CHAPTER 42 Call Me by My Name

  Rhea's POV

  Daemon leaned in, closer so that our noses could briefly collide. I can feel his hot breath against my lips, I nervously swallowed the big lump that has managed to form in my throat. 

  I suddenly felt hot, the atmosphere was not in my favor at all because I could feel the tension in the air. What... What is he up to? I just couldn't tell because I couldn't think straight.

  Brushing his lips past my cheeks to my ear, "Daemon to you," I felt him say it like it was the right thing to do.

  Gulping hard, I placed my hand over his chest and suddenly pushed him off me, his gaze met mine again and I can see the coldness in them for our sudden detachment from each other. 

  "I am sorry, my King, but it is taboo and against the custom to address a king by his first name," clasping my hands together, I lowered my head.
