“Show us all who you are,” Lady Takara says, then grins like she’s won. “Ladies, we should go. I’m sure our future queen would like time to enjoy this life.” I fill in her unspoken words,before it’s taken away.
I watch them go, then collapse onto my bed. She doesn’t even know for sure that I’m a fake, but everyone will know soon, if she’s telling the truth about this test.
Fuck. Is this really happening when it’s too late to go back?
And why didn’t someone warn me about this? And bysomeone, I mean Prince damn Sulien.
EIGHTEEN
Cassia
With my fists balled up and my heart pounding, I march to Prince Sulien’s room. He had to know about this test before we even started this plan.Was this all a joke to him? A game?They’re clearly going to discover I’m just a human, and then they’ll take my head.
I don’t knock. I barge in, ready to start shouting, but I have to stop short when I find him there with Prince Zane.Half-naked.Their glistening bare chests give me pause. They zap every thought from my head, and I’m left gaping at the sight before me.
They’re in nothing but towels. Water slides down their bare skin, heading to whatever’s concealed beneath the little towels, and my head starts to conjure up the bits of them I’m missing. Even though the bits I can see are more than appetizing.
Fuck. How can men be this good looking? This muscular?
I realize I’m staring with my mouth hanging open and close it. They’re both looking back at me, frozen in shock, twin expressions of surprise on their handsome faces. I know I need to talk before they do, and I destroy any power I have in this situation.
Speak. Fucking speak!
“What have you two been doing?” I ask, my voice dripping with suspicion.
Uh, what? That isn’t what I planned to say.Hell. But what had I planned to say? The water droplets cascading down their pecs make me lick my lips. I’m suddenly very thirsty, and it’s hard to come up with a clear thought that doesn’t involve me on my knees licking these two dry.
I swallow hard.
They glance at each other, eyes wild, then back at me. It’d be comical if I wasn’t so damn turned on.
“We were practicing with our swords. And we just got out of the shower,” Prince Sulien says awkwardly, tightening his towel and shifting his feet.
My eyes grow wide. I imagine the two of them together. Water running down their hair, over their chests, to their hard cocks. I see them rubbing each other with soap, their hands sliding around, then down.
“You showered together?” I whisper, trying to rid myself of the image.
“There wereseparateshowers,” Prince Zane adds in a rush, his voice deeper than usual.
Does he know that my dirty thoughts need a long ass shower to get clean?
My brain scrambles for what to say. “And you needed to meet up to talk before you got dressed?”
And do they have these half-naked meetings frequently? Maybe I need to pop in more often…
“What are you doing here?” Prince Sulien asks, ignoring my inquiry, an edge to his words.
His irritated tone helps to snap me from my dirty thoughts. A little.
“I don’t know what I’m doing here. Maybe I was just drawn to your room by some kind of magical force,” I tell him sarcastically.
Prince Zane smiles seductively. “My room’s across the hall… If you ever feel a magical force and want to head there, you’re welcome.”
My cheeks feel hot, and my eyes dip lower to slide over that little towel of his. “Uh, yeah, maybe.” When I force my gaze back up, he’s grinning, and I realize he caught me in the act.
“Cassia, what’s really going on?” There’s Prince Sulien. The man without a heart, and with a terrible plan that might get me killed.
Anger and bitterness rear their ugly heads inside of me once more. “I’ve got some questions for you, Prince Sulien,” I reply, crossing my arms and glaring at him.
