“How long would it take you and your knights to realize you’re in love with each other.”

My jaw drops open, and my eyes widen in disbelief as a series of strange sounds escapes my mouth.

“Y-you knew?” I ask when I can finally form words again.

“It was so obvious,” he says with a smirk. “My bet was on yesterday, that’s why I tried to kiss you. Worked like a charm, too.”

My eyes widen even further in shock. He was egging Draven on.

“You… You didn’t even want to kiss me?”

“Look, princess. You seem lovely, but you’re clearly already taken. If he hadn’t stepped in it would have been no hardship to kiss you.”

“Thanks… I think,” I say with a frown, feeling a little confused.

“I think it would have happened even sooner if that one was in the room with us,” Lucien says, pointing to Ranger. “The tension between you two is thick enough to cut with a knife.”

“Well, on that note, I think we should get going,” I say, nervously pointing over my shoulder. If they see attraction between us, it was only on my end, and that’s embarrassing enough that it spurs me into action to get out of here.

“Please, you can all join us for breakfast, I’m sure you have long days of travel in front of you,” Evren says, gesturing to all the vacant seats that would seat me and my knights at the table.

I glance up at Draven in question, but Ranger answers, finally stepping back into his role as my head guard.

“Thank you, your offer is very generous and it would be good for the princess to get in a full meal before we depart.”

Blaze guides me to a chair between him and Arrow, while Draven and Ranger sit across from us.

The lords start to ask the knights about places we’ve been and the state of affairs in other parts of the realm. I tune them out and focus on the food, avoiding eye contact with Ranger. Everytime I glance up, he’s looking at me intently but I have no idea what he’s thinking.

He could be mad, jealous, happy, constipated…. It’s so hard to read him sometimes. I’ll be happy when we can leave this table and I can avoid looking at him for a while.

“I missed riding with you,” I tell Arrow as we ride through the forest.

“Me too,” he says before placing a kiss on the side of my neck.

“Where are we going, anyway? Do we have to turn around and go back the way we came?”

“No, we’re looping around the desert now. If we continue, we will come up the east side of Dyconia and then head north until we get back home. Ranger said he knew somewhere we could stop for a few days though. Somewhere a little secluded.” I nod, trying to picture Dyconia in my head.

“You know,” Arrow says, distracting me. “I’ve always loved your short dresses, but now I’m starting to really appreciate how accessible they are.”

“Accessible?” I ask in confusion. His hand slides down from where it’s been settled across my stomach, down my thigh to the edge of my dress, then he slips it back up until his fingers slide across the front of my panties. “Arrow!” I gasp in surprise.

I feel him grin against my neck and I reach a hand back to hold the back of his neck.

“Mmm,” he moans as his fingers find their way under the seam of my panties, and he strokes them through my damp folds. “I don’t think I can wait until we stop. Will you let me touch you now?”

“Yes!” I gasp as his finger circles my entrance.

“Do you think you can stay quiet so it can stay our little secret?”

“Uh-huh,” I whimper as he sinks a finger slowly into me.

“Good girl.” I melt against him and he presses a second finger into me. It takes him less than two minutes to get my body completely worked up and I turn my head to kiss him, so he can muffle my cries as my pussy convulses around his fingers, my orgasm shooting through me with an uncontrollable wave of pleasure.

When I come down from my high, my body sags with exhaustion and he pulls his fingers up and sucks them into his mouth. “Mmm. I can’t wait to taste you right from the source.”

“Me either,” I whisper as I pant heavily. He laughs and I glance around at the others, but nobody seems to be watching us. I guess we got away with it.
