Chapter 24 Forbidden Touches Part 1

• Anastasia
• As I make my way through the deserted corridors, Andrew leads me to Prince Darius's room. We haven't exchanged many words; he seems like the quiet type. I can't tell if he likes or dislikes my presence since he always maintains a serious expression. Eventually, we arrive at the prince's chambers, and Andrew opens the door for me before stepping aside to let me enter alone. He closes the door behind me, and I am left alone in the room with Prince Darius. My nerves were getting the best of me, causing me to fidget with my fingers. I quickly glanced around the prince's bedroom and saw no one in sight, so I hurried to make the bed. With that task completed, I turned my attention to cleaning the bathroom, but upon entering, I heard the sound of running water, and I realized he was taking a shower. As I turned to leave, Darius stopped me.
• “Ana, come bathe me.” I froze and hesitated, but eventually followed his orders. I turned the shower handle and attempted to step in with my clothes still on because the thought of being naked in front of him was unthinkable. However, the prince stopped me again.
