Chapter 29
Kol stood on Kessa’s balcony looking over his great city. It was a beautiful sight.
Beth interrupted his thoughts; “she is asleep my king. Would you like for me to wake her?”
“No. Thank you.”
She bowed her head and left.
Kol found her asleep. She was his angel. How she looked the part at this very moment. He was lost in thought and didn’t notice that she was awake.
“What brings you my way?” Her eyes were sparkling with a mischievous twinkle.
“Will I ever be able to surprise you?”
“You surprise me all the time.” She sat up in bed; “but I’m guessing not in the ways you wish to.”
He sat at her feet on the bed. Those feet that jumped, climbed, and ran looked so sweet. “I should have done this a long time ago.” He caressed her foot.
Did he have any idea just how good that felt? Kessa could have bit a hole in her lip. She really wanted to know what he ‘should have done a long time ago’ but was enjoying this moment to much to ask. He produced a gold chain from his pocket and put it on her ankle. He took her breath away when he leaned down and kissed the top of her foot. “Kessa, will you be my queen?” He kissed her. Did he kiss her? And she kissed him back. It felt amazing. She was amazing.
He woke screaming. His hands were shaking. Frego ran into the room, “dad are you okay?”
He gasped for breath, “no.”
“Dad,” he asked softly.
