I curse under my breath, I was caught. I had thought I had more time than this but, I was wrong. Theo had gotten out of his meeting early, or had just left because he wanted to check on me. What was I going to tell him?
Think.
Think Yasmine.
"I was taking a walk." I say, which wasn't entirely a lie
He looks me dead in the eye, his cheeks are red, he had no coat on even though it was almost twenty degrees out. But what alarmed me the most, is that he looked genuly scared and concerned.
"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was calmer but I could still tell that he was still angry
"I didn't want to bother you."
He kisses me so hard I almost fall over, but his strong arms hold me in place
He pulls away and kisses my cheek
"You scared the living hell out of me." He places his hand on my stomach
I give him a small smile
"I'm alright. We're alright." I place my hand over his
"Don't you ever do that again, do you understand me?" He grabs my chin so I'm looking straight at him
I nod, he sighs and lets go of me
I start to take off my white fur coat but he stops me by putting his hands over mine and clutching them
"What are you doing?" He puts my coat back on me
"You don't have a coat, so I was giving you mine." I explain
He smiles and shakes his head
Gosh, his smile was beautiful
"You don't need to do that darling, I'm just fine."
"Are you sure?" I question
He chuckles "Yes, I'm sure." He leans over and kisses my forehead
"Have you been alright since the last time I saw you?" He asks as we walk up to the two large golden doors that lead to the back of the castle. The five guards nod to Theo and I and open them for us. As soon as we step inside, the warm air welcomes me. The warmth engulfing me in it's arms.
An older woman servant comes from behind me and takes my coat for me
Theo and I start walking down the left castle's hallway
"You mean only thirty minutes ago? I'm fine." I say, coming off a little harsher than I had intended
He nods "He hasn't been kicking or anything?" He looks down at my stomach
It was customary for royals to call their unborn child "he, him, son". They, of course wouldn't want a daughter, who would become king when it was time for Theo and I to step down from the throne? But, I had a feeling Theo would love our child unconditionally.
I chuckle "No, not today. I'm very thankful."
"Theo!" I hear a familiar voice from behind me
We both turn to the voice, which was coming down from the end of the hallway
It was Jack. I almost roll my eyes. He was wearing all black, as always. His hair had been cut, not too short though. He still looked good, there was black facial hair along his jawline and his eyes still sparkled like they had months ago.
"Jack, how are you?" Theo nods
Jack looks at me, anger in his eyes as they land on my stomach but his mouth is still twisted into a smile
"I'm good, just got back from France. How are you?" He asks Theo
Theo smiles and looks at me "Never been better."
I smile and grab his hand, which he intertwines our fingers
Jack smiles, but I can tell it's not a kind smile, it was a dark and twisted smile
I could tell, but apparently no one else could because Theo said
"Would you like to join us for dinner tonight?" He asks Jack
Jack nods and smiles at me "Of course."
*******************************************
"Do you want me to lay with you my darling?" Theo asks as I go into the large bed
We were in our bedroom, getting ready for my daily afternoon nap
I nod and feel the bed sink next to me
He wraps his arms around me and places his hands over my stomach
"I love you both so much." He whispers
I turn so I'm facing him and kiss him
I leave trails of kisses down his neck, then on his bare chest
He moans and runs a hand through my hair
"I've missed your touch." He mumbles closing his eyes
"You don't have to, just tell me how you're feeling." I tell him, looking into his eyes
"We can't, I can't have you touching me like this. It could lead to things."
"It won't, all I'm doing is touching you. There's no harm in it." I brush my finger over his lower region
"Yasmine." He moans, grabbing my hand and placing it back where it was a few seconds ago
"Touch me, please." He begs
