Chapter 145
Amelia wished her mind would stop acting a fool beside Killian going to bed without a shirt. This wasn’t the first or second time she had seen him without a shirt. He was shirtless many times in the Blackwell kingdom. ’I’m starting to understand why I shouldn’t have been judging the maids having sex with the castle guards in dark corners. These men have bodies out of this world,’ Amelia thought but then shook her head.
"Is there something wrong?" Killian’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
Amelia wasn’t aware he was watching her. It was embarrassing to think he saw her staring at him like he was a piece of meat. Technically he was but still. "No. I was thinking if I should go back into the closet to give you space to get undressed. Do you have to go for a shirt to sleep in?"
"No. I prefer to sleep without a shirt. Sometimes with pants but I will be modest in front of you. You know princess with where you are now it will be hard to not give into lust or other sins. How many times must I say the things you care about in that kingdom are not frowned upon here? You can stare at me without feeling it," Killian said, acknowledging that he had in fact caught her staring at him.
Amelia’s cheeks warmed up. "I was not staring at you."
"One thing for sure you are not that good with lying in a moment like this. You should work on your lying skills. Make it to the point that you believe your words are the truth. There are demons here who can pick up on your lies and allow you to speak, burying yourself in a hole before they admit to knowing you were lying," said Killian.
"What can’t demons do? This is double the stress I had back home but I will survive. I am going to bed first. Is there a side you care to sleep on?" She asked, trying to prolong it a second more. She was thankful to be soon knocked out by him and wouldn’t have to deal with any awkwardness.
"It is all the same for me. Have you never slept in the same bed as someone before? Even another woman?"
"My mother or sometimes Gina has rested her head against the bed but nothing more. I never had any sleepovers or anything of the sort and I rarely allowed anyone in my room even as a child. Not that I needed to because it was heavily mentioned I should not have my guest in my room. Specifically, men since I shouldn’t want my future husband to think I wasn’t pure," Amelia rolled her eyes.
