At evening, I stepped into the dining hall, and the first person that caught my attention was Eros. He sat by the dining table, his gaze was fixed on a document in his hand.

Just then, he looked up, and his eyes met mine, and he smiled.

“You’re up, Love. How was your nap?.” He asking, standing up to join me by the side.

“It was good.” I said softly.

“You look beautiful.” His gaze scanned my length, and I felt tingles run through me.

The way he looked at me made goosebumps rise on my skin. My face was flushed.

“You look good too.” I said quickly and averted my gaze.

There was no getting used to the way Eros made me feel. Despite the nights of passionate lovemaking we’ve spent together, I can’t help the way I melt anytime he looks at me with desire in his eyes.

Eros took my hand in his and led me to a seat. He stood behind a chair and pulled it back for me to sit on.

“Thank you,” I said. He nodded and sat back down on his seat, which was directly opposite mine.

The maids scurried in and began to drop different delicacies on the table. Our plates were filled with deliciously looking food.

When they were done, they left Eros and me to be alone. The silence between us was peaceful. The only sound made came from the clink of our silverware against the plates.

Eros was composed. Every movement he made was deliberate and calm.

I was the opposite. My mind was still occupied with thoughts about my Mom and Dad.

Since yesterday, after I confronted Lord Shevek, I hadn’t heard a single word from him. Every hope of him going after my mother was slowly beginning to fade.

I realized that it must have been too rash of me to assume that they would ever get back together.

The sound of the doors opening pulled my attention to Ryker, who strolled into the dining room with a slight swagger in his steps.
