Bab 49: Chapter 48: LUCIEN

Her brow wrinkled in a frown and her eyes fluttered open seconds before she sat bolt upright in bed. She looked around in a daze for a few seconds before her eyes landed on me relaxing against the pillows watching her. "My sisters are calling for me, I need to go." I didn't answer, just raised my brow since we'd been all through this already.

"Lucien, I said I have to go!"

"I love it when you call my name! Now princess, is that anyway to think of your husband?"

"Stay out of my head, who invited you?" She put her hands over her ears as if that would keep me out, though she knew better.

She's so cute I couldn't help taking her down again. But in the split second I glimpsed into her mind I saw and felt the real distress there. She wasn't just saying it to get away from me, she was genuinely worried about them and I guess I can see why.
