It was completely inappropriate for him to be looking at her the way he was. While she trusted that he would not hurt her or press himself on her, Tilda couldn't help but be intimidated by his closeness.<br/><br/>She was reminded of the one and only time he ha kissed her. They were children and it really couldn't even be considered a kiss. She had been curious to try it, like all the princesses in the books she read, and he had agreed to be her guinea pig. It was sort and awkward and the only time she had even been so close to a man. Despite the opportunities she had had, Tilda was pure in every way.<br/><br/>A small gasp escaped her lips as her mind raced to catch up with her body, which betrayed her by flushing with warmth and redness. This would never do, if anyone found out...if Raqiza found out...it would surely be the death of her.<br/><br/>"My Lord," Tilda swallowed, her voice sounding much more timid than she had meant it to. "Perhaps you could release me and we could speak more comfortably" biting her lower lip, she tried not to be aware of not only her body but his as well. He wasn't even touching her and she could feel his strength, intoxicating her. "The laws...." forbid this, but she couldn't find the will to say so.
