Aurora Stone:
I was dragging my tired legs back to my quarters after training when I stopped dead in my tracks.
Sebastian was standing right outside my door, waiting for me.
Wow! The king was waiting for me. For ME!
Unbelievable!
My brows knitted instantly. As a king, he could have gone inside if he wanted. Nobody would've dared stop him.
But he hadn't. He was just waiting there.
Without complaints.
Without a bad mood
When his eyes found mine, his whole face seemed to lit up with a smile.
"How are you, warrior?" he asked me casually, and my heartbeat raced the same way it always did when he was around.
No matter what he called me.
Warrior.
Emerald.
Phoenix.
Spitfire.
Wife.
Every name used to give those strange, delicious tingles.
"How am I?" I walked up to him and placed my hands on my hips, "Tired. Dirty. Hungry. I'm feeling how a head warrior should feel."
He chuckled while watching me, "And still you manage to look beautiful."
