I lean closer to him, kissing his lips tenderly with my own. As I am about to pull away, he grabs my face tighter and pulls me back in for a more satisfying kiss, one with plenty of tongue and saliva, and passion. He tastes wine and rabbitstew. I pull away finally, laughter dying on my lips.It doesn't take long to notice the stares from the people at the table around us. Some smile, some blush, and some look away in embarrassment from being caught. Cesar just keeps eating his soup, his abnormally hot hand resting onmine. He has no sense of embarrassment. He only takes pride in the things he has conquered. And he has, undoubtedly, conquered me."Na yi ta na da kyau, ma'am," Cesar speaks up in his native tongue. It sounds so rough and manly when he says the words. "Amma idan wants Daga gare ku kiyaye staring an inda zan mace kamar cewa, shi ke cabbage take cewa ba za kaso a sakamakon. (I realize she is a beauty, yes. But if any of you keep staring at my woman like that, it's guarant

My breathing is rapid and my heart beats uncontrollably in my chest. This is the first time I've ever been afraid of the Barbarian Prince after I have known him and become his lover. I was a little angry too from this reaction when I only tried to give him one single suggestion. I turn around slowly and make my way over to the door. As soon as I place my hand on the doorknob, deep down thinking he would stop me, and yes he did actually, he clears his throat."You Know I love you more than anything," he whispers brokenly and painfully."I didn't mean to snap at you like that. But I am not in the mood to play along with you. Men have temper issues"I turn my head so that he's only visible through my peripheral vision. "I know. I love you too. I am sorry for telling you what to do! You know things better than me" And I slip out of the room, the events from just a few seconds ago stillhaunting my mind.I am very worried since I heard about war and here he is injured before it has started

Radiant Moon tugs on my silks a little as I step down from the pedestal she had me standing on. "Perfect," I hear hersay. "You look like a clam's finest pearl. Beautiful and flawless"I laugh, not knowing if being a pearl is a compliment or not. Black Bear will be the one to walk me down the aisle. " I am surprised that you are here my friend, Aren't you afraid of King now? "" No, King ordered me to escort you "Cesar said that I'd needed a male escort to walk me down the aisle to him. It is the ritual that father or brother walked the Bride to Groom. He'd offered to give me one of his most trusted men also because he'd already known that theBlack Bear is the only one to be trusted because he is young and has been through Cesar's wrath.Black Bear takes my hand and I go to look at myself in front of the mirror. "You look very beautiful," he whispers in his deep accent. "Are you ready to get marry?""Married," I correct him and he smiles slightly. I take his warm, calloused hands in

He shifts in his place a little, crunching his brows together. "What brings this up?" he asked "Just answer the question, Why do you seem like you love the War? Don't you worry about me?" I whimper, biting my lip. Prince Edmund leans back in his chair and looks up at the stars."Everyone will die at some point in their life. There's no way to predict death…but no, I suppose I'm not. But if I had to choose one way to die, it would be in battle— I have been the leader and in charge of the army. How can I be afraid of death?""But why?" I ask, cutting him off. My eyes are wide and glistening with tears. "You would rather die at the hands of an enemy's sword than in bed, comfortable, holding handswith your lover. Spend nights and Days with me when our children were playing around, making noises"He blinks at me, his lips unmoving. I can't look at his beautiful face anymore. I bury my head in my hands and rub at my temples with my fingers. "God, I'm so afraid…" I whisper. "This war is

I make my way down the hall to Three Horses, who is sending out the troops now. Normally I would send my brother to take care of this, but since that bastard's lying on the floor in a pool of his blood, Which is because of me. After he say sorry to me, I punched him twice, I have to. Three Horses looks up at me and nods in acknowledgment."I just sent fifty men into the Forest of Thieves to take care of business. They'll look until dark and then the midnight the guard will keep watch until sunrise." Three Horses tells me, leaning against the wall. "Do you know where your brother is? I have to discuss a few things with him."I can feel myself heat up again. I stand against the cool wall to breathe the freezing air in through my pores. "He's lying in a puddle right now. Anything you have to say, I can tell himlater." I say it nonchalantly. Three Horses looks at me like I've just grown a second head out of my right shoulder. Because since the beganning he is the in charge of the troop
