Chapter 21: An Interrupted Moment

Three quick knocks at the door startle me out of Dominic's amazing, deep, kiss and all I want to do is throw something at the person who did it.

"Your Majesty?" Victoria peeks her head in the room. "Can I get you anything before you retire?" She addresses me, but her eyes are on Dominic.

"No!" I speak so quickly, but it's obvious what we were doing before she barged in. And she knows it. "Thank you, Victoria." I don't want to fight with her or start any more trouble, but I do want her to understand that unless I need her, stay out. Of course, this isn't the appropriate time for that conversation so I smile and say, "I'll see you in the morning."

Victoria grins and nods to Dominic before dropping into a full bow, escaping out the door. 

And again, everything just got super awkward.

"It is getting late," Dominic whispers.

"No," I whine, my arms tightening around his waist. "Stay a little longer."

He shakes his head, gently pulling my arms away, and steps back.
