She was not sure how it happened. Maybe it was the way he made sure she always ate first or the way he caressed her when she accidentally fell asleep on the couch. He moved her to his bed and lent her his warmth. He asked her about her day and always put her needs first. Even though she was serving him.

She smiled as she remembered yesterday. He told her to meet him in the gardens at midnight. She left in the only dress she owned. A blush dress that was long and tulled but simple as it sparkled. He looked at her with so much in her eyes as he told her she was beautiful. This was the night he confessed all of his love for her. He was on his knees, his eyes burning with sincerity and longing. To see the crown prince, a young man of 18, the future of this country, with hopes and dreams on his knees for her, a simple servant, made her heart beat faster. He wanted to devote himself to her.

She admitted her feelings as well even though she had been harboring them thinking they would never be reciprocated, after all, he's a prince, and what was she?

He kissed her, like in the stories. When the guy finally gets the girl and he tips her and kisses her in the rain or the gardens. It was a kiss full of passion and fire, it was so honest.

So beautiful.

It was love, not lust.

"I love you more than life." That's what he told her.

She touched her lips with a smile.

She prepared the water for him and made her way up.

She opened the door but someone from the other side already did.

Dorian grabbed the bucket from her and hauled it herself.

"Your majesty."

He looked back at her.

"Don't call me that."

"Dorian this is my job."

"No, your only job is to spend time with me, why do you think I assigned you to be my personal maid? Now that I know you're mine, you're not doing any work, I had to make you do that as an excuse for you to be around me."

I rolled my eyes.

He sets the bucket down in the bathroom.

He looks at me.

"Now, bathe with me."

"W-what." Her cheeks warmed in embarrassment.

He strides to her "you heard me."

She grabs his hand and he leads her to the bathroom. He begins to strip and she embarrassingly does so as well.

"Don't turn around."

She gets on the far side of the gigantic bathing room and slips into the water so he can't see her. Then she closes her eyes.

"Come in."

She hears a splash and then she sees him in front of her grinning with the water making his eyes more blue. His hair shone with water.

He corners her in the tub.

"D-dorian-"

"Shh"

He presses himself against her and she gasps in shock, and then she sees it.

He looks down in surprise. She grabs his head but his eyes are closed.

"Sorry, don't look at me."

"Open your eyes, they're beautiful."

"No, you'll think I'm a monster."

She kisses his lips and his eyes open in shock.

Beautiful rubies stare back at her and she smiles.
