"You look chipper." Nicklos joked as he entered my room. He proped himself up against the doorway, a smirk upon his face. After talking with Tucks, he sent a maid to escort me to a vacant room. He ordered me to rest as much as I could so I wouldn't rip the stitching open. So I laid out on the bed, staring quietly up at the ceiling. When I made no effort to reply, he pushed himself off the door frame and came walking over to me. I eyed him warily from the corner of my eye, watching him stalk towards me like I was easy pray.          I watched his lip twitch slightly in irritation, and in one swift movement he was kneeling on the bed next to me. Wrapping his hands lightly around my wrists, he pinned me down on the bed, disgruntled like he always was when I was in one of my 'moods'. We always played these games. I would be in distress, I would push him away, and then he would do what ever he could to make m

          I eyed Tucks warily as he sat across from Nicklos and I. I had told him yesterday that I would leave his nephew alone, but then was romantically involved with him instead. I could only imagine what he thought of me right now, even if he didn't say anything. In his mind, I would be damning his nephew's kingdom. But I could only trust at this point, that Nicklos knew exactly what he was doing.              "You did mention you knew something's about my 'sister'. You said she was hiding in plain sight. Could you be talking about Laylia?" I asked skeptically. If he was talking about Laylia, then was she really related to the other criminal warlords?              "You are preceptive. I was there on the day your father sent away his mistress. My brother was as well. It was on the day of your mother's wedding. Malia, was her name. Came barching in, demand

           I winced internally as our small group walked through the very tightly packed crowd of the city streets. Shoulders brushed against shoulders, spaces where invaded, and it was hard to breath over the many bodies that surrounded us. I was bumped into many times by other people, and despite it being early morning hours, it was mostly by drunken people. Very loud and obnoxious intoxicated people. Even though the streets where wide enough to fit three carriages, it still didn't seem like enough room as we pushed past the dense crowd.            It wouldn't be so bad if all my energy hadn't been spent on Nicklos last night. He seemed so starved for affection that he just couldn't stop at one time. I honestly lost count of how many times he woke me up last night, and each time had been more exhilerating than the last. So not only was my wound irritated, my body was sore, and I was pretty much exhaus

                  As soon as we got back to the Inn, Nicklos had dragged me back into our room. His face was red with pent up anger as he paced quietly around the room. I quietly sat on the bed, watching his aggitated and jerky movements. It was best not to say anything to him when he got like this. When something seemed like it was out of his control, he would lose his cool and lash out in anger. I know he doesn't mean to, but his over protective side got the better of him and all rationality went out the window. I hated seeing him this way, and nothing I could say in this moment, would help his anger. At least bringing up the subject would anger him. There was other ways to calm him down.               "Nicklos, stop pacing around, you are going to wear a hole in the floor." I said softly as I continued to follow him with my eyes. His head snapped over in my direction. His golden e
