While I’m trying to absorb that crazy idea, the man in question walks straight over to me. His bronzed skin almost shimmers. He looks at Jane and nods. “Your Princess.”
I almost burst out laughing at that. Kayden’s golden eyes hold mine, and I cannot look away. He studies me before reaching for my hand. “Follow me,” he says.
I’m pretty sure I’d walk through fire for this man. I put my hand in his and stand. “Can I go with him?” I belatedly look back at Jane.
She smiles, waving us away. “Please go.” She glances at Kayden. “Be nice.”
Jane, or Princess Jane I should say, has invited all of us over for dinner. I’m still a little shocked at my situation. In a matter of one single day, my life has changed forever. Everything went to hell before I saw that ad, and I’m still trying to recover.
Aside from being hot as hell, Earth has been my personal hell lately.
I’d had an epically bad day. Then I saw the ad when I was walking to the store. I just walked right on over and never went home. I don’t care where my asshole of an ex is.
Beyond being the aforementioned asshole, he also occasionally gave me a black eye. I thought we were done for good, but his family wouldn’t let me go. They had money and power, and I had nothing and no one. I’m a fighter, though, which my mom told me was a problem when I was younger.
“Fuck that shit,” I mutter to myself, shaking the bad memories away. I’m not even on Earth anymore. I can forget about all of it.
I slip out of my bedroom into the bathroom and take a quick look at myself. Fortunately, the bruising on my back shouldn’t be that bad. The bruise under my eye is still there.
Jane has even made sure we all had clothes. I slip out of the soft T-shirt I slept in and select a flowing dress. I glance toward the mirror, twisting to look over my shoulders. There’s a line of a bruise down one side. I hope it doesn’t matter.
When I arrive at the dinner, which is being hosted at Jane’s beautiful home, I’m beyond nervous. There are men everywhereand most of them aren’t human, although they look close to it. Except for the tails and shimmery skin.
As I watch Princess Jane with Prince Asher, it’s hard to believe she lived on Earth mere weeks ago. The prince appears enthralled to her. I can’t help but hope and pray I mate with a man who treats me with the kindness he gives her.
I’m sitting at the table when I feel heat shimmer over my skin. I know without even looking that Kayden is near me. I can’t help but look. It’s as if an invisible force connects us. He’s approaching from the side. The second our eyes lock, my belly swoops and my breath seizes in my lungs.
He stops beside me, his golden eyes sweeping over me. He holds his hand out. “Come with me.”
I almost burst out laughing at that. Kayden’s golden eyes hold mine, and I cannot look away. He studies me before reaching for my hand. “Follow me,” he says.
