Chapter 12 A Royal Engagement 2

• Before I can stop myself, the lie is already out of my mouth. "I was a maid in the castle tasked with cleaning his suite," I look up at him lovingly and squeeze his bicep as I draw closer to him. "One thing lead to another, and well... I couldn't imagine my life without him." I look around the room for a second and see everyone staring so I make a move. I stand up on my tippy toes and press my lips to his in a passionate kiss. I take him by surprise, but he quickly takes control of the kiss and moves his mouth against mine. It seems like the rest of the world disappears leaving just me and Daniel and the sensation of his lips on my own.
