Darren hurled himself to the bed "What a night" He moaned into the cushion and grabbed a handful of the furry sheets. He steadied his breath as he recalled his daring move. He gulped then turned to his side, looked at his hand and noticed it was still trembling. He used every muscle in his body to stifle his whimper and he couldn't believe he faked his courage so well.
He didn't know how long his few minutes of courage would last, but he was lucky it worked. If it didn't, she would have taken him for granted and called her guards to throw him out "Arm is so lucky…" He frowned after calling her name. A few minutes passed and he repositioned himself to sleep. He couldn't wait to get the gem. He hoped the Queen wouldn't change her mind despite the blackmail. If that possibility did happen, Artemis would have to trade her virgin blood for it.
