Chapter 13

MY MAID IS NOT GUILTY VALERIA He simply carried me princess style from the bed , and no matter how much I told him I could walk on my own , it went in one ear and out the other .

Hold on tight , he ordered when I didnt know how to position myself against his solid chest .

Hesitantly , I raised my hands and wrapped them behind his strong neck .

Closer .

Am I that unpleasant to you ? He shot me a cold glare that could kill , and I shook my head frantically , like a doll with a loose spring My fingers laced behind his neck .

His powerful heartbeat echoed against my side , and I fought the urge to let my eyes wander over his masculine features .

That fiery red hair swirled and danced with his every step through the castle corridors and down the stairs , as if he carried no weight at all .

His skin felt so warm , and that intoxicating scent lingering hear my nose teased my senses .

Had he already controlled his rut ? Or would I soon have to drag more of his lovers out of the castle by their hair ? Dont be afraid , he said suddenly .

Point to whoever you think is guilty , Valeria .

We had stopped before the massive kitchen doors .

Fine … And you … what will you do to that person ? Ill kill them , of course , he replied without further explanation , kicking the door open as he stormed into the room where the entire staff was trembling , waiting The scent of fear filled the air , and tonight , more blood would be spilled .

Your Majesty , Ive gathered the entire kitchen staff as you ordered , the housekeeper immediately announced , approaching us .

She looked at me strangely , just like everyone else .

And honestly , I was embarrassed to still be in the Kings arms .

He walked to the side and set me down on a chair , grabbing another one to sit beside me , exuding such a deadly aura that even I felt its weight pressing down on me .

Now , Valeria .
