I carry her in my arms up to the third floor of the palace which is my own private floor. The floor I met her on is my servants quarters and where I keep things that I want hidden. Things that can damage my reputation. But on this floor, no one comes here unless I ask them to. Not even my servants. Hopefully this place will be the perfect place to question her and hide her afterwards. I won’t dare kill her no matter what she does to me. She’s too interesting to waste.
I finally reached my bedroom. I place her on the huge, mahogany four poster bed and I watch her dark hair splatter on the dark burgundy silk pillow cases. She won’t wake up for a while so I decided to go take a shower before my big speech. I don’t have much time until everyone starts feasting downstairs. I concentrate and use my abilities to hear what’s going on downstairs. Everyone is still dancing, my parents are talking to what sounds like the leader of the mermaids, Caspian, and the head butler predicts the food will be finished and served in less than twenty minutes. That gives me time to do what I have to do.
I go to the bathroom and strip, jumping in the shower as soon as possible. Showering is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to calm me down and since that little encounter with my parents, I’ve felt my power on the verge of exploding for a while now. I always have to be careful when it comes to my temper. I’ve only lost my disposition one time ; it didn’t end well for many people. Now, I’m much more powerful than I was before and I don’t know what would happen once I lose control of my abilities.
I close my eyes and let the cool water run down my face and then my body. The droplets hug my body like armour and I look at them calmly. I focus on a droplet and I let it form into a bigger sphere next to my head. I look at it and picture the angelic face of the girl currently in my bed and after a couple of seconds, her face shines in the droplet as if it’s a mirror. I blink away the water in my eye and continue my shower ; grabbing the shampoo and lathering it on my body. With this droplet, I can see if she wakes up before I anticipated. She shouldn’t but who knows what else she’s got up her sleeve. I didn’t expect her to attack me with that annoying sand of hers. She seems to be full of surprises.
I nearly finish washing the shampoo out of my hair and off my body when I hear her make a sound. I quickly look at the droplet and I see her head moving on my pillowcase. I look at the floating liquid in confusion. Is she waking up? Upon further investigation, I realise she’s dreaming about something. Something that’s making her react very provocatively. I frown and quickly try to finish my shower.
Right before I decide to stop my shower, the doe eyed human in my bed releases the most pleasant sound I’ve ever heard. I look at the droplet in complete shock. What the hell is she dreaming about! If I thought the noises coming out of her mouth were shocking, what she did next nearly made me lose all my virtues.
She says my name.
My real name.
I suck in a breath and curse. She’s moaning my name while she’s laid, sprawled in my bed sleeping soundly. God knows what she’s dreaming about. I jump out of the shower and get my clothes on. I try to compose myself as best as I can but when I enter the room again and hear her moan for me over and over, I nearly lose my common sense.
‘Shit.’
I walk up to the bed and look at her. Her lips are slightly parted and the right side of her face is hidden behind her hair. I slowly move the hair away so I can see her whole face. How can she look so perfect? Where has she been all my life. I roll my eyes. Probably training to kill me. Usually that would be a big enough reason to kill someone painfully. But she’s not just someone. She’s mine. She’s made for me. I can feel it. There’s a reason I’ve been dreaming about her for months. I’ll find out what she’s hiding and I’ll make sure I make her mine in time for the coronation. She’s the only one I want by my side.
I use my abilities to create restraints around her small hands and legs. I make sure they’re tight enough she can’t escape but not too tight to cause her pain. She’s going to have to wait for a bit until I can come back to question her. Right now, I’ve got a speech to give. I turn around and leave the room. It’s time to announce the big news to my whole kingdom.
