that she was living under the same roof as he was?

Torture.

The very best and worst kind, and from the very first night she had moved in, Altair had found himself unable to sleep. Thoughts of the princess sleeping in a room right next to his had him taking cold showers every damn night. It was a remedy that used to work, but nowadays, all it managed was make his arousal subside for a few minutes...and then it was back up again, his cock straining and throbbing painfully for Safiya's virginal pussy.

Day after day, his hunger for her flesh grew, and it did not help at all that the princess had taken to parading her body in front of him in peignoirs that barely covered anything. If they were not so sheer they were practically transparent, they would be cut so low that her beautiful tits seemed in danger of falling out at any second.

He wanted her so much it was driving him crazy, but still he held himself back. He wanted her. Needed her. Was more than halfway to falling in love with her. But until he was unable to say he trusted her completely—-

He just could not...and would not...take what should only be claimed by someone who belonged to her heart and soul.

SAFIYA WAS NOT THE type to complain or take things for granted. The life she had led made it impossible for her to do so even if she wanted to. But lately, she had become increasingly restless and frustrated, and there were even a few shameful instances when she found herself actually lashing out against the sheikh for no reason.

There was just something about him that had started rubbing her wrong, but when she closed her eyes and tried to imagine a life without the sheikh, the thought alone had her heart breaking into pieces. She loved him still, that much was clear. So why then did her leash on her temper drastically shorten every time she was in the sheikh's company?

Day after day, something inside of her burned hotter, and the only time she didn't feel like she was about to explode was when she was in the sheikh's arms. When Altair was kissing her and touching her...when his mouth was on her breast, or when her lips were wrapped around his cock...those were the only times that the fires inside of her died down.

But as soon as they were apart, their bodies no longer in contact, the flames burned anew, and she actually found herself wanting to punch and kick something. Anything to get rid of the unbearable sensation of restlessness seething inside of her.

Because it was not in her nature to just trust anyone and ask for help, it took a long time for Safiya to admit to herself that she could not solve her problem all on her own. She needed someone to confide in, and when she finally mustered the courage to speak of her concerns to Ella and Aurora during one of their lunch breaks...

The two had taken one look at her, and then they had burst into giggles, both girls so overcome with laughter that they even had tears running down their cheeks.

And because Safiya truly did not get what was so funny about her anger issues, seeing her friends doubled over in laughter had her floundering between confusion and annoyance. Did they not realize how serious this was? She had always been calm and reasonable, and the sheikh was her beloved hero. How in the world had she suddenly ended up wanting to scream at him—-

"Fiya?"

Aurora's voice was a little unsteady, and her shoulders still shaking with mirth as she wiped the tears from her eyes. But she was fairly confident she had herself under control now...or at least she did until she saw her friend look at her, and oh dear God...

Who knew Pissed-And-Confused Safiya could look this cute?

Safiya threw her hands up in frustration when her friends started laughing again. "I don't understand—-"

"Clearly," Ella couldn't resist saying, and when this made the other princess look ready to throttle her—-

Ella and Aurora laughed even harder, but because they also knew that Safiya was this close to throwing her salad plate at them—-

"You're horny," Aurora finally managed to say between giggles.

Safiya's jaw dropped, and another round of laughter started anew.

"That's all there is to it," Ella promised with a snicker. "Get your sheikh to pop your cherry, and your, um, anger issues—-"

Aurora totally lost it again with the other
