Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen

I woke up to Trian by my side.

After the bath last night, he brought me back to bed; I didn miss the fact that he had replaced the sheets with fresh ones. Despite the throbbing pain between my legs, I couldn’t help but feel satisfied.

It was better than I had ever expected, and I was glad Trian had been my first.

Now I lay there, staring at him like some creep while he slept, noticing how tense he seemed–even in sleep. Maybe that was something all soldiers had in common. The thought of tracing my fingers down his perfectly sculpted face was enticing, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, afraid I might wake him–and then things would get very… awkward.

I managed to rise to my feet, certain I’d be feeling him down there for days. Himped out of the room, planning to take a small tour of the house, and made my way to the kitchen. That was when I realized something I had completely overlooked–I didn’t know how to cook. For most of my life, the maids brought me food, and I ate whatever the empresses saw fit.

I didn’t want to dwell on that thought; It was never too late to learn.

I moved on and found another room–maybe a guest room. I tried the door, but it was locked. The next room, however, was unlocked, so I stepped inside. My mouth dropped open at the sight before me.
