Bab 125: Chapter 125

Cam wanted to stay buried inside Kayda a while longer. Say like forever. Yet the reality was they'd taken a risk.

While in the throes of passion, he wouldn't have heard anyone sneaking up on them. He'd made them vulnerable. But how could he resist her?

He didn't want to. Once he rescued the princess, she wouldn't need him anymore. She'd send him on his way, and he'd return to being a man without a purpose. Even worse than before because he'd somehow managed to fall in love.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this. Not this quickly, or with a woman who could do so much better than him.

A princess of ashes was still a princess.

And he was no hero, even as he made plans to save them all. What else could he do?

For the moment, he was needed, and he'd bask in it as long as he could.
