Hi yall, chapter 8 was recently uploaded! If you are looking for a twist on the enemies to lovers trope, give this a try!
Snippet from another recent chapter (6):
Upon my independent approach to the table, I feel a hand on my upper arm, motioning me to wait. His Grace swiftly pulls out the seat, disturbing the white cloth hung over the tableâs side. He glides his opposite hand down along my back, pressing gently as he gestures for me to sit down. I watch as he takes a seat across from me, bringing his elbows to the table and resting his head over his clasped hands. The curve of his lips illustrate a seemingly genuine fondness as he gazes into my eyes. I begin to feel self-conscious as the subject of his lingering stare and anxiously glance around the tableware, desperate for something to warrant my attention. Roses in a porcelain vase, silverware lining either plate, cloth napkins fastened with gold rings. Jittery, I reach for the nearest utensil. A fork, thatâs worth examining. I certainly couldnât use filthy cutlery if I was to enjoy a meal with His Grace.
