Chapter Six

That night the prince came to her room while she sat in front of her dressing table, brushing her long, dark hair. The length required that she do it in sections, holding it up at the midway point in order to reach down to the ends. She continued drawing the brush through the strands she held, watching the prince approach in the mirror, waiting to see how he would proceed.

He came up behind her and held out his hand for the brush. Moving the tresses back behind her shoulders she gave it to him.

“Beautiful, I’ve never seen hair so beautiful.”

Katrine didn’t answer. She was lost in the sensation of someone grooming her. Each time the brush pulled through her hair, nerve-endings in her scalp tingled.

“Shall I tell you what I see when I look at you in the mirror?” the prince asked.

Katrine expected it to be some commentary on her features. She was used to people remarking on her eyes. The intense shade of green made her gaze seem very direct, so much so that she suspected it made some uncomfortable.

“I see a remarkably brave woman, not afraid to experience life. Not many would have struggled through the elements to meet their destiny, not knowing what it might be.”

His words were a flattering surprise, and he did not stop there.

“I like that I see honesty in your eyes. They reveal your emotions and your passionate nature. Never cast your eyes away from me.”

With the hand not holding the brush he reached around her to tilt her chin up so their eyes met in the mirror.

“And your mouth, well, your mouth features in my every fantasy.” So saying, he spun her round to bring their mouths together.

When he released her, he dropped to one knee, as earlier he had promised he would. He reached into his breast pocket and withdrew a ring. He lifted it, so that she had no trouble seeing the pearl circle that looked as if it had somehow been shaped into strands then woven back together. He looked at her intently. “Are you ready to give me your heart?”

She had given him her virginity. Did he not know she had already placed her heart wrapped in layers of trust in his hands? “My heart is yours. If you drop it, it will break.”

“I will never drop it. I could never hurt you, body or soul.”

Katrine held out her hand, and he slipped the cool band on, his touch gentle with a firm push at the end, as if to assure himself it was lodged firmly. He had her heart, her will, even her body, which she hoped he would soon take again. However he would have to delve deep in order to find her soul.

“Your heart I will lock safe away with mine.” The prince offered promises Katrine had always longed to hear. “Your body is a gift I treasure. I wish to polish its shine. Will you let me do whatever I please with it
