He looked into her eyes, a smile on his lips. He had waited a long time to tell her how he felt, but he never imagined in his wildest dreams, that this beautiful, smart, Princess would ever feel the same.

He didn't expect her to have an exact moment, and he would never hold it against her for taking time to realise. He was just glad that she did, that

Teddy then laughed "You're relieved?" He asked. "Trust me, I am far more relieved." He said, his hands stroking her waist lightly, moving to around her back, stroking the small of her back. He didn't want to let her go, no, he wanted to just hold her, and be in this moment for as long as possible.

"I think Josephine will be very relieved, after all, I talk about you a lot with her, she must be fed up holding all our secrets." He chuckled.

He lift her hand, stroking her cheek tenderly. "She will always be very loyal to you. She adores you. Just not as much as I do." He smiled.

"I would very much like to keep this up, our little... meet ups, and I know that we would both would be in trouble if we are ever caught. But you, my Princess, are worth whatever they can throw at me, I would rather spent a short life with you, then a long miserable one not being able to hold you in my arms." She admitted "But I would understand if you feel it impossible, I will respect whatever wish you have."

As the kiss slowly came to an end, Amanda pulled slightly away. It was only a bit, she still wanted to be close to him. Close enough to capture his lips in another kiss if possible. She smiled softly, her eyes opening as her blue eyes gazed into his. She smiled even more. Her mouth opened a little in surprise about his confession, only now realizing she couldn't really name a certain moment where she knew she was in love. It had been a feeling that slowly build up over the time he was around. From their first gazes to the first time their hands touched. There had been many small moments that led up to this. And she was happy they were here right now.

"I fear, I can't really name a specific moment myself." she chuckled softly. "From the moment you've been assigned to me, my father chose you for my protection, I was destined to be with you." she spoke softly, her hand moving down to hold his.

Any thought of reality that their love wouldn't have a chance seemed to be locked away. No, for that moment it was only them. "You may not realize how relieved I am to know that this feeling is mututal." she chuckled. "Your sister may be very relieved to hear about these news." she smiled. It was her who knew everything about the princess. About her well being, her feelings and what relly mattered to her.

"And I know she is doing her duty outside of this room." she spoke, now her smile turned into a little grin.

Teddy let out a soft hum as they kissed. Her touch was electrifying. It honestly was the most perfect touch he had ever felt. So warm, and soft, and tender. His other hand gripped her waist, his fingers digging a little into the soft fabric of her dress.

The closeness was making his skin warm up, heating so much that he wondered if he might burn her delicate fingertips.

When he felt her mouth open a little, he was surprised, but Teddy responded, his mouth opening a little with hers, his tongue peaking out to brush her lower lip, before his tongue slipped a little into her mouth.

He knew it was risky to be kissing her like this, to even be this close. If someone came through the door, both their heads could be on the block. But he knew if his sister was behind that door, she would let them know if there was anyone on their way.

Slowly he pulled back, his hand cupping her cheek as he looked into her eyes. "You have to know Princess.... I have loved you for as long as I can remember." He breathed.

Still caught in the moment, everything happened so quickly. Her pulling away, Teddy pulling her back and their lips finally touching again. Her tensed body started to relax into the kiss, and she let one of her arms move around his shoulders, making sure she was even closer to him. Within short seconds, the hesitation she once felt turned into passion, longing passion. Into something that had been long overdue.

Her skin tickled when she felt his hands on the back of her neck, playing with her hair. The touch of his fingertips send fireworks through her body, a feeling she never wanted to stop. She opened her mouth slightly, giving him permission to let his tongue slide into her mouth. Until then, she let hers meet his lips, asking for permission to tangle with his.

Her free hand was moving down his back, slung around his broad torso. Never had she felt safer before, never felt she more free. She was getting lost. Lost in the feeling of love.

Teddy would do anything for her, anything for this beautiful, kind, caring Princess in front of him. He wanted to take her away from her troubles, whisk her away to freedom.

He looked in his eyes, seeing the peace that was in them in that moment. He smiled softly, wondering if he was the one that brought the peace to her. He hoped he was, he hope that for just a moment he could clear her troubled heart and mind.

As he lowered his hand, he took a breath, only to feel her hand reach for his. He looked down at their hands, then lift his head as he felt her hand on his cheek.

He lent a little into her touch, enjoying the warmth and softness of her palm against his skin.

He went to speak, to answer her, but instead, he felt her lips on his, and he practically melted into the kiss, however, he was in too much shock to actually do anything about it though.

But there were sparks, there was fire and heat and desire. He desired her more now. His love for her only grew in that moment.

When he pulled away, he looked at her for a moment and shook his head. "Nope. Not long enough." He mumbled, his hand wrapping around her waist and pulling her in again, crushing his lips to hers and kissing her back with a heat that he had never felt. His other hand moving to cup the back of her neck, tangling a little in her hair.

In moments like these, the princess wished she could escape all of it. Her duties, her title, her whole life just to be with him. Run away with him. She had never admitted nor told anyone about the feelings she carried for the man in front of her. Never had she spoken about the way he lifted her mood whenever it was down. How he managed to make her smile whenever he came around.

And in moments like these, when she was gazing into his eyes and he into hers, she felt like he could feel the same. That he loved her as dearly and strong as she did love him. And if she was a little braver, she may would've leaned in and placed a kiss to his lips. But she wasn't. Instead, she held her breath when she softly took her hand, placing his lips to her knuckles in the softest way she could ever imagine. Chills went down her spine, butterflies inside her stomach went crazy.

She had changed her mind.

As soon as her hand was lowered, she made sure to grab his to symbolize him he should stay in place. Her other hand, it moved back up, softly caressing his cheek again, her eyes locked with his. "I may be completely mistaken by this situation but..." she stopped speaking. Instead, her hand pulled his face softly down before placing a kiss to his lips.

She couldn't help it. Sparks seemed to fly the moment her lips touched his and everything else around them, every of her worries seemed to disappear. And she wondered, did he feel the same? Or was he maybe just staying in place because she was the princess. That thought quickly snapped her out of her dream, pulling away and looking at him.
