Words:531Chapters:1/1Hits: 12
Stalking through the palace corridors in search of her prey, Lady di Silver removed her mask and felt for the dagger beneath her ballgown. The prince’s study should be down here somewhere, and once she found him …
But someone else found her first.
A figure slipped out of the shadows between the torches, forcing her to an abrupt halt. He, too, had removed his mask since their dance in the ballroom a short while ago, and without it she could make out every plane of his cheekbones and aquiline nose. Hewasa striking figure, there was no doubt about that. His elfin blood gave him a grace that few humans possessed.
‘What are you doing here, Sir Grayson? Not interfering with my mission, I hope.’
‘I rather thought I would help with it.’
Lady di Silver scoffed. ‘I donotrequire your help, sir. I am no damsel in distress.’
He held up his gloved hands in surrender. ‘I did not say “take over”. But if you’d prefernotto have my assistance …’
‘I thought you had business of your own in the castle tonight.’
‘I did,’ he said in a low voice, stepping closer.
‘What changed?’
He held her gaze. ‘Our dance.’
Oh.
Oh.
Lady di Silver wasn’t sure which of them had moved first, only that they were upon each other before she could blink, the frustration of their earlier meeting on the dance floor melting in a hungry kiss, their tongues battling for dominance as her fingers carded through his long, white-blonde hair, skimming over the tips of his pointed ears. It ignited a fire in her belly – not unlike the sort she normally only felt in the heat of battle when swinging a sword, but more intense. It consumed her, and every thought in her mind.
She couldn’t say which of them broke the kiss, but when they parted, she was catching her breath – and trying to understand exactlyhowthis had happened, where these feelings had sprung from out of their earlier animosity – when the Moonwalker’s eyes slid over the top of her head, and his lip curled.
‘Ah,’ he said. ‘I forgot that you’re never alone.’
Lady di Silver spun on her heel and found Devon some distance away, his head bowed, hand resting on the hilt of his sword, not quite looking at either of them, but noticing her gaze on him. He bowed slightly. ‘My lady.’
Lady di Silver gasped, bringing a hand to her throat. Her lips felt swollen, the ghost of Sir Grayson’s kiss still imprinted there, but guilt squirmed in her stomach to see her faithful, steadfast friend looking wholly uncomfortable and put-out by the impassioned display – and she didn’t think that was anything to do with the kiss itself, but more to do withher.
‘Devon,’ she whispered, but when she glanced behind, the Moonwalker had vanished, silent as the shadows, and she steeled herself. One kiss – one reckless, impulsive moment – could not derail her mission. She could not afford to let it.
‘Come, Devon,’ she said, squaring her shoulders. ‘We have a prince to interrogate, and I shall need your help.’
CHAPTER 26
I hardly hear from Jake in the weeks following our last Discord chat. I send him a few texts asking if he’s okay and if he’s free to hang out, and try to break the ice by sending him a couple of funny Instagram posts or TikToks I think he’ll like, but the most I get is the thumbs-up emoji.
It’s worse than if he just left me on read.
I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t know if Icanfix it.
I thought finding out that Jake had feelings for me and I didn’t have some enormously unrequited crush would be the best thing in the world, that I’d be over the moon, but I’m left with this hollow ache in my chest, and whenever I think about it, it’s hard to breathe.
Yeah. Friends.
