EXCERPT
“It’s nothing, my King.” She turned her
face away from his. She couldn’t possibly tell him the real reason.
“Enough to infuriate you, which is enough
for me.”
When she looked back up into his blue-gray
eyes she felt that same magnetic pull between them. Somehow she had not
realized how close they were standing. His hand felt warm against her bare
skin. His body only a few inches away from her. His breath hot on her face. Her
heart contracted in her chest, and she forced herself to respond.
“She speaks of…of your interference, as
if…as if you…”
Time stretched between them, and she
thought for a split second he might move even closer to her. She was rooted in
place, captivated by his gaze.
“Yes?” His other hand drifted to her waist,
and she was suddenly on fire.
Their breath mingled together as she murmured,
“As if you favor me.”
“And do you think that?”
“I…”
“Yes?” he asked, stepping closer.
“I think you have your queen,” she
breathed.
