Michelle Smart - Talos Claims His Virgin

Prince’s scandalous night with the innocent

Talos Kalliakis, the youngest Prince of Agon, has found the perfect gift for King Astraeus’s jubilee gala—the talents of exquisite violinist Amalie Cartwright. The warrior prince crossed Europe to find his perfect candidate, and he won’t take no for an answer!

But rumor has it that Amalie won’t perform, and now Talos has her hidden away in his villa, where sources suggest he’s claimed the most private of performances. With tensions running high, surely it can’t be long before they start changing their tune…to the royal wedding march!

‘You feel naked?’ Talos asked evenly.

He, more than anyone, knew how the imagination could run amok—how the fear of the unknown could be so much worse than reality. He also knew how he could help Amalie take the first step to overcome it.

‘Yes,’ she whispered.

The strange distance Amalie had seen settle over him dissipated. His attention on her was focused and strong.

‘Then there is only one solution. You must be naked.’

‘What …?’

But her solitary word hardly made it past her vocal cords. Talos had leant forward and pulled his shoes and socks off.

What was he doing?

His hands went to his shirt. Before she could comprehend what she was seeing, he’d deftly undone all the buttons.

‘What are you doing?’

He got to his feet.

If she hadn’t already pressed herself against the wall she would have taken a step back. She would have turned and run.

But there was nowhere for her to run to —not without getting past him first.

You are formally invited to the Jubilee Gala of His Majesty King Astraeus of Agon as he commemorates 50 years on the throne.

CHAPTER ONE

TALOS KALLIAKIS DIPPED his head and rubbed the nape of his neck. The consultant’s words had cut through to his marrow.
