‘I don’t really like chocolate much, which everyone here knows, so I don’t get it all that often. Whenever I do, from now on I will pass it onto you.” He chuckled as I stared at it, I couldn’t possibly eat it, I’d get absolutely lynched.

“I couldn’t, it’s yours, and if I’m caught taking it then…” he rolled his eyes and walked over to sit down next to me, he gently took a piece of chocolate out of my hand and held it up to his own lips.

“We can share it, if it’ll make you feel better, ok?” He quickly placed the piece between his lips and instantly drew my attention to them. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Lewis is a very attractive man. “Please, I requested some so I could give it to you, Here…” He broke a piece off and held it up for me to take.

I gently took the plain chocolate and sniffed it relishing in it’s sweet scent, before placing it between my own lips. My mouth was instantly flooded with more flavor than I’d had in months and a small moan escaped at the sensation. It was absolutely amazing how much something so simple can mean so much.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment, I found it so sad that one tiny piece of chocolate could make my entire day, hell, I think it might’ve made my entire year. I chuckled before opening my eyes only to see Lewis staring at me holding the final two pieces.

“One each.” I nodded and quickly popped the second one in my mouth, sucking it and feeling it melt onto my taste buds, the second one tasted even better than the first. “I don’t think I have ever seen you smile like that…” my eyes met his and I smiled kindly.

“I haven’t had anything like that since the new world. Thank you, it really was lovely.” He placed one of his large hands on my dress cladded knee and smiled gazing at my lips subconsciously I let my own gaze fall to his own set, and I felt my heartbeat jump slightly in my chest.

“You’re really beautiful.” He caught me off guard with his words, but I found myself blush at them. How I was beautiful was beyond me, I just saw someone who was damaged. After a minute of looking at each other he very slowly leant his head down, and continued to do so until I could feel his hot breath on my face. What on earth was he doing? Was he going to…

We were interrupted by the library door opening and Lewis was extremely quick to withdraw from my form. The rattling sound of chain met my ears and my head moved slowly to regard the two figures now standing in

the open doorway.

“Lewis, I’m sure you don’t mind keeping an eye on my mate also, so you? I was informed to bring him here.” The kings aunty spoke in her screechy voice, the question of course was completely rhetorical as she proceeded to peck the man next to her on the cheek before speaking to Lewis once again. “Once you are finished in here, have a guard escort him back to our room. I’m now residing in the palace.” Huh… she ran her hand through the man’s hair and messed it up slightly more than it already was. “You be good now baby, you can’t run away anymore. We need you now.” She rubbed her hand over her gown covered stomach before exiting the room. The doors quickly closed and the man looked towards me.

He looked pale, however was much cleaner than when I last saw him. His beard was completely clean shaven making him look younger than when I met him, his weight was still questionable however mine was also, so I suppose that was just the treatment we were given. He was dressed in a fine high necked regal navy blue suit, however on his ankles a pair of restraints were placed, they were held together by a long chain and his wrists

were in cuffs connected by the same type of chain as his feet both of them giving him easy movement while still being confined.

“Carlos?!” I stood up quickly wondering why he was suddenly let out of the dungeon after being down there for so long, when upon seeing me, the man I knew to be strong willed crumpled to his knees in front of me. His tear ridden eyes met mine and his face screamed nothing but desperation.

“She’s pregnant!” Was the only thing he spoke before burying his face in his thin hands in defeat.
