The next morning I was so excited to have some fun that I didn’t even give them shit for the outfit they’d laid out for me. The green cargo pants were low-rise and the boots were my normal work ones. Fine, good call.

The top however was a zip-up bustier bralette camo thing with tiny straps, and showed my stomach. I put it on and shook my head, going for my rifle.

“When I get sunburned, there better be a lot of offers to slather me with aloe.”

“We would normally and always offer that,” Jaxon muttered. “You look hot. Like really hot.”

I snorted and kept going. I looked like one of those gun magazines that had all the half naked women modeling with the guns, as if they actually came with the guns if bought. That sort of thing that made women roll their eyes, but whatever, I would do it to make them smile.

Or to distract James, because his eyes filled with heat when I walked into the ballroom for breakfast.

“Nice, sexy bite,” he muttered, his gaze raking over me. “I might ask you to wear that when I win.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah, I want a date,” he told me.

I frowned. “I don’t think a goofy bet is okay for asking that.”

He frowned then. “You wouldn’t have dinner with me normally?”

“Yes, but you’re making it sound like a date, date, where you expect something.”

“No, just to get to spend some time with you without everyone or your nobles hovering.”

I licked my lips, not sure I liked this development. “Are you asking to court me?”

He opened his mouth but then closed it. “No. No, I wouldn’t ever want that with a princess.”

I nodded, feeling like a punch to the stomach that he wouldn’t ever like me enough to look past that. I slapped on a smile.

“Good, because I wouldn’t do that to the rest of your family and complicate things. We know the line then. Kisses, snuggles, and friends.” I headed for the coffee.

“Inez, wait,” James whispered.

“Leave it, unless you want to change your answer,” Darius warned under his breath but then came with me. “You okay?”

“Um, yeah, fine,” I lied.

“Inez, please don’t lie to me, not ever,” he whispered gently.

“I’ve never had someone state it so clearly that I wasn’t worth the baggage I come with,” I admitted, turning away from everyone else. “Kristof didn’t know me when he said he never would serve a princess or whatever. That was… This felt really pointed.”

“But you don’t want to cross that line with him?”

I nodded. “It would change too much. We’re all flirty, snuggly friends.” I frowned at my coffee. “Maybe we shouldn’t be. Maybe I’m messing up by not being clearer?”

“No, you’ve been very clear that’s the line and you just were with him as well,” Jaxon comforted, leaning in and kissing my cheek. “You can be attracted to your friends, but you felt something else for Darius and I, and you know it. You’ve said it. Let James figure out his own everything and let’s have fun.
