Chapter One | Pleasure vs Duty

“Disobedience is my joy!”

🌹Rose🌹

"Rose, you are to be on your best behavior at the gala." Charles, the Prince of Wales said.

"Okay, father." Rose said as she rolled her eyes.

"Now let's go." He said as he lead her out of the car and into the building.

Rose forced a bright smile. She waded into the chaos, shaking hands with the Prime Minister and a few Sir This-or-Thats with their trophy wives, some important nobilities that Rose had tuned out.

There were a thousand photo-ops, expertly dry conversations, and by the time she was halfway through the rounds, Rose was dehydrated. She excused herself to the bar, ordered a glass of water, and was just turning around to return to the fake group of people when she crashed into someone.

"Oh my God! Oh my God… I'm so clumsy, I'm so sorry, I didn't – "

"It's alright, Your Highness, nothing was spilled."

"Oh, Prince Thorbjørn, I did not know you would be here tonight." Rose said as she looked up at the older royal.

"Neither did I." Thorbjørn said, smiling.

"Well, I have to get to playing hostess. See you around, Thorbjørn." Rose said, walking away.

Rose couldn't help biting her cheek as she kept stealing glances at him as she got back to her rounds, to see if he was talking to anyone else.

But while women continually appeared, drawn by the same reason she was, none of them seemed to get very far.

"Rose, we must leave now." Her father said.

"Really, I was having so much fun." Rose said, sarcastically.

"There will be more galas in your future, Rose." Her father said, not catching Rose's sarcasm.

"Are you serious? Why do I have to go on this tour? Can't Harry and Meghan do it?" I asked as I sat across from my private secretary.

"Her Majesty has given you this tour because your workload hasn't been full enough as it should be for a full time royal. Harry and Meghan already have an upcoming tour and on their honeymoon so no more complaining." Helene, my private secretary answered.

"Fine, I'll do it." I said.

"Good, now we need to pack your outfits and pick a tiara for you to wear for the official dinner." She said.

"Oh, Granny is letting me wear a tiara." I said.

"Yes, she is but it's more of a bribe." She said.

"What kind of bribe?" I asked.

"You can only wear the tiara if you are on your best behavior during the tour and promise to commit more to your royal duties." She replied.

"Fine, but what tiara do you think she'll let me wear?" I asked.

"You've truly outdone yourself this time, little brother," Haakon grumbled, a soft curse under his breath before throwing a sideways glare my way. "Above and beyond." He added.

A roll of his tired eyes before lowering his sunglasses was the only response Thorbjørn could muster at an early hour like this on a Monday.

Aside from the harsh sunlight battling the tinted windows of the black SUV, the hazy state of his brain had certainly left him in no mood for a lecture or an honor inspired chat - especially one that was clearly about to be riddled with rather specific vocabulary and those well known accusations he truly couldn't care less about.

Well, at least that's how he was planning on stubbornly playing this.

"Been fighting cameras and reporters all morning," Haakon continued, silencing his cellphone as the vehicle rounded the corner of a palace surface road. "It's an absolute royal mess, Thorbjørn." He said.

Haakon slammed the car door behind him the instant the ignition shut off and was currently storming angrily into one of the concealed doors at the palace's back entrance.

"You can't keep acting this way, Thorbjørn," Haakon finally said, rubbing his eyes in frustration. "Not with the reporters so interested in the happenings around here and what with the uk state visit coming up- Forsake, Thorbjørn you're 40 with no children or wife. Grow the hell up already!" He exclaimed.

"Enough Haakon." Thorbjørn shouted.

"Fine, but Princess Rose of Wales will be here tomorrow and you will be playing host for Her Royal Highness." Haakon said.

"What? No, I have plans." Thorbjørn said.

"It's an order from father, Thorbjørn." Haakon said.

"Fine." Thorbjørn said.

