Chapter 74: UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
"Huh," David exhaled a heavy sigh as he strolled through the expansive corridors, his mind replaying the moments he had just shared with Shay. Their steamy encounter had been abruptly cut short by her sense of duty.
Shay had pleaded with him to let her prepare him for the day and then rush off to handle some event preparations that the head maid had assigned. With a delegation from neighbouring counties expected in the next two weeks, the staff was buzzing with activity. David suspected it had something to do with the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.
She had practically assaulted him with her pleading chestnut eyes, and, unable to resist, David had reluctantly allowed her to go. But not before they indulged in a long, heated minute of kissing, their arms wrapped tightly around each other in a bittersweet embrace.
