The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

ADESSA.

As much as I wanted to stay in Kael's arms longer, we didn't have the luxury of time.

I wanted to run away with him, but what kind of life would we have after that?

Although the stupid Royal Game is in the way of us being together, being a royal was also my only chance of being free from the crime I committed. I was holding on to the hope that somehow I could convince the King to change his mind and let me choose who I wanted to be with.

Maybe if I told him Kael and I had no plans of being the King and Queen of Absalom, he would just let the idea go. Besides, with five princes, what are the chances of us being crowned as ruler of Absalom? So, this Royal Game was obviously a waste of resources and time.

I looked at Kael, wiping the wetness between my legs and making sure none of his cum was running down my thighs while I continued to hold the hem of my gown's skirt.

"I don't think I can remove my smell on you." He stood up and threw the toilet paper in the nearby bin before standing before me again.

"It's okay. We can't regret anything now." I smiled at him as I let go of my gown.

He cupped my face and rubbed my cheek with his thumb. "I don't regret anything, but I hope he won't do anything that will harm you."

"I don't think so." I held his hand on my face. My eyes watered as I stared at him. "Kael, do you know about the Royal Games? The King will sign a decree about that today."

He nodded. "I was already expecting that."

"I don't know how..."

"Shh..." He held my face with both hands and smiled at me, but I could see sadness in his eyes. "I'll take care of that. I will join the games to get to you."

"It terrifies me. What if something happened to you during the game? What if it's dangerous?"

"We're a team, right?"