👑Thorbjørn👑

It was the second night of the three day state visit to Norway and Rose had about enough of the royal scene and was ready to have some fun.

Rose had sneaked out with one of her protective officer, Luke who has been like a brother to her also her partner in crime for things like this.

Luke and Rose entered the Norwegian nightclub. The air was steamy and warm, almost sticky to the naked skin of her bare arms.

The music was loud, people were everywhere, dancing, drinking, making out in the corners.

Thorbjørn's hair was messy, and he was sweating. His sight was blurry and unsteady, his thoughts weren’t clear, but his smile was wide.

He was standing a few meters away from the DJ, with a couple of his friends, not paying attention to the conversation they were holding.

The glass cup in his hand was empty since a while, but he didn’t really care. Actually, his mind was focused on something else.

Someone else.

Princess Rose, dancing a couple meters away from him. She was moving her body sensually to the rythm of the music, rolling her hips in a delicously teasing way.

Several young pretty men dancing with her. Well more like rubbing against her.

Thorbjørn breath hitched as his eyes met Rose’s for a brief second, before the blonde-ish hair of a guy cut off his sight. This girl was literally dry humping her, yet she didnt seem to show any interest and kept dancing.

Thorbjørn swallowed thickly and made his way bewteen Rose’s stans, pushing them aside without any apologies, and finally arrived next to Rose. He hesitated for a short second, then grabbed Rose’s arm and forced her to face him. Their eyes met, and Rose grinned.

“Hello, Your Highness.” Rose said with a drunk-low voice.

“Dance with me.” Thorbjørn said, not waiting for Rose’s answer. He grabbed her hips and pulled her closer, so that her back was brushing against his chest.

A short moan escaped Rose’s mouth, and she started dancing along, and it felt like there was no one around them, only their warm bodies, the loud music and this thick tension building more and more with each of their movements.

Thorbjørn’s hand brushed against Rose wrist, and he let his fingers run up her arm, sending shivers through her spine, and he rested his hand on the bottom of Rose's neck.

Rose licked her lips and placed one hand behind Thorbjørn’s neck, pulling him closer and closer until their foreheads touched. They could feel each other’s heavy breathes, and when their eyes met, they were glowing with desire.

Thorbjørn let out a groan before he crashed his lips on Rose's, cupping her jaw while his other hand grabbed her back to pull her closer.

Rose let out a loud moan, her free hand caressing Thorbjørn’s abs. She parted her lips, her tongue begging for entrance, and deepened the kiss. She felt the older man’s lips stretch in a smirk, and he pulled her even closer.

Their hips were rubbing, rolling in a demanding friction, making Thorbjørn's manhood grow hard. Thorbjørn broke the kiss to whisper into Rose's ear, in a husky voice that made her shiver, “Let’s get out of here, Rose.”

The Rose didn’t hesitate a single second and grabbed Thorbjørn’s wrist, leading him away from the shocked guys that were rubbing against her a few minutes ago. As soon as they walked through the overcrowded place, Rose gave Luke the signal to return to the palace as she and Thorbjørn went out through the back door, they found themselves in an emply corridor.

Thorbjørn slammed Rose against a cold wall and kissed her again. Hard. Their tongues met in a burning desire, and Thorbjørn slipped one leg between Rose’s, pressing his hard-on against Rose’s thigh. Rose moaned shamelessly, and tilted her head to kiss Thorbjørn harder.

The kiss was wet and sloppy, tasted like alcohol, was so wrong yet felt so right. Thorbjørn slipped his lips to Rose’s neck, kissing and biting the tender skin until he found her sweet spot above her collar bones, and Rose’s breath hitched. “Fuck, oh fuck...” she groaned.

"Let's get out of here." Thorbjørn groaned.

Rose furiously kissing his neck. As soon as he closed the door behind them, Rose got once again slammed against the closest wall, and next thing she knew her skirt was gone and Thorbjørn was kneeling in front of her, removing her undergarments.
