Centori didn’t often think about the aloof blonde, with the large mark carved into his chest. Every now and then, something caught her eye that instantly brought her back to their unusual moments together. This time it was a tie with tiny rats on it. Cen still never quite knew if she was offending the man, but something told her that it would be made clear if she was. There was no card attached, no words spoken to the courier. What could she say? It seemed their link now was between themselves and not in the beautiful flower that had brought their worlds together.
Sarinna walked out of the room as Mora entered. She looked at the King and skipped her way to him, wrapping her arms around his waist. It was then that she noticed the tacky red tie in his hands.The King was silent as he stared at the little rats decorating the tie. A soft smile spread across his lips and he seemed to sigh.
“Where did you get that?” Mora sneered, but the King didn’t say a word. He continued to stare at it with a sense of adoration, which triggered the small redhead. “WHO gave that to you?”
Without any change in his demeanor, the King simply said, “A friend.” Mora wrinkled her nose. She didn’t like the answer, but pressing on would be dangerous. She forced a sigh out, pressing herself against his skin. “Do you even like ties?”
The King laughed softly and turned to see her. No, he didn’t wear ties, but this was more than just a tie. This was a reminder from the past; a welcomed reminder of better times. He missed those times. Life was easier even when she complicated things for him. He liked that complication. And now, here was the residue of that past life, still haunting him. He had to meet with Centori. He had to feel that past come to life, if only for a day. And he would. That was a silent promise he made to himself, To her. To Centori.
Grabbing the tie with both hands, he pulled it and smiled at Mora. “Oh, yes, I like ties...” He pressed the tie into her mouth, pulling it across to make speaking difficult and he spun her around, one hand pulling her skirt up. “You’re going to love ties too, my precious Doll.”
