Chapter 59

• Lance waited for her answer even though all he wanted to do was jump her, all week, he had thought about coming to see her, about touching her and being with her, it had been a hassle not to give in and just come in for a quickie but he held his ground as he didn’t want their first time to be a quickie, he had a rough week. One of the dams in the kingdom had overflowed which led to a lot of people losing their homes and he spent all his mornings paying condolence visits to those affected and his nights finding a suitable solution to the situation. He had meetings until the early mornings and even slept outside the palace two times in a row. Thankfully, everything was almost resolved already and he could finally relax. Even in the mix of the crisis, his mind kept going back to her, he knew she would be waiting for him and he hated that he kept her waiting without telling her what was going on. On the other hand, he realized that he was completely smitten with her, it had been so long since he felt so much pull to someone; he just didn’t know how he was able to deny how he felt towards her for so long when she was one of the people that always attend to him when she worked in the palace, he saw her every day as she had been one of the people that he trusted to work with him.
• He put those thoughts behind him and focused on her, she was biting her lips and her eyes weren’t meeting his, he lifted her by the chin to stare into the most beautiful sets of eyes that he had ever seen.
• “You have pretty eyes, everything about you is pretty, Soph,”
