Summary: Kel can make her own decisions.
“How’s your head?” Dom asked quietly, stopping as they reached Kel’s room.
“Much better now that I’m away from all that noise,” Kel admitted. “I didn’t think so many people would be interested in celebrating the news.” She unlocked her door and stepped into her room, turning to face him.
“It’s not right,” he searched her hazel eyes intently.
“Dom, Owen won the right to my hand. I had to accept the betrothal.”
“Kel, you aren’t a court lady that has to follow the rules. You are independent and you can make your own decisions. You always have before. Why are you willing to just accept this?” He took her hand, sapphire eyes pleading. “Please Kel.”
She didn’t respond, but he recognized the look in her eyes. He had seen glimpses of it since she had been a squire, when he would be pouring on the heavy charm. Back then, he would flirt with her to pass the time. But she had done a lot of growing up since she gained her shield and took command of Haven.
She shook her head, but allowed him to continue holding her hand. “We’ve been over this Dom.”
“You’re telling me you are happy with the way things are? That you don’t wish things were different?”
“That irrelevant.”
“It is not! You deserve to be happy Kel. I would make you happy. You know I would.”
“Dom, I -”
“Kel. All you have to do is tell me you don’t want me to bother you. I’ll leave you alone. Tell me Kel.”
“Dom, I can’t. I need you in my life. You know that.”
“Then be with me!” He stepped into her room, closing the door behind him. His eyes never left hers.
“It’s too late Dom! The preparations are already in place, I can’t not marry him.”
He stepped towards her, so his face was inches away from hers. “But you aren’t married yet,” he whispered. He slowly leaned down to cover her lips with his own. She responded, wrapping her arms around his neck to keep him from pulling away.
“Just give me one night, Kel.”
She bit her lip as she thought through her options, her arms still around his neck. “One night,” she said finally. “But I will still marry him as planned.” She allowed him to pull her towards the bed.
“We’ll see,” he responded, gently pushing her onto the bed.
