Stephanie's POV
The bed space besides me shifts and I watch him walk butt naked to my closet taking his clothes along with him.
He walks back into the room already dressed and starts buttoning his shirt.
"Why don't you just spend the night here like you used to." He chuckles at me and I roll my eyes.
"That was then Steph, this is now." He says in his husky voice whilst leaning in close to me on the bed.
He holds my chin and I stare into those enticing green eyes.
Our lips brush and he chuckles at me before pulling away.
"I can't risk anyone seeing me leave your room at this very odd hour in the middle night." He adds moving away from me and I pout.
Strange, he used to sleep over anytime we met and left the next morning.
But ever since he came back he has changed.
Something, is not right.
"I saw you leaving the castle." He says and I sigh exposing my bare legs a bit.
"Yes, I went out with Claire, we were getting to know each other." I state and he nods.
"You know for some reason she really can't stand you." I say and he laughs but it really doesn't meet his eyes.
"And surprisingly you're nice to only her. Is there something you're not telling me, Arthur?" He has his back facing me now but I can see the tension in his muscles.
"I don't answer to you." He says turning back to me with that usual cold expression on his face.
"But you don't have to worry about anything either." He moves closer to me again.
"You're the only one who can satisfy me." I smile to myself before he kisses me aggressively yet lustful then walks over to the door.
"See you around." He says before disappearing through the door.
I exhale hard and lie back down on my bed staring at the ceiling.
I wonder.......
