Darby wasn’t sure that this was the same man who’d kissed her just a few minutes ago, and she was getting tired of trying to keep up with his personality changes. Her attraction to him made little sense to her, but after that last kiss, there was no denying that he’d awoken something in her no man ever had.

She desperately wanted to explore the feelings he invoked, wanted him to kiss her again, to feel her body pulsing with pleasure when he touched her. But she didn’t want to get hurt, and even though she was trying not to, she was starting to like Colin. He’d worked hard that day, done things he’d never done before, taken his own failures in stride, and she’d gotten a glimpse of the man he could someday become.

But she couldn’t forget that he was the prince, and she was a commoner, anything lasting between them was impossible. Their worlds didn’t connect and never would. No amount of passion or even love could change that; it was the way things were in Ballentine. That combined with the risk that Colin would bring unwanted attention to the farm should have been enough to help her send him on his way, but instead she was sitting down to dinner with him.

They’d been eating in silence for a few minutes when Darby finally asked the one question that had been plaguing her since she talked to Eli. “Why did your parents kick you out of the castle?”

Colin looked up at her, then set his fork down. “You didn’t see the paper last week?” he asked, slightly surprised.

Darby shook her head. “I don’t have time to read the paper.”

“You didn’t hear people talking about me?”

“I was really busy getting ready for opening day last week,” she said. “But I have heard things about you.”

He sighed. “Yeah, I haven’t exactly been the poster child for good behavior, but only about half of what you heard is true.”

Darby thought about that for a second, then said, “Even half is pretty bad, but what did you do that pushed your parents over the edge?”

She could tell that he didn’t want to tell her, but she waited him out. “I rode my horse naked down Main Street in the middle of the night.”

A picture of him riding through the center of town naked popped into her head, and she couldn’t stop the laughter that bubbled up. “You really like to be naked, don’t you?” she asked, then burst into laughter. “That must have been some front page. Now I wish I’d seen it.”

He grinned at her. “I’m sure that could be arranged, but you’ve got the real thing right here,” he said. “I’d be happy to strip for you any time you want.”

Darby felt herself blushing and knew that the conversation had gone in the wrong direction. “So, your parents kicked you out for that?”

The amusement disappeared from Colin’s face. “Well, it was a little more than that. They said that I’m not ready to rule, that I’m a spoiled brat who doesn’t appreciate what he has,” he said.
