256 This Prince!

"Hello, Cullen." 

"Your, Your... Highness. 

While Cullen wore his stupefied look, Owen arched his brows at him with a playful knowing smirk on his handsome face. 

"I wonder why you are so dumbstruck at seeing me?"

"Prince Owen, I... I never expected you of all people to be standing out my door." Cullen quickly composed himself and spoke politely to the prince. "What are you doing here?"

"Hmm, not inviting me in?"

"Oh sorry. I... "

As Cullen stuttered his words, Owen took the time to scan this young man closely. 

His eyes moved down from his face to his shirtless chest to his trousers. 

'Okay, he looks like someone who just got up from resting.' Owen thought and just as he was about to peel his eyes away from his legs, his eyes caught sight of a bulge. 

Quickly he returned his gaze to Cullen's groin and a certain knowing smile curved up his lips as he brought his gaze back up to meet Cullen's. 

Cullen who had been watching the Prince scan him like a child who was eyeing a treat with a wide grin followed his gaze back up and their eyes locked. 

The look on Owen's face almost made him want to disappear suddenly. 

'Darn he found out.' Cullen almost cursed himself because he was found out my the Casanova Prince. 

"It was useless thinking you could hide that from me," Owen said pointing at Cullen's groin."

"I wasn't even trying. I'm sorry but you can't come in now your highness. As much as I am honoured to receive you my place is not fitting right now."

"Okay. Anyways, what I came here for was short and precise. Father gave the go-ahead to aid East Bane and do proper investigations."

"Wow, congrats, your highness."

"Why are you congratulating me? It was your idea."

"I am happy enough that my suggestions helped, besides it would help the people and Evelyn. That alone is my praise, the joy of helping others."

"You are too good for your own good. That is not why I came here in person though."

It was Cullen's turn to arch his brow at him as he raised one hand and placed on the door frame. 

"Humor me, why?"

"You may not like what I am going to say considering, you know." Owen pointed at Cullen's groin again to emphasize his unspoken point. 

'Would he stop doing that!' Cullen half yelled in his mind. He was losing it with Owen pointing at his hard-on every now and then. 

Needless to say, he never said anything about it. Instead, he became more serious. 

"What is wrong, your highness?" His brows deepened into a frown as he stared deeply at the Prince's eyes. 

Owen let out a deep shy before drawing the straw that broke the camel's back. 

"We leave for East Bane immediately."

"What!"

"I told you, you wouldn't like it," Owen added and shrugged at the dazed young general. 

"If we leave now, we make it by noon and can start investigations quickly."

"Oh, Owen!" His eyes dropped closed as he took in a deep breath, inhaling sharply and releasing it slowly as his mind processed everything.

"I am sorry. I know you were having a good time, but you can continue when we return."

"And when would that be?"

"I have no idea. Possibly in a week's time."

"What!!"

"Hey quiet down, would you. We do not want Erwina catching wind of this." Owen cautioned Cullen as his gaze trailed off in the passageway. "

Fine," Cullen agreed and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Look at you, what a young general you are. We haven't even started our journey and you are mega tired." Owen teased.

He was trying his best to lighten the young general's mood as best as he could. He knew if he was the one in that situation, he may have done worst and probably slam the door at the face of whoever it was that disturbed him.

Here was Cullen who couldn't do much or such because he was asked by the prince and his duty is to the kingdom first before anybody or any other thing.

This was one thing he knew and for that he'd readily do.

Owen watched him as he dropped his other hand holding the door over his face and let out another sigh.

Yeah, he was asking a difficult thing and the annoying part was that they needed to leave now.

"Oh and do not bother packing anything. I have everything packed for us, including new pairs of clothing as I want us to do this quick before Erwina realizes we are gone."

"Why didn't you inform me sooner?" Cullen complained.

This was a first. It was so rare to see the young general complain about anything and Owen just found it mega funny. Rather than laugh it out, Owen tried his best putting up a serious front.

"I just got the news from father and I intended on sending a servant to inform you but I got too busy and it escaped my mind."

"Okay."

"What is wrong?" Owen asked him giving him a questioning look.

"How do I tell her this?"

"Simple, just the same way I did."

"I am serious, your highness."

"Fine. I give you ten minutes to wrap things up."

0_0

"What? Okay, fifteen." Cullen could not say anything but arched his brow at Owen.

In fact with the things he came to say, that was already a huge turn off for him but the thought of his lover naked in bed and awaiting him did not let his hard-on to calm down, instead, it raged on.

"What, with the way you are rock hard now, you can't last too long before you explode in her. Except you would still be firm and not stop till you come multiple times."

What the... This prince!

"That's it, bye."
