He slowly lowered his lips to hers and kissed her for a long moment. "Mmmm," he sighed against her mouth. "You taste so good, ma cherie."
"Like champagne and all the delicious flavors from tonight?"
He rubbed his nose against hers. "Even better. I wonder if your blood will taste just like the lobster and champagne. I can't believe you agreed to be my queen."
Staring up into his eyes, she looked like a scared fawn. "That makes two of us. But how ... how are you going to defeat your family?"
