“Princess, you are so beautiful. I can't imagine you allowed me to love you. Many in this city long for the privilege of owning you. But you gave yourself to me, out of all who want you”, Dordrich begins in an intimate tone. "Why? I know the attraction between us was strong from the start. But all these years, all those men by your side. I of all people, Princess?”.
Amazed by the vulnerability in his voice, his openness, I pause for a moment. I've never seen this side in a man. All men I've encountered are confident, knowing what they're worth. Dordrich sounds a bit insecure as if he is a real human being with real feelings, capable of suffering. I have experienced this with neither Danner nor Aziel. And to be honest, I really appreciate this.
With a relieved sigh I let go of my Haute attitude.
