Chapter 18

!!WARNING!!
STEAMY STUFF AHEAD

NOBODY'S POV

He was happy. Happy she accepts his apology. He has never wanted anyone to forgive him more than her. He's never cared enough to apologize to anyone else. But her? To have her angry with him? Torture. It clawed at him.

He carried her as he walked back to their shared room. She had fallen asleep while watching the stars and he didn't want to wake her, so he carried her back to the castle.

He was about to open the door when he heard soft footsteps coming their way.

"Daddy?" Violet called out, tiredly. This made Nightmare chuckle softly.

"Violet? What are you doing up?" Violet was in her night dress. She just got out of bed, it seemed.

"I had a bad dream." She said. "Mommy usually lets me sleep with her when I have a bad dream." She says.

"Come on in, then you can sleep with us tonight." Nightmare said and wrapped an apprendage around her.

YOUR POV

THREE DAYS LATER

What's wrong with me? I asked myself. Eversince my little outing with Nightmare, I've been feeling giddy around him. I've definitely been more trusting with him and he's been proving himself worthy of that trust, with the little acts of care he's been showing.

I know that he apologized and I forgave him but seriously! Is this the same Nightmare I knew five years ago?! The cruel, cold-hearted, evil Nightmare?

So I shook the worry away and focused on our current relationship.

I flinched when I felt something wrap itself around my waist. I yelp when it pulls me into a familiar lap. I look up at Nightmare, who was only looking down at me with a sly smirk.

"Nightmare!!! You scared me!!!" I yell.

"Sorry, my dear. It was not my intention. You didn't answer when I called." He said.

"You called me?"

"A few times. What's on your mind, Moonlight?" He asked as he nuzzled me closer to him.

"Oh... Nothing important." I say. He only gives me that look. He knows when I lie.

"Don't lie to me, (Y/N). You know what I can do." He warned. I sigh.

"It's just... I was thinking about our relationship." I say.

"You're doubting yourself? Me?" He asked. I flinch, proving him right.

"I trust you. I really do. I now trust you completely. Its just... I have this doubt in the back of my mind that I just can't shake. It keeps telling me that you're only tricking me into trusting you. And honestly..."
