Chapter 30

Bree

Bree’s eyelids were so very heavy from having stayed up all night and then some. She’d managed to grab a few hours of sleep, but she had tossed and turned through most of it. Her skin felt abuzz with electricity, and memories from the ball kept whispering through her mind. And memories from the moments after.

At one point, she could have sworn that Rafe was going to kiss her.

And then he’d gotten shot.

Not that kissing Rafe would have been a good idea. In fact, it was a terrible one. It was just that sometimes terrible ideas felt much more enticing than good ones.

A knock sounded on her door, and she groaned. It was probably her breakfast. Right on time. She wasn’t ready to see anyone just yet, not even for food. Last night, Taveon had stopped by to tell her that Rafe was completely healed now and resting in the Prince’s chambers. But she’d worried all night, and now she was exhausted because of it.

With a sigh, she threw her legs over the side of the bed and padded barefoot to the door. She wore a thin black nightgown that she’d found in the cupboard, one that barely hit the top of her thighs. Normally, she wouldn’t even answer the door for her breakfast in this, but she was far too weary to make the effort to change right now.

When she pulled open the door, Bree sucked in a strange little gasp through her nose. Lord Dagen’s eyes went wide, and he let out a low whistle as his gaze ripped down her body. Her cheeks flamed, her grip tightening around the doorknob.

“Good morning, Bree. I can see I have caught you at a bad time.” He tried to crane his head around the door. “Have I interrupted something? Is anyone else here?”

Her neck flushed with even more heat. “No one is here. I was just in bed. Sleeping.”

Dagen’s head jerked to the side so he could stare down the corridor, and he suddenly pushed through the door, slamming it shut behind him. “There were some guards coming. I did not wish for them to see me entering your quarters.”

She narrowed her eyes, backing up, her thighs hitting the bed. “Why are you here?”

He strode closer, bracing a hand on the wooden bedpost. “I gave you these elaborate quarters, and then I invited you to be my companion at the ball. And now, I am here in your room while you stand there in that delicious little outfit. Some might say I have come to claim what you owe me for that.”

Anger boiled in Bree’s veins, and she had the sudden urge to slap him as hard as she could. Right on the face. And then maybe punch him in the nose.

He chuckled. “Relax, Bree. I am not that kind of male. I would never want to be with a woman who did not whole-heartedly want to be with me. That said, some may say that is precisely why I am here.
