“I’m glad to hear that, baby girl. Is there anything special that you’d like for dinner? You can have whatever you want, and I promise that it will be the most delicious dish that you have ever tasted,” he offered.
I sat back, tracing a finger along my chin as I thought about what I might want. I considered a traditional Italian meal, but I had much of that over the time I had spent doing my studies in the country. Instead, I thought about something that I hadn’t enjoyed since I had been in the States.
“I would love Mexican. Tacos, burritos, fajitas, the works. Fish, chicken, carnitas. All of that,” I finally said.
“Good choice,” he replied with a grin and I smiled excitedly. “I will make it happen for you, baby girl.” He looked at his watch and sighed.
“Give me five minutes to make a few calls. Finish your breakfast. When I return, I’ll introduce you to my world,” he said. There was a touch of frustration in his words, but I didn’t press him for anything. Instead, I just nodded and dug back into my meal.

It didn’t take me very long to finish eating. I wasn’t used to filling up on a big breakfast like this and I was more than full, leaving me thankful for the soft stretchy fabric of the wrap dress. I stood up and looked out the window, waiting for him to be ready to go. I opened the glass and gazed out into the mountains. He had a pretty fantastic view from up here in his tower and I couldn’t get enough of it. The soft white snowcaps and the green of the valleys, along with the gray and brown rock were mesmerizing and when a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist, I gasped in surprise.
“Come on, sweet girl. Let’s go,” he murmured.
He took my hand and led me out of the castle through a series of stairways and hallways. We didn’t run into a single person and I quickly surmised this was his own private way through the castle that he used when he wanted to be alone. It was sparsely lit with overhead lights. There weren’t any candles here that would need to be constantly lit.
In no time at all, we exited the back of the castle and I found myself outdoors for the first time in a long while. The fresh mountain air felt like a gentle caress and I took in a deep breath, reveling in the cool feel of it in my lungs. I could feel the sun on my skin, and I pulled my shoulders back, fresh and renewed at its light.
I turned around and stared at the castle from which I had come. It was just as vast and majestic as I had imagined, if not bigger. It was made of dark gray stone and was larger than even some of the rolling mansions of the rich and famous. It was at least six stories high, with great round towers at each of the four corners that rose even higher into the sky. One of those towers was the king’s chambers. I’d looked out of one of those windows.
It looked like a castle out of a Disney movie and I’d only gotten to explore just a small portion of it. When the king and I returned, I would ask him to show me more of it. Perhaps I’d even get him to show me the dungeons. I giggled when I thought about that and he gave me a curious look.
“What amuses you?” he finally asked after I couldn’t get my laughing under control.
“I was just admiring your castle and wondering if anyone ever got sent to the dungeons,” I finally managed to say when I could contain myself.
“Not often, baby girl. If you’re naughty today though, perhaps you’ll get to find out,” he warned lightly and I bit my lip, quite aware of how his words were affecting me. I remembered how bare I felt underneath the dress and he was the reason for it. He’d forbidden me from wearing panties and that was making me wet.
“Come now. Let me show you my world,” he said gently, still smiling. He took my hand and led me into the back of a blacked-out extended Range Rover. It was exquisite inside, with soft gray leather and a thick privacy screen that shielded us from the driver. There were cold bottles of water waiting, along with a spread of fresh fruit, cheeses, and meats.
The king sat next to me and pulled me close.
“Today, you’re going to see the kingdom of Santaro. It’s
small and quaint, but we have everything we need here, including some of the best restaurants, artisans, and shops in the world. Anything you want, we can get it here,” he explained.
The car pulled away from the castle and I gazed out the window. The car moved slowly, and Matteo pointed out various things from designer clothing shops, to various restaurants that served Italian food, to diners and even a few small bars that looked cozy and comfortable to spend the evening chatting and drinking the night away.
The car stopped in front of a small boutique and he smiled. I turned toward it and I saw what was in the window. It was a lingerie store and I blushed heavily.
“What are we doing here?” I asked tentatively.
“I want to see you show off that beautiful little body. The shop is ours, sweet girl, so the moment we walk inside, I want you to hang your dress by the door. Together, we’re going to go shopping and you’re going to be naked for me,” he instructed.
My blush deepened.
“No one will be there?” I asked.
“We will have the place to ourselves, baby girl,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to the side of my head. As much as the thought of being naked for him in the middle of a public shop shamed me, it also aroused me, and I could feel my pussy pulsing with need at his words.
He climbed out of the car, walked around it, and opened the door for me like the perfect gentleman. He offered his hand and I took it, venturing outside once more. We walked together, hand in hand, and I tried to wrap my head around the fact that he was a king and I was just a normal girl. It didn’t seem real, but his touch on mine was very much so.
He led me inside the small shop and as soon as we walked in the door, he closed it behind us. He flipped a switch and the automatic blinds closed. I didn’t even need to look to see that he expected me to obey his instructions. He would be watching me bare myself for him. He’d be enjoying the sight and that very thought made my core twist hard with desire. I reached for the tie at my waist, undoing it, and I unwrapped the dress, letting it fall open to reveal the front of me. I shrugged one shoulder and then the other, displaying one breast and then the other.
I heard him suck in a breath and I grew bolder. I allowed the fabric to slide down my arms, taking it as I bared myself and hanging it on the hook beside the door. I could almost feel his eyes on me, sliding up and down my body as I turned and showed him my bare bottom. I heard his soft footfalls before his fingers grazed against my naked skin.
He was extraordinarily gentle, and I leaned into his touch, very much enjoying figuring out who this man was now that we were alone, and no one could see either of us.
