Watching Luna leave the Hallowed Bean with her iced coffee in hand, Ace followed her from a distance. He’d called her salon yesterday and they’d mentioned she had the day off today. He’d texted her earlier but she didn’t respond to his messages like she usually did. To be honest, he missed their light bantering to get him through the day. Rehearsals were long and grueling so their daily chats gave him the added strength he needed to perform at best. The magic show production was starting up soon, yet he made time in his hectic schedule to spend with her.

Lunch and dinner with her became routine. The more time they spent together, the greedier he became. He desired her company and was eager to learn everything about her. In fact, his hope was for her to confide in him about being a mermaid. Perhaps he simply wanted the opportunity to tell her the truth.

When they were together, Ace felt a sense of normalcy with her that he’d never even experienced with Aislinn. He was able to be himself, minus cluing Luna in regarding his powers and his family title. Even a prince needed time to be an ordinary man.

He ducked behind a lamp post when she turned in his direction. Ace peered around the beam and muttered to himself, “Where is she going?”

Luna passed a pet shop, stopping in front of the window. She bent forward and pressed her face close to the glass. She seemed to be communicating with the creatures in the aquarium. He chuckled as she tried to pet them through the barrier, and then she said her goodbyes before marching on ahead. He’d been so absorbed in watching her that several people bumped into him. As they walked off, they practically tripped over themselves for a second glance at him.

Ace pulled his ball cap down and quickened his pace. He hoped he wouldn’t be discovered, but each day it was getting tougher to step out incognito as the show loomed closer. The media had set up camp near the event and it was increasingly difficult to leave without being hassled by the paparazzi. He used to relish being the top story in the headlines, trending on social media, but these days he preferred to stay under the radar with Luna in his life. He loved watching her create and speak about her passions and ocean based products.

She was intelligent, funny, and refreshing compared to the pretentious women he’d been with. They would talk for hours and she’d often fall asleep on his lap on the sofa. Her home was comforting, just like Luna. What he’d once considered boring in a relationship was now pleasurable, and surprisingly didn’t involve jumping into bed.

In fact, Ace hadn’t initiated sleeping with her, not yet. Definitely not from lack of attraction. He wanted to gain her trust first. Then he would tell her the entire truth. She deserved to hear it from him. For the first time in his spoiled prince life, he wanted to stay with her for the long haul.
