Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Doubt

I had no reason to trust Theo’s word. In fact, I had no idea what he was trying to tell me. Why wouldn’t he give me the facts if he knew the truth? Because he thought I wouldn’t believe him?

I guess it was a legitimate concern. I had been the one to accuse him in the first place.

I’m on my way back from the dungeon when I spot Sebastian. He catches my gaze, his expression blank. He glances down the hall before gesturing with his head to join him in his room.

I hesitate. Not a great idea, especially given my lack of self-control around both the king and prince. Despite my pleasure from the night before, seeing the prince makes my body ready to go all over again. My feet carry me toward him without thinking.

Sebastian tugs me into his room, shutting the door behind him. I’ve never been in his bedroom before. It’s what I would’ve predicted for him–dark and moody decor.

He pins me against the door, leaning closer but I shove him off.
