“Oh wakey wakey, eggs and bakey” were the words that caused Jade to open her eyes and look up to see Maxwell in her room and looking down to her “Good you are alive…I thought for a moment I might have had to get Liam or someone to do CPR.” Though as she started to sit up she realized just how much she was clutching the pillow that smelled of Drake and though she knows that she can’t let it be known she could start to put it back down by her bag that she had packed. Maxwell who was talking about how they had to get going after breakfast witnessed Jade starting to put the pillow down by her bag to go and he started to question her “Uh Jade, you know that we can’t take the pillows, they are part of Olivia’s place” as he chuckled she looked to him “Oh what is one pillow, I actually slept….good you know for once. Like she would miss it” she stated as she stuck her tongue out to him. Though as though it just seemed that he got up there to talk to her they were soon starting to head down to the breakfast area. Jade had successfully crammed the pillow that smelt of Drake into her duffle that she had and had her suitcase already down there to. Though as she sat there snacking on a muffin that was brought over to her and her morning coffee she was toning in and out about what Maxwell and Bertrand were talking about as she soon realized that Drake was not there and that she had yet to see him.

“Lady Jade, are you even paying attention to what we are trying to tell you?” Bertrand’s cranky voice rippled through her ears catching her attention “Yeah sorry I just…I just was thinking about how this is going so fast. Where have you been Bertrand if I may ask?” and as she looked to him his posture became stiff as he cleared his throat “I believe that is none of your concern and when and if it ever is I will be sure to tell you. But if you must know I have been just dealing with a few family financials that is all, but again that does not concern you. Today you must have a clear head as you will be racing in the boat races.” Jade looked to him her eyes wide “Bertrand I am sorry to hear that you are having to deal with that but you want me to race?” she looked scared and though she was going to pass out “Bertrand I have never ever raced a boat and I think I have been on one maybe 3 times…I know nothing about racing a boat” and as she started to run her hand through her hair Maxwell piped in “Don’t you worry about that we have a few people that are going to help you out, right Bertrand?” and as Maxwell looked to his brother and saw that look in his eyes Bertrand answered “Of course you have nothing to worry about. Now you should be off to change, you have a race to win. Remember no pressure” and with that Bertrand excused himself and started to head out of the area where they were sitting. “Yeah no pressure at all” Jade said under her breath as they all started to head out and get into the sky again heading back to the palace to be at the Regatta.

After a few hours of flying and though she was super tired Jade knew that today was important; if she won today she would be able to not only spend a little bit of time with the Prince but she would be able to have a chat with the King Father. Knowing that it has been a while since she has seen him, she wants to show him as well as everyone else that she is good enough to be here. Though as she finally got her suitcase and her duffle off the private plan that shuttled all the ladies around, she started to head to the boutique where she ran into Hana who immediately helped her find her new outfit for the races. Jade knew that she would have to have fun today and though her mind was still running to the fact that she had yet to see Drake she slipped to the dressing room and began to get dressed. As soon as she was done she walked out sporting a blue and white striped shirt, blue shorts with a rope belt. Though as she headed out and Hana complemented her, her mind again was set on Drake and wondering where he could be.

As Hana walked with Jade down to the docks where the Regatta was being held, Hana headed over to where the other ladies were as Jade took in the amazing and beautiful scene around her, including the amazingly gorgeous boats that were just bobbing in the water. As she took in the golden rays of the sun and looked to the amazingly blue waters that were splashing up against these boats, Jade couldn’t help but smile. Her mind was loving this and just knowing that she was in such a beautiful place, for a moment she wished that this was all over and she could just jump onto one of the boats and let it take her wherever. Though as she was a little deep in thought she was startled when she heard that soothing voice from behind her “Fancy meeting you here” the voice made her shiver as she smiled to herself and as she started to turn she said “Well then I guess leaving it to fate, it shows that it was on our side” she smiled as she began to face Liam who was smiling from ear to ear as he then leaned in and kissed her cheek letting his soft lips linger there for longer than he really should have. When he finally pulled away Jade’s cheeks were pink from blushing “So this Regatta, I bet you have a lot of good memories here as well” she stated to him as he began to walk her down the dock just a little ways “To be honest I don’t really like boats and I am not that big of fan of sailing, but don’t ever let my father know that” he stated as he started to look to her in the eyes as if looking at her like he knew that he could already trust her. “You see, a while back Drake and I went out with a few of the guys, though I knew that I already didn’t want to be there I didn’t want to let my friends down, and it was right around the time that Drake had just come back. So you know I went and we were having a great time until a storm hit and our boat ended up capsizing, never really been a fan since” he shared with her as she looked at him nervously “Everyone made it our right” she said as they stood there and he soon took her hand in his gently and out of the view of people and he brought it to be held in his “Luckily but I really never wanted to take the chance at being out there again, but you know, got to keep the old man happy” he said as he started to smile to her and just as his eyes met hers and she smiled back to him his father’s voice rang over them. As King Father gave the opening speech they both looked on and watched and as Jade looked to Liam she could see that he was proud of his dad and she could tell that he cared for him so much and knew that Liam was doing anything and everything to make his father proud. Though as they stood there the King finally starting to wrap up the opening speech made one final announcement “Before I close out this opening address I wanted to announce something rather important. I wanted to wait to make this announcement until later on down the Social Season but I realized that now is as good as time as any” and as he took a shaky breath in Jade could see that he looked scared and nervous and as she looked to Liam he looked the same “I have decided that it is time that I step down from the throne, so it is with honor that effective immediately the transition of King will be bestowed upon my son Liam, as Cordonia’s new king. Thank you all for coming. I will have a press later this week but for now please do enjoy your time and have some fun. No questions right now please.” King Father set the microphone down and turned back to Queen Mother Regina and as Jade looked to Liam he instantly ran his hand over the back of his neck “Hey are you going to be alright?” she asked him starting to turn him to look at him and he took a deep breath and answered “Now I am not looking just for a wife…but I guess I am looking for my Queen” and as he looked to Jade she could see the nervousness in his eyes but soon it faded away and the perfect and confident looking Liam was back as the press started to surround them and as they began asking questions about the ladies Jade went to take a step back but soon she felt Liam grab her arm gently as if silently requesting that she stay with him “Lady Jade, you are the front runner in most of Cordonia’s eyes to marry Liam, but are you ready to be Queen if Liam chooses you” and as she looked to answer she caught Drake standing there towards the back and as Liam reached down taking her hand and smiling to her she then saw Drake leave as she then answered “Liam and I are still getting to know each other. Although I do care about him, there are still many more moments along the way that will have to be seen. I believe Cordonia is an amazing place and I do feel like home here, but we will just have to see how the remainder of the social season plays out.” Though as she finished answering the question a photo could be taken just as she looks up to Liam “They like you” he stated as she smiled to him.

