The Gaze of a King
She picks at her plate demurely, as if wanting to disappear from the dinner as badly as I do.
To her left is a broad-shouldered, brooding figure, with hooded eyes and dark shaggy hair. He looms over the Princess protectively, as only a big brother could do. He is one of David's eldest sons, Absalom. He leans over to her and whispers something discreetly in her ear. A pink blush warms her cheeks, coaxing a satisfied grin to spread across Absalom's face.
A serving girl leans over me and tops off my goblet, then slips into the background, disappearing from the room. As I take another sip, a tingle travels down my spine. I feel the King's heated breath grazing my skin.
