Tobias’s P.O.V.

‘I don’t like this.”

The words continued to run through my mind, flooding me with guilt as I tried to understand what I had done wrong. Joselin had called it flirting, and I called it seducing, but in the end, we were both enjoying each other.

I didn’t want her to seduce me. I wanted her to fall in love with me.

I leaned back on the couch, needing a minute to myself while Natalie was with Killian. I was no longer on her full-time detail as her bodyguard, but as I was on-call and worried about the new threat Joselin was looking into, I was staying close.

Joselin was the only positive thing about being stuck in the castle all day. Having her around made dealing with the rest of the council members tolerable. Still, I felt out of my mind, surrounded by all these women trying to kill each other constantly, even more so now that I had upset Joselin.

I thought we were having fun, flirting, and sparring. But she didn’t like it.

I needed to talk to her about it, but she seemed more determined than ever to avoid me. Something that she hadn’t done in a long time. How could I understand what I had done wrong when the infuriating woman wouldn’t speak to me?

“You look tense. Want to talk about it?”

Rona laughed at her own joke as she moved around the arm of the couch, her hand sliding across my shoulders and the back of my neck as she did so.
