Her lips tingled as she looked up at him. His eyes were on her face, as if he was drinking every inch of her skin.

“Does that explain everything for you?” he asked softly.

“That does,” she responded, cleared her throat. Everything felt heavy, her arms, her legs, her lids. She could have curled up against him and slept for a week.

A few minutes later, she did just that, curling against him in his bed, letting the warmth of his body soothe her weary mind. His fingers made patterns on her back, and focusing on them, she fell asleep.

She dreamt of nothing, and she woke up only when he kissed her awake what seemed like minutes later.

“It’s five o’clock,” he whispered, then gave her another kiss. “It’s time to take you home.”

She didn’t want to leave, but she didn’t want to get either of them into any kind of trouble, so she walked beside him out of his house, still wearing his clothes, her own forgotten. It was not raining anymore, but humidity remained in the air. He held her when they teleported to the palace, and she breathed him in one last time before she let her body rise up to the balcony. Once there, she lifted her hand and waved as he teleported home, sad to see him go.

What was this feeling she was having? Why did he pull at her that way? She didn’t know him that well, if she really thought about it. There were many things she wanted to learn about him. She wanted to spend time talking to him, asking him questions, answering his. Why should that be wrong? He was a good human being, whether he had royal blood running through his veins or not, and all that should have mattered was how they felt about each other.

She liked him. A lot.

His kiss in her mind, she climbed into her bed, his scent invading her senses, and she lifted the shirt, exposing her midriff, to bury her nose in it. She fell asleep once again. However, this time her sleep was not peaceful, and her dreams were not of Lucas’s mouth on hers, or his hands roaming over her body.

Instead, she dreamt of that man, the poor man whose name she still didn’t know. His eyes staring up at her, his blood on her, telling her it was her fault he was dead. Looking at her like he hated her for not saving his life.

She was startled awake when he went to grab her by the neck, guilt smothering her, tears streaming down her face.
