  &quot;Yes,&quot; I breathed, but I wasn't.
  Throughout the journey, I fought my urge to vomit as I held on to Lucian until I discovered something. Inhaling Lucian's scent took the nausea away. Grabbing some strands of his hair I kept inhaling his spicy scent until we decided to take a break.
  &quot;Lincoln will bring us food.&quot; Lucian said as he sat next to me on a cliff while I was watching the sunrise.
  It was my first time seeing the sun rise and it was the most beautiful sight. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Lucian watching me.
  &quot;Isn't it beautiful?&quot; I nodded toward the sun.
  &quot;Very beautiful.&quot; He said but he was still looking at me as he said it.
  I turned to him. &quot;I am speaking of the sunrise, Lucian.&quot;
  &quot;I see nothing but you right now.&quot;
  We just stared into each other's eyes unable to look away until we heard some guard

  He gazed at her with those flaming eyes. Klara had never seen such eyes before and it made her wonder if the rumors could be true.
  It wasn't only his eyes, but there was a raw power that emanated from him making fear crawl into her skin. She had fought with many powerful and scary men but this one, he made her terrified when she couldn't even see his face.
  &quot;You wanted to say something?&quot; He spoke and Klara froze.
  His voice, it was so different from his aura. It was like nothing she had heard before, warm and deep. The silkiness of it felt like an intimate caress on her skin.
  &quot;Hey princess, His Highness is speaking to you.&quot; Someone called.
  Tearing her gaze from his piercing eyes she tried to think. What was it she wanted to say? Yes, she wanted to bargain.
  &quot;What do you want of me?&quot; She asked looking up at him.
  &quot;I don't know yet but I am su

  I opened my eyes slowly, unwilling to succ.u.mb the sweet dream I had been having. I realized it wasn't a dream, as I felt Lucian's arm around my waist, pressing my back against his chest. His legs entwined with mine under the sheets, his breath in my hair, fanning my neck.
  It hadn't been a dream. Lucian had made love to me last night in the most sensual, tender manner. I felt my cheeks heat and my body burn anew as I recalled the beautiful memories. It was an experience I had never had before and never thought I would have. Actually, I never thought such an experience could even exist. How could a single kiss make my head spin? A light touch burn my skin?
  My heart skipped a beat as I felt Lucian's arm tighten around my waist.
  &quot;Lucian? Are you awake?&quot; I whispered.
  &quot;Hmm&hellip;&quot; he said in a sleepy voice. Then it was quiet for a while. Had he gone back to sle

&quot;Yes,&quot; I breathed, but I wasn't.

  We just stared into each other's eyes unable to look away until we heard some guards speaking behind us.
  Tearing my gaze from his, &quot;Where are we going? What's your plan?
