One Night with the Prince by T.M. Mendes Read Free Book Online Page B

scoff.
     
    Boys.
     
    Rolling my eyes I take my own initiative and walked further into the yard, ignoring the looks of others.
    　
    Smiling, I walked over to the swords and pick one up and it’s beautifully made. I read a few books on swords and the craftsmanship of them. I also took a class on swords fighting when I reached my peak in MMA class.
    　
    The sword glinted in the sunlight and I couldn’t stop smiling. I haven’t practiced with one in almost 2 weeks! I missed it. The handle was a golden color and had a crest on it, which would probably be the family crest.
    　
    I turned to the guy next to me who was looking at me with a smug expression. Oh! I definitely have to take him on! I can’t stand men with big egos! I smirked at him.
    　
    “Want to go one on one with me big guy?” I asked sweetly. He chuckled and swallowed loudly looking me over. I wanted to punch him in the face, but I’d settle for beating him at his own game.
    　
    “Sure sweetheart. I can show you the ropes.” He smirked, obviously thinking I like him or something. Ha! I walked back over to the group and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. Well, they should know by now that I am!
    　
    I was struggling with the stupid protective gear that was ridiculously out of date but looked cool. Suddenly I felt hands gently take the breastplate and lifted it and placed it in the right way. I looked up to see Zach there with a small smile on his face. I blushed as his fingers grazed my neck sending shocks through me. Must be the static.
    　
    Once I’m suited up properly I see Dem smirking knowingly at me. I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs. Zach hands me a wooden sword and I scoff.
    　
    “If I wanted a wooden one I wouldn’t have grabbed this one.” I say looking pointedly at the sword lying by my feet. I pick it up and start to make my way over to Mr. Big dude, when I feel Zach pull me back, making my knees go weak for a spilt second when he touches my bare skin on my arm. Dang him! I turn around and glare at him.
    　
    “If you’re so worried then why don’t you go against me?” I challenged. He looked at me in shock, but I could see amusement dancing in his eyes.
    　
    “I don’t think that’d be a good idea Anna.” He said. The way he said my name made me want to shiver but I held back, but just barely. I narrowed my eyes at him.
    　
    “What? Too afraid I’ll beat you?” I said condescendingly. He looked at me for a moment before smirking, trying not to laugh.
    　
    “Alright. Let’s do this shall we?” He turns to get the gear on himself and when he does my mouth watered slightly at the side of him. I shook my head to stay focused. Doesn’t matter if he’s eye candy, he’s still arrogant to me.
    　
    Everyone cleared the field and gave us a wide circle. He’s in for a rude surprise. He backs away from me holding eye contact, which didn’t help my train of thought at all. His eyes were so piercing I felt like he was really looking at me.
    　
    We start to circle each other, and I can see he’s surprised when I mimic his movements fluidly. Yeah, that’s right fool! He makes a move towards me and I step back out of the way while doing a spin so I could come back around quickly making contact with his sword, with him blocking me. Now he looked down right shocked, as my face was inches away from his.
    　
    “Rethinking saying yes to me Zach?” I grunt out. Wow, sexy Anna! Note the sarcasm. We both push back and circle around again.
    　　
    “Not even for a second. I have to say, you’re full of surprises and I’m intrigued to find more.” He smirked. Why did that thought of him finding more about me send butterflies to my stomach? I regained myself . 　
    　
    “Who said I’d let you find out?” I said as I made another lunge at him. He barely dodged it, and I smiled to myself. He huffed out a breath circling me. I let him instead of following his step. I had a plan and it was up to him to take the
