Dangerous Illusion

41○

Walking into the living room his mother looks around at all the balloons and turns around to face me with so much happiness in her face.

"This is perfect. Thank you so much"

Shaking my head and smiling at her.

"You don't need to thank me. I was happy to do it."

Rose comes in and brings us the wine and cheese and lays it on the table in the middle of the living room before leaving again.

Hours go by as we talk and eat and Lucca glows in the attention his grandmothers giving him when Camilla looks up at me and askes if she could talk to me in private. I meet Callens eyes quickly before agreeing and leading her up stairs to my bedroom.

We sit down on the bed and she starts to talk.

"John told me about what Callens father did to you-" she stops talking suddenly and watching me closely.

"Umm.. Yes. He was a horrible man and Callen did tell me a few things about your past with his father and i just wanted to say I'm sorry and I'm happy your here with us now"

She grabs my hands and signs softly.

"Callen. You know he was my sweet boy. He would try to save me from his fathers beatings even taking a few himself. I tried my hardest to protect him as much as i could-" she stops before continuing.

" Everyone expects him to be like his father. Cold. Doing whatever he has to do to keep the family business up, but he was never like his father. Of course on the outside his what this world needs him to be but underneath his still my sweet boy."

She looks into my eyes, silently begging me to understand.

"I can see that. Sometimes his cold and mean while others his warm and sweet"

His mood swings as i call them to myself obviously.

"I see the way he looks at you, his trying. Please give him the chance to show you what's truly underneath the cold king"

"I will" i tell her.

Holding my hands tighter she continues to tell me stories of little Callen causing us both to laugh we don't even here my bedroom door opening.

Callen walks in and we both stop laughing like we been caught. Well the truth is we was caught but we don't want him knowing.

"Luccas looking for you momma" Callen tells her walking closer to the bed.

"Ohhh yes let me go play with him somemore. I have years of spoiling to make up for" She gets off the bed and rushes down the stairs.

Callen sits down on the bed once she is gone and pulls me into his lap.

"You okay baby?" he askes me softly.

I see what his mother meant. He was made to be a ruthless king but underneath his not. Sure he has his moment's when he can be the ruthless king he needs to be but most time in private he can be sweet as candy though I'll never tell him that.

"Everything's fine baby. Your mom and I was just talking. No need to worry" i lean over and kiss him softly on the lips.

He wraps his arms around me and kisses me back hard.
