"Perfect timing baby." Val coos.

I drag his body into his camp. He's stationed outside of the kingdom. Why is Valentino even here? He's usually out in Equis. Why would he come here? He's after something. I know he is. I drop his bloody body. He looks at me and takes another whiff of smoke.

"I always like you sending proof of death." He says. 

"You might need to wash the floor." I say.

He chuckles.

"Why are you here Val?" I ask him.

He gives me dark eyes.

"I mean Daddy." I lower my head.

"That's better. I missed you." He walks forward.

His eyes look at me. He smiles at me. Okay, here we go. He takes off my cape. He wraps his lower arms around my waist. He puts his other two hands on my shoulder. His breath was on my cheek. It feels warm and smells like fire and roses. He really has an unhealthy addiction to smoking. 

"That still doesn't explain why your here." I say. 

He knocks me onto his couch.

"That's none of your concern baby." He pulls of his robe.

I take off my gloves and I pull of my shirt.

"I've missed this." Val smiles.

I let out a breath as he rests his body on mine.
