Ceres ~
“You look beautiful, my darling,” Lord Kael had told me before Sloane entered the great hall.
His eyes were hooded with desire as he looked at my figure in the dress he had bought for me.
I couldn’t help the butterflies that fluttered alive in my belly.
It was delightful to be looked at that way… despite everything.
After Sloane was seated on her throne, I turned to look around for Juno, but I couldn’t see her anywhere.
She must have left.
I felt a wave of pity, she must be feeling truly overwhelmed.
At least I was here with Lord Kael, but she had nobody to talk to or dance with.
I couldn’t shake off the horrible feeling that I had deserted her.
As I looked for her, I felt a firm hand grab my palm and I turned startled to see Lord Kael.
His vibrant intelligent eyes spa
