Author's Note: I hope you like my story! Feel free to voice your opinion, ask any questions and point out any mistakes I make.

Cora's POV

"Amaro, what do you think you're doing? If I didn't know you or about our plan, I'd think that you're falling for Sabrina!" I exclaim in rage as I pace the length of my office. He snarls at me

"So what if I am falling for her? I can't help it! I just feel this pull to her that I can't explain or control." He declares "I think we might be soul bound." I gasp and sink down into one of the chairs in my office, not trusting my suddenly shaky legs to hold me up.

"What?"

"I just can't explain it. When I'm with her, I feel complete. I actually feel emotions. I don't feel constantly angry. When I'm not with her, there's a sensation in me that pulls me to her. I don't teleport around the castle looking for her, or just teleport to a place that I think she'll be, I am able to teleport right to her because of this feeling that pulls me to her like a magnet."

"Oh no. You are soul bound."

"So, if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to her now." Amaro vanishes, and I scream in frustration.

This was not supposed to happen.

Sabrina's POV

I wake up to see Amaro lying next to me in my bed. A smile comes to my face at the sight of him looking so vulnerable while he's sleeping. I lightly trace his fingers with the tip of my finger, and he smiles. I stop and flip my body around to face the wall, scared that he's going to wake up.

"Morning my little spitfire." Amaro says in a sexy sleepy voice as he pulls me back into his chest. I squeak

"Morning. What are you doing here?"

"I was sleeping with the girl I love." He states. Shock fills me. He loves me? No way. I decide to joke around a bit before telling him that I feel the same way

"Oh really? Where is she, did she get up to go to the bathroom?" Amaro growls playfully and starts tickling my sides

"No, she's right here." I laugh uncontrollably and take his hands away from my sides. I hold his wrists with my hands and turn so our arms are pinned between our bodies, and I am looking into his eyes. I see the love he has for me shining in their black depths and I smile.

"I love you too." I let go of his hands to run my fingers in his hair and pull his head to mine, then we kiss. It's passionate and deep, showing our unexpected love towards each other. He pulls away and rests his forehead on mine. We are both panting, trying to breathe normally again.

"You know, there's actually a term for what we are."

"Really? What is it?"

"We are soul bound. It happens within our kingdom. It's where two people's souls connect so well, just fit well together, that the become bound or connected to each other. That's what happened with us, I can feel it."

"I think I can too. That so cute!"

"Really?"

"What, I'm a sucker for romance." Amaro and I both grin at each other, and lie in my bed talking for a bit longer when I remember that I actually have to do things. "Amaro, I'd love to stay in bed with you but I am the heir to a kingdom so I have things to do. I'm going to get ready."
