CHAPTER 21 AMELIA My mind was still occupied by what just transpired between Alaric and me, at this point, I knew it wouldn't be long before we went all the way. Somehow I feel I am ready, I love him and he loves me so much too. Although I had not told him yet, I was sure I did. "You spent a whole lot of time in the bathroom, were you that nervous?" Constance asked as I tried to regain my composure. My legs were still shaky, and I squeaked. "Yes, I was adjusting my corset, a string pull," I lied, it wasn't exactly a lie when Alaric had lifted my skirt. "Oh, my lady, you did it all wrong," she snorted, making her way to me to help me fix it, while my eyes trailed as I saw Lucia approach me, she had a feigned smile on her face. Right now she is the last person I want to interact with.
