The Bet (Liam x MC)

Prompt request from @princess-geek. #61 “What’s my prize?”

Warning: This one gets a little steamy at the end, nothing explicit though

~v~

Liam usually loves balls and formal gatherings. He loves meeting people, building connections for his country, and traveling.

But it’s day 3 of his stay in Spain, and he’s absolutely exhausted. He and Kendall embarked on a mini European tour, starting in Portugal and concluding in Italy.

Not only is he tired, but the events are downright boring. After a while, he gets tired of talking about politics with dukes and counts. The King Liam facade only lasts so long before the real Liam gets antsy.

They’re currently at a party being thrown in their honor at one of the opulent villas in Barcelona as the visiting monarchs, but actually enjoying the party is the furthest thing from his mind. He wants to be anywhere else. After traveling through Spain via train all day, he’s ready to decompress.

His Queen is a different story however. Despite being 15 weeks pregnant, she has more energy than she knows how to handle. She’s glowing, even. He watches as she effortlessly glides through the ballroom, her floor length gown sweeping the floor with each step. She’s like a magnet, attracting the attention of everyone around her. Everyone wants to be in her presence. Everyone wants to talk to her, whether it be about diplomacy or old fashioned gossip. He’s glad that at least she’s having a good time.

She must feel his gaze because she looks over and waves at him. He graces her with a smile in return. He sees her politely whisper something to the dignitary she’s talking to before excusing herself, walking over to him.

“Hi handsome.”

“Hello gorgeous,” Liam greets back. Instinctively, he wraps an arm around his wife’s waist pulling her close. “You’re the life of the party tonight.”

“I’m the life of every party,” Kendall corrects with a smirk.

“Of course.”

Kendall looks at her husband. He’s not his usual cheery self. “Is everything okay?”

“I’m just tired. And bored, if I’m being honest.”

Kendall frowns but she does notice the slight bags under Liam’s eyes and the lack of the usual enthusiasm. All of the travel is finally wearing on him. “I can get us out of here,” she says.

Liam chuckles. “It’s a party thrown in our honor, my love. And we aren’t on our home turf.”

“That’s never stopped us before.” Kendall reaches up and runs a thumb across her husband’s cheek. “I can get us excused within 5 minutes.”

“What if you can’t?” Liam challenges.

“Want to bet on it?”

“Sure. What’s my prize?”

“What do you want it to be?”

Liam goes silent, contemplating a response. “If you lose this little wager, you get to take my place in that meeting with Neville and Langdon next week.”

Kendall groans and drops her head against her husband’s chest. “You know how much I cannot stand that sniveling little toad.”

“I know. That’s why I’m putting you up to it.”

“Fine. But if I win, you have to promise to sneak away with me during this little trip for a few days. You, me, and a little house in Tuscany, overlooking the vineyards.”

Liam lifts Kendall’s hand and kisses it. “You drive a hard bargain. But you have yourself a deal.”

“Great.” Kendall’s eyes scan the crowd until they land on the monarch, King Felipe and his wife, Queen Letizia. They’re pleasantly conversing with someone. “Follow my lead. The clock starts...now.”

Kendall and Liam walk over to the other king and queen, hand in hand. Kendall sweeps into a curtsy, getting as low as her dress and new baby bump allow. “Your Majesties.”

“Ah, Queen Kendall!” Queen Letizia smiles at her. “You look radiant.”

“Thank you.”

“We hope you’re enjoying the party.”

“It’s lovely,” Kendall says. “And that’s why I feel so terrible.”

“What’s wrong, dear?”

“I’ve been trying to put on a brave face and ignore it, but I am feeling downright horrible right now.”

Worry flashes across Letizia’s face as she appraises Kendall. “What’s wrong? Is it the baby?”

