes are still on her. Damn it! Her crazy mouth!
"He's asking on where you've been, by the way, and if you got married since everyone is getting married."
"Well—I am single as hell. And still a hot brother to you." Percy winked.
"Oh! I forgot smoothies!" She went back to the kitchen and she exhaled. She wanted to slap her mouth with that.
Her phone started ringing and she immediately answered it.
"Hey." She bit her lip.
"Baby girl, what's with the video that you sent me?"
"It's Moira and Alanis. They are in London."
"Why did I saw an Eagle there?" He seemed to be asking in a rush."
"Yeah—" She exhaled. Damn, another mistake. Andel will be in a rage. "Big Bear, I'll be home. Wait for me, okay?"
"Okay."
She quickly took her things. Then approached them in the living room.
"Guys I am leaving. Something came up!" She said and she kissed Percy on the cheek.
"Do you want me to drive you, El?" He asked.
"No. Just focused on your work."
She went outside and a bodyguard followed her, and a car stopped just outside the penthouse building. Then her bodyguard opened it. She entered and rushed back to Andel's penthouse.
When she arrived there, Andel seemed to be furious.
"My sister got poisoned!" He exclaimed. "Alanis. I swear, if something bad happened to my sister again, I will fucking kill you!" He growled. This is all her fault. He hung up and nearly throw his phone.
"Big bear!" She faced him and then she hugged him. Andel's tension body relaxes and he inhaled her scent and hugged her. "Moira's fine."
"Oh, baby… she's my only sister." He hugged her tightly.
