Chapter 37: This is All Your Fault!
I stared at Theo, and he stared at me, and then, suddenly, I saw a look of understanding on his face, and the next moment, his face started to turn a slight hint of pink and the tips of his ears were red.
He sat up abruptly and grabbed a piece of clothing from the floor to cover himself below his waist and turned his face away from me.
“Oh, no… ” I murmured, and then asked the man next to me tentatively, “Your Highness…?”
“Yes?” He nodded, acknowledging how I addressed him. Obviously, just like me, he was his true self now.
Oh. My. Heavens.
What had we done?!
He avoided eye contact with me, cleared his throat, and asked in a husky voice, “What’s going on?”
My mouth opened and closed a few times, but I couldn’t make a sound.
What was going on? I wanted to know too! But, most importantly, how could he act so calmly as if nothing had happened?!
My hands covered my face and I was so… mortified, shocked, angry, confused, heartbroken and… embarrassed.
“How could you do this to me?!” I condemned loudly.
“Me?” he asked. “You were the one who wanted me!”
“You planned this whole thing from the beginning!” I retorted, tugging on the blanket to make sure it was completely covering my naked form.
“I know nothing about any of this,” he exclaimed, and I could tell by his face that he meant it. “And I warned you not to touch it.”
“Ahhhh!” I couldn’t help but pull my hair.
That was… that was my first time! How was I supposed to take this news? How was I supposed to accept everything that had just happened?!
“Ciana,” he called.
“Give me a minute!” I just wanted to cry.
“Ciana!” He raised his voice, and this time drew my attention to him. “Listen, this is a problem.”
“No! Maybe not!” I reasoned, though I wasn’t sure how it couldn’t be. “We are the only ones that know. We will just forget all about it!”
“As loudly as you moan? I doubt it,” he said in his usual, calm tone, which made me want to smack him. But then I remembered that he was a prince, at least in some world, so I kept my hands fisted around the blanket.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy it,” he added.
I paused and then my face was on fire. All right, I admitted it. The sex had been very good-not that I had anything at all to compare it to. But… how had I lost my virginity in such a crazy scenario where I didn’t even think I was myself?
Goddess, heavens, just kill me.
buried my head under the blanket and demanded,