Kendall’s body language shifts. The bubbly woman Liam saw a few minutes ago is gone. Her posture loosens, her body slacks against his. “I’ve been feeling nauseous all day. I’m usually able to handle it, but it’s actually kicked up tremendously now that I’m my second trimester. And no one really mentions all of the aches and pains you feel, and I think all of this travel is wearing on me.”

Letizia nods understandingly, having had two children herself. “Please, please go get some rest.”

Kendall rests a hand on the small swell of her belly. “Are you sure? You went out of your way to throw us such a lavish party.”

“As the Queen, I insist. You go inside and get some sleep. We’ll have this party cleared out soon enough. King Liam, you go take care of your wife.”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

Kendall and Liam bow and hastily make their exits, avoiding people who would try to talk to them. Bastien keeps a safe distance behind them, but he follows them until he sees them disappear into the villa and upstairs to their suite.

Kendall flings the door open, giggling like a little kid. Liam watches her in amusement, and softly shuts the door behind him, locking it. “So? How did I do?”

Liam checks the time on his watch. “I’m impressed. You managed to do that in less than 5 minutes.”

“So I win.”

“You win,” Liam confirms with a soft smile. He meets his wife halfway in a quick kiss.

Kendall pulls away. “As the winner, I think I’d like to add one more prize.”

“And what would that be, love?”

“I decree that the loser of this bet should make love to his wife. If he’s up for it.”

“Oh the king is always up for that.”

Liam backs Kendall into the wall closest to the door and he captures her lips in another kiss, this one much more heated than the last. His hands find her hips and he pulls her flush against him, groaning at the contact.

He leaves feather light kisses on her cheek until he reaches the spot below her ear. He feels her shudder against him. “Have I told you how absolutely stunning you look tonight?”

“Multiple times,” Kendall replies breathlessly. Liam bites down on her earlobe and she gasps. “Though I won’t be opposed to hearing it again.”

“You’re beautiful, my queen,” Liam whispers into her ear. He lifts one of her legs and bunches up the hem of her very expensive gown. One of his hands slips beneath the dress, fingers gliding along the silky skin of her leg, as Kendall writhes under him. As he gets further and further along, he’s shocked to discover nothing but warm and wet flesh instead of one of the scraps of fabric she deems underwear. “You don't have anything on under this dress.”

Kendall nods and arches her hips forward, silently begging to be touched. “I know.” Liam doesn’t take the hint, stopping his ministrations.

Realization dawns on him. Liam chuckles and continues his previous activities, his fingers lazily running up and down her center, not really doing much but coaxing small whimpers and groans out of her nonetheless. “I’m starting to think you had that little escape planned out all evening. It wasn’t something you came up with when you saw me, huh?”

Kendall’s smirk is all the confirmation he needs. “And what if I did?”

God, did he absolutely adore this woman. “Then you’re more clever than you get credit for being, my queen.”

“Damn right, I am.”

“Now, I believe I was in the middle of giving you your prize.”

But tonight, they’re both winners.

The 10 Best Royal Maternity Style Moments Ever

From whimsical, floor-skimming gowns to casual separates worn to panels and meetings, the royals always seem to interpret the dress code just right. But dressing a baby bump provides an added challenge, and we give major snaps to the women who have pulled it off in the public eye with style and grace.

Kate Middleton makes the choice to go bold when she's expecting, opting for bright coats and even leopard print. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle drew attention to her growing belly thanks to a high-waist silhouette and a striking leg slit. Did they take a tip from Princess Diana, who decided to flaunt polka dots and open-toed sandals at the polo while pregnant with Prince William? She might not have always chosen gowns, but her carefully selected, breezy designs proved she paid close attention to fashion trends at every point in her life.

Then we have Princess Mary of Denmark and Queen Letizia of Spain, who know it's all about sticking to your uniform and go-to colors for appearances, through and through. It goes without saying that all of the royals here from around the world deserve extra attention for these sophisticated outfits they wore ahead of maternity leave. Read on to see the 10 best looks, in our opinion, and weigh in to let us know your own favorite in the comments.
