Adam leaned forward and kissed Ella on her forehead, "sleep now," he whispered, his hand still stroking her cheek lovingly, "tomorrow is going to be a long day."
"okay," Ella responded, she closed her eyes trying to fall asleep but found herself opening them again. "What about your parents? And your home back in Gavaria, don't you have duties to them?"
Adam sighed and tucked a loc of hair behind Ella's ear, "I do, but I also have a duty to my heart." The dark haired prince had spent too much time pursuing Ella, and finally when he had her, he'd lost her, he was not going to let that happen again. "Nathaniel is probably losing his mind trying to get you back, I need to make sure you're tucked away safely first before I can face him."
"Face him?"
Adam flipped on his back, his eyes fixed on the roof of the tent, "he's not going to let you go without a fight Ella."