After excusing herself she ran into Maxwell who ushered her onto a boat that would be the boat that she was going to be racing. Though as she started to get onto the boat even more she turned around towards the bow of the boat and almost ran right into Drake “Drake!” she said in surprise not realizing that he was going to be on the boat “Hey Morgan” though when he answers he seems a little bit upset though giving a weak smile to her as he walks past her and starts to get things ready to go. Jade couldn’t understand what was going on why was he acting like this and as she headed over to Maxwell she asked him what was going on and Maxwell informed her that Drake offered to help when the crew that was hired didn’t turn up due to money issues and knowing that they needed all the help that they could get today Maxwell agreed to take Drake’s help. Though as Maxwell started to head off too Jade walked back over to Drake knowing that she wanted to thank him and as she got closer to him she said “Drake” and he instantly brought his head up from what he was doing “Yeah Morgan” and as she walked to him she wrapped her arms around him not caring at all if anyone could see and as she hugged him and he gently hugged her back she said “Thank you, for being here….I really mean it” and as she looked up to him he smiled back to her and looking her in the eyes deeply “Well you know me Morgan, I couldn’t leave you to sharks” and as he looked to her there was a deep longing look right to her eyes, the connection that they have was spiraling inside both of their minds as she was looking right to his eyes as if trying to see what he was trying to say and as she looked to him she could feel the pull in her heart pulling her more and more to him knowing that he is the safe route, he is also the dangerous route, knowing that if she were to do what she wanted to do right now it would cause a scandal and she couldn’t do that to him, or Liam right now. But knowing inside her body, her mind and her heart all ached for him the man that was right in front of her. Though as she stood there and was just close to him she knew that she had to get her thoughts and her emotions under control “Where is Bertrand?” she asked him and Drake explained that he had some affairs to handle yet again and couldn’t be on the boat at this time and when she mentioned Tariq to help Drake doubled over laughing as he stated “Thanks Morgan I needed that, but it looks like you will just have to help out, maybe show the other gals that you are able to take charge when need be” and as he smiled to her “Unless you are afraid to get a little wet” and as he said that the look in his eyes was that of a deeper meaning and as she noticed this she smirked “Bring it on Drake” “Oh your on Morgan, just do me a favor careful with your ankle please” he said giving her a little wink.

Soon after Liam and the King gave the start to the race leading them off with a loud horn and all through the race Jade stood her ground helping the men that she had direct the wind, tying and loosening the knots when needed be. Though there was one moment when Maxwell made a hard right turn to turn around the buoy to head back that Jade tripped right into Drake whom caught her right away “Hey you alright…is your foot okay” and as he looked to her she looked right to him “Yeah, I..I think that I am alright” and as she smiled up to him his hand ran up and down her side but soon they were pulled apart as Maxwell announced that they were getting closer and soon Jade’s boat and Olivia’s were neck and neck and as Drake yelled out for her to pull the last sails knot out she did and her boat sped past Olivia’s crossing the finish line. As soon as their boat halted to a stop they all got out of the boat and came together in a hug as a celebration and soon was joined by Hana and then Liam and King Constantine. The King Father looked to Jade and gave a nod “For someone that has barely been here a mere few months you certainly are making waves you know that?” he asked her as she smiled to him and reassured him that she is head strong and ready for anything that could come their way.

