We said our quick goodbyes and left to go to Syn's other place. I bit the inside of my cheek and fiddled with my hands in my lap as Syn drove us. My eyes were trained on the view outside the window that distracted me from my insane nervousness.
It didn't hit me that I'd truly be alone with Syn. More alone than we've ever been since I met him. If I thought about it there was always someone close by. Whether we were in the palace or elsewhere.
Syn laid his hand on my thigh and I turned to look at him. He quickly winked at me and returned to focusing on driving. I got lost in his looks once again as I took in the scene in front of me.
His black hair was blowing in the wind as his green eyes remained directly in front of us. I rarely saw him wearing any sort of white so the white button-down shirt adorning his amazing chest was a new sight.
When he noticed my stare he squeezed my thigh. "Why are you staring at me?"
"No reason," I said quickly as I averted my gaze. His hand moved to my upper thigh and my breath hitched. He began slowly tapping his long fingers along my thigh and I smiled as I took his one hand into mine.
I kissed it and he glanced at me. Missing him, was an understatement for this week. I was going insane without him.
"And here we are," Syn said as he turned the steering wheel and pulled up to a gate.
He rolled down his window and typed into a keypad and the gate opened for us. I watched as Syn pulled into a large driveway with a luxurious mansion sitting at the end of it.
"Why is your heart beating so fast, Princess?" Syn asked as he parked the car.
"Just a little nervous," I admitted.
He turned off the car and turned to me. "Nervous about what?"
I shrugged and let out a breath. "We're going to be alone."
"Are you afraid to be alone with me?"
"I don't know," I muttered.
Syn eyed me for a moment and sat up in his seat. He held his hand out between us and I reached out to hold it, but he flipped it upside down and snapped. Black smoke came from his hands and when he turned it up there was a rose.
I grinned at the spell and looked back up at him. "Is it for me?"
He tilted his head at me and raised his brow. "No, I just like making roses appear out of thin air for myself."
I rolled my eyes at his sarcasm and picked up the rose. Within seconds I watched as the rose turned black in my hands, the now rotten rose petals began to fall off and I looked at Syn in confusion. "What did I do?" I whispered.
Syn looked just as lost as I did and I sunk into my seat. I still didn't know what I was and it wasn't looking good at all. "That used to happen to...umm..." Syn said lowly.
