Laina and Dante carefully made their way through the corridors of Laina's quarters until they came to the spare guest room. They quickly headed in, with Titan trailing closely behind. When Laina closed the door behind her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness no one saw us," she said as she placed her hand over her heart.
Dante grinned as he came up close to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing them closer together. He gently caressed her cheek as he looked at her lovingly.
"What are you afraid of? Afraid of what people might say?" he asked in soft tones.
Laina blushed bright red as she pushed Dante away. As much as she tried to deny it, there was a part of her that wanted to be in his embrace.
She cleared her throat, "Aren't you worried about your reputation…"
"My reputation? No, not one bit, Princess Laina," Dante swiftly replied.