After some time the King and Liam excused themselves and began to head to the other boats to visit with the others though as Liam walked away he gave her hand a little bit of a squeeze as he held it there for a moments time and once he released she ended up joining Hana on Olivia’s boat. Though of course Olivia made the time to poke fun at Jade even as much as to offer a life jacket telling her that she was going to be drowning soon anyways, if she kept going the way she was. Jade couldn’t take it anymore as she excused herself though as she walked with a good speed she almost ran right into Drake “Having fun?” he asked as he looked to her right before she ran into him “Not really actually, I just don’t want to be here really” and as she looked to him she could see that he was seeming a little bit off too as he stated “Oh you can’t tell me that Queen Jade is sad for some reason” and as he looked to her he crossed his arms in front of his chest “Drake what is going on you know me better than anyone that I am not sure on what to do…I am not queen and who knows if I will be.” She began looking down to the ground “Jade you’re the only one that can make that choice for yourself…you know where I stand on everything, but this choice that you will have to make soon, will have to be just on your own.” Drake said as he started to look to her starting to reach out and stroke her cheek “I will catch you later, maybe at the beach party” and as he smiled to her a little bit she felt her heart sink a little bit more. She knew in her heart and her mind that he was right, that everything that was before her had to be her decision and not anyone else’s. But the only thing that was flopping around was her heart; she knew what it wanted…but just didn’t know with whom she wanted it with. Though as she walked a little bit more down the beach away from all the people she ended up sinking down to the sand holding her knees to her chest and started to rest her head on them feeling the tears welling up in her eyes and as she looked around realizing that she was all alone in this she started to think about Autumn and what she was up to and her parents knowing that she really hadn’t talked to anyone out of the privacy of the social season.

Though as she looked around and saw that there was no one around at all she started to pull out her phone starting to look through the text messages from Autumn and the photos that she would send and the occasional meme. Jade wiped away the tears that were starting to fall wondering if maybe this was a sign maybe she should just go home, go back to her old life, no nobles, no snooty women, no King and Queen, no Bertrand, no Maxwell, no Hana, no Liam…and no Drake. As she sat there thinking about leaving them behind she started to feel even more sad knowing that they have become so much more to her than just travel buddies, or just friends…they are like family to her especially the Beaumont brothers, Hana, Liam and Drake. Her eyes started sweeping across the sky as she then looked to her phone and going to saved voicemails she found the one she needed to hear the most-the one from her parents when she first moved to New York. Highlighting her parent’s number, she clicked to listen and immediately let the tears go as she heard her mother and fathers voice “Hey sweetie it’s just us old timers checking in on you. We know that you are over there doing whatever it is that you are doing but we just wanted to call and say hi and tell you that we love you and that we miss you so much. Maybe soon you will be able to visit home and we will be able to smother you with all the hugs and the kisses that we can give” and as she continued to listen she felt her heart aching as she heard her father state “Just remember sweetheart you own your heart, you are the only one that can chose what you want to do and where you want your road to lead. But just know that you are worthy of love happiness and to have all your dreams come true. Keep your head up darling and keep smiling. We love you!” and the phone went off and as Jade replayed it a few more times she heard her father’s voice mixing with what Drake had told her and she knew from that moment on that she really had to think about what she wanted and where her heart belonged.

As time slipped away and Jade didn’t realize just how much time had passed as she was lost in her thoughts as she jumped a little bit when she felt a soft hand on her shoulder “There you are! I was beginning to think that I might have to send out a search party in the water” and as she looked up she saw Hana smiling down at her not realizing that her eyes were still puffy from crying “Oh no, do I have to hurt someone, cause I really wanted to go to the beach party, but I mean I could hurt someone quickly if I need too” and as she started to sit down next to Jade she chuckled a little bit at the fire that she could hear in Hana’s voice “No Hana you don’t have to hurt anyone I am just you know going through the emotions a little bit, plus I just listened to a message from my parents and I miss them so much” she said starting to wipe at her eyes a little bit more “Oh hun I am so sorry I know that it has to be hard for you being all the way from your family, I know that this can’t be easy” and as she looked to her with a pout she started to hug Jade from the side a little bit and Jade said “It’s just everything that is coming to a head, I mean you kind of know what is going on with me and…well Drake and Liam I just…I don’t know what to do Hana. I don’t want to hurt either one of them” and as she started to think about hurting either one of them she started to feel the tears threatening to fall again. “Well if it’s any help look at my situation, I came here thinking that I might fall in love with Liam, instead I fell in love with a Beaumont, and Liam was totally understanding of it. I mean I know that he was never going to love me or chose me in the end but he told me that I had to follow my heart, I had to follow what felt right. He understood completely, and the reason that I am still here is that he didn’t want to send me home in the middle of the social season and make it seem that it was not a consensual decision that him and I are not together. He knows that I am with Maxwell and he knows that I chose Maxwell over him and I have a big feeling that he would understand with you as well. I mean I know that he cares a lot about you and I know that you and him have history so it might be hard at first but you both are strong and so is Drake, he has been through a lot more than a lot of people know. But both men that care for you are strong, they are loyal and they are so understanding. You just have to think for you, and if I were you I would take these next few weeks to really spend time with both of them when you get a chance and really question what you see for your future, not theirs, not Cordonia’s….but Jade Morgan’s” and as she started to look at Jade she smiled and Jade couldn’t do anything more than lean in and hug her friend. “Thank you Hana you have no idea how much that means to me that I can talk to you and you won’t judge me for it” and as she pulled away she looked right to Hana “I am glad that you and Maxwell have each other, he is a good guy and I know that he will treat you right” and as she smiled again they both stood up “Now if I am not mistaken there is a beach party that is going to be starting…and you don’t have a bathing suit, so this calls for a little RRS….Rest, Relaxation and Shopping” Hana laughed as she started to walk Jade away from where they were and heading to the a little shop down the road.

