Chapter 35: Cornered

"Oh, yes. I was." Hugo drawled in response without missing a beat, then he stepped even closer to me, his eyes still focused on Landon. "Now, why do you give us some privacy?"
I stiffened, looking between the two of them. They looked like they were just teasing each other like friends, but I knew better after the conversation with the three Prince’s last night, and I could pick out the hardness hidden underneath their easy voice.
I was about to make an excuse about wanting to return back into the party when Landon stepped closer to me then he draped a hand over my shoulder, a smile across his lips as he scoffed.
"And why would I do such a thing?" He crooned as I stiffened even more.
Hugo let out a laugh as he stared betweem me and Landon .
"Why are you touching her, cousin?"
"Now why should I explain myself to you?" Landon shot almost immediately.
Hugo let out another soft laugh before focusing on me. "Tell me, is he forcing you to not speak up? If he’s making you uncomfortable, tell me."
