Chapter 9
Sighing with pleasure, Dexter dug into the food, his earlier pain, fatigue, and fear dimming into nothing more than a dream as he ate. 3
Once Prince Leopold brought Dexter to safety, he could not stop thinking about the young peasant. It didn’t take long before he became obsessed with the man who’d made him smile. The prince didn’t know if it was some sort of fluke, or if he could order Dexter to make him smile again. But he felt a strong, protective urge over the stranger, and he wanted to be sure that he was warm and comfortable, well-fed and well-rested.
But before he could see to Dexter’s well-being, he needed to introduce himself. Which is never easy for a prince.
