Logain followed the prince away from the crowd of guests, grateful to finally be away from all the commotion. Social settings like this always drained him of his energy, so he was glad once they were away from it all. He clasped Casimir's hand, letting the prince lead him wherever he wanted. Unsurprisingly, the prince led the warlock to his bedroom.

The warlock couldn't suppress the urge to roll his eyes once they were alone behind closed doors. Casimir's room was far away from the partygoers, so no one should stumble upon them and bother them. Teasingly, Logain commented, "You've been dying to get me in your room all night."

"Specifically in my bed," Casimir said, his voice low and seductive.

Logain blushed. He didn't forget that part, but he wasn't sure how to respond. His silence made Casimir caress his face, and before he could react, Casimir's lips found his once more. Unlike in front of everyone in the ballroom, Logain didn't hold back as he returned the kiss. Casimir's hands traveled down to Logain's waist, but he didn't dare travel lower. He wanted to savor this moment with Logain, and the prince wasn't sure how far he should take it. He didn't know if Logain was ready for more than kissing and touching.

When Logain pulled away, he had a question for the prince. Something had been on his mind ever since they parted ways with the clergyman. "You and Amaris . . . did you plan something? Why were you thanking him for watching me?"

Slowly, Casimir nodded. "I was worried about you when I left you alone on the balcony. Many of the nobles were speaking about us when I went to talk to my mother. A few wanted to get to know you, and of course, many people were suspicious. No one guessed that you are a man, but some thought that you and I planned this to get me out of marriage. My mother included. So, before anyone could approach you and figure out what was going on, I asked Amaris to step in. I would have asked my sister or Sebastian, but he was the first person I saw, and I was desperate to keep you safe. I'm sorry about that. I'm surprised Amaris even agreed to help."

He might not have liked spending time with the clergyman, but Logain could understand Casimir's decision. He sighed and answered, "It's fine. But . . . Amaris was attempting to make me doubt you and our relationship. I know about your past of hooking up with men, and I have faith in you, but his words still bother me. I-I really do love you, Casimir. I think I've loved you for a while now, but I am also scared of loving you. I don't want my heart to be broken again."

"And I have no intention of breaking your heart, Logain. I mean it when I say I love you, and for the first time in my life, I am truly looking forward to my future. You are the most important person to me, and no matter what, I will make sure we can be together. We're finally engaged. The next step will be making sure my parents accept this relationship." Casimir meant every word.

They were so close; Casimir wouldn't let this opportunity slip through his fingers. He might have loved Amaris in the past, but this was the first time Casimir wanted to spend the rest of his life with someone. Logain meant the world to him. Society would not dictate their future.

In response, Logain reached up to kiss the prince again. Despite the obstacles they would need to overcome, Logain looked forward to what they could achieve, even if things didn't work out. The warlock almost gave up on finding love before Casimir walked into his life.

This time, when they kissed, Casimir didn't hold back. He could no longer suppress his desires as he kissed him deeply and backed him up against the bed. Logain let out a yelp when he fell back on the bed. Casimir was on top of him quickly, kissing him passionately once more. The warlock gripped the prince's shirt. If he didn't stop him, Casimir wouldn't hold back. Logain could feel the prince's burning desire, and he couldn't deny that he wanted him as well. Ever since the ball, Logain knew he wanted to spend the night with him.