A little time later Hana and Jade walked from the little shop finally dressed and ready to go to the party. Hana was in her new pink and black bikini with a white over dress and Jade was in her new blue and white styled bikini with a jade green cover-up, and not to mention the suit complemented her body right to a tee as it was a perfect fit highlighting her curves and the way that it just hugged her body. “Wow Jade if I wasn’t already with the one I want…wow is all I can say” said Maxwell as he jogged up to meet the ladies and walk them the rest of the way “Well thank you Maxwell but I would never be able to go behind Hana’s back like that but I do love the complements” and as she gave him a smile and Maxwell snuck a kiss from Hana before they got to the beach, she looked around the beach a little bit seeing everyone having fun, some people getting food, some getting drinks, some just lounging and some in the water and as she took in a deep breath she realized that starting now she really had to make the best of both worlds when it came to Liam and Drake. Though as the three of them walked around a little bit more Maxwell started to sample some of the little appetizers feeding some to Hana and of course doing the same to Jade so no one would question his movements with Hana though as time wondered on and Jade was still thinking about everything and wondering where she was going to start with this new found stretch of journey that she was on she looked over towards a table towards where the drinks are and sees Drake sitting there and as he looks up he waved her over. Though as she walked over to him she could see his eyes wonder over her and his eyebrows raise a little bit and as she approached he stated “As it should be any surprise that you look incredible” and as he looked over her again she could feel the heat in his eyes just radiating to her. “Well thank you I do take pride in the help that Hana gave me in finding the perfect suit” and as she laughed Drake chuckled and said “Remind me that I am going to have to thank her for finding that suit for you…and yell at her cause its distracting” as he took another drink of beer “I am actually glad that you are here now I know that I don’t have to drink alone” as he reached back grabbing another beer bottle and handing it over to her, she shook her head and as she took a sip she looked to him holding his gaze. “Damn it Jade…you…are” he started but then was interrupted by Maxwell “Hey, hey, hey party people, please tell me you are going to be checking out the BBQ soon cause this guy right here is starving” Though as Jade looked over she finally realized that there was an actual BBQ there and seeing the common food like hot dogs, hamburgers sloppy joes, etc that were lined up alone the table right after a huge grill. “Who thought of all this?” and as she looked around she saw Drake smile “Well Liam thought that it would be a nice touch of home for you” and as he smiled to her Hana swiftly came over to her to head over towards the grill though what she didn’t hear was Maxwell walking to Drake and asking him “Did Liam really think that?” and Drake looked to Maxwell and said “No, I told Liam that a BBQ would be a different pace then little finger food and he thought that it was a good idea. But I thought it would be a good pace for Jade” and as he looked to Maxwell he stated “But this goes no further….got it?” and as Maxwell realized what Drake just did he shook his head and started to head over to where Jade and Hana were.

After a little bit of time they were all around the same table having a blast talking about family times, fun times that they have already been through and just being together at the fun BBQ and as Jade and Drake were sitting there talking the talked about family times and Jade mentioned one time about her dad overcooking the meet so much so that even the dog didn’t want it and as she heard Drake actually laugh out she looked to him asking him where the real Drake is at and what did this Drake do to him and as Drake looked to her he asked “What do you mean? I am right here” and Jade just looked to him “You sound happy so I was just curious” and as Drake looked at her his brow raised up and said “Well maybe I am, maybe I am not and just hiding behind the whiskey,” he stated as she laughed and said “there he is” as she playfully shoved a french fry in his mouth and laughed to him “Oh you are so going to regret that Morgan” and as she smiled to him and said “we will see about that” she looked over to Hana who was really enjoying her sloppy joe as she expressed that this was her first time ever having one and would not mind another if truth was to be told. Though as she looked up and showed everyone at the table that she had sloppy joe sauce on her cheek Drake stated that BBQ was a good look for her and he watched as Maxwell reached over cleaning her face for her gently and smirked shaking his head a little bit seeing the two falling for each other. Though as he then looked over to Jade she was smiling to Maxwell and Hana and her eyes just full of happiness for the two of them, and he saw the twinkle in her eye that this was something that she wanted, and that she desired. But he knew that her mind was still not made up but he knew how she felt for him and he knew that starting now he would have to show her just how much he does care without being too much. Though as he sat there watching her he watched her turn her attention to him and she asked him “what is it?” as she smiled that amazing smile that he knew that he loved and as he smiled to her “Oh nothing just was wondering if you wanted to get into the water…I mean you are dressed for it and I have my trunks on under my jeans” and as he smiled to her she smiled and said “What kind of day would it be at the beach and not go into the water” she said starting to stand up and soon all of them were cleaned up and starting to head towards a more secluded part of the beach not to disrupt anyone that was still eating or didn’t want to see them playing in the water. Though as they reached the area they saw that they were almost completely alone which was kind of nice.

