Lucas Walker took his gaze from the night sky and glanced at her face, illumined by the fireworks, immediately moved.
With a slight turn of his head, he kissed her cheek.
He lightly kissed her earlobe, "Ivana... shall we go back to our room to watch the fireworks?"
For almost a week, he had not touched her, restraining himself all through the day just so she could enjoy herself. Holding her in his arms now, he couldn't help but wish to hold her closer, to share a moment of intimacy.
Shuddering slightly at his touch, Ivana Bennett nodded gently.
He immediately took her little hand and led her away from the crowd with brisk steps.
Everyone was watching the show of fireworks, nobody noticed their departure.
Returning to the castle, they ascended the third floor together. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Lucas closed the door and stretched out his arm to pull Ivana to him, pressing her against the door.
Lowering his head, he captured her lips.
