(Caines, Terres Somnia)Back at the palace, James asked Keira to dance almost as soon as they arrived, at the insistence of his family. He went along with it easily enough. James too was of the opinion that it was high time they had it out."I don't believe you, either of you and I won't allow you to take him again," said James as he took Keira’s hand and led her out onto the dancefloor. "Whatever happened yesterday, it's over."Keira watched Aaron as his sister, brother-in-law and sister-in-law took up his attention. She watched for some time until the tension slowly left his face, then smiled playfully as she brought her gaze back to James’ darkening eyes.James had no idea how right he was. It was over. Keira felt like she was right back there with Aaron the night that it happened. Suddenly the instinct to fight for them, the one that failed her that night, coursed through her like James threatening to keep Aaron from her had set off some domino effect in her brain. “I like you, J

2020, August 5th (Imperium, Warlanda)Keira and Kate sat across from Madz in her office as she finally gave them both a full picture of what exactly was going on. Madz: In short, there have been three new seat number 12s within the last month and just like the original, they’re all dead. Madz brought up images of the newly discovered bodies on her big screen. Madz: Whitmore, Simpson, Greene, Veronica Hunter. To date, two thirds of the outer circle has been wiped out. Kate: Looks like someone's finally coming for you Madz and unlike with me, the gloves are off. Kate leaned back in her chair in amusement. Keira: You think it's funny that someone's trying to take seat number one through foul play? How do you bloody know it's not her?Madz came towards her daughters and sat down across from them behind her desk. Madz: I don't. Bringing Katherine in to help handle the situation is a calculated risk. Kate: Need I remind both of you that Madz dying by foul play doesn't benefit an In

As expected, fear shot through her eyes, followed by anger. He grinned at her predictable response. Keira was extremely protective. Aaron liked that too. The more protective she got, the less afraid he was of waking up without her next to him. “To tell me to take care of you. To get you out when the time comes, if that’s still what you want. If Keira Dormer still wants to slum it and live a normal, boring life.” Keira thought about the last few days, about their time in Imperium and all her discussions with Aaron about their life together once they left. Imperium didn't make her miserable anymore. He made anywhere feel okay to be, even the home she left behind because she felt like she had to to regain her soul, to get out from under Madz's thumb. She didn’t mind Imperium after all, as long as she was with him, didn’t want to be anywhere without him. “What if I never know how to leave again? What if this place is just too much a part of me? ” He slipped his arms around her, looked

He was trying way too hard. One way or another, she would find it, but for now she had a company to save and sexy as he was, life endangering as that smile was, she just couldn’t walk away from her family’s legacy. “Exactly. You did what you had to. Now, appreciate that I’m doing the same.”Emily licked her lips and thought for a second, before opening her purse. She pulled out a ticket and handed it to him. “You’ve already seen this.” “I know. But you haven’t. Maybe when we see it together, you can actually watch the ballet instead of me this time.”He looked down at it. The ticket was for the day after the vote, the one she meant to veto as the majority shareholder of Maine Industries, knowing full well that that was the only way to snatch the position out from under Duke Maine. “Let me guess. This is a fifth date ticket.” “I always knew you were more than just devastatingly pretty.”She gave him a light, teasing kiss on his lips. “Fourth date happens within three days or not

He looked up into her gray eyes. She wasn’t asking about the shares. They weren’t just business to her either, not anymore. He slipped his hands down past the slit and onto her naked thighs, loving eyes still on hers as his hands caressed and explored her. She breathed in sharply and a subdued, slight, little moan left her lips. “Then I get to take you to the ballet, hold your hand all night, pretend to be watching it while I watch you, hopefully catch enough of it to make small talk about it on the way home.” Who was Nathan Dormer around this woman? The little moans of pleasure, the storms in her eyes as she stood there and let herself be touched, tormented him with the promise of what was coming. She wasn’t just showing him she could be his person, she was teaching him how to be hers. Nathan took a deep breath as his fingers grazed her folds instead of the expected panties. He gave her a surprised look. She wasn't wearing anything under that dress. “And then, Emily Maine, we