Hana was over with Maxwell getting sunscreen put on when Drake started to head to the water and reach to take off his shirt, she yelled after him “Hey Mister don’t even think about going in there without protecting your skin” and as he looked to her shocked to hear that tone in her voice but slowly walked back towards Jade who had the other bottle in her hands “Yes mother” he said nodding towards Hana and Jade just laughed “You’ll need to take this off so I can lather you up” and Drake just smirked to her as she tugged on his shirt a little bit and he smiled and leaned it whispering to her “You know if you wanted to get me half naked…you just have to ask” and as she could feel the tickle of his breath on her neck she shivered but her hand trailed down his shirt to the hem and she slowly ran her fingers along the hem feeling just the sliver of skin there as she leaned in and said “Please…” and as she looked him in the eyes it took him literally seconds to get his shirt off with that look in her eyes. Once his shirt was off she began to have him turn away from her and as she saw the way that the muscles in his back flexed and released she gasped but shook her head knowing that she couldn’t respond this way not out in the open. Though as she started to apply the sunscreen on his back her soft fingers were tracing his muscles and slowly kneading them in a tiny massage as well as she worked it in over his whole back and he lower back seeing the two little dimples in his lower back and as she had him turn to her to do the front she let her hand trail just over the hump of his butt and as he faced her he caught her eyes right way growling a little bit in his throat. As she looked to him and then down his body she could feel her mind just starting to remember the closeness that they had before and the way that his body felt so good right on hers and the way that it got her so worked up, his body, his lips, his touch always set her body on fire. She looked to him and smiled as she started to apply the sunscreen to his chest and the front of his shoulders and sliding her hands down his arms, being so gentle with him and starting to trace every ab that was surely defined and as her hands started to run over the tight muscles of his abdomen right before his jeans she felt his body shiver under her touch as she then slowly and very secretively looked up to him and her hand slid just over the button and zipper of his jeans before she pulled her hand away.
Drake looked to her his breathing starting to hitch in his throat as he wanted to feel her hands on him again…all over him but knowing that he couldn’t do that with Hana and Maxwell right there playing around with the sunscreen, thanking god inside that they weren’t paying attention to the teasing that was going on with them “Do you want me to do you Morgan” and as she looked to him and caught the look in his eyes the desire look that she had seen once before, that moment in the wine cellar and as she smiled to him she leaned up whispering in his ear “You know how badly I would love that right now, but we have two sets of eyes too close by, so sadly going to have to wait just a little while more” and as Drake looked to her he smirked and said “You’re killing me Morgan…but I know what you mean you have to make up your mind first, but” and as he leaned in he whispered “I know that I can turn you on with just my touch, imagine how I can make you feel when I finally make love to you, if you let me” and with a moan released from her lips that were parted in shock she looked to him and her chest was heaving up and down from the anticipation of just his words affecting her “Now turn around its my turn” and she turned around he started to help her out of the cover up revealing her soft skin to the sun and soon he looked over to make sure that Hana and Maxwell were not looking and they were too busy chasing each other around and Maxwell tickling her and such that when he lowered himself to have her step out of the cover up he kissed her hip and then right on the hem of her bikini as she felt fire shooting through her body and she thought that her knees were going to buckle right then and there as he slowly started to massage a little bit of the sunscreen into her legs massaging them just a little bit though when he got to her thighs he whispered “open just a little bit for me” and she complied as she then felt his hands massaging the back, the front and then then between her thighs sending wave after wave of fire through her body right to her core. He then began to massage it into her back and shoulders and even her stomach but when he got to her chest seeing the way that the suit was a perfect fit there as well she looked to him giving him the okay and as his hand grazed over her soft flesh she reached out and grabbed his arm “I…” and as she looked to him feeling the way that her body was on fire she started to lean up to him knowing that she wanted to kiss him but as soon as she went to lean up she heard Hana yelling for them to get into the water. “Too bad we are not alone huh Morgan” and as she groaned he smiled to her and as she started to head to the water he gave her booty a little bit of a tap.

Soon though all of them were in the water splashing around playing chicken in which Maxwell and Hana won cause Jade couldn’t focus having Drakes head between her legs as she thought about all the times they were together and the dream that she had about them. Though when they lost Jade splashed Drake with a big splash in which he then grabbed her in the water and started to tickle her and as they were enjoying themselves and laughing Hana looked to her best friend and nudging Maxwell who looked over and smiled though was wondering if this was Jade making up her mind or if this was just two friends having fun. A few moments later they decided to race as Hana was going to judge and soon as they were racing and having fun Jade’s ankle cramped up on her and Drake came back for her though as he looked and seen they were far enough out to where no one would see he leaned in asking “will this help it” and as she looked at him he leaned in kissing her neck and collarbone to her jawline and right before he got to her lips Hana yelled out “DID YOU DROWN OUT THERE CAUSE I WILL COME IN AFTER YOU!” Drake rested his forehead to hers “Soon I hope we can have just a moment” and as he laughed starting to hold her as he swims them both back “You alright Jade” she asked right away “Yeah just got a cramp in the ankle….luckily I was so far ahead that when I got it Drake was able to catch up to get to me” and as he looked at her in a shocked look he shook his head as they all decided to take a little bit of a breather and just relax. About a half hour later Hana and Max got up to head back though Drake stayed there with Jade a little bit to make sure her ankle was okay though before getting up he looked to her “Here this is for you” and as she looked to him he was holding a jade colored granite stone that looked like a jade colored crystal “Oh my god its beautiful, thank you Drake” she said smiling to him leaning in and kissing his cheek as they then got up and started to walk back.

