Chapter 44: A good color on you

Serena frowned, she sat up straight and met his gaze with a sharp glare. "Love or duty?" She asked. 

Damian clasped her cheek, he gave it a gentle squeeze resisting the urge to move forward and kiss her. Her appearance was too cute and too tempting to him. 

He brushed his hand against her skin, Serena shivered and tightly held his shirt. She laid her head back on his chest finding her answer in his eyes. 

She had found the perfect friend and lover. And they were developing a bind so beautiful that she understood him without him having to voice out his words.

The two had their meal in silence, enjoying the comfortable feeling resonating around them. Serena closed her eyes, feeling peaceful for the first time since she woke up. 

It was that one moment when she didn't have to worry about the world coming to an end. Her enemies conspiring against her or her plans against them, she was calm and happy.
