He smiled at the man and pointed to himself, “Lukase pointed to lily. “Lily. We don’t want any special treatment as this is not a
simply wish to have dinner.”

Lily squeezed his hand and he turned to wink at her. The maitre’d led them to a secluded area and set the menus on the table. Lukas glanced at Lily.
“Do you need a menu?”
“No. I want the biggest steak you have and mashed potatoes and gravy, please.”
“Country gravy or brown gravy, ma’am?” Lukas growled. “Lily” he corrected himself.
“Brown, please.”
“Perfect and for you,” he cleared his throat nervously. “Lukas?”
“I’ll have the same.”
“What can I get you for drinks?”
“May I have a hot tea?”
“I’ll take the same.”
“Perfect. We will bring it out to you as soon as we can.”
He took her hand as the man walked away. “So, Lily, What do you want to be when you grow up?”
She blinked at him. “I can have a job?”
He laughed. “Sasha has a job. Kalani has a job. They aren’t just queens. They are people, too.”
“I want to be a therapist.”
“A therapist?”
“Yes, why?”
“That’s just not what I was expecting/
“What’s wrong with being a therapist?”
“Nothing. Why a therapist?”
She looked down at the table. “Before I met you, I used to want someone to talk to, but there was nobody for me to confide in. I want to help people like nobody helped me.”
A waitress came over to the table. “I do apologize, but the maitre’d forgot to ask how you wanted your steaks,”
“Well done, please,” Lily told her.
He hesitated. If he said raw, would she freak out? He eyed her.
“Lukas?”
“Uhmmmm…….. medium rare?”
“Okay. I will bring it when it’s done.”
Lily smiled at him. “You don’t have to change for me.”

His finger stroked her hand. “I know, I want to though.”
The waitress came back with their teas. She left just as quickly as she came and Lily leaned across the table to peck his cheek.
“Thank you.”
All he could was nod. A few minutes into their silence, the waitress brought their entrees. Lily eagerly cut into hers and frowned. She sighed and began to dig into the potatoes.
“What’s wrong, baby?”
“Nothing.”
“Something’s wrong. I can see it on your face.”
“It’s just my steak is a little under done. It’s not a big deal.”
“We can send it back.”
“No! I don’t want to bother them.”
He sighed. “Lily, this has nothing to do with being royalty. You asked for well done. They can fix it.”
“Lukas, back off. I said I don’t want to bother them”
He sighed. He hadn’t expected her to tell him to back off soon. He was only trying to make sure her food was right. He picked her plate up and she glared at him. He breathed out and heated the steak more. He cut into it and saw that it was well done like she had asked. He gave it back to her.
“There is no reason for you not to have your food the way you want it.”
It was her turn to stare at him. “Th- thank you”
“Enjoy.”
They ate in silence and he had never been so content to not talk. Just being with her made him happy. He loved watching her and right now there was nothing to stop him from memorizing every little thing she did. When she had finished every last bite, she sat back in her chair.
“That was the best damn steak I ever had.“.
on at the weird voice that came from her. “Gemma?”
He dropped his spoon
She blinked and her eyes went back to being blue from the silver they had been a few seconds beforehand. She shook her head, Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“I’m Lily.”
He eyed her curiously. When did she- Kalani! How had he missed it? He smiled.
*You know, Lily, when Gideon first started to make himself known to me, it was always in times when I needed someone to talk to. He always made me feel better.”
She looked away. “Why are you telling me this?”
“Just wanted you to know.” He stood up, tossing his napkin onto the table. “Are you ready? It’s been a long day.”
“Yeah,”
They started walking back to the hotel. Halfway there, she stopped. He turned towards her.
“Lily?”
She hesitated before taking his hand. He curled his fingers around hers. She smiled and tugged him back to their room. She grabbed her pajamas and dashed into the bathroom to change. He quickly changed and sat on the bed. She bounded over to the bed and pulled him back onto it. She laid down.

facing him. She touched his cheek.
“Can I talk to Gideon?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Please.”
He sighed and unwillingly gave control to Gideon. He groaned when Gideon immediately leaned forward to kiss her. He slid Lukas’s tongue into her mouth as he rolled her over. She put her arms around his neck as he moved between her legs to grind. She let out a little moan and Gideon’s
control snapped. He began to kiss her more roughly and bent her leg up, pushing harder against her. Lukas tried to pull him back, but Gideon shoved him back
“GIDEONI STOP IT,‘ he yelled.
She pulled away from him, panting and touched his cheek. Gideon went to kiss her again. Lukas fought him harder.
“Gideon, listen to me,” she said, moving her hand over his face. “I’m not ready for that, but I promise when I am, you will be the only two I will want to do that with.”
Her words stopped Gideon’s movements immediately. He stared down at her. Lukas mentally patted his shoulders.
‘Gideon, we have to be patient, Lukas murmured.
She pressed her lips softly to his. “I promise, you’re the only two I can think of doing that with. I am just scared. I know I wanted to before, hut a lot has happened since the movies and-”
He leaned down to kiss her tenderly. “You don’t have to explain anything to me, Lily. I will wait for you. I’m sorry if I frightened you.”
She giggled. “Never scared of you, but you seem to be having a little problem…” She blushed, “Or a big one.”
Lukas winced and started yelling at Gideon. ‘GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER, YA DIPSHIT.”
He chuckled and pressed against her once more, before rolling off of her. “When you’re ready, I’m going to show you just how big of a problem I’m having ”
Her face darkened. He leaned down to peck her lips again and gave Lukas control back. He wasted no time in darting to the bathroom to take care of said little big problem.
