I leaned forward, my lips by her ear. “Yes, but as you are going to be part of that royal family, you may know.”
“We are not taking it slow anymore, are we?”
“You do not want to know? Even if it concerns you?”
She looked at me for a long time and then nodded. “Okay, tell me.”
“Once we get home.”
Chapter 20
––––––––
I would be lying to myself if I said I didn’t feel anything when he said, “Once we get home.”
It was my home. But knowing he considered it part his—not in a bad way, but a place for us both—was kind of nice. However, when we walked inside, and Iskandar and Wolfgang excused themselves, I figured whatever he was going to tell me was serious. He didn’t say anything at first, taking off his jacket and tossing it onto the couch. I was just beginning to get anxious when he turned back to me.
“Before we speak, do you mind helping me get this thing off?” He pointed to the wig on his head. “Your mother glued it down, and it itches like mad.”

“What? Is your underwear lying on the bed or something? Believe me, I will not mind,” he teased, and I felt the urge to kick him.

“I will be prince-like back in Ersovia, but here with you, I just want to be a man,” he said as he stepped inside my deep-pink bedroom. Behind my bed was a mural of a garden with flowers and wild peacocks. There were books and song sheets all over the place, but other than that, there was nothing really special.
“Strangely, it is exactly as I thought it would be,” he said, turning back to me.
“Why is that strange?”
