"I can't take you home with me because you still need treatment. Something came up that I need to personally handle in the kingdom, so Eero will accompany you," said Orig after making sure Taya was in a good mood.
"Umm, do you mean as a bodyguard? That's fine," she mumbled as she moved the last bite on her plate with her spoon. Orig slowly lifted her chin. His eyes burned with a desire to possess her, to hold her close, an overwhelming desire for them to become one.
"Don't be late," her response sent a rush of butterflies through his stomach, doubling the excitement in his heart. She wanted to go with him to his kingdom, and she was no longer angry. 'What a relief,' he thought, biting his lower lip as he stared into her eyes.
"Wait for me, Taya," he said, kissing her forehead before leaving with a wide smile. Eero felt fear from his commander's smile but shook his head and went inside to greet Taya, who had told him to feel at ease around her.