As they both headed back to the BBQ are and Jade went to get something to drink she turned to fast and ran right into Liam “Oh I am sorry Liam I just was walking to fast before my brain could catch up” and as he smiled to her he stated “No worries, you didn’t break me so I think we are alright. I was actually just getting ready to come find you. I was hoping that you were not too busy or too tired to come with me to Forgotten Falls” and as he looked to her he couldn’t hide the look in his eyes of sincerity that he wanted to spend some time with her. “Of course I will go with you, just lead the way” and as he smiled he looked to Bastien who nodded his head and they began walking away from the party and heading up a small trail leading to a small dense woods coated with trees until an opening appeared and right in front of them was the crashing waves of a waterfall. “This is amazing it’s so incredible here” and as she turned to look at him he reached out stroking her cheek “No the woman in front of me is incredible and might I say looking extremely sexy right now” and as she smiled to him trying to hide the blush on her cheeks his thumb traced over her bottom lip a little bit “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about your lips since the last time they kissed me” and as he looked to her she felt her heart flutter and her pulse increase a little bit as she closed her eyes feeling his lips press to hers in a sweet sentimental kiss, hungry but soft, deep but passionate. As she kissed him back she could feel her mind just spinning as he then pulled away and offered to go to the top and jump in and knowing that she needed to continue to expand out she accepted his hand as they headed to the top and soon holding hands as they jumped off together. After the excitement of taking the “Lovers plunge” as the sign at the top of the falls said Liam brought her close to him in the water and got her behind the falls in a small hidden alcove. As he sat down his legs still in the water he brought her down to his lap holding her there and though quiet for a few moments he leaned in kissing her shoulders a little bit. The softness of his lips making her feel more and more relaxed for him he leaned in and started to turn her to be sideways in his lap so he could look at her. “Jade, I, I wanted to thank you” and as she looked at him questioning why he continued “I wanted to thank you for actually getting to know me, well wanting to and actually care about me myself and not just me for my title. You have no idea how much of a breath of fresh air that you have been when you told me that you could see yourself falling for me. I know that sounds like a cheesy romance movie line but I mean it. I just, I want to give you everything of me right now and knowing that I can’t give my all to you without being unfair to the other ladies. As much as I like you and wish that I could just throw in the towel, I can’t now knowing that I am going to be King much faster than I thought. But I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t know if I could ever in my life make it up to you if I hurt you. So as hard as this is I am glad that we are really taking the moments that we have to spend time together and be with each other” and as he started to hold her more to him her mind started to wonder ‘why does he keep mentioning hurting me? He knows that I care about him so much and he claims to care about me too but the more that he mentions hurting me the more I wonder if I can hold out’ “Jade” and as she shook her head she looked into his eyes seeing those eyes looking back to her and she let reality hit that he is the King he has far more responsibilities to look after and she couldn’t be selfish or think that way about him. “I am sorry I…I just got in my head. You have so much going on and I thought for a moment that maybe you were trying to get me to not want to be with you” and Liam looked to her his eyes wide “Jade that is the last thing on my mind is losing you and sending you away, I care so much about you and like I said before I want nothing more than for this to end with us but I know how hard it is for you, I just hate that this might be hurting you that is all. Believe me I want you here…I want to be able to hold you, talk to you, laugh with you, kiss you, cuddle you, and someday I wanted to be the man you lay down with” and as he looked to her she felt her body shiver while his hand stroked her back “But only time will tell and I know that you have a heart to protect and I want you to be happy with anything that you choose” and as he smiled to her he leaned in pressing his lips to hers gently kissing her. She melted right then and there to his arms feeling those kisses on her lips she could feel the passion that was driving him to do so and as she started to turn to him a little bit she ended up straddling him as she kissed him more so as her arms wrapped around his neck and for once, she felt like it was her and him against the world, that they were the only two in the entire kingdom but she knew that it was not just her and him in her heart. Soon enough though he mentioned that they should get back before Bastien sent out the royal guard to look for him and right before heading back they stood in front of the falls again sharing another kiss as he thanked her again and then started to walk her back.

