He groaned as she struggled against him. “I was beginning to wonder if you remembered my name. Please, be quiet. Just a moment.” Reaching behind his head, he caught her hand and moved it to his mouth, where he pressed a kiss against her bare skin. “Only a moment, until the world turns itself aright again.”

“Sebastian closed his eyes, his chin sinking toward his chest. How long he’d been trapped by those words, afraid to scare her away. How long he’d hoped that after she dealt with Ian’s ghost she would one day turn to him.

“But that isn't the strangest part," Fallon said. He peered down the corridor, as if to make sure Philip wasn't nearby.

Then he turned to Charlotte. "He's started thanking me, Your Grace." His beetled eyebrows pulled low. "When I iron the paper, he thanks me. When I announce a visitor, he thanks me. Why, he even thanked me the other day for opening the door. 'Thank you, Fallon,' he says.”

“******"Nasıl istersen sevgilim."
"Bana Charlotte diye hitap etmeni tercih ederim. 'Sevgilim', 'Düşes Hanımefendileri' ve hatta 'Düşes' diye bile değil. Sadece Charlotte."
"Ah. Pekala. Eğer yine de sen bana Phillip dışında, başka bir şekilde hitap etmek istersen, bilmeni isterim ki ben özellikle 'Haşmetmeapları' demen taraftarıyım."
Charlotte başını yana eğdi."Neden orada duralım ki? Neden arkasından bir de Majesteleri demeyelim ki?"
Phillip krallara layık bir reveransla karşılık verdi. "Madem ısrar ediyorsunuz."



*******"Günden güne daha düşüncesiz ve kaba bir adam olup çıktığımı hissediyorum. Bu sabah uyandığımda, ilk düşüncem sırtımı ovman için seni uyandırmak oldu. Sadece o eşsiz hakimiyetim sayesinde kendimi yatak odana girmekten alıkoyabildim."
