Sneak Peek
Before she had the chance to worry, Erik had finished exchanging a few words with the Queen, who gave him a nod. In quick, large strides, he moved towards Jessica, and the crowd parts to let the prince through. It was probably the first time he had left his place, and conversation around them gradually died down. People turned to see what the fuss was all about, and she felt her pulse trip.
Frozen in place with apprehension, feeling a flush creep up her body, Jessica waited for Erik to approach. He came close and sketched a bow, which drew a few gasps around them. Refusing to play the demure damsel, Jessica smiled at him.
Just imagine he’s the only one here, she told herself silently, again and again.
Erik reached out to take her hand and pressed a chaste kiss to it.
He drew closer than decorum allowed it, saying softly just for her ears, “You look absolutely stunning, Miss Kaiser. Easily the most beautiful woman in the ballroom. I’d bet a crown jewel that a lot of men envy me right now.”
Something inside her loosened at his words, at the teasing tone and the fire in his gaze. “And I’d bet your whole royal fortune that even more women envy me right now.”
His eyes sparkled, reminding her of the sapphires he and his family were wearing. He finally let go of her hand, his fingers brushing hers lightly and longingly.
“Are you alright, Jessica?” he asked in an even lower tone.
They were standing so close that she could smell him, cologne and fresh linen, and a hint of the woodsy outdoors and cold, glacial streams. Oh, how she wanted to glide her fingers over his jacket lapels and find out how the textured material felt. But she was certain even standing so close to him and having him address her was already breaking a dozen protocols.
“Yes, I think I am…now that you’re by my side.”
