GIDEON💗

She watched him as he selected a white shirt that had gold embroidery around most of its edges. It was very pretty. Her eyes were glued on his thick smooth back, admiring his muscles and the sexy contours. He pulled the shirt on then, covering the lovely sight. She found herself groaned inwardly in disappointment. Oh bother! He buttoned it up -turning to her with acutely alert eyes-leaving the three top buttons of the shirt open to leave enough skin for her to feast her hungry fleshly eyes. He flung a white cape with the same kind of embroidery over his shoulders and tied it neatly like a pro. He went to get a comb and she wondered why he didn't have someone to help him do these things, after all he was an emperor, he should have. He picked the comb up and slowly combed his long dark hair. He was ready when he dropped the comb and turned to her. He smiled at her.

'I shall return to you soon my sweet Rose,' he assured her. She said nothing to him. He came to her then and took her head in his palms. He leaned forward and planted a light kiss on her forehead. 'Stay well for me Jagi,' he said to her against the skin of her forehead. He pulled back then and stared at her. She kept mute, not knowing what to say, already beginning to terribly miss him even before he was gone. He removed his hands from her face and kept them to himself. 'Won't you say something to me Mine?' he asked her. She shook her head. He shrugged slightly at her answer and stepped back. 'Don't miss me too much Rose. Goodbye then my sweet.' He walked out of the dressing room. She didn't follow him. He was headed towards the bedroom door when he heard her come out of the dressing room.

'Gideon,' she called. Her voice halted him. He whirled around to her. She had just addressed him by name, something he had asked her to do ever since she woke up from that deep sleep in his empire. He had so gotten used to her calling him beast that he had never brought it up again, ever. He was genuinely pleased to hear her call him that, his name.

'Yes sweet Rose?' he answered her with a one of a kind grin that made her heart skip two beats.

'Goodbye,' she wished him with a small wave. He nodded at her farewell. She had never been good at this. He smiled at her in acknowledgement.

'Take care of yourself,' he told her. She nodded at his words. Then, suddenly, he turned and left the hugr bedroom. The spacey place instantly felt bone chilling empty to her. She sat down on the bed and sighed loudly. She would really miss him she thought with a sigh. That meant only one thing, she was in this more deeper than she had initially thought. She heard someone giggle on the other side of the bedroom door. She stood and went to the door to check it out. She found Xiera there, laughing at something in the small book that she was reading.

'My Lady,' Xiera greeted, getting to her feet in the speed of light and offering a slight bow to her.

'Where is Vura?' she asked the warrior who was busy tucking the book into her pocket. She suspected that it was an erotica. Otherwise, why would the warrior try to hide it so desperately? She smiled.

'She just left with the Emperor. She must have gone to say goodbye to her twin, the emperor's aide,' she informed her mistress referring to Cora. 'She would soon be back My Lady,' she assured her.

'Alright,' she answered.

'Do you need anything My Lady?' Xiera asked her.
