Cardan could have caught her but he didn't and she was grateful for that because after she sneaked into the bed beside the sleeping Esme. She did not leave Esme's side till they left the heavenly realm the next day, even when the cruel woman antagonized her for being clingy.
And good for her, both the Princes were summoned by the King. By the time they came out, Esme and her were leaving and Luciana did not even look into Cardan's eyes.
Luciana believed it was her primal urges talking that night. She had never been kissed the way Cardan kissed her as if he craved her. And maybe that was what stripped her rationality. She convinced herself that.
But after they came back to their kingdom, Luciana found herself thinking back about Cardan every once in a while. She did not think much of it.
Any woman would do that after being kissed by the most unexpected man.
''Come back to me,'' Cardan snapped his fingers in front of her.
