(Knock, knock, knock!)
The sudden rapping at the door made the couple jump to attention. Whispering, Bella sat up, holding on to Jett's leg behind her. "Oh no. If I'm caught..."
"Shh... don't move," he whispered in her ear. Yelling to the person at the door, "Who is it?"
"It's Scarlett. Have you seen Bella? The Duchess and guards are looking for her. She's not in her quarters."
"Shit... hide," Jett whispered, pulling the princess to her feet. He pulled his clothes on before heading to the door. "Give me a second. I'm in my boxers."
Bella grabbed her clothes and ran for the adjoining bathroom. Once he saw she was inside, Jett went to answer the door swinging it open quickly, annoyed at the interruption. "What? I haven't seen her. She was out at the courtyard earlier. Go check there."
Scarlett peeked around him into the room. "You sure? Ace said he thought he saw her come this way."
