Chapter 16

Taka knew that somehow he had to make Violet see the light but he had no idea how. Subtlety was never his strong point. A king didn’t have time to be subtle—an immortal king on a mission, even less. But apparently regular men had all sorts of time to pussyfoot around. He would have to pussyfoot like a regular man if he had any hope at all.

They were at a charming place called Franklin Park. The newspaper had told him it was the month of May and the green grass and lush trees almost made him feel at home. Taka breathed the fresh, clean air and felt his resolve return to him as though nature was rewarding his effort. That was, until they sat down on a blanket Violet had pulled from the car trunk and his concentration scattered at the sight of her copper brown legs in the insanely short pants stretched out before her. He’d tried to ignore the healthy, moist skin since she’d first emerged from the bedroom but here she was, flaunting the legs again; her calves a song in smoothness, her thighs silky with just the right amount of curve, hinting at the round behind that sat on top. It was almost cruel the way she taunted him.

“Boy, you were serious about liking my body, huh?”

He looked up quickly to find her knowing smirk. Darned if her mischievous grin wasn’t as attractive as her legs.

“I do not notice,” he bluffed, pulling off his own coat as he was suddenly hotter despite the breeze. He folded it by his side with stiff hands before responding, resisting the need to raise his voice again. “What matter is it to notice? It will be gone soon enough. You will be rid of the burden of your insufficient body before you can say ‘snap, snap.’” There. Managed to get it out without allowing her to see how upset it made him. He was well on his way.

“Gee, King, I’d almost think it was your body I was changing the way you’re making such a big deal. I don’t hate it. I just want it thinner. Sue me. Forgive me for wanting to be able to eat freely for a change.”

It was his body! Violet pulled her knees up to wrap her arms around them, reeling in his gaze to the expanse of skin and the lovely face on top. Do not lose focus, he scolded himself.

“You are depriving yourself of food now?” he asked; a delayed reaction to a point she’d just made. The slap on his arm that followed told him he’d said something wrong. He rushed to try to fix whatever offense he’d caused. “There was not a single woman in my village smaller than you. Or rather, looking at your frame it seems similar to a village woman I used to know who was about your size.”

“Really? You mean I would have been the skinniest in your whole village?”

Backfire. The woman was incredibly adept at turning his words against him to further her own goal.
