The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 299

“No,” I laugh, wrinkling my nose at him and smacking him playfully on the chest. “I don’t want to give you any encouragement.”

Luca growls, snatching me closer, willing me to tell what I’m thinking. And I can’t help it – I just laugh and lean back against his arm. “I kind of like it when you’re bossy with me,” I whisper, blushing a little because I’m not sure I even knew I liked that. And I’m sure I wouldn’t like it with anyone else, not at all.

But with Luca?

He just groans, his eyes fluttering half shut, tugging me closer and taking a long languid sniff of my scent. “I’ll boss you around all you want, Princess,” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to my shoulder. “I’ll even –“

“Not in real life,” I say, pointing my finger into his face and narrowing my eyes. “Just in bed. Or…locker room. As it were.”

Luca grins, and nods once, and snaps his teeth just millimeters from the edge of my finger, making me jump and laugh again.

But then we both jump, and then go still, at the pounding at Luca’s locker room door.

“Your grandmother is waiting for you, Luca!” his uncle’s voice shouts from the other side.

And I gasp and press my hands to my mouth because – oh my god, because I completely forgot. Completely lost entire track of the world outside of this room, if I’m being honest.
