5. Beautiful Lover
Kerrien had to admit that Rithvik was a skilled swordsman and a great rider. He had the right muscles and knew the right moves. He could ride for miles without complaining. He could read and write. Maybe not everything was lost for the fallen prince. He could earn a living as a mercenary. Maybe even thrive better than Kerrien ever did.
After discovering how long he'd slept, Rithvik lost some of his cheerfulness. He spoke less and asked questions about the mercenary life. He requested lessons for things he didn't know how to do â like sewing or shaving â and was a quick learner, much like Kerrien had been when he'd left his war-torn hometown.
One month constantly together, and Kerrien was getting used to Rithvik's presence. The new melancholy of the fallen prince made him even more beautiful and the green eyes seemed to ask Kerrien always the same thing, When do we get intimate, my grumpy mentor?
Kerrien felt uneasy under that stare. He hoped that at Salamar he could find a magician or a wizard who could free him of his burden. He knew about a magic user who had paired with former Caer Nittak prince Kolia Albright â the brain and the brawn.
Kerrien had seen them in the streets of Salamar during the years, but had never really tried to talk to his sister's betrothed. He'd always wondered how Kolia had escaped from Caer Nittak, but had assumed it was thanks to Joris's magic powers.
Maybe Joris could help him to find Belfi or get rid of Rithvik with his magic that escaped Kerrien's comprehension. He still couldn't understand how he'd awakened the beautiful sleeper and wondered if Rithvik was really, truly innocuous now, magic-wise. The prince had admitted to attending a school of magic, but hadn't shown any magic skills so far.
Rithvik became a little bolder every day. Even though they'd settled for a "we're on the same level, so no reward system" mode, the prince still looked as if he wanted something every now and then. Kerrien had always been shy on compliments and wasn't going to start making them now. He'd seen too many lecherous men and women who spent their lives kissing asses and lying.
Even though sometimes he really wanted to kiss Rithvik's gorgeous ass, he wasn't going to turn into a groveling servant. Rithvik was slowly shedding his royal pride and Kerrien thought he was becoming an even more dangerously charming man.
When they were only one day away from Salamar, as they camped under the stars, Rithvik nestled against him to sleep, and Kerrien couldn't push him away. He kept falling asleep with the prince and that night he dreamed of them together in a wonderful castle. They were surrounded by gorgeous male servants and nobody glared at their obvious love.
He woke up with that warm body against his and met the adoring stare of the green eyes.
"Morning," Rithvik whispered in the first light of dawn. "Before we reach the big city,
