To Keep Her Safe

CHAPTER FIFTY THREE

The night seemed long after the bath, the couple snuggled with each other on the bed. Their hearts beating louder, matching each other's pace. " It feels unreal ". Becca murmured, everything happened in a blur, her forced marriage with Saint felt just like yesterday.

" Believe me, I feel the same, my love ". Freen sighed, she never thought that getting the royal family's approval would be that easy and now she didn't have to worry. " But there is still something missing ". Becca added, she gulped down, she couldn't say what it exactly was but she had a feeling.

" I know what is missing ". Freen kissed Becca's forehead and got up from the bed, Becca pouted and sat up as well, not exactly liking the loss of contact between the two. Freen opened the door to their shared closet, finding her upper coat that she wore today, rummaging through its pocket and grabbing her prize.

" What are you doing, Freen ? ". Becca asked, completely confused by Freen's sudden actions, Freen put the box in her pocket and then turned around. " Come with me, love ". She grabbed Becca's hand and helped her get up from the bed, Becca groaned as she was tired but followed her lover nonetheless. Freen knelt down and helped Becca wear her slippers, Becca used Freen's shoulders as support.

" Where are you taking me at this time of the night ? ". Becca sighed as Freen was still not giving away the reason behind her actions. " Trust me ". Freen said and Becca groaned, Freen took their upper coats and made Becca wear hers, Becca got the idea that they were definitely leaving the palace but not sure where she was going.

" Are we running away again ? ". Becca asked and Freen chuckled as she shook her head to signal no. " Not going there again, love ". Freen added, Becca pouted, she didn't know why Freen hated the idea of them living in that cabin, Becca personally enjoyed their time together. " Why not ? Did you not enjoy having me anywhere you wanted ? Did you not enjoy hearing me scream for you ? ". Becca spoke without fear, she knew that Freen would be embarrassed if anyone heard her say it.

" Stop saying such things out loud, you should act gracefully as a princess should, Rebecca ". Freen replied, she was obviously turning into a darker shade of red, she just didn't want to admit, Becca did have a unique way to turn her on. " I promise to do so if you tell me where you are taking me ". Becca offered, Freen seemed to consider the offer but she shook her head just a few seconds after, Becca pouted and turned her face away from her lover.

" I promise to take only an hour of your time, I promise to tuck you in bed after we return. Is this offer good enough for you, my love ? ". Freen offered a replacement deal instead of agreeing to Becca's words, Becca sighed as her lover cutely promised her, she nodded and agreed at the end.

Freen chuckled and took Becca's hands in her own hands and dragged her out of her chamber, the nights were definitely colder than Freen had expected, it was close to December here. There was something different in their sneaking around than the previous times, there was no fear of being caught, everyone was aware that the princess had an affair with her guard when she was on duty, now that affair was on the road of being something permanent in the Princess's life.

Just when the couple stepped onto the grass of the front yard of the palace, Becca held Freen more close to her, it was not out of fear but out of the fear of the cold as a cold breeze hit her face and she sneezed. " You better make this quick because I don't want to catch a cold right now, Freen ". The princess glared at her lover, Freen gulped down as she nodded. Freen felt different from Becca, the cold didn't seem to have an effect on her, maybe it was because of the weight the situation had on her, the feeling of making it something special for Becca.

Freen tugged Becca towards a familiar direction, her eyes looked at Freen's face as she knew that where her lover was taking her, Becca wanted to stop but Freen was enthusiastic in taking Becca there. " No stop ". Becca mumbled, Freen halted her steps for a moment to turn around to look at her lover. " I know where we are going and I suggest we should do this some other time, I just don't feel okay ". Becca tried to reason, her lover understood her, the reason why she was hesitating right now.
