Jesper moved quickly through the castle halls, his heart beating fast. He had been avoiding Subedei for days. The last time they met, he had stolen a kiss from him.
It was foolish, but he could not stop himself. Now, he feared what Subedei would do if they met again.
As Jesper turned a corner, strong hands grabbed him. He gasped as he was pulled into a dark storage room. The door shut behind him.
"You thought you could run from me?" Subedei's deep voice filled the small space.
Jesper swallowed hard. "I..."
Subedei pushed him against a shelf, his dark eyes full of anger. "You dare steal a kiss from me and then disappear?" He leaned in closer. "Tell me, was it a game to you?"
Jesper shook his head. "No… I..."
Subedei's grip tightened. "You will not escape so easily, Jesper. I will have my answer… and my revenge."
