“Come on, girl. It’s just a cake, no need to get so emotional” Gavin teased, brushing me just a little with his shoulder as he tried to lighten up my
mood
In response to that, I playfully pinched a bit of icing sugar and placed it on the bridge of his nose.

I rolled my eyes playfully. “Why would you even ask that? Have you forgotten how this stuif works?”
Asher, who had been quiet until then, spoke up in his normal expressionless tone, “I’ll leave you all to catch up. I have some matters to attend to.”
He turned and walked away, leaving us to continue our celelarations and catch up with each other.
Gavin turned to me with a serious expression. “Grin, your life has been full of so inundi drama, and look at you handling it all well. I wish I could take you out of here, so you can live your life and be who you want to be

As the night wore on, my mom couldn’t help but notice. “Gernini, what’s wrong?” she asked, concern etched on her face. “You seem your food.”
I shrugged, trying to brush it off. “No, of course not. I’m just full, that’s all.”
But my mom wasn’t convinced,

“Um.. I..” I fell short of words in that instant, not knowing whether to admit it or continue acting like it was nothing. I wanted to tell it to Asher before telling anyone, but it seems my cover has been blown.
“Wait Gem, are you serious?” Gavin asked, I nodded shyly and Gavin immediately grabbed me tight in a hug, his excitement contagious.
“Don’t get too excited, I might never even have access to this child after delivery” I said, killing the moment of excitement and focusing on the reality.
As the night drew to a close, my mom watched her time, “Gem, I have to return home.” She announced, giving all kinds of reasons to back her decision. But I urged her to stay, and after some banter, she agreed.
Finally, we all retreated to our rooms, exhausted but happy
etup that took my breath away.
As I opened the door to my room, I was greeted by a perfect line of arranged candles and a romantic setup
I looked further into the room to find Asher sitting on my bed, wearing just a robe- his commanding gaze drawing me closer. What the heck is happening? I thought he had something important to attend for Could this be a dream?
I felt a fluner in my chest as he stood up and walked towards me, his eyes burning with the intensity of his desire.
-Your Majesty, what is all this?” I asked, trying to sound calm.
He chuckled and a small, almost invisible smile crept onto his face. “Don’t ruin the mood, just play along?
He reached out and gently touched my face, his fingers sending shivers down my spine. I felt myself getting drawn into his web of seduction, forgetting all that I had ever said in the past and focusing on
on his gentle kisses around my neck.
“Asher” I called with the intent to stop him, but deep down, I knew I didn’t want him to stop.
He picked me off the floor and carried me towards the bed. His hands reached for his robe and he loosened it and flung it across the room. exposing his perfectly built body. The only thing on him now was a boxer and I couldn’t help but swallow hard as pictures of our first night came dancing in my memory, desire almost taking a toll on me