Though as they got closer to the BBQ and she saw that a lot of people had left there was only a few people hanging out and she knew that she had to go think, grabbing a whiskey from the bar she told Maxwell who was sitting with a sleeping Hana that she would be back soon and that she was just going to go for a walk and before Maxwell could give her the heads up that if she went back to where they were she wouldn’t be alone, Jade was already walking away and as he took a deep breath he knew that she would soon be sharing the beach with drake. As she walked and walked really taking her time and taking in the days events she was looking to her feet seeing the perfect tan sand that was going between her toes as she was carrying her sandals and as she stopped for a moment looking up to the sky she closed her eyes as she stared to pray to herself. Though her thoughts were cut short when she heard that same husky voice “Hey Morgan” and as she opened her eyes she looked and saw Drake sitting there in the side just far enough away from the tide when it came up to not be getting wet. “Oh..I didn’t know you were down here, you want me to leave you alone” and he shook his head immediately “No I am actually glad that its you to be honest, Maxwell was starting to prod into why I have been so happy lately” and as he smiled to her she couldn’t help but smile back and as she walked to him he stopped her from sitting down “How about a night swim? There are no sharks here so you don’t have to worry about being a course meal” and as he started to rise to his feet he started to unbutton his shirt and starting to get it off and starting to then pull his white shirt again over his head to reveal again those chiseled abs that she always gasped at. “Sure, I …I suppose that would be fun” and as she went to take her last sip of her whiskey Drake stopped her and slammed the rest back and as she looked to him with her jaw open in a surprised look he smirked and then said “Don’t worry I was going to share” and as she went to go ask how he was going to share now he leaned in crashing his lips to hers kissing her so passionately and deeply that the taste of the whiskey that was coating his lips seemed to just melt into her mouth as she started to feel his body against hers again his hands started to roam over the cover-up yet again starting to push it off her shoulders and down to the sand, though as he went to get his button on his jeans and as she kissed him back her hands worked like magic to get them down and off. Soon the kiss broke and they were both breathless looking to each other with that want, that need that desire. “Maybe we should get in before it gets too chilly to swim” and as she took in deep breathes she looked to him “yeah I think that you may be right” and for a few moments they just stood there before Drake took her hand and headed for the water.

For about 20 minutes they just floated there in the water and chased each other in the water, splashing each other again, doing diving contests and such just having a blast and being together. Though as the time clicked on and Drake was now trying to get Jade back for the splash of sea salt water splashing into his eyes for a moment, she swam to him to try and help but soon his arms were around her and tickling her right there as they stood in the shallow waters, the water up to his chest as he held Jade there he reached down and brought her legs to be around his waist causing him to grunt out a little bit “Couldn’t have you drown now shorty” and as she looked to him with her mouth in shock he said “What you are short, and it’s adorable, but I couldn’t be responsible for you freezing to death and I sure as hell cant be the reason you drown” and as he held her there he smiled to her feeling his arms around waist holding her right there. Though as she looked to him seeing the water dripping on his body and the way that the little beats of water traced his face she couldn’t help it, she had to kiss him again and so she did. She leaned in kissing him deeply as her hands ran into his hair and her lips danced on his.

Soon he couldn’t take it either as he started to kiss her back tenderly and deeply, sucking on her bottom lip before biting it just a little bit causing her to moan out “Drake” coming as a gasp of want and need all at the same time. He heard her moan out his name and it pushed him over the edge though he knew that he wanted to kind of step back a little bit to have her get more time with Liam to see what it is that she is really wanting but in this moment feeling her in his arms, her legs locked around his waist and the way that she was kissing him and causing her body to move on him over and over again he threw caution to the wind and as they were standing there in the water he lowered his hands to her hips a little bit more starting to line her core right up to where his tuned on self could then be closer to her without crossing that line. “Oh shit Morgan” as he felt just how little there was now between them and as he started to lean in kissing her she rotated her hips to him starting to grind to him a little bit as she threw her head back pressing her body into his even more. Soon he couldn’t take it he was kissing her jawline, her neck, her collar bone, her chest and starting to press his hips to her movements a little bit his hardness grinding right to her “Mmmm Drake that…oh god that feels so good” and as she whispered those words to him he felt his body just crumble and go weak with her again as he said “Hold on to me…I want to feel you” and as he let go of her with one hand holding her around the waist and she was holding to him closely she soon felt his hand slide up and down her thigh and start to slide over her waist line of her bikini and right to where their bodies were flushed together as he looked to her he let his fingers graze just a little bit over her swollen lips of her womanhood over the material of her bikini “Ohh mmm” she moaned out as he leaned in asking if this was okay and she nodded to him as he then continued. His fingers sliding up and down along her folds that held her most delicate area and soon he let his fingers hit her clit that was extremely swollen with the pleasure that she was feeling and as he looked at her facial reaction of being extremely turned on he captured her lips with his as his fingers began to draw circles around her clit and his hard on was pressing to her as well. Her breathing started to increase as she moved her hips to his hand trying to get him closer though there was no way as her nails dug into his shoulders as she was holding on to him she kissed him again moaning to his lips as he started to then use just his thumb on her core “God I want you so damn bad ” he whispered to her ear as she cried out into his shoulder her lips kissing his neck and soon as her body started to shake and her breathing again increased as though she was gasping for more air she rocked her hips to his hand as he continued and soon there she was again on that cliff right at the edge as she moaned out again “Oh Drake I’m going to mmmm” she gasped moaning into his lips as they crashed to hers again and then he said “Yes baby I want you too…don’t you dare hold back.” and as the words rushed over her like the water below with the way she was moving against him she took that step and let her body go, trembling as his thumb rubbed one, two, three more times before the wave of bliss blew over her as she arched her body back causing her to press her lower body to his hand and he could feel her climax hit with a force as she was breathing hard and deep, her body shaking in his arms as he held her and as she started to come down he leaned in kissing her deeply.
She held to him as her breathing started to finally slow down to a pace that was a little bit more calm and as she looked to him her cheeks flushed with a light pink in her cheeks though as she looked to him she ran her hand down his chest and started to play with the hem of his swim trunks though as she stated to trail her fingers just below he reached down stopping her, bringing her hand up and kissing it. “But I thought I could…” and as she looked to him he was smiling “Morgan as much as I would love to feel your hands on me, I just wanted to please you right now and help some of the stress wash away. When the time comes you will have your chance but right now I just wanted to make you feel good” and as he spoke his words were soft and gentle, and knowing that she had never had someone want to make her feel good like that and then not expect something in return was something she thought she would never have. Sure she had dated before but never anything serious and for sure nothing sexual and as she started to look at him seeing the gentle look in his eyes as he just held her there she could feel his manhood starting to calm down a little bit. “Drake how did I get so lucky,” and as Drake smiled to her he stated “Well Liam is a great guy, he can give you so much and your life would be filled with amazing things. I would say you are both pretty lucky to have found someone,” though as she heard him again speak of just Liam when he knows damn well that she feels for him too she looked at him “Drake I am lucky to have you too, don’t sell yourself short when you know that rich fancy things are not what I care about. I know that I have a huge decision to make by the end of the social season but I have already thought…” and as she went to continue Drakes phone started going off on the beach and as he looked at her he could grunt out loud starting to walk with her to the sand and starting to let her down. “I better get you back its Maxwell freaking out that he cant find you” and as he started to dry off a little bit and get his shirt back on she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind hugging him. “You are more than what you put out to be, you need to know that Drake” and as she held him she kissed his shoulder blade through his shirt. Hearing her talk like that gave his heart a quick beat as he thanked her and then started to walk her back.

