His touch is so intoxicating I almost forget to leave before midnight.
I'm used to cruelty after a life serving under my stepmother, but the handsome man at the Royal ball treats me so kindly, so gently, it leaves me breathless.
Drunk off the rich wine at the ball, I shamelessly indulge in the passion he ignites within me.
His touches are fire, burning deliciously in ways I had never felt before that night.
It's so addicting, I almost forget to leave before midnight.
When he shows up at my manor the next day with my glass slipper, claiming to be the Prince, I could hardly believe it.
More so when he whisked me away to the castle to marry me, with more tender touches that leave me hot and breathless with desire.
It's as though I'm finally getting my happily ever after...
But the Prince is keeping some secrets from me, and as our wedding date approaches, it gets harder to ignore the lies.
Will the Prince's gentle touches turn vicious? Or will I be the cause of undoing my happy ending?
