Chapter 15 What If We Get Caught?

• "Oh, Decker! How glad I am that you're here!" She explained as she pulled him to herself, sent her hands around him, and hugged him with all her might. Confused, Decker squinted. Hesitantly, he hugged her back and stroked her back. He felt her heart pound against his chest. She was also drenched in sweat. She presumed it was a nightmare, a terrible one. A moment passed, and then Ashina pulled out of the hug. She let out a sigh of relief. She is all good now. Decker sat beside her on her bed with mixed feelings. He was happy that he had finally gotten time with her alone, but he was also scared and wary. Princess Leslie had barred him from coming in here, and Commander Rafe had ordered him to limit his meetings with the Princess. If he got caught here in her bed with her at this time of the night, trouble was most likely going to brew. At the thought of it, he clenched his jaws and gnashed his teeth. This is what it has come to. He was now being made uncomfortable in the presence of Ashina! His love since his childhood!
• "Decker, what's wrong?" Princess Ashina asked with knitted brows. Noticing his anger, she was worried. A tad startled as he was lost in his thoughts, he unclenched his jaws and let out a sigh.
• "Oh, it's fine. Ashina, what about you? Why did you scream?" He asked her, remembering why he came here. Ashina let out a sigh.