A few moments later as they finally got back Drake walked her to her room and said goodnight knowing that he wanted more than anything to stay with her that night and be with her into the morning but knowing that it woulnt be fair to push her to spend more time with him, knowing that she was giving time to Liam when she could. But as she started to head into her room she turned and hugged him right there in the door way. “Don’t forget what I told you…I meant it” and as she looked to him it’s almost as if she didn’t have a care in the world as she leaned up kissing the corner of his lips “Goodnight Morgan” and as she smiled to him and shut the door she heard him walk away and started to head down the hall. Jade on the other hand headed to take a shower and as she was in there she thought about Drake and the way that his lips felt, his touch, the way that she felt so open with him. But then hearing the words from Liam that he wants it so much to be him and her at the end of this started to make her think about what she is going to do, how can she choose between two amazing men that have been nothing but amazing to her? Between the sweetness and charming ways of Liam and the brooding hard shell of Drake but seeing that sweet side of him, to knowing that they are both so loyal and both are not only attractive but wake up a side of her that she never thought she would feel. She started to sit sink down to the shower floor as she felt the tears coming. She wanted to just decide and pick one but she knew that she still hasn’t had enough time with Liam, and the time with Drake has been incredible to say the least. Though as she rested her head on her knees and felt the water hitting her back she took a deep breath she knew then and there she had to make a choice soon, knowing that neither of these guys needed to feel that hurt though she knew that it was going to be hard to tell one of them that she wanted to be with the other she knew that it had to be done.

As she finished her shower thinking and thinking over and over again her thoughts had hit a brick wall as she then started to get her pjs on and her robe sitting in the chair looking out the window but soon hearing a soft knock at the door. As she walked to it she wiped her eyes of the tears that she knew had fell a little bit as she was thinking and as she opened the door she opened it to the famous duo of Maxwell and Bertrand “Hey, hey Jade” Maxwell said looking ever so happy as he stepped into her room as Bertrand rolled his eyes. “I hope that we are not intruding but we wanted to talk to you a little bit about the next even that we are going to be a part of. It’s for the Apple Blossom Festival and over the next week you will be taught the exact importance of our Cordonian Ruby and the world that it stands for.” Bertrand started to talk to her a little bit more but her thoughts were drifting everywhere else but there “Now with it being so close to the end of the social season now it is more important than ever that you stand out to Liam, we want it to be you and him in the end, not just because you have come a long way but remember that House Beaumont is resting mostly on your shoulders. We know that you and Liam have a small history but that needs to shine through now more so than ever. Any chance that you get with him you take, and if you are going a day without spending a little bit of time with him make that time happen, steal the time if you have too” and as he continued to go on about how she needs to focus on just Liam she felt her heart breaking a little bit more knowing that she had feelings for two amazing men but hearing about how it is basically up to her to save House Beaumont she knew that she had to try and focus on Liam, for their sake…I mean it could work right? This could be what she really wants…isn’t it?
