CHAPTER SIX

The door between Akaba’s room and hers was closed. Yet, Danielle could still feel his presence as if he lay in the bed with her.

Heat seared her cheeks at the thought. This evening at the fountain, she’d succumbed to the lure of the prince. Basking in his appreciation for her, caught up in the intrigues of his world, upset for the lack of concern for his sister’s disappearance, and drawn in by his allure.

Had Monsieur Dubois not arrived, she would have let him kiss her. Not just let him but would have kissed him back. Perhaps even they would have returned to this room, and maybe—

Danielle pushed aside the blanket and sheets and rose from the bed. She padded over to the window on bare feet and stared out at the night landscape.

Had she done that, she would have settled for less than his heart. A man’s desire couldn’t ever be enough. Until the moment she surrendered to his dark mesmeric power, she hadn’t realized just how strong the prince’s allure could be. She’d been swept away by the moonlight, the fountain, the still image of lovers forever clasped in rapture.

His voice.

His beauty.

His essence.

In that moment, she’d wanted it all. It was then she realized she wanted his heart. Wanted assurance of his love for her. This mission hadn’t started with love in her heart.

Or had it?

Frowning, she pressed her forehead on the window, feeling the coolness. Could she have yielded to the prince if there wasn’t more than a passing interest within her? Men had admired her for years, but never once, until now, had she wanted to be kissed and claimed by them in such an overt way. Maybe this kernel of…whatever this was…. had started all those years ago, when the prince had made it clear to her mother that he would have her.

Roseline had done all she could to prevent her daughter from wanting the prince. It wasn’t enough. Time and distance were overcome and here she was, the protector of his life.

Maybe her life was predestined. Maybe all signs of control were only illusionary. The path was set and no matter what one did, you could not veer from it.

Whatever it was, she didn’t know.

Danielle bowed her head. She would protect the prince’s body from harm as they searched for his sister. It remained to be seen who would protect her heart from him.
